  1. I would not say this would be the "dumbest" thing I have ever done to impress a girl but it was the most expesive to say the least. I made my first tandem skydive in order to impress a girl. Who would have thought I would get hooked by skydiving and not by the girl. ;-) Blue Skies, Jeremy
  2. VRRRROOOOOM!!!! I have a good mental image now. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  3. PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  4. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I better stop whining before folks really start getting on me. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  5. Going to bed early???!!! How can I when folks are running back and forth getting beer till like 4am? Besides, it is still cold outside. Summer time is getting closer and I will be tenting it then. As for staying up late, I need lots of encouragement and a reason to stay up late. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  6. Sam, you never camp out with us anyway. You always go out and sleep in your truck with Mollie. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  7. I was going to look at the Coast Gaurd's website and this is kinda odd. Check for yourself. http://www.gocoastgaurd.com Blue Skies, Jeremy
  8. Is that the "RED" teletubby in the background??? Those guys are cool. They live in a bomb shelter from World War II. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  9. I am doing a study on what the prefered brand of cigarettes is for a certain group of people. So I chose to poll skydivers. :-) I am not doing this for research for the smoking industry, I am doing this for my own studys. Thanks. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  10. lol! Yeah, James made a few comments about her wearing knee pads. ;-) Blue Skies, Jeremy
  11. Thanks for the information. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  12. Has anyone noticed pain in their knees or arthoritis in their knees from years of packing? I pack on carpet which is laid out on the hanger floor. After a full day of jumping and packing and packing other folks rigs, I start to really have some pain in my knees that lasts a couple of days. Just wondering if this is something else that folks have trouble with? Blue Skies, Jeremy
  13. I have had some weird, very weird skydiving dreams. All of them result in me waking up on the runway with folks all around me talking. I usually wake up at that point. I think I might be dead in the dreams. Usually happens from a complete total mal. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  14. I made the mistake of "wear" one of those disposible camera that have the big green rubber band on it. I put it over my left arm and it beat the ever living snot outta me in free fall. Note to self: Never do that again. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  15. I have a small grass strip community place down the road. Less than 1/4 of a mile. I have been going up there and talking with different ultra-light pilots and all their answers are the same. "I have no idea what the plane will do when you take 190 pounds off of it in flight." Myself, I have only done 1 ultra-light jump and it was pretty cool. I have no idea what to tell them after they say that. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  16. The gas prices for Meridian, MS where I live ranges between $1.59-$1.62. I hate paying high gas prices! Blue Skies, Jeremy
  17. Dang!! I scored 35. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  18. OK, my deal is that the leg straps need a bit more length added to them. During the winter, it gets a bit hard to put this thing on. Any ideas on what type of rigger would need to do this? Or should this be a manufacturer thing. Oh yeah, it is a Javelin container. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  19. I am really considering having some B-12 snaps put on my current rig. Are there any downsides to adding them to a rig that did not have them on there to begin with? Also, could a normal rigger do this or does it need to be sent to the manufacturer? Blue Skies, Jeremy
  20. I smoke "stuff" too. ;-) Blue Skies, Jeremy
  21. I still have a working Colecovision console with 2 controllers and about 15 or 20 games. That thing is OLD! Blue Skies, Jeremy
  22. I sat down yesterday evening and worked on this. Just sing this song along with the Coolio version of "Gangsta's Paradise". As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life And realize there's nothing left 'Cause I've been jumpin' and diving so long That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't understand it Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of You betta watch how ya talking And where ya walking Or you and your wuffo friends might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but I gotta loc As they croak, I see myself in the engine smoke Fool, I'm the kinda phreak that little jumper's wanna be like On my knees in the night Saying prayers in the beacon light 1-Been spending most our lives Living in a skydiver's paradise (2) Keep spending most our lives Living in a skydiver's paradise (2) They got this situation, they got me facing I can't have a normal life, I was raised for better So I gotta be down with the wuffo team Too much television watching, got me scared of flyin' I'm an educated fool with jumpin' on my mind Got my hackey in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a low down puller, set tripping swooper And my phreaks is down so don't arouse my anger Fool, death ain't nothing but a heart beat away I'm living life do or die, what can I say? I'm twenty-two now but will I live to see twenty-three The way things is going I don't know. 2-Tell me why are you so blind to see That the ones you see, are so dang free (rpt 1) Power in the money, money in the power Jump after Jump, pack job after pack job Everybody's jumpin', but half of them ain't looking At what's going on in the kitchen But I don't know what's cooking. They say I gotta learn But nobody's gonna teach me If they can't understand, how can they reach me? I guess they can't I guess they won't, I guess they stuck That's why I know my life is out of luck, foo! (rpt 1, 2, 2) Blue Skies, Jeremy
  23. Weather on the coast changes so rapidly, a storm could come up and be gone in an hour or so. Blue Skies, Jeremy
  24. Probably need to take Lowpullin1 off the list too. He got activated a couple of weeks ago. :-( Blue Skies, Jeremy
  25. Well it took a couple of weeks to get my new toy in the mail. So far I have put 15 jumps on it and it keeps getting better everytime I jump it. It is a very responsive canopy. Lots of flare, even at the bottom end. I would recommend one of these canopy's to anyone. I have several folks at my DZ that wants to demo mine. ;-)
