Me and my wife - kids have lost their desire to go to the socials as they have gotten older - I guess last Winter was the last one for them.

Details? Where will this event be held?
I will not be going to the social because the last time i went i felt like an outsider. I am not a shy person and tried to talk to a few people and i guess that because i wasn't in the click i didn't warrant talking to. I do know a few people on the cdf and they are great people. I am not writing this to envoke anyone feeling bad for me because i have a great bunch of friends that i cave dive with. I always try to make new friends where ever i go but i will say that the cdf social was one of the most uncomfortable social gatherings that i have ever been to. If i offended any one i am sorry!!! I just wanted to write this so if you go to the social and see a new face go and talk to that person you never know you might make a new friend.
I'm not in the "clique" either. I just show up for the food and door prizes :-) If you come this time and talk to me, I'll talk back. Promise !Quote:

I think a volleyball net, horseshoes, pin the tail on the donkey or something might look more inviting. Ill come this year if the wife goes to Daytona, she does not like socials unless its a quilting bee or something that interests her. Theres another activity for us.
Bob, 2 maybe's....
- whats the lowdown on diving at Lafayette..? Or is this more entirely a social event..?

Cool dive.. bring a lot of spools with a lot of lines... Great dive but don't expect to see the walls all the time...Quote:

I'm going to give LB a shot.
It was a pretty cool dive last time I did it. You don't always see much between the sinks, but there are a lot of sinks :-)Quote:

Guys, I am hoping to be over that way doing some work, so I will take an extra week and maybe fit in the social. It would be great to meet some of you guys I have heard loads stories about some of yea and it be great to put a face and a hand shake to them. I always seem to miss these socials so maybe fingers crossed I will make this one.
That would be great! Looking forward to meeting you.Quote:

Wow,
Looks like we only need to buy a couple of packs of buns so far!
We might have to broaden our advertising!

If I didn't live 1450 miles away, I'd be there irrespective of the presence or absence of crab legs. I need to get closer to cave country!

crayfish boil? that'll get my attention. you can keep the crablegs (either frozen for the trip from alaska - yuck - or too dang skinny to be of any use).Quote:

Crablegs and yuk doesnt belong in the same sentence. Those water bugs your talkin about are all head. A 4 inch crawfish with a 1 inch tail to eat is a bummer. I guess some suck the heads and get a little more, not me.
It wouldn't take too many of those Merritt's Mill Pond crayfish to make a meal - they're enormous!
