Okay, who is responsible for turning on the Air Conditioner outside… Brrrrr. Yesterday morning, I thought I was going to freeze if I didn’t blow away! Dang. Today I looked at the weather forecast… A high of 70, a low of 50. Not terrible, especially this time of year. Tomorrow looks a little better in one aspect and a lot worse in another. Huh? High 78 = GOOD! Low… 38. Friday’s low 32. Saturday’s low… a whopping 29. Holy COW! I guess we are approaching the end of October and moving into November. Your Halloween forecast is a high 76 and a low 59.

I’m just proving I can be a meteorologist. If I get it wrong, you can’t be mad at me. Haha. Just kidding… I think. We had a busy weekend and I hope you were able to join us. Saturday night was the Newton County Christmas for Kids 5^th Annual Chili Cookoff. It was a load of fun. The weather acted like it was going to be terrible, but it didn’t hit until around 11 pm, after we were all said and done.

Sunday was the 20^th Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving. That storm that blew through Saturday night brought a cold front. It was supposed to be clear and sunny on Sunday but at the lake, the weather had different ideas. We’d be lucky if we hit 60˚F and it drizzled most of the time. Just as we were packing up, the sun decided to come out and warm up a few degrees.

So that’s what’s been happening around here… how have you been?

Today we’re going to focus on a product that is near and dear to my heart… The Twin Jet Fin. Why near and dear to my heart? Well, I used yellow ones for Scuba classes/certification check out dives. My first ones were pink. Then I switched to black. Yes, I have dove with other ones but these are my go-to of choice. But I’m not the only one… When you go on dive trips, you’ll probably notice people do things to make theirs stand out to them. Mine have Christmas colors on them because well, I like Christmas… haha. But let’s not focus on me and let’s focus on the Twin Jet Fin.

Hi, guys and gals. Happy Wednesday. Let’s take care of some housekeeping issues up front… Front and center! Aye Aye captain!

1. Saturday is the 5^th annual Chili Cookoff.

   • Bring your best Non-Chili to enter into the contest. There will be prizes for People’s Choice.
   • Here are the rule’s, familiarize yourself with them, please!
     
   • There’s also a Silent Auction. Bring your Checkbooks full of money, ready to purchase some really awesome items! As we have been receiving them, we’ve been placing them on Facebook. Please be sure to check those out, but remember, NOT everything has been advertised because items will show up the day of the auction! Come prepared!
2. Sunday is the Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving
   • Beaver Lake. Be there or be square. Although it might be hard to be square, so just be there.
   • List of rules, familiarize yourself with them, please!
     
   • Don’t want to carve? No problem, come hang out with us. We’re a lot of fun!!

Now that that is taken care of and out of the way… What’s new. Well…. We are starting to put finishing touches on “Grady’s Cookbook.” I’m so glad those of you who sent in recipes did so that he didn’t have to live on his recipe alone!

Finally, we’re cooking up something extra special and fun for January. I’m not sure if you feel the way I do about that poor month, but after the hype of all the family festivities that happen at the end of the year, January is a cold, dark month, but we have you covered this year. Happy fingers are working on the details now!

Finally, the real reason for today’s post….

I have one question for you today… Have you gotten the chance to go to Cozumel yet? I’m really referring to going to Cozumel on a group trip. Have you? Why do I ask? Well because… If you have, I’m sure you’ve met Cesar. If you haven’t, you really need to meet him. This guy can dive like no one’s business. He has mad diving skills. And swimming skills at that.

Are you confused yet? Okay, stick with me here… So a year ago when we went to Cozumel for the February dive trip, Deb and Grady decided Cesar needed better fins to dive with. When we went back in May for the Grad-Ge-8-Shen trip, we took him a pair of the Camo Jet Fins. I swear, you’d have thought we gave him a million dollars.

Anyone have any guesses on what we’re going to be discussing today? (raises hand, but I guess since I’m writing this post I don’t get a guess….)

Jet Fins.

Not to be confused with Twin Jet fins… those are coming later.
