A set of French Triples

A CG-45 with the big chrome curved exhaust T

The other Navy Non Magnetic Double hose made by Bio-Marine.....Perhaps Ron Miller will put one in his will for me

My dream 3 pieces

1) a set of twin 50's steel VOIT or USD, with twin j manifold

2) the royal aquamaster i stupidly sold for university texts. The education did not do as much for me as the regulator did

3 enough spares to keep my gear going until I kick.

I would wish for a set of triples or a nice triple manifold. I also would like twin steel 50cf USD tanks. My third wish would be a new Voit Trieste to compliment the worlds finest regulator, the Royal Aqua-Master.

If the Genie hasn't been set free yet, I would wish
1. For the money to buy a helmet and C-Shell pack both in yellow from rmboulder.
2. Then I'd wish for a LaSpiro Royal Mistral
3. That everyone here on the forum could win their next Ebay Auction by default because no one else bid against them :D

In sober second thought... i would scrap my other wishes, and wish for only this. To win the 30 million dollar lottery next weekend, and then buy everyone some part of their wishes. That would give me the warm and fuzzies. I was visint a young fella who has cancer , and he wont see the spring. The little fella has grounded me in a way I had never thought possible.

The pursuit of objects sems to pale in comparison to what he is going trhough, and it is for the living that we give because after your gone someone will only take the toys.

So if I win the lottery, we dive til we drop , and party til we puke, all on my dime.

Merry Christmas Guys and Girls

a Healthy and propserous new year
