... before exploring all the underwater vehicles, I wanted to get an idea of visibility and temperature at depth. I swim out 50 yards to the northern ledge where the bottom drops off into darkness. I begin a planned deep descent to 110 feet just five feet shy of the sloping bottom in the area I’m diving. I look at my computer and see that the water temperature here has dropped to 43 degrees. I can feel the cold on the exposed area of my face and neck and am ...

Before getting to our next stop we drive through the Michigan side of lake Michigan.  We were pleasantly surprised with the town of New Buffalo.  This place is a definitely upgrade from "old Buffalo"   We got to Warren Dunes park with put the Dune at Mt. Baldy to shame.  We  did 210 miles without a stop.  It helped that the kids were asleep pretty much the ...

We are spending two days at Patty's mother's house. Margaret and Steve hold down the fort in Fostoria.

This is the type of city that makes Ohio what it is, a dirty rundown dump. I installed a hand rail to make it easier to get in and out of the garage entry and tried to fix the broken ...

York was an incredibly beutiful city and it was just surreal to be there. When we rounded the corner from the train station the first thing we saw was the Minster and it was incredible. We walked the old city walls one day and the whole time I had the 'Grand Old Duke of York' stuck in my head ...

I got my hair permed in Ohio, I played in the fresh snow... a new experience for me. I enjoyed roller skating in an indoor roller skating rink, I enjoyed indoor bowling with new friends, and actually getting over 100 points (I got 102) I loved my friend Jillians family, they are so cool.

One last campground, playground, fire & Smores. Oh yeah, Kerri got behind the wheel today & enjoyed some time "away" from the boys.

Wow! What a day. While we where working in Fremont, OH this afternoon we got a call from our main boss. Do you remember that I wrote the other day about all the new policies that our company has put into place? Well we wrote them a letter just kindly discussing some of our issues with the policy, so they called today ...

Another double show day! Today was actually very great, though, our kraft rep Jeff came back and saw us at both shows and was so nice! He brought us all sorts of stuff for our event and even brought us more cokes! He is so kind! We had a great time working today and really enjoyed his company. His signage and samples he brought also really helped our event, we had a LOT of racers!
