Re: Anyone interested in diving Fish Lake (LeSueur

Chris:
I have an image of you doing a giant stride off of the front porch into a snowbank. Smiling the whole way down.

I confess that I fell off of the wagon earlier this month while in Key Largo. I know that any good Minnesotan would wait for spring to dive.....but you know how it is. All of those dive flags waving from the rooftops... I snapped.

Now I'm curled up in the corner of my living room shaking like a leaf. Hallucinating about water over 40 degrees, air over 20, and the drysuit I must deserve for coming home.

Jean:
I'm guessing that the water next to my lawn chair will open up the soonest. I only say this because I own a forced air propane heater. On another note, I'd be glad to splash you frequently as a thank you for taking over the watch while I'm testing the ice. Thank you for the invite to the pool session: I must work that day and am spoiled by having access to the pool at work.

Jason:
Binoculars are a wonderful idea. If I position myself carefully, I may be able to watch a lake and the decorative pond in an adjacent industrial complex.

I think that would be a lot of fun to rally the troops for a lemming-like run into a local lake when the ice clears! I'll supply as much hot chocolate as will fit into the jug I have. In fact, with a little notice I will brew up a batch of chili and bring a camp stove to heat it.

Thank you all for being so welcoming to a new diver who is new to this board.
