Some people might say that I spend entirely to much time in the pool, on my bike, and wearing my running shoe's!

LOL, I think more than some

Why are you riding your bike in the pool wearing nothing but running shoes???

Multitasking!

Spoken like a "real man of genius"!

I asked the Boss to reopen this thread because...

After knowing many of you for more than a few years, I finally feel comfortable enough to share some of my experiences...

I've been pretty much a non entity, without much to post about, until I moved to the Big Island in 1983. At that point, I became a world class beach bum, & spent the next year or so chasing the perfect wave (boogie boarding) or the highest high...

During that time, I took scuba lessons from what would turn out to be one of the best underwater photogs that I'll ever be fortunate enough to meet...http://westphalproductions.com/

After my first intro dive, he called me later in the day to ask what I was doing that night...being totally ignorant of where the conversation was going, I replied...nuthin. To which he replied..."good, were going night diving"
Scared skitle$$, I was like...ummmmmm...Ok...

That was my REAL intro to diving, I got to see stuff that most vacation divers never see. The night brings a whole new cast of characters to the reef.

Since then, I've been fortunate enough to dive in the presence of more than a few shark species, including, but not limited to (ya just never know what's watching you while you're "down there") whale sharks, oceanic white tips, white tip reef sharks, false killer whales, manta rays, eagle rays, moray eels of the 10'+ range, & a whole bunch of other undersea critters that I can't possibly bore you with here.

Also, around the same time, I went into business with my soon to be X brother in law (I was married to his sister)...we started a Kona Coffee growing venture that required the bulldozing of 13 acres of virgin Hawaiian rainforest...OK, I'm not proud of that, but it did lead to some world class coffee......http://clicks.superpages.com/ct/clic...konakulana.com

Anyhoo, that's a thumbnail sketch of one of the most entertaining portions of the last 53 yrs...mebbe I'll think of more at a later time or date...

Evil genius maybe but hardly a genius...hell, with my memory I'm lucky if I can remember yesterday!

BOTH IMPRESSIVE...

Who would of thought that we have more than just VX's in common Dub! I too was a beach bum in my younger years surfing, boogie boarding, and body surfing California's beaches in my younger years...then skateboarding when I lived further "inland" (still have my Powell Peralta skull&sword/indy/bones board hanging in the garage).

And thanks for getting it reopened...I had read it before but apparently never responded.

I have never broken or cracked a bone in my whole body, in my 23 years of live in this world. And if u met me I'm one of those freaks that love Danger and pain, and still never even had a stitch other then a surgery i had when i was a baby.

I learned (the hard way) at a very early age that you should NEVER hit a basketball with a baseball bat.

I'm pretty damn boring. Best I got is a weight loss story. Went from 235 to 160 over one summer, and now back to a healthy 175ish.

Are those two items related somehow? :P

So, if you are a natural blonde, does that mean most women today have hair lighter than yours? (this bleached platinum blond trend really overdue for going away)
