Today started off pretty usual with Tom and I going out to get tiles outside Cook's. When we got back we spent some time processing them and by the time we finished that it was time for lunch. Today we decided to have a bbq for lunch because it is Jessica's birthday. Russ and Sally bought hamburgers and buns and we all brought other dishes to have. It was fun to take a break like that together in the middle of the day. The hamburgers were awesome and we had plenty to eat for everyone. Of course we also had some Grill Party sausages which have some kind of mystery meat in them and we have at every bbq because they are really cheap and greasy. After lunch, I worked on some instruments for a bit and then went and dove Gump Reef with Stephanie to do damselfish recruit surveys. It was really cool to dive Gump because I hardly ever do it. I got a picture of an upside down jellyfish that was burrowed in the sand on Gump and was surprised by how clear the picture. By the time I got done with that it was clean-up time and we all got ready to go to the Hilton for drinks. It was so nice there. I have always seen the bungalows as we pass by but the resort itself looks incredible. The view out onto the ocean for sunset was awesome and I managed to get some good photos. The drinks of course were really expensive but it was worth it to go there and check it out. After we got back at around 7 pm I had to help my food group, who hadn't gone to the Hilton since they had work to do, to cook up the rest of our meal. We made rib eye steaks from a slab of meat which I had to cut myself. As sides we had a salad and a special potato dish that reminded me of scalloped potatoes. It turned out really well and everyone seemed to enjoy the dinner. Afterwards we hung out and had a cake for Jessica's birthday, played some cards, and then went off to bed. Time for sleep. Until later.
