hi everyone i have been pretty busy at school. i made the deans list again. i think i have decided to change my coursework at school. rather then becoming a underwater medic i am going to become a non destructive tester. this will provide me with more job oppertunities in colorado and also lots more money. school is good. i am now an employee of the mormans, i work for hollywood video which is owned by mormans. it is sweet. anyway i am good. i am in love with the best person ever and i can’t wait to be back home. i am 2 weeks away from being halfway done with school. sarah i love you so much. dad happy fathers day. i love everyone. dylan

FUN TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello. I had a fun week this last week. It all started Monday. I went to welding school. It was fun, I got to cut with an oxy- acetelyn torch (bring on the safes) and I got to work on my bead with 7018 rod. When I got home from welding I though it would be fun to play a little basketball. Randy (my roommate) and I played 4 games one on one. I won the last one. Then my other roommate Josh and my friend from school Waylon came out and we played Randy and I vs. Waylon and Josh. Randy and I won. Then a couple of High school students came out and we played 3v3. During this game I succeeded in rolling my right ankle. It sucked. I then soaked my ankle in the pool for 15min and then the hot tub for 15min for about 2 hours. The next day I got up and went to school. I explained to the MASTER DIVER that I had hurt my ankle so he sent me to the local free clinic to get an x-ray. 2 hours later I got to see a doctor. He looked at my ankle for about 5 seconds and then sent me back to the waiting room for 30 more minutes to wait for an x ray. After that he looked at my x ray said I was fine and sent me on my way. Since I couldn’t drive I had gotten a ride from one of my classmates, which meant that I had to wait for my ride to come back and pick me up. That took another 45 min. When I got back to school I had to get in my wetsuit and in the water to make up for lost dive time. I did a dive in the band mask and did pneumo breathing. That means that your air is cut off and so you have to stuff your pneumo hose (a hose used to gauge depth using air pressure) in to your helmet. You say, ?Diver lost primary shoot the pneumo?. You then stuff it up into your helmet and breathe. After I did it on the band mask I had to surface and go straight to the superlite 17b. Oh did I mention that you have to pneumo breath on you r stomach on your back and upside-down. When you get upside down water rushes into your helmet, which sure is fun. I realize that this doesn?t sound to bad but just wait. On weds I just kind of chilled and let my footrest. On Thursday I went to school and we had to do what are called ditch and dons. This means that you go under water wearing a helmet and then take it off and put it back on three times in ten minutes. It is fun, really. I was the first person to go in on the superlite 17b. It kicked my butt. I couldn?t do it I was in the water for 10 min and I got it off three times and on two times, doh! The next helmet is the band mask; it is simple because it is a soft hat. You just rip it off and force it back on I did it in about 3 minutes. Then I moved to the miller. The miller is a big brass hat. It is heavy, as in 1\5 of my body weight. (I might have exaggerated earlier when I said it weighed 60 but never mind.) It has a neoprene and brass neck dam. The helmet itself has two cams, one on each side, you have to align the neck dam and then cam it up. It is hard on the surface but is cake underwater. It took me 5 min. I then got to go back to the superlite and try it one more time. It took me 4 min this time. I then celebrated by doing a flip under water and yelling a lot. Thursday night I went home and went to sleep. I woke up late on Friday. That was my week. I got an A in my class and will remain on the dean?s list for another class. My next class will be the sat barge where class start at 2:30 am on Tuesday and 1:30 on Thursday Sweet. I had a lot of fun this week. I love you Sarah and Harper and mom and dad and everyone else. Peace out?. Heehee. Pictures to come.

This is a kirby morgan
This is a kirby morgan bandmask 18b. on last thursday in my class we were required to breathe from just the shell of the mask. the shell is the yellow part of the mask. the trick with this is that there is no seal over your mouth so you have to sip the air out of a pocket you create. you have to go under and do this for 10 minutes. they have three tanks and one person in each tank. the first three people that went where unable to do it. since I was part of the next group i started to get a little nervous. when my turn came i suited up with my 28 lbs of weught and my steel toed bottom boots. i was in my wetsuit and had the shell in hand. as i walked down the later the water started to creep up my wetsuit. talk about cold. really really cold. i placed my head all the way underwater to get used to the frigid water. i then test breathed the shell, it was easy. i then headed to the bottom of the tank. a whole 9 ft of water. once you reach the bottom you have to move to the viewport in the tank so master diver bob cave can watch you brethe. every two breathes you have to pull the mask away from your face and number off 5 on your hand. it was fun. i started taking the mask off and doing either a front or back flips instead of counting. this is an exercise that simulates what you have to do if your mask blows off of your face. in the afternoon we did shell buddy breathing which was two people sharing one shell underwater. it was fun two breathes and pass, repeat. it was really fun. on tuesday i think we are going to start using the full masks including the kirby morgan superlight 17 and 27, kmb 18b and the miller. all of hose are demand hats. this means that you get air when you inhale and so it uses less air and is more efficient. the other type is freeflow, ex. desco or mark v. in free flow the air just constantly flows through the helmet. the demand hats have what is called an oral nasel mask that is like what fighter pilots use to breathe at high altitudes. anyway that was thurs. love dylan
p.s. sarah your pretty and i love you.

I think that my site
I think that my site will get cooler. I am going to add a paypal donation site as well as a book review site. (thanx Harper) I am hopeing to review all the books I have been reading. On a school note i made deans list again. I am doing good exceot for the fact that i miss everybody and i wish i was home. i have a weird story. last friday morning i woke up and my left pinky was numb. I just thought that it was asleep and would be fine. It is still numb. I asked one of the medical people at my school and they said that i had probably just pinched a nerve and to give it about a week to get better. so if i still have a numb pinky on fri. off it comes i’ll just hack it right off. Or i’ll just go to the doctor. I hope it is okay. I have also started exerciseing regularly. I run or swim everyday. if i run i do it for about 30 mins and if i swim i swim about 10 laps. I also have been doing push ups and situps in hopes of becoming the next action hero in movies. heehee. that would be sweet. I was in downtown long beach today and they were blocking of a whole street and they had lights set up and cameras and dressing rooms. I can only assume they are filming a movie. so of course i pretended that i was with the company and tried to sneak on to the set. i didn’t make it and I didn’t even see anybody famous. sad day mr bill. I hope everyone is doing okay and i am sorry that i haven’t poasted recently. i am doing good. Sarah you are the most beautiful girl on the whole planet and I love you so much. mom and dad i miss you guys alot. school is good. mom check your email. Harper thx for your help. Love to everyone. peace……………………….heehee

Bob is a really nice man who knows what the fk he is talking about. Oh and if you say Fk in front of him you have to do 20 pushups. its funny. This class is about diving mechanics and practical aplication of our knowledge gained thus far. I think it is interesting because it means in 3 more class days i’ll be getting in the water. it is so cool. my phone is starting to die. the battery charge is only holding for about 1 hour now it sux. i am looking at new phones but they cost money so please pay pal me money. harper can you set up paypal on my sight so people can donate me money for a new phone thanx. any way. you guys should all have a good couple of days and i’ll be back with a nother update of my school. oh by the way i made the deans list again. doing the happy dance, doing the happy dance. woohoo.

Today was sweet. I went
Today was sweet. I went to school today and we learned about a phenomenom called Delta P. Delta P is a suction created by a having two or more bodies of water connected by a tube or pipe. When the bodies of water are of inequal depths then there is a suction force equal to the surface area of the hole times the difference in depth times .445 if sea water or .436 if fresh water.(.445 is the weight of 1 foot of sea water in pounds per square inch, .436 is… figure it out.) If your arm was to get sucked into a hole 10 inches in diameter and there was a depth difference of 50 FSW (feet sea water) getting your arm out would be equal to lifting up 1760 lbs with one hand. Thats like a subaru WRX. We watched a video on it and they had cool fottage of a Crab the size of my head being sucked into a crack the size of the scroll bar on the side of your screen. (–>) It showed it getting stuck and then half was sucked in and then the rest was sucked in. Sweet. Sad but Sweet. Also this afternoon I got to do what is called a modified treatment table 6a (the school calls it the narc dive). This consists of going down to 165 FSW (see above) at 75fpm (Feet per minute). When you reach this depth breathing air the partial pressure of Nitrogen is increased about six times. This makes you drunk or narc’d. This is because Nitrogen has an adverse affect on your nervous system in the same way that alchohal does. This is known as nitrogen narcosis. It is fun. We stayed down fo about 10 mins and I have never laughed harder in my life. When we are at the surface they make us do one of those puzzles were you put the shapes inside of the proper shaped hole. It took me 16 secs on the surface and 26 secs on the bottom. Anyway take notes quiz next post. I love you Sarah. bye everyone

Hello everyone, How are you
Hello everyone,
How are you doing. Me I am sweet. I have almost completed my southpark collection. it was scary for a while but now it is good. I am sorry to say that i can’t have them all but i will someday. I hope everyone is well and i hope you are all showering regularly. I am annoyed at school right now because my teacher dosen’t know what he is talking about and he needs help to teach all the time. However I am getting an A so i don’t really care. I had to do 20 pushups yesterday because I am a smart ass and that sucked. I am buff now but it still sucked. I just sit around all the time and play gta3. don’t worry harper yours is coming. Sarah your my everything. thats all. goodbye

Hello How Are You Today
Hi everyone,
Its me. Thank you very much for all you comments. I am very happy. Hope everyone is doing fine. School is good, it is boring but very fun. Yesterday I got to go inside a hyperbaric chamber and be pressurized down to 40 feet of sea water. While there I got to spend 20 minutes on 100% oxygen. It was pretty cool. I am very very very happy right now. I am engaged to the most beutiful person in the world and I love it. Sarah is the love of my life. I wish that I could see her every day but alas not for another 10 months. I am going home to visit in April which is cool. I am on the Deans list still which is cool. I hope to stay on it all through school. Alright thats enough. Everyone have a nice day.

Hi everyone
Hi again its me. I’ve been busy lately streetperforming. i found a couple of good places to perform at and am having fun. school is good. we did what is called the darth Vader project. we had to place 7 pieces of pipe, each piece weighs about 200lbs, following a diagram. my team got it done in 40mins (a record time) but then are teacher was able to loosen two of our bolts by hand which resulted in a 10min penelty. are total time was 50 mins which was still faster then the other 4 teams from my class. woohoo. next weekend sarah comes out and i get to see her for a whole week yippee!!

It finally works
Hey everyone my log finally works. Sweet!! I am in California in case you didn’t know. I am going to dive school at the College of Oceaneering, I am studying to be an advanced hyperbaric technician and plan to work in a hospital setting. Right now I am in a class called rigging or bosuns skills. Basiclally it is a class that teaches about knot tying and forklift driving, as well as other useful skill if you were on a boat. My last class was called physics and physiology and it covered the dangers of commercial divers and the different kinds of barotrauma (trauma caused by great pressures). My teacher for that was Scott Cassell who is a crazy diver who I think is pretty cool. He dives and films dangerous animals and gets attacked by them. Sweet!! My teacher for Rigging is Scott Young. He is pretty cool, He is a pretty gruff old seaman. He has also done some pretty crazy stuff. I go to school on tues and thurs and work mon, weds and fri. On weekends I am planning on doing some street performing in venice beach. This weekend I am going home to visit family and friends and to celebrate my 21st birthday. Yipee!! Hey Sarah I Love You A Lot!!!. Anyway check back often I’ll try to update this at least once a week. email me at dylan@dylanreed.org. thanks.
