DUI Drysuit Day at Gilboa

Wow, what a weekend. Friday, I went to Gilboa Quarry in northwest Ohio and met up with Jamie, Denny, and Bob. This is Jamie's vintage VW Van, formerly owned by his Uncle. His Uncle took this van to Woodstock.


Saturday was DUI Drysuit Day, where you got to test out DUI Drysuits. For you non-divers, there are wetsuits and there are drysuits. Drysuits seal out the water, therefore keeping you warm in cold water.


And, here I am testing out a drysuit. It really did keep me warmer than my wetsuit.

Here is Jessica and Dan, DUI staff. Jessica was very helpful to me in the donning of the drysuit.


Here is Dan and Kevin. Kevin sent me the invite announcement and I am glad that he did. This is the second time I have hooked up diving with Kevin, we dove at Portage Quarry once last year.


By the way, I got word that I left the event too soon. At the dinner, my name was called for a prize, but you had to be present to win. Oh well, it was still an enjoyable day.

Special Consultant to the NFL



That's right. I was one of a few select NFL fans around the country to participate in a NFL Fan Focus Group on the World Wide Web and was paid for it. The NFL wanted fan input on making the pre-season more exciting and meaningful. Tough sell, but I appreciate them trying to involve fans and get their feedback.
