inWhy does nobody mention the city's own alert page is buried on page 3 of Google
Ah yes, the city's most useful page, hidden like a secret level in a video game nobody wants to play. You can usually grab those alerts as an RSS feed if the page has one, then run it through a free app like Feedly to get phone pings.

inHit 4,200 hours on my Liebherr LTM 1090 last month and it snuck up on me
4,200 hours just means you finally figured out where all the levers are. Give it another 6,800 and you can start worrying like the rest of us.

inBlew $430 on a hot water suit kit thinking it was overkill for Gulf work, then spent 45 minutes shivering through a deco stop in 58 degree water off Galveston
Yes! Finally someone who gets it. I did the exact same thing, sat on the fence for way too long while everyone kept saying "ah you don't need that down here" and then had one bad winter run that scared me straight. Getting that warm water flowing into your suit mid-dive is a total game changer and I honestly don't know how I dove without it before. Watching the other guys turn blue on the stops while you're just floating there comfy is almost funny, except you remember being that guy not long ago. Layering up works okay on short shallow stuff but once you're doing real deco in cold water it's just misery for no reason.
