So my family took me out last night to celebrate my one year mark. They took me to Hodad's in Ocean Beach and ... well ... the place is hard to describe unless you know the beach / surf culture. It is a Burger Dive which was featured on Triple D. Anyway the place rocks and they tout the greatest burgers in the world. Well maybe ... but the place Guido was awesome for certain. The best part of the night was when they all lifted their burgers and saluted my one year dip free. Now no one can say I don't have one great family.

For those of you out there just getting started hang in there bros and sis' because it gets better day by day
Anyplace that has 3 wines... "Red, white, pink" on the menu gets a thumbs up on the 3D rating. Those onion rings are making me drool.

Dude, the post that you typed... Just the vision of your family showing their pride in such a symbolic manner... That by itself makes all of the bulldhit you went through worth it. And that is just the icing in the cake! Proud as hell to quit with you!

I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

So I live in San Diego County and I have been here since the 80's. Yesterday a man who meant a lot to the City and to San Diego Sports died from salivary cancer. Mr. Tony Gwynn who exactly may age 54 years old died because he chewed tobacco. This really hits home and I am so glad that I quit dipping 308 days ago. My family thanked me again yesterday for quitting. It just brings it all heart when someone you looked up to and respected dies like that. I can remember 15 years ago taking my family to spring training to see the Padre's and my youngest daughter who was 5 at the time was a huge Tony Gwynn fan. I had her on my shoulders when the team finished practicing and I walked over to the crowd to get her an autograph. Tony seeing me with my girl in the back of the crowd waiting my turn stopped signing and pointed to me and had me come up front where he signed our program. He told everyone that this is what it is all about, family and the young fans. I will never forget all that Tony meant to the city of San Diego. And I will add this to the reasons I stay quit.
It is great to celebrate Independence Day to celebrate this wonderful country I was born in and have lived in most of my life, the country that I proudly served for 20 years. and it is great to be celebrating my 325th day of independence from that damn Nic Bitch. Almost a year brothers and sisters. It is TOTALLY AWESOME! LOL Keep hanging in there BROS. Hang strong
Well done Bear, I thank you for your service and congratulate you on what you have accomplished here so far.

You should feel a huge sense of pride for getting to where you are, as there are few others that have reached these heights. just never forget where you have come from, and never forget how you got here.

will continue this side by side with you....
Skydivers rule!!! Proud to quit with you sir!
I am proud of what I have done, but I am much prouder of what my fellow Sky Divers have done. We still have a few of us hanging on
