February sucked.<\/p>\n

It rained extremely hard throughout the month, so I stayed dry.<\/p>\n

However, there is lots of snow now in the mountains, so I thought it will be a great rafting season coming up.<\/p>\n

I emailed my friend Instructor John, “Hey John, there’s lots of snow up in the mountains.<\/p>\n

“California is almost drought free; how does rafting in the spring look?”<\/p>\n

Instructor John promptly wrote back, “The snow pack is great and the water level should make for good rafting this spring.<\/p>\n

“However, the problem is, I moved to Florida in November and won’t be around, but yes, the rafting should be good.”<\/p>\n

Wow… I don’t know anybody who can take me rafting now; and the commercial rafters – if there are any still in business – suck compared to John’s trips.<\/p>\n

The commercial rafters stretch a very short trip out into a very long trip with water fights and other BS; they also tone down the trip for kids and people who are not macho.<\/p>\n

An end of another era in my life has come…<\/p>\n

The things I thought would be around for a long time, if not forever, can disappear without warning.<\/p>\n

I keep telling myself to enjoy everything while it lasts.<\/p>\n

I just looked at my tanks – all my tanks need visual inspections.<\/p>\n

I’ll have to get that taken care of before I can get back in the water, and hopefully that will be soon.<\/p>\n

As far as what else I have been doing…<\/p>\n

I’ve been helping a friend open up a Harley Davidson repair shop.<\/p>\n

It has nothing to do with diving, but I figured I’d give him a plug.<\/p>\n

Here’s some photos from the Grand Opening of the shop on February 25, 2017:<\/p>\n

Hopefully I’ll be back in the water soon, until then…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
