Holy shit Jupiter os the brightest ive ever seen it tonight. In fact it was so bright i could even see it while the sun was out but setting. Amazing.

Dive went great today, 71 feet max, an hour dive, 66% nitrogen loading, boyancy was good, ascent profile was very gradual and safe. All the hallmarks of a perfect dive. Picture below shows my nitrogen tissue loading about 45 minutes after the dive. Link below if you want to see the full dive details.

i also took some video, will be sharing that soon.

This pretty much sums up any advice I have with regards to poa.st

Got another 2-3 hours of practice diving in the pool in. Mostly practiced getting my bcd on and off and then tested what weights id need on an empty tank. I finally feel comfortable enough to do a real dive in the ocean so i scheduled one for tomorrow.

My end goal is to do the 70 meter diver at the blue hole in 5 weeks, but this first dive will be an easy shore rec dive at 25 meters with 32% nitrox and some doubles. Will be my first real dive since my spina cord injury and ive been out of the water for so long im a bit nervous, but all my skills were spot on on the pool so im sure ill be fine.

Spent 4 hours practicing my SCUBA diving in a pool, spent the last hour doing a practice dive at 10 feet. This was my first time since my injury diving at all and i cant express how happy it makes me to see my tissue getting nitrogen saturated again (see the bottom of thr attached picture). Link to the activity below for a yone who wants to see. I have to say my boyancy was pretty close to spot on.

Apparently this beer is of the opinion that fat women shouldnt drink alcohol. How rude!

This sweater has me out here looking like uncle fester. No regrets, its the first time it has rained in egypt and the first night my t-shirt wasnt cutting it. Feels nice.

I made 3 new kitty friends. The two pictured i got to feed. There was a third i met on my way out that i cant stop thinking about. He was really beat up, chunks of his ear missing, pat hy fur, but he was so sweet. Second he saw he me he started in on thr head rubs. I was late to my cab so couldnt stop off to get him food like i usually do....

Anyway now that i left him i cant stop thinking about him and how sweet he was and how hungry he probably is. Im thinking ill find some meat and go back tomorrow and see if i find him. If i do maybe i can bribe a local shop owner to feed him every day after i leave. I wish i could take him home with me but i know thats not an option :( Ill be thinking about him all night.

This sign raises so many questions, none of which i want the answer to.

They are just out here parking camels in the parking lot like its perfectly normal.

I Tried several egyptian foods i havent had the chance to try yet. It was delicious but i have so many left overs.

The white dish is Rice Muammar, the brown looking rice is "Oriental Rice" which isnt very oriental by american standards, its rice with nuts and seasoning, the sausages are called Mombar and is lamb casing stuffed with meat and rice and spices, and finally the meat stuffed inside the pita is called Hawawshi and the bread is a bit crispy and amazing.

So some time back I was gifted with a Rolex from an investor friend who I managed to make a lot of money for. I never wear it, only time I do is if I'm wearing a tuxedo which is rather rare. Its kind of a wasted gift on me especially because I hear they can be rather valuable. I wonder what mine might be worth.

This is not photoshopped it is 100% real.

It is truly mind boggling that in a single persons lifetime we went from inventing the first plane and flying for the first time, to being on the moon. Could you imagine being the person who lived for those years and seeing that.

Now we are arguing with people who think covid and viruses in general dont exist and the earth is flat. Might be another few thousand years before we start progressing again.

It never ceases to amazes how headstrong conspiracy theorists are when they dont even understand basic terminology.

Awl, i just got random spam from asking me to join . This guy is a joke, now i wont sign up just to spite him and show him spam doesnt work.
