9.3

May-July: I spent Thursday-Monday in Nags Head
Finally got that elusive week long vacation
Found a job
Fishing was pretty damn good
Overcame some injuries and got in pretty decent shape

I realize that summer isn't over, but it is for me. I don't like when the sun goes down before 8:30pm.

This summer was mostly miserable and a total waste of time.

8/17/2008 8:28:02 PM

i did this the other night. man it was depressing.

8/17/2008 8:35:23 PM

Hahah, me too. That's ironic. My mom wanted pics from a year ago from our trip to CA to visit family. My sister had just lost her husband and she was really depressed, it's a shock to see the difference between then and now.

I've had some perks, but working full time kind of kills the freedom

a lot of change

kicked it off by graduating from college
then I packed everything up and moved to NYC
worked at a job I hated for a bit and saved some money (paid off some debt) only to spend it all again on travel
had some rough patches in my relationship but I think things will be okay
and I'm finishing summer by beginning graduate school

8/17/2008 8:58:04 PM

Whoa, easy guys/gals. Didn't mean to bring the whole thread down.

8/17/2008 10:26:03 PM

Now that summer is over, x-mas needs to be here

8/18/2008 9:23:06 PM

100!!

I went scuba diving at the site of the shipwreck where the Queen Anne's Revenge is, which made the summer just completely kick ass.

8/18/2008 9:24:05 PM

about an 8.5


worked a lot, but traveled more (finally got to asia, and booked a trip back for october, different country this time)
settled into the place i bought
got laid enough that it never was an issue
haven't had to deal with a girlfriend
got some beach time with free transit and lodgings
started eating right, and enjoying it
been cooking more
been cleaning more
turned into a responsible individual


this summer i grew up a lot i think.

and i'm a-ok with that.... it puts me in a happier spot.

8/18/2008 9:29:36 PM

but getting better

8/18/2008 9:30:02 PM

mine's kinda been meh

my girlfriend has been away for a long time, so while im working she's off in europe and in china for the olympics

8/18/2008 9:31:21 PM

It was ok. I worked with my dad, so I didn't have to work at night, or on the weekends. That was nice. I only got one round of par 3 golf in though, so that sucked. I was able to go to the mountains once which was nice. I did manage to read part of one of my books for school. I'll probably be thankful of that in about 3 weeks.

Last time I checked it was $500 to dive that, and they don't actually know if it is the QAR. Then again things might have changed recently. $500 to dive in murky water on a boat they claim is the QAR but don't actually know? Yeesh.


I had a nice summer. I did first summer session, which was bleh but I needed it to graduate in December.

I went to Florida to take my cave diving class.
I few to Truk Lagoon in Micronesia for a week to dive the Japanese wrecks from WW2. While I was there I proposed.
I went to Hawaii for a week.
I went to Emerald Isle for a week.

Hopefully I can get in some river diving here shortly for artifacts and fossils.

8/18/2008 9:37:58 PM

i'd have to say...last summer was more fun in that i worked out a lot more and had a car and dumpster dived...tried a few drugs for the first time too

this summer was more beneficial to my future though imo

8/18/2008 9:43:26 PM

just in the last couple of weeks it went from very meh to completely awesome.

8/18/2008 9:45:01 PM

here, allow me to zoom in on my summer

8/18/2008 9:45:19 PM

Depending on how you look at it. . .

This summer was awesome. (10) My son received a life saving transplant on July 1st!!!

This summer was awful. (2) We spent most of the summer in and out of the hospital with our kid. Very little summer time fun.

8/18/2008 9:45:29 PM

mother fucker just called it a summer


get out your slide rule old balls

8/18/2008 9:46:13 PM

haha, his summer really is over though. he's in police bootcamp for the next 4 months.

8/18/2008 10:06:15 PM

i thought about going into the police academy. they are hiring like crazy here, and since I have a degree I can get the maximum pay starting out. sure, the pay still sucks, but I would never be bored at work

8/18/2008 10:08:22 PM

I'm sure that if I ever became a police man, my friends would murder me to make sure my mouth stayed shut

8/18/2008 10:09:23 PM

^ nah, you could make a ton of money on the side covering their shit up

8/18/2008 10:11:37 PM

yeah it cost some bling, and they traced the cannons back to that the time frame of the QAR, got a lot of artifacts from the site that have been ID'd as being from a ship the size and armament of the QAR, not to mention all the cannons they've found there are equivalent to the number of cannons reported to be on the ship. They've also found pieces of the ship (parts of the hull and stern) that also point in the direction of the it, they've also looked at port documentation and ship siting documentation in the area and time frames that match the artifacts and the QAR is the only ship in the area of that size at the time. According the archaeologists its pretty been 99% identified as the QAR.

So it cost money, big deal. So the viz sucked some, big deal, I've dove in low viz before, and on this site, it just kinda added a (what I"m calling) ghostly effect to the place. So its not 100% yet, big whoop, its pretty damn close and they're still bringing shit up. Plus I found some lead shot and gold flakes there as well, but turned them over the archaeologists that were with us. Not a whole lot of people have dove it, but I sure as hell did and that was cool.

8/18/2008 10:13:59 PM

summer? what summer?

8/18/2008 10:15:54 PM

crazy up until the move was complete. a few trips (g-boro, beach, cny). and a whole lot of being bored out of my mind waiting for things to pick up again

8/18/2008 10:19:08 PM

fart/10

8/18/2008 10:20:00 PM
