The drink and a larger screwdriver did the trick. Now that the easy stuff is done I'm going to have to tackle the Zaino box which you made me buy!

Wheel Caps in Obsidian
Had these installed this AM. Discount Tire indicated they would not fool with the install without taking off the wheel. He said if I did not want the old ones I could punch a hole in it and then pry it out. I opted for the $20 remove the wheel method. Not a startling difference but I do like them better than the all chrome OEM's.
The blue in the first one is reflection from the sky and the rims are dirty..

Wheel caps look great, NJ. I did a comparison with your old wheel and now you definitely have more of a subtle bling factor.
I need to stop drooling over your pics since I have ruined all my laptops now.

Are you kidding. Why do you think all those vintage cars fron AZ and NV bring such a premium. It's a corosion free zone.
NJ after looking at all your photos, I think you are now MDR (master of dynamic range). I'm afraid my 5 year old technology S2 Pro is about to embark on it's final journey to Belize. It is fitting since it's maiden journey was on the same Belize Aggressor III in 2002. It was not just one small step for man, it was a giant leap for mankind, but that has came and gone and now it is time to move on. I have a D300 itch and I think it will get scatched in '08.

For me its just little spots from water, but I still have to scrub them off after going through the car wash. I know this sounds horrible to do, but I would try one of those Magic Erasers. It did wonders for me.

I am not obsessed but like them clean before one of our friendly forum members makes me aware of the fact they are dirty...:-)

Looks great NJ. I like mine also.
I also installed the front/rear headlight/taillight chrome trim (I know pics!). The front (headlights) didn't line up perfectly and so I took them off and did again. Now the corners don't stick perfectly and I need to buy some adhesive. I shouldn't have done the install in 35 degrees either but I couldn't wait until spring. All in all I am glad I did this trim. Once I get the adhesive on the corners, they will be perfect.

Well Santa was good to me affording another opportunity to dive with my lifelong dive buddy.
We met old friends like Merle from Manhattan
.........and new friends like Pat the dentist from Anchorage
and Nick from UK, Brooks from DC
......... and old friends met new friends like Merle and this Hawksbill Turtle
Christmas morning brought us to the famous "Great Blue Hole", made famous by Jaques Custeau in the early 70's. He dynamited two passages into it and these passages are still used to this day to access this natural wonder. It is a cavern who's dome collapsed near the end of the ice age and filled with water. It is nearly 3000 feet across it and 480 feet deep.
Here is Kristen at 146 feet below the surface, swimming through the stalagtities.
You can see the rest of the photos at Belize Aggressor III - December 2007
I only hope that each and every one of you was blessed in some way for the holidays, as we were.

Thanks everyone. Jack, I wouldn't say "mastered", but coming from a talent like you, I will take that as a compliment.
The camera is a Fuji S2 Pro, which is a two generations back DSLR. It has Fuji's Super CCD sensor but is built in a Nikon body. It was the only DSLR at the time (2002) that was compatible with underwater strobes. However, 200 dives later, it may be time to upgrade. I need (want) more megs but it will have to be a Nikon since I am heavily invested in their glass.
