Hello everybody….. the old fat boy lives~! Been recuperating a little bit here from a long tough (but productive) week. 5 days…. 18 dives…. and soooo many pictures. We had a big group almost all of last week. 14 divers that rented the boat every day for their group. Really good for business. Kept all of the captains, Dive Masters and photographer really busy… plus there were enough local divers and other visiting folks, that warranted a second boat each afternoon….. so I went on each of them so I could be sure and get pictures of everybody. And I did…. so, so, so many pictures. Doing that many dives eats up a lot of time….. but editing that many pictures eats up almost the same amount of time. Of course, I do get to do that in the comfort of my abode, having the occasional drink with my Queen while I do that. The big group flew out today so they did not dive yesterday morning, so there was just the one morning boat yesterday. An acquaintance who had been chatting with on FB on diving here, came in and booked several dives on “my” boat— his first dive was Friday morning…. so I had to be on that boat. Nice guy, turns out he is dating the Niece of a buddy of mine here on the island and he put us in touch with each other (buddy is not a diver). I told him I was taking a couple of days off to recuperate and he understands. He will be on the boat Monday and Tuesday- so I will get to dive with him a couple more times before he heads back. There is a second group of folks (from the same organization as the first big group coming in next week as well, so I will be doing double duty again. Because of other commitments, I will only be doing double duty a couple of days this time, so it should be a little easier week.
Looks like I am going back to school for a little bit as well. I will be working toward getting my Dive Master certification. I don’t want to be a Dive Master- but the shop I work for has asked me to do it and I understand why….. so being the kind hearted [or should I say soft headed] old soul I am…. I’m gonna do it….. or try to. I should be able to get it as I already have probably 75% of the requirements needed for it. I start my orientation Monday evening. We also have another “Wine Tour” coming up. I hate shooting those things but I know the boss likes it when I do— so I’ll be there for that on Thursday evening~~ Today was a full blown recuperation day. Computer stuff and watching Manifest. My Bride is making Spaghetti – so I’m gonna chow down on that in a little bit. Tomorrow — probably mowing the damn grass again…… then resting some more 😉
Good Night Ya’ll – – – – – – – – – – – – – Thankx for stopping in~!
