Evening, folks. Hope everyone's been well.

Super busy here. Spent all evening in the YMCA pool on Tuesday doing my confined water dives. Got 3 more pool dives and 4 openwater and then I'll be certified! Good chance I'll be buying my own gear afterwards since the instructor is looking at buying new gear and selling his old stuff.

Expecting to get the website for the Stair Climb up and running in a little over a week so that we can get registration opened. Also started to plan a big fundraiser for the department that will heavily rely on a website I'll be building.

Lots going on!

I know I'm going to catch hell for saying this, but I'd rather work on a GM than a POS 6.0...
