Month: September 2019 (Page 2 of 4)

–I went to Ace for a scuba tool and Safeway for milk, cream and eggs.

–Second Scubapro Mk5 came in; it’s in really nice shape (IP around 110 though). Took it apart, cleaned it up. Waiting for some additional tools/o-rings before final assembly. Doing this one right.

–Mowed, pruned, etc.

–Scubapro Mk5 came in. Took it apart and cleaned it. Waiting for rebuild kit.

–Went to Phoebe’s Art Gallery in Capitola and bought some cool stuff.

–Got some bagels at The Bagelry.

–Roasted caf and decaf beans.

–Further, turns out that “modern” high pressure seats are not flat like every one I’ve seen; they have a sort of rounded concave cone in the middle. Even further, newer rebuild kits come with THREE of these seats, different sizes to allow adjusting IP higher or lower. Oh well, fifth time’s a charm…

–Had a good breakfast at Holiday Inn Express.

–Takeda petty came in from Arizona Custom Knives. Piece of crap–pitting right up to blade edge. Oh well…

–Took the Beemer to Sac to look at houses. Zero traffic; trip took 2 hours and 43 minutes.

–Dame Shirley house is single level, nice yard (no pool), needs interior updating. We’ll let it go to someone who’s been after it longer. [Also a security sign with “armed response” at beginning of Dame Shirley.]

–Dinner at Panera. Pretty good, though no more pastries for an extra $.99 (crappy cookies only).

–Went to Capitola Art/Wine Festival. Fun, but hot. Got a t-shirt, an etched-metal art piece, and got to see The Great Morgani.

–While I was playing with regulators, second stages showed weird popping behavior. Turns out new Deep Six first stage must have broken a seal and was way over pressure. Strange, since I just tossed a nice Scubapro Mk5 first stage that was also way over pressure. The tank tonight was only at 1,300 PSI. I don’t know what’s going on.

–Took the Beemer to Farm Fresh Produce (Moss Landing) for apples, oranges and such. Got gas at the Chevron station on US 1.

–Finally heard from Nate Newsom. Loan pre-approval seems to have gone through.

–Took the Beemer to Nepenthe; couldn’t find a place to park. Went back and had lunch at Rocky Point, on the other side of 1 than my memory said. Stopped at Carmel Cutlery, bought an OTF knife, put in a request for a Laconico super-grind.

–Went to Dr. Kim for phase 2 of the crown. One more visit, I think.

–Dinner at Round Table Pizza. Good!
