Divasaurs

This blog is officially closed. It has been inactive for some time and stands now as an archive of past ruminations. CrabAppleLane has created a new blog and the new blogging software allows only a limited number of authors.

This is the new home of Divasaurs: Divelogs of the Bizarre. This url is temporary. The old one will work again in a few weeks once I've changed the dns. I'm not doing that until I have everything moved to this new server.

John Hoard at UI trying to drum up some business.

Pat Jeffries and Simon Tarr at UI in the convention center. I actually went to two conventions this week. Katie and I went to the Gulf States Horticulteral Expo in Mobile. They had things like mints and figs on toothpicks at their booths. UI had imported beers, daquiris and pretty women serving them.

Ran into several old friends at the Dive Symposium including Tim Noble.

A little coffee and Baileys on Dennis Popes boat with Tim O'Brian and Glenn Higgenbotham aka Bongo.

Jed Snyder and Brett Crotty at a pre-job safety meeting.

These bolts are the biggest I've ever had to install. We used small lift bags to maneuver them into the flanges.

This is one of the 30 inch pipeline pieces we installed in Mexico as part of a 750 million dollar project. Those are 900 series flanges.

This guy has been visiting the bird feeder for a couple of months. He has a white patch on his face, white ears and white feet. I searched the Internet and finally found out that he's a Mississippi phase of fox squirrell. This is the only place they are found with this coloring.
