Do the winter blues have you feeling blah? Are you ready for some sun, sand, water, and fun? Well… Have you ever tried SCUBA Diving? I can’t promise the sun and the sand, but we can help you with the water and fun! How? Oh gosh, I’m so glad you asked, it makes my job easier!
Welcome to 2020. We are 8 days into the New Year and it’s already been an interesting one. But today, let’s focus on the annual New Year’s Day dive. This dive signifies the new year. It helps ensure we start the new year off correctly.
So this year we started the morning with 11 divers and 19 bystanders (on land). Kind of like 1-1-19 (the date) but it’s the wrong year. I kept hoping someone would quickly come, but by the end, we had 16 divers and 19 on land. The weather wasn’t bad for this time of year. The high came in at 54˚F. The wind was a bit chilly, but that’s pretty decent. If you remember back to 2018 we had windchills right around 0˚F. We called that year off and brought it in at the shop with food.
For the most part, we’ll let the photos do the talking. But yes, every once in a while there will be words. Enjoy!
How many times have you written 2019 since it turned 2020? I have more than I should have so we won’t discuss that. There for a while, we were recapping all the posts of each month and year to date and then somewhere along the way, it stopped. But it is a clean slate when we started 2020. We’ll see if we can do better in 2020.
With the new year, I think we should reflect back on the 2019 posts that brought us up to this point. We’ll look at the top blog posts for December 2019 and then we’ll look at the top blog posts for the 2019 year. Or maybe we’ll do it in the other order. I guess you’ll just have to read to find out what comes first. haha. Continue reading
Today officially marks 1 week until Christmas. I have to admit that it makes me a little sad. In no time flat, our Christmas decorations will be put up for another year. And then we’re stuck with January. I may not be a fan of January.
It is definitely time to make sure you’ve crossed off your Christmas Bucket List. Make sure you get all those sweets baked. Remember, when January comes it is time to go on that horrible four-letter word… diet.
Let’s not focus on January though… Let’s move back a little and talk a little more about Newton County Christmas for Kids. A while back, as in earlier this fall, we discussed Newton County Christmas for Kids, around the time of the Chili Cookoff. (Just because it snowed, it is still considered fall until December 22, 2019, based off google and the internet.)
Newton County Christmas for Kids was founded 9 years ago to make a better Christmas for the kids of Newton County (Missouri). Last year alone the organization was able to help over 800 kids in the Newton County communities + 200 Head Start Kids.
Happy Wednesday Afternoon. If you haven’t noticed, we are a bit late in coming to you… That’s because I did what I do best… procrastinate. Today’s procrastination brought to you by the 2019 Extreme Sports Scuba Christmas Card. Be watching for that to come to a blog post near you on Christmas Eve. Now on to Tank Talk.

Dear Santa,
This year has been an interesting year, to say the least. I’ve tried my best to be good this year. I’ve made it most places with all my clothes, no dead animals, and very few full moons. I was helpful, responsible, and hard-working. I think that deserves a little fun as a reward.
This morning taking the little to school, she asked what I was going to blog about today. I told her I wasn’t sure. So, she proceeded to write today’s blog post:
It is cold outside. That means that winter is coming. Thanksgiving and Christmas too. You need to make sure that you dress properly. Also, you need to get ready for the cold weather. Cold weather brings snow. Snow is fun.
So, there you have it, folks, winter is coming. And apparently, in the eyes of a 5-year-old, winter is fun, I think.
