Here I sit, stuck in Ohio, a snow drift of 48 inches blocking my front door. Dreaming of cave country and warmer wheather. SOMEONE TELL ME A CAVE STORY!!!The only good thing out of the whole deal, is I have a good reason not to go Christmas shopping. Oh---I guess I will spend the day on the computer :?

Gilboa...spent a lot of time in Gilboa. Did Mike ever get that monster compressor on line? He was showing it to me a couple summers ago, this was friggin' massive.

8 hours of shoveling snow. 22" in 24 hours. On my way in the house I stopped and stared at my doubles. Haven't seen this much snow since '78. brain and lips are frozen. It will be down to 0 tonight. 9 years to retirement and here I come NFL. 8)

We got between 2-12" down here in Columbus, but it's that damn freezing rain that's the real problem... Ryan Parkevich

we got 15" over the last 2 days here in central Indiana. Been shoveling snow all afternoon. Had to shovel a path from the back door out into the yard so the dogs would quit peeing in the doorway

Only 30 more years until retirement...

That is what I heard from my Paducah friend today, that I-24 was closed from there to Nashville... Hope you make it home for Christmas Kelly...

It is supposed to drop in the 20's here tonight, so you won't find me in the water till it warms up. THIS IS FL - we are not supposed to get in the 20's!

Unfortunately or fortunately I have no insulation. I got chilly diving a 3 mil in the Keys in JULY! For you it may be better to dive when it is colder, but not this little diver!

For those of you up north, please take the cold back.

Thanks!

Heres a story... about a caver... who had three lovley tanks... All of them felt so smooth... since they were hydro. But they were all alone... Till the one day a caver traveled... So he wouldn't be all alone...............


Ok, Ok, So shoot me.

Dewain you need to be busy thinking of how to get that wedding ring back instead of making jokes on here. L.O.L. I am just joking guy I hope you find it and I hope the wife is understanding.

At an average speed of 20mph when traffic is moving I will probably make Paducah around lunch. Hopefully central Illinois is reachable.

Ok, Ok, So shoot me.I always hated the BradyBunch. Worst show in the history of TV. I heard the guy who played Mr. Brady died of AIDS. --don't know if that is true. But I always liked Mrs. Brady---and Marsha. They could take my long hose anytime. :D

Ahh yes...yet another reason for moving to Luraville from Detroit...I neet to call my brother and gloat. I'm working out side in a T shirt :-D Now all I need to do is convince the boss I need to go for a dive.

Now Mikey, be nice. I spent three hours getting my wife's van dug out, then another couple trying to make the driveway presentable for her to park in when she got home. Damn neighbor hired a guy to plow his driveway - guess who's driveway he put the SH*^*& in front of? On top of this, we're supposed to have a low of minus ten tomorrow night - high of ten on Christmas day...... And to think I was in your shop just a couple weeks ago :(

Yea, I had my eye on the weather channel quite a bit yesterday, thinking about all my friends from the Ohio Valley and furthur North.
If I was still in Michigan, yesterday would have been the day I left for my annual Christmas trip down here. I would have been going through the worst of it right about at the worst possible time.
Drive safe everybody, don't be in a hurry to get anywhere, it's not worth it.
