Weekend warrior.
That seems to be the formula for the next little while, I guess. First another highlight from the airshow! Canada's getting these now, as are England and Australia. Pretty nifty machines: the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III -
They are like a Caribou on serious steroids! Land them anywhere, put anything in them, take them off anywhere. Long range, easy upgradeability, versatile, flexible, sexy! And they're made by Boeing, what more could you want? (I was going to say 'They are like a Beaver...', but try that one in there in place of 'Caribou'; all you people with minds in the gutter... geeez.)
I went diving this weekend with a small group from the University, which was pretty wet and very scenic. First, I got together with a couple of them on Saturday night and we watched Star Trek! It is good to finally find another couple of nerds close by. Especially ones that are nerdy enough to like Star Trek! Then they introduced me to Star Gate SG-1, which is definitely a worthy series. It was really good to get away from the noise and stink of all the idiots on Blackburn Rd who like their engine brakes at 0200. I'd like to stand out with a sign reminding the drivers that these are actual houses on the sides of the road, with real people living inside them and everything! 500 m either side is industrial, slow down then or use the foot brake...
But, all that would do is encourage more engine brake use.
Anyway, the dive site was at a drop off called Lonsdale Wall and there were lots of interesting fish and sponges and kelp and sting rays and other sea-related goodness.
Back to the grind...

Hey you
Didn't you know that we like Star Trek. But I guess it would be cool having some Trekkies close to you.
Diving sound great, Shannon and I must get back into that some day.
Catch up Soon
