steveorino 7 #1 November 5, 2007 It had been a long day taking tandems up. I noticed Stuby, the vidiot, had left his Ipod in the plane. I thought I'd listen to a few tunes on the way up. Stuby has an eclectic taste. I mean Pantera & Dolly Parton. I noticed he had Marilyn Manson as well. Being an old guy I haven't listened to any of his stuff so I thought I'd listen to his song, "Beautiful People" or something like that. It started out cool ... great drums! Then I glanced at my Viso altimeter. It read 666! That's it! I took the ear buds out and decided I'd only listen to church choir music the rest of the day. Totatly true story! steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are some close peeps of mine that are beginning to think that I am back~sliding in my life and duties that they are not use to seeing and or have not seen in 20 some years....(that second puberty thang) but I can assure all of us, that I will be fine.... NOW, at 45yoa and with 82, 83 jumps, if I make it to that six hundreth and sixty fifth jump I wil make sure that I jot the next one down like you PJ.... :) thanks for the heads up! I don't think that I am backsliding in life, its just that my kids are almost gone from the nest and I am/have been HAVING FUN that I have missed these past few years....

popsjumper 2 #5 November 5, 2007 We had a visiting plane here for a short while (fortunately for me it was a short while). The plane, a C-182B, had tail number N2666G. We jumped "into hell"...get it? I jumped it just once to thumb my nose at it and got away with it...almost. It did get a little of my blood but I escaped with minor injuries. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since they are gone I have more "disposable" income. It has been spent on skydiving, Harleys, Corvettes, and trips to Cancun. I love being an "old" man!

dannydan 5 #9 November 13, 2007 I hate computers unless they operate correctly....newayzz, I am actually haveing a wonderful time at this age with a few minor glitches in certain areas, but overall it has REALLY been fun over these past cpl of yrs... And my KIDS!!! Hell what can I say, WE (Ellie and Molly) are having LOADS of fun... This past year EllieBoo and I have been to at least 10+ ROCKnROLL concerts renting cars and spending buttloads of CASH and NOT looking back.. and the CONSUMPTION of TeQuiLLA OMFG!!!. Molly does NOT want to goto to concerts, SHE wants to do shopping trips... I informed Her that our first stop will be for me and a nice pair of orthopedic shoes for Her OLD MAN!!! ;) Have I drummed up some special shopping trips for Her!!! Woo FrIcKeN Hoo!! Its a long story of how all this has come about... Neway, I am not about to kick them out or nethang when they are ADULTS, I wouldn't do that, thay can hang around all they want as long as they pitch in SOME.... But hopefully these "glitches" will work themselves out and as always hopefully for the better for ALL involved. Also this is the BEST and most CONFIDENT year of jumpin I have ever had, just wish I started when I was Ellies age.... Guess I will just have to live IT through Her!!!!____________ bssl : DD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #11 November 13, 2007 What I can't understand is what the hell did Dita Von Teese ever see in Marilyn Manson???
