  1. Sketchy and I can even do Plaything's ground school at Roy's house so afterward, our favorite wine/beer will be waiting for us LOL! J/K, no need to supply nuttin. Sketchy will Byron let you borrow Malfunction pics, student rig, other FJC stuff for an evening at Chop Chop's to do Plaything's FJC? If not, we may be best off with Lany doing her FJC at the DZ. I actually highly recommend doing it at the DZ. From experience of teaching an FJC at a friend's house one night. Let's just say the Anvil and a few others showed up with some Everclear. That was some FJC. And we don't have King Airs in Chop Chop's bedroom to use for realism and practice It was apparent that the guy was just trying to impress my vidiet friend and that his REAL sport of choice should have been badmitton. It was an oh so interesting first jump Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  2. That is a sad story and just confirms my beliefs about why some people shouldn't be afraid to skydive simply because you "can" die. You can die doing anything in this world, even just going for a routine jog and getting killed by a magnolia tree. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  3. Wow, you are a very trusting soul Sketchy. I have to pack 20 good reserves and pass my practical exam before I even contemplate packing for anyone else. Granted I was a good packer when that is what I did for a living. I never "mal"ed anyone But this is a whole different ball game and until I prove myself as worthy in rigging, I would recommend taking your reserve to a qualified rigger like Hookitt I wouldn't want you to die Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  4. Uhh, Thanks Sketchy for thinking of me but, I've already got that one covered. My friend Tom Gade is going to teach me and he's down in Monterey. He is not free but he is a friend of mine and is giving me what I think is a very reasonable "teacher's discount". Of course he doesn't see it as a discount just cause he is ultra cool. I just need to get down there to do it and I have been trying to get fully over this cold first. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  5. Say Hi to Clarence and Chuck and Jason and Arvel and Cece for me (if you jump at Skydive Hawaii) Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  6. OK so I am all for Chicks Rule AFF. Bonnie, Jen & Lany ? (AKA Bon-Bon, NoShit & PlayThing) I've met Bonnie once or twice, I think it would be fun. Or Hookitt would be entertaining too. Or Hookitt and Bonnie... Whoever takes Plaything ... something must be done about this shitty weather!!! Don't know about Lodi but Bay Area sucks right now. I am incommunicado from the 26th through the 2nd of January. Other than that, I just need to learn to rig and get ready for mine and Dakota's move across the country. Whoo Hoo! And Bonnie, I've gotta let you know, I've never heard you sing that song but it is already in my head Now cut it out (J/K) Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  7. Kaz, I have some jumper friends who swear by this hypnotist in Illinois. They said they went a couple times and that was it, they never craved a cigarrette again. One guy smoked for over 10 years and I'm not sure how long the other two smoked for. If you want more info I can contact one or more of them and find out the hypnotist's name but all three were quite successful and haven't smoked since (as far as I know). In fact one guy, you may even know, his name is Norge Roi. He is a big way organizer and was our 16 Way team captain in 2002. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  8. Oh, okay then ... cuz I'm kinda sensitive you know ... Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  9. "I'm frightened for you Lany..." And ... What could possibly go wrong??? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  10. I know what Sketchy got Chop Chop for XMas ... neener neener neener Hehehe, I can make devils now (Shark taught me how) Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  11. Only Santa knows (alright someone tell me how to make that little devil guy with the horns pop up on the screen) Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  12. Ummm, you're welcome to pack Dakota and me in your suitcase ... Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  13. Turtlespeed, I'm thinkin that or Godiva's for you! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  14. Hey I don't know what you all are doing for Christmas: Sketchy, Chop Chop, Lany, but all you lost children can come to my house for Christmas dinner if you want. My mom and I can make a mean Christmas dinner. I'm outta here on the 26th though, off to Missouri to see my skyhottie! But then I will be back for a couple weeks on the 2nd after the New Year ... Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  15. And there is always entropy and chaos theory Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  16. How Naughty??? Well see, that's classified. I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."

    Choices

    Hell that isn't even a toss up. Going to the DZ.com Boogie for sure. And I would say skydiving with Bush at the Boogie would be the ultimate, but I've seen video of his Dad skydiving and ummm ... well ... , ummmm .... let's just say, not a pretty sight so I think I'd pass. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  18. I always said, Never underestimate the value of a clean flat surface ... Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  19. I'm sure $500 is well worth it. I've been pretty good this year, But not THAT good. Cause Santa must know I can be a NAUGHTY GIRL too so I don't think he's gonna be all THAT generous ... damn! Shark, you've never heard that Simon and Garfulkel song, Are you going to Scarborough Fair ... BTW, your semi-new avatar is way cool. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  20. This post sort of reminds me of Are you going to Scarborough Fair ... Sorry, just digressing ... I'd love to go, how much izit? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  21. Awwwww, thanks I'll miss you too! You and Chop Chop and RoysPlayThing will just have to take a trip and come visit and jump with me at Quantum Leap Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  22. Really? Building snowmen as a child rocks? I hope so ... Hi Vanilla! We are moving to Missouri. Yep, in the middle of January ... It's gonna be cooooooold! I am so spolied with Hawaii and California weather ... I hope I like it! Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  23. You GO SkyMama!!! Sounds like you have some pretty studly cool neighbors. I'm going to be moving to a new state next month (in the cold) with my little one ... I hope I have cool neighbors like that! Especially since this will be my first time living in the snow Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  24. Wow, super cool Nebulae pics Vinnie and Quade. Thanks! I took Astronomy a while back and remember learning all about Nebulae, but I can't remember much about what causes them. Quade mentioned a star blowing up, that sounds about right but can someone refresh my memory? I think I remember there being like 3 types or something. I remember seeing a horseshoe nebula ... am I on the right track here or completely pulling this stuff out of my ass? Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
  25. I forgot about some of these shows! Punky Brewster was like my favorite show. And I hate to admit it but I loved the Brady Bunch too. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."
