    I thought the ballerina on the bulldozer was okay, nice juxtaposition. Too small of a pic to tell too much about it. The rest? Buh-zarrr!

    Going out with friends tonight. No time for homemade Pi. Darn.

    Dang. The Seattle tunnel has a lot of off hour time and specials that run $10-13 a minute.

    I sure wouldn't tip the guy.

    All of the above at Lost Prairie last year. Kokanee every evening, T-shirt, goodie bag (I think), great barbecue pork dinner on Saturday (it was all you could eat, basically, 'cause they let yo back in line once the chow line slowed down.) Add free camping and showers, super clean porta potties. I sure got my $$$ worth. Shoot, see ya there, Normiss.

    Paddy's Day

    JohnMitchell replied to Skyrad's topic in The Bonfire

    Coming up from the bottom IS the old way. There's nothing new about it at all. I've gone back to it and I like it. Mechanically, can you think of anything wrong with it? When a lot of this stuff was invented, we looked at it very hard to see what worked, what wouldn't work and where things could go wrong. There were a lot of hard earned lessons. Think about the mechanics of it all.

    Right on the $$$. False pride and over confidence, 2 big killers. I feel most people should use an RSL. I heard one very experienced, very high performance jumper stating all wingsuiters should use RSL's. I was surprised but pleased. There's a lot of dead jumpers that would have been saved by an RSL. Want to be stable when your reserve deploys? Try putting your feet on your butt and arching when you chop. Not many people do.

    It's a free country. Both T&G's and skydiving are VFR activities done in Class E & G airspace using see-and-avoid methods.

    Pretty much crap weather here, + we're having safety day NEXT Saturday. I'll take "zero jumps" for a hundred, Alex. I might get in the tunnel this morning, though.
  11. JohnMitchell
    Yeah, but that leaves 6 other zones that hopefully don't gross you out. So I think you're still in the game.
  12. JohnMitchell
    Oh yeah, I've had shotgun vision from doing that.
  13. JohnMitchell
    I'll be damned.

    Common sense and empathy shouldn't scare you. Coming from you, it's scary. . .

    Just sing a lot louder, jeez.

    That's what google told me too.

    How deep is the water there. I sure hope they can recover the data recorders and figure out what happened. Bad stuff indeed.
  18. JohnMitchell
    Yeah, a ten minute briefing that takes about 30 seconds.
  19. JohnMitchell
    Hell yeah.

    Hi Lisa!! I'd definitely rather know you than turtle! Aw, that's just mean. . .
  21. JohnMitchell
    Shot!
  22. JohnMitchell
    That's a cute pic.
  23. JohnMitchell
    And spoil the moment? No gentleman would do such a thing.

    What, did Mark have to run to the store or somethin'? That's his job.
  25. JohnMitchell
    You know we do that to peek up your skirts.
