TRINITY'S 1st Annual 2010/2011 Icing/ Anchoring Challenge

[Shooter]

                    Nate that sounds just like the lite I lost out icing a few years ago, I told Steve I needed to carve my name into it before I lost it and someone else did!

I am pretty sure that my good gesture will net me five anchors on my next ice dive  ;D. It is good to give back  8) for those of you who don't fully grasp the concept of karma I am enclosing the following illustration.  :-X

I hope everyone stays the course and is still in this. I don't know how not knowing what swimming pool we were in makes this challenge "less fun". Have I been the only one keeping the dive location a mystery? Nope, I think that has been done in both camps. In the interest of keeping the mood light and happy, I am extending an olive branch of sorts. We will stay out of the water until February and let you get the train back on the tracks.

So If you could find it in your heart to stay with the challenge, I would really, really like that. I will tone down the sarcasm and my egotistical attitude. Have fun this weekend.

I was mostly upset over the fact that we told you where we found the first ten anchors and you two run down and jump the same spot and try and hide it by cropping the pictures. Terry and I don't have any insecurity with keeping any of our post dive sites secret. It's below us to pouch one of your dive sites if you tell us where it was. Even if you said you know Forest has a sand bar we'd leave you have it as a form of sportsmanship. Jumping another teams spot in an effort to one up them is kind of a dirty thing to do. That's why I said I don't want to win that bad, If I have to be cagey and practice espionage, I don't want to play. I was surprise you thought Terry and I would try and steal your spots. Friends don't do that. There is no scarcity to sites and iron. There is more then any 5 people can dive in a season so I don't see any reason to jump another teams site. Keeping sites you haven't dove a secret is obvious but telling others after is just sharing. No one is looking for lat/log but a basic idea just adds to the fun of who's hunting where and how it's going.

This has nothing to do with you guys crushing us to date. That stings a bit but it's not my first rodeo. I was mostly upset that you tried to dive our backyard after we told you were it was as our Olive branch of trust.

You and I are good to go Steve. Elmo is not in our 51 page plan, and I will tell you with 100% honesty that other than the two dives in Forest Lake, We haven't left Isanti County. We don't have any interest in diving in Elmo unless it is to dive with you guys. We are a lot of things, but we are not hole poachers. You guys can come dive in Isanti County any time you get the notion

That link you found is a match for Elmo. It was 20 feet from our hole. How many links like that can exist for you to find one 3 weeks after Terry and I. I'll believe you for now but next time I'm in Elmo, that link better be there!  :

Good idea! Much better than only using 1 fin or having a hand tied behind the back!  ;D ;D

I think I know who elmo is now. Sorry for the confusion. Poaching holes would be bad karma 
When you guys come dive with us I will even cook some grouper sandwiches on the ice as a further extension of the olive branch  8)

[arcFlash]

I already know your booked into helping out at an event and can't dive.

                      I'm just glad that Nate and John's hickory switch has turned into an olive branch!
                     When I was a kid a friend of mine and I would go down into Fort Snelling State Park in the winter and try to push down dead trees, thinking we were doing good in making room for a new tree to start growing, one started to fall and a big branch broke off and hit me on the head, almost knocked me out, so I think cancelling the karma lesson I was supposed to learn.
                      Nate could I bring some blackened seasoning for my grouper?

[Shooter]

ROTFLMAO  ;D
Blackened seasoning usually works best when the fillets are grilled. I have been known to mix some in the batter. Since we already bring the turkey cooker to heat up water, it makes it easier to deep fry them. Blackened (Zatarins) grouper on the grill is my favorite!
