So I put some weekend choices above to see who would want to get together for a weekend of diving at TRL.
FYI - You can pick more than one choice...

I'm in for Mar 20,21 and Apr 3,4
I'd love to get on the bridge. Also, I'd like to put together some info for the saddle at Breezy Point. SLIM and I did an incredible dive on the Zeb at that time of year two years ago. You could see the Zeb stem to stern and really didn't need a light at 90 ft.

My wife informed me yesterday that Easter is on the 4th of April, so that weekend is out for me.
I guess I should have looked at an actual calendar instead of just my work schedule...
The Bridge, Saddle and Zeb sound like great dives to me...

Any significance to the italics in the list? Almost looks like alternate lines, but that doesn't hold to the end.
I'd like to lobby for a hard push for the Mar 20,21.

The Italics is what you voted for (I think). I loged out and they were not Italic. The only ones that I see as Italic are the ones that I voted for...
Mar 20 and 21 sounds good to me.
Who else wants to go?

You can push for for March 20,21st but I will be busy on duty and only get to think about the diving you all might be doing.

So far April 10 and 11 is looking like the better bet. Personally I may be able to do both. Although I am going to try and schedule a class in April. Not 100% sure yet. Maybe I can put it off until Aug or Sept so I can get a few more dives in...

I could work some other dates and can look at more than one trip, too. Always great to have SLIM join in!

I may be able to make it, but am unsure at this point. Should know something within the next few days, though. I will post as soon as I do.....

March is crowded, but I could do April 10-11.

Well I am going down to TRL the weekend of April 10-11 but unfortunately I am going to be tieing up SLIM. We are doing a class that weekend. Certainly if everyone else wanted to come down and go out and do your own thing I am sure we could get together.

I will be leaving for Cayman on the 12th. Have fun taking the class. Geez, I can't imagine why it took you so long to get it done...I do have two guesses though ;)
Let me know what you need in your tanks when you figure it out. BTW, I finished the sidemount rig last night. I'll post some pics soon. It's pretty solid!

OK, Bubba and I are going down to TRL on March 26th. So if anyone else wants to join in let us know.
No real plans yet but we would both like to do Kimberling City bridge, Zebulon Pike, and Breezy Point. I think outside of that we have no plans (yet).

I would love to get on the bridge, but I dont know when I will be in the water again. I will probably need to get together with theskull for a scuba review next time I get to splash in.

I bet you will be in the water again sooner than you think... The kiddos did not keep me out for to long. Although I definitely did not get as much diving in as I would have liked, I still got in the water here and there....

I just got recruited for babysitting duty on March 27, so it looks like I'm out.

My wife is a nurse, and works a lot of weekends. The weekends she is off, I'm sure we will be doing family stuff, which I am looking forward to as well.

We are planning to dive TRL April 10-11. Have a pontoon booked out of Kimberling City on Saturday so we can dive the old submerged bridge as well as a couple other sites that part of the lake.
Sunday will most likely be shore dives at Dewey Short dam if anyone wants to meet up with us there.
Saturday night dinner? Any suggestions where to gather and recap the day? Shorty Smalls?

Jim and I will be down there for a class with SLIM, so depending on what SLIM does to us on Sat we should be able to meet up for dinner.

I'd vote for the Wooden Nickel in West Branson, but they closed !!! :-(
After Shorty's we could go to the Chateau and get ice cream at the sundae shop, eat cones on the balcony and take in the view of the lake.
Provided SLIM doesn't have us doing push ups all night!

Apparently now I have a congested eustation tube. IT should clear up before next weekend but the Dr. told me that it could last a few weeks. Right now it hurts like a B***H.

A fast ascent from 200 ft. would clear out that eustachian tube! LOL!
