OK, I dropped the plastic furling drum (massive and heavy plastic
part) from my CDI roller furling in the water beside my boat at the
dock. *Water visibility is very poor and it is kinda cold although I
MIGHT be able to bear it. *Water depth is 10-12'. *I can locate the
drum with my very long boat hook but could not get it with a net tied
to boat hook or by using a metal loop and really cannot even tell how
it is oriented. *It is literally only 1' out from my finger pier
straight down. *A diver says he can get it next month although he
already tried but he looked in the wrong place (he didnt listen to my
directions well). *ANY ideas to get it sooner? *I am sure I will end
up going in the water and diving fro it but really dont want too. *I
hate diving deep cuz I cannot relieve the pressure in my ears.

keep probing for the part in case it drifts
get a wet suit for the kid at the local good will, a snorkle mask new,
and send him or her on down put the boat hook on the part and let the
kid follow it to the bottom pick up the part and bring it back up. you
know where it is and the diver does not have to see it to grab it.
wait for low tide and the depth will be less.

I can still see the shocked look on that center gondola guy's face
around his heavy beard and bulging muscles as the deck split under him,
sending him into the Naples Harbor, which was like an open sewer full of
floating garbage our divers just hated.

Very enjoyable, thanks for posting it.

This sounds like it could be solved with a teenager and twenty bucks.

On a no-win, no-fee basis, of course.

I belive the correct phrase is: NO CURE NO PAY. A damn good business
plan.

Excellent idea. I have argued the same for years when it comes to the
right to keep and bare arms as the constitution originally intended:
All firearms are banned EXCEPT smooth bore flint locks.
Now that is one I would support!
Idont know my firearm history that well. Maybe cap and ball is more
accurate, yes?

Arms can mean any arms. Swords, for example. Bows and arrows, cudgels. Note
it does not say anything specifically about firearms. Arms include any and
all arms up to and including future arms. The key word, though is "bear." To
bear is to carry. This means you have no right to cannons, rockets, tanks,
battleships, etc. Get it?

If the Constitution is written in stone, on what substrate do we find the
Amendments?

Kudos!!!

If he likes to swim, throw a ball in the water a bit off the pier.
He'll distract any gators while you dive in.

Ah yes, the old live bait trick.

Your ignorance is showing. Duh!

Amendments 1-10 are called the Bill of Rights. They were part of the
Constitution when it was ratified.

Amendments 11-27 were created thereafter ACCORDING TO THE RULES SET FORTH IN
THE CONSTITUTION.

The existence of amendments, in no way, indicates a living, breathing
Constitution.

Ugly, ignorant Americans. It's a disgrace! Most don't even know their own
history.
