    Then your only recourse available is to make more money on the side by becoming a gigolo. Lot of retired widows with much disposable income in NFL. Those 12 tanks you need are just a couple of memorable nights of 'work' away from being a reality.

    Ya, gotta plan for that zombie apocalypse. LOL. I don't get why everyone needs so many guns.

    I would love to see the day when I could walk any street or alley in any big city and be 100% sure I would never be robbed. Until they day happens...
    There is your answer why so many guns are needed.

    Ok, i'm done hijacking this thread. Now for a real question:

    I like heavier tanks due to diving almost exclusively dry. So would PST 80s be a better solution than faber or worthington LP85s? Anybody use these tanks and notice a difference as far as bouyancy, trim, etc.?

    Ummm........ Forrest, the child leaving home is a GOOD thing. Something you look forward to and enjoy until she boomerangs back.

    No such thing as PST 85s, but there are Worthington LP85s. Worthington LP85s work nicely as sidemount cylinders. They are a little heavier than Faber LP85s, but they stay in trim the entire dive.

    Worthington LP85s would be a better solution than PST 80s if you're looking for something a little heavier. They also hold a lot more gas than HP80s.


    Oh, and I have all of you beat on tank ownership.

    2 121s
    2 108s
    10 95s
    6 85s
    2 72s
    2 60s
    2 AL100s
    18 AL80s
    4 AL40s
    2 AL30s
    2 AL13s
    15 storage bottles
    Picking up 17 more storage bottles in a few weeks.

    So that's 24 steels, 28 ALs, and 32 storage bottles. 52 scuba cylinders and a total of 84 cylinders that are in use for scuba diving. And I'm looking for more!

    Rob - You're starting to suffer from HPSBA. I refer you to Ted Green's post on TDS.

    A photo of just a portion of the master's setup from a few years ago. I'm sure its much bigger now. His home setup is the envy of every dive shop.
