    VFR=Visual Flight Reference as opposed to IFR or instrument flight reference. I highly concur with JP about needing less emphasis on instrument reliance in skydiving. Instrument reliance can diminish the visual skills that will keep you alive to jump another day.

    Listen to that little voice that tells you to wait. It is better to underestimate your level of skill slightly than to overestimate it and suffer the consequences. Do not let anyone flatter or guilt you into doing something you are not comfortable with.

    That injury should be treated the same as "road rash" from a fall on the asphalt. Have it scrubbed clean with betadine as soon as possible, preferrably the same day you get the wound. You may be able to do it yourself, but I have found it easier to bite down on a towel while someone else scrubs out the dirt. I have 6 streetbike accidents to my credit, so I am familiar with the drill for this in ER. (I was once 23 and bullet proof)

    How about your avatar? I mean, what are you doing?? Did you slip while stomping out a flaming bag of dog poo? Did you fart too close to the campfire?

    I would have to agree with you on this one. Speed. Even with a not so great pic it must be a Northern Water Snake based on range and body morphology. You can also ask here http://forums.kingsnake.com/forum.php?catid=63 Be sure to state location as well as post the pic.

    I would probably go with the jump ticket prices for the memorial day boogie. Either way, let me know where you are going to be so we can get some jumps together. (my reserve is current this time )

    Ask some of your friendy neighborhood freeflyers to take you on a horny gorilla. It is a good sit jump for a freefly newbie

    No problem, no offense

    Very nice animals you have. burms are great, but I just dont have the room for such a big snake. Ditto for the B.c.c.

    The Boas aren't albino.... but hypomelanistic, which is reduced black pigment. It is an identifying trait of the Hog island Boa

    Gorgeous dogs you have there. I'll bet they eat almost as much as Mike's horses

    They are quite friendly, for a reptile anyway. They are never aggressive toward people and very curious.

    Nice Ball Python... how big is it currently?

    Last night was feeding night, so I took some pics of my Hog Island Boas. I am surprised that these are not more popular as pets. They are an island subspecies and have evolved into a dwarfed size due to change in food supply. The females top out at 6 feet compared to their mainland cousins that can easily reach 12. The males are even smaller than the females at about 4 foot. They have a very mellow temperament due to no predation on these islands.

    You hit the nail right on the head there. Don't forget the attitude of the dealer principal....."Any idiot can fix a car" Oh well.... I see it as job security

    Ah, the days of (relatively) simple auto transmissions! It seems the skill level of today's average tech has not kept pace with the latest technology.

    We should get together and swap stories someday.....I provide tech support to Nissan and Infiniti Technicians in the dealerships. You folks would be shocked to hear about the unskilled morons out there working on your cars

    It even has a holster shaped sheath. I can try to get a pic of it tomorrow.

    This is not a picture of the one in my posession.... I am at work and the knife is in my gun safe. It is one of my favorites and fits easily in a pocket. It is a Kershaw 22cal, evidently now a collector item

    My life is worth the best reserve money can buy.... how about yours?
