My rants aren't drunken, I'm just an asshole.

First of all, Bullshit on you were not invited. I seem to recall someone bitching because they didn't like all the chatter clogging up their something or other and asking to be removed from the fb page. Second, the link is in the original post.

Time is growing short. If you sent a message saying you wanted a balloon slot and never bothered to pay for the slot you need to step up to the plate. The arrival of the balloon will be adjusted for the amount of flying he expects to do, he doesn't want to just sit around. Pre-paid slots get priority. Also, I need to hear from the Canadians, I think they wanted a private tent and I need to confirm the size and arrange payment. The Dirty Pirate Hookers are working on raffle items. someone came up with the idea for a costume contest and also a campsite/packing area decoration contest. Looks like the numbers for this year are going to be strong. Come take a look at the facebook event page when you get a chance. If you have a minute, find my post in the bonfire and vote for our picture to help me win an intercom system that I can use for manifest at the boogie. Here's the link.http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4443326;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

Yeah, they change it from last time. Fuckers!!

Go find some of your friends and make a jump every once in a while. Life is about balance. Skydiving doesn't have to consume your life. Your daughter won't miss you for a day.

If anyone could take a sec. to vote I'd appreciate it.

What day did that happen? The day he sold the Harley.

Thanks guys. I'll let you know tomorrow if you can vote twice. And just so everyone doesn't think this isn't skydiving related. I'm gonna use these for manifest to loading communications at the boogie.

Ok kids, I need your help. I entered a contest to win a new intercom system for our bike. Please go to the link below and vote for our picture. The last time they did this you could vote once a day but not sure about this time. If so please vote every day. https://apps.facebook.com/contestsapps/showentry/Valentines-Day-on-bikes/48028 Thanks!!! ...and come to Fitz.

The only prepay items are balloon slots and private group tents. Everything else is pay when you get there. I should add this is a cash only event because we have no way to process credit cards on site. There are ATMs close by. If this is a problem you can arrange prepayment with me before the event.

I don't think it's right to hold this against the DZ. Sounds like an isolated person incident. I bet on any given day at any DZ you are around people you wouldn't invite to your house.

They found your butt pictures.

Should have brought chocolate covered bacon treats to the DZ for everyone.

Hi TD Well that depends, how do you feel about what you wife said. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Peter_Pan_syndrome I'm somewhere between that and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppositional_defiant_disorder

Maybe she'll switch gears and work on getting youtube shut down.

Yep... See the list of top post whores: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=user_list;sb=user_posts;so=DESC; Clay is STILL top 5 , how many year has he been away now? Beat me to it. He's been banned at least 3 yrs

Have you got your tickets to Fitz yet?

Fine line between appreciating something and expecting it. I would think a better course would be to pick up the phone and have a private conversation with the company. I for one if I offer something like a discount or free service to someone do it as a thank you not for the recognition.

Why would most DZs need 3 units?

I've jumped a J-4 with a 170,149 and a 129 in it. I pack the 129 very narrow which leaves slack in the sides of the container but give "me" good pin tension. I have never had a premature opening or any trouble extracting my pilot chute. Padding the container or d-bag was mentioned. If you go that route I would pad the inside of the d-bag. It's safer because there is probably no way for the canopy to get stuck on something tacked into the bottom of the bag. It also adds no outside drag to the bag or new snag points.I have seen this done before. This is my opinion only. I have no knowledge of the regulations to modifying a d-bad.

+ a dozen

Don't forget to pull. Not a joke.

DAMN!!!

Yeah, we learned from the experienced jumpers on the DZ after we got off AFF level 7. Instead of paying 200 jump wonder coaches to jump with us. The new system is much better...said the 200 jump wonder coach getting his jumps paid for.

Someone that I worked with back in the late 80s was a jumper and always said he was going to take me sometime. We actually flew into the DZ in Locust Grove,Ga. in a private plane to check it out one day and for whatever reason couldn't jump that day. Years later, in the late 90s, I had the time and money at the same time and scheduled a level 1 AFF. Took all my extra time and money for the next 8 or so years.
