oh yeah? well I'm a Civil, Structural, Architectural Draftsman/Designer/CAD manager for an engineering + construction + transportation firm in Pascagoula, MS... part-time I'm also a Transportation Supervisor for our transportation dept. out at Chevron.

I mainly design steel and concrete structures for major refineries (i.e. Chevron, Shell, BP, etc) and chemical plants. I also manage all of our CAD machines (make sure they're all working properly, installed correctly, fix them when things go wrong, and write programs for AutoCAD), fix the plotters, run errands, and do field work too...

mine's not a 'boring' job. basically I'm an "all-arounder".

From 91 to 93, did you ever see a big one-armed skateboarder? ;)

don't remember one, but that was a few years ago. let's see you would have been 18 or so? My wife worked next door at Deposit Guaranty, Jimmy Kennedy was her boss. He left soon after she did to coach at Pearl HS I think. Haven't kept up with many folks.
By the way, I got my new reg setup today. Aqualung - Legend and Octo. 84" miflex LP hose, seacure mouthpiece.... can hardly wait til this weekend to try it out. Got drysuit this past saturday, it came in while i was Bonne Terre, so I missed a great chance to break it in. I'm gonna bring it, but not sure when I'll use it. I've been practicing in the pool with the skills, but don't won't to be fiddling with it while trying to DM for Don while doing OW cert with 2 divers.  But, I'll work in some training time somewhere.

Look forward to diving with you,
TC

Ahh, it was awhile ago. :)

No idea about Kennedy.

Sweet! I love new gear (and new to me gear). I may have my dry suit with me but, I'd only put it on to see if it fit a little better. I'm still trying to lose more weight so it won't be so tight anymore. :)

Can't wait, only a few more days and we'll all be diving.
