Ice diving

[Terry]

                            Hey Everyone!
                          My friend Steve suggested a date to ice dive,,,,, what might you all, think, of the Christmas weekend, either the 26 or the 27th of Dec.? Contingent upon temp and therefore ice thickness, I think we'll be pushing it, much sooner then that, without a bunch of 15 below nights. I'll be happy to provide the propane, and beers for either Steves or Arts house. I might have (available to me) a couple :-\ a 600'- 1/2" poly line (brand new) for extended ice runs curious (before I show up with them), as to everyones take on running a line that long. Personally, I'm use to running long, but I was thinking both divers (with doubles or a 30 ft min backup cylinder) as it would allow us to get clear of the muck near the hole. May need the second 600' for the saftey diver, is that too far? Am I pushing the envelope at two football fields out, immediately under the ice?
                            Couple other things,,,,,,,,,,Grumpie my friend, you do make me smile, I'm no Saint, but thank you, I look forward to you joining us on my boat the "Impulse" this summer.
                                                                Robert I've not heard from you, these ice dives are doable in a wetsuit, especially inside a house, if your tough enough :-\,  I'll bring the camera to prove to everyone you were tough enough, you too make me smile.
                                                                I think Steves idea of an "Ice-a-paloose-a" with a couple houses and a bunch of divers this winter could be a dandy good adventure. Classes in one hole, good times (no offense Art :-\) in the other hole,,,,,THANKS EVERYONE!      TRINITY
