This weekend looks promising.

| | | I have to ask Meech, were you nervous going in the water in the beginning? I have the 1200 and last summer it must have taken me 15 minutes to submerge it and worried the whole time. Later in the day when all was working well, I was walking on air. Can stay in the pool with my youngest and not have to go through hassle of disconnect. Just curious if anyone else was worried in the beginning about it being waterproof.

| | Actually, Kim, I've yet to put either my Deltec or my Animas in the water....  (I know, I'm being chicken...lol). Hopefully, I'll go swimming (at least some) this summer, so maybe then, I'll dunk my pump(s).

| | I was very nervous, but firgured that I better go ahead and try otherwise, what's the point of having a waterproof pump if you don't stick it in the water. Kinda like all these people that buy 4 wheel drive vehicles and never use it! Don't get me wrong, those of you who live out in the middle of nowhere; if I lived there, I'd have a 4x4. I just don't get the soccermoms that drive their kiddies to school and use the 4x4 stick shift to hang their Prada handbag from. I own 2 SUVs neither one is a 4x4 because, I simply don't need it. On the flip side, I do go to the beach a lot and this waterproof pump is awesome!
Have I rambled enough?

I wonder about this on occasion myself. I used to do a lot of road bicycling before I took up running and I was constantly getting tossed about by the wake turbulence from those @#$% Suburbans...and 99% of the time they were carrying one lone passenger. Plus, my last house was on a road with a private school and every morning a soccer mom in a Hummer would drive past to drop off her kids.  |

| | | Those new H2s really make me sick! I absolutely adore the H1 Hummer based on the military HUMV. Very sparse, beefy, and Diesel!!!! Just what it needs to be. It's truly the ultimate SUV. The H1 gets about 14/18 city/hwy for gas mileage. Not bad for something that's classified as essentially a 1-1/2 ton truck. They won't list the mileage of the of either, but I'll bet the H2 gets less than 6 in he city. Now as for this, pansy-A**ed ,soccermom driving thing they call the H2; shame on AM General and GM. They've cow towed to the all mighty dollar and made a giagantic, gas-guzzling monster that is both costly in price and for the envirnment and it's just darned ulgy to boot!
