Ms. Normal... Here I am...

In full gear: Zeo, Quattro Fx, with an accelerometer velco'ed to my head and a "Darkside" evil glare (LOL!)

There's stuff on Zeo and the accelerometer. BasementDwellingGeek turned me on to the accelerometer. He and I, amongst other data geeks here, are like birds of a feather.

Thanks for playing! Another good sport I see! YAY!! Does your mask make you feel confined with 4 points on it? I feel panicky just thinking of myself in one like that!!

I have to mouth breath at times, when I lay down sometime my sinuses swell shut. This seemed a minimalist mask. I'm fully used to it. It's weakness is leaks near the corners of the eyes, but I use a mask liner I made which helps me not care about the leaks. I'm wearing the liner in the pic.

If you are thinking of trying the Bella Loops for the Swift FX make sure they give you the whole package. The whole package comes with the traditional over the head headgear. It also should come with 3 sizes of nasal pillows.
I think you would even like the traditional headgear over the Opus headgear. The Bella loops are cool though. Pretty much feels like nothing on the face. Make sure when you fit them that you lay down because the weight of the hose if you are sitting up alters the fit just a bit. What might seem just right sitting up may be too tight when laying down. Very minor changes can make a huge different with the Bella Loops. It took me about 3 nights to get it "just right". They can be worn ridiculously loose and still maintain a good seal.

OK, Max, which is the real you -- the guy in the headgear, or the guy in your avatar?

Max, no wonder you can't sleep!!
Glad you are breathing though!

I am one in the same. The avatar is a while ago, but I weigh exactly the same (buffs nails, tosses hair back pompously).

I'm thoroughly enjoying all the pics, though I confess I've met my exposure quota with my PLMD video. lol

P.S... In my avatar, I, Max Darkside, came out of my secret underground lair beneath a false volcano on an (unnamed, secret) tropical island to frequent a beach and get another Pina Colada as my minions had failed to order the necessary pineapple juice and cream of coconut replenishments (and were vanquished to the shark tank, yes, the ones with LASERS on their heads!). Bwahahahahaa....

You're hilarious!

Max, no man has worn shorts that short since the early 1980s. This picture is VERY old.

Damn! BUSTED. SleepingUgly, you are SO spot on. That picture was taken in 1985 on my honeymoon with Mrs. Darkside. LOL ! But, I DO still weigh and pretty much look the same, thanks be to God. A wrinkle here, a touch of grey there.
