[Shooter]

Shooter's reformed!       :o I joined AA(anchors anonymous) When I realized the historical significance of all of those anchors,and the error of my wicked ways, I had to deflate my liftbag and return them to the bottom. It's a 12 step program that practices "progress" not "perfection". While there may be the occasional relapse, like picking up a fishing lure, I will rely on my Higher power, or some archaeological elitist, to get me back on the right path.

Speaking of being on the right path, I must commend you for donating that outboard motor as a prize in the first annual archaeological challenge! I have some bad news though.....It fell off the back of the boat and is now a mini archaeological site! I am going to get it a site number and register it with the state. I won't post the gps coordinates until its registered, and then you can visit it. The site will be monitored by armed guards. There is a daily fee of $50 to access the site. The dive site will be limited to 2 divers per day who will get the combination to the daily changing lock code. Divers will also need to have their dive gear inspected prior to gaining admittance. Only state approved gear and air will be allowed. There will be an inspector there who has never dove, but he will have a manual. If we are lucky, he might have stayed at a holiday inn express the night before. They will also need to show their logbook, highest level of certification, and provide the state with an insurance policy, listing the state as beneficiary.
