 Scott, as usual, you deserve the fucking you get by not asking us who does our 
repairs. We are sponsored by DUI, we use Superior Dive Repair, and our 
sponsoring dealer, Northeast Scuba, will fix them as well. All of us know that, 
so where does Evvy Dudas come into the picure?  I can not believe you belong to 
the best organization in the business, and we repeatedly have to drag you out
of 
the diving equivalent of gay bars . Next thing I will hear that you asked John 
Zumrick to work on your scooter, or had Ed Paradisio build you a new light. How 
about a lesson from Bill Dooley while you are at it, or maybe a dive with the 
Transformer and Lockwood? Done any Tai Chi breathing lately?
