AggieDave 6 #1 September 20, 2002 My new container is on a UPS van somewhere in Bryan/College Station, it is out for delivery, but its not at my house yet. So here I sit, music cranked, stoked, post whoring and watching out my window for the UPS van... It needs to be here NOW! --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wmw999 2,589 #5 September 20, 2002 I wrote a similar post last Friday, though it was Fedex instead of UPS. You can get a lot of satisfaction from looking at the printout on the screen of the tracking (if UPS offers that). You can even post it for our entertainment (I did). Also, from knowing where their pickup window is, so that you can MEET THE DELIVERY GUY when he gets back... Have fun this weekend. Mine's all packed now, and it was just as good as I'd hoped in my wildest dreams. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outlawphx 1 #14 September 20, 2002 Skydiving is one of the few sports that make me wish I was shorter and smaller....

AggieDave 6 #15 September 20, 2002 QuoteI feel like big jumpers are being discriminated Yeah, no joke dude. So I can average 170 in a sit if I wanted to, I have to *fight* half the time to get to an acceptable fall rate with all of those half sized FFers who might weigh a buck 50 IF they were soaking wet... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
