Hello fellow DU Under Sea BP ROV C-L-U-B-bers! As most of you know, I left the world behind early Friday afternoon to go a family reunion. It was fun but it was crazy hot here in Tejas! I feel guilty when I say that I didn't really think about the oil gusher all weekend. We camped with my brother-in-law and his family (boy how I have complained about his teabagger views in previous posts here on DU!) and we both knew that to keep the peace this weekend, there should be no political or current events discussion. So, we agreed to avoid any conversation that could result in an early pack-up for home. Anyways, I had a good time and now it's time to get back to reality. And, reality is always much clearer as being the bitch it is after you've taken some time off from it.

Here we are, thread #24. I did a lot of lurking last week trying to actually get some work done in another window. I figured it was my turn to finally start one of these threads and so here it is. And away we go....

HALT! GO NO FARTHER! DO NOT PROCEED if you have not viewed this video. It is an excellent explanation of the process, the stage it's in now, and answers many questions.
