You gotta be $hittin' me. Hell no! That's like asking "Would you go skydiving without a parachute?" BTW, what's your answer to your question?

Of course not. He's in there making out with John Travolta.

Many of us in this country are slaves . . . To the alarm clock, the landlord, the utility companies and car loan sharks. Our chains are just a little more subtle. As far as ancient technology, I recently saw a video of a man who, thru counter weights and shimming, was able to duplicate, using concrete slabs, many stone henge type structures will little brute muscle, just ingeniously applied leverage. Simple once you see it, but not obvious.

Damn, let's hope they get that under control quickly. Hammo, be ready to scramble the jump planes.

Thanks to those who've PM'd me for tickets. A new prize has been added. Our own Grimmie, Rich Grimm of Tsunami Skydivers, has donated 4 jump tickets to his great DZ in San Diego. Thanks, Rich.

Hi Everyone, It's that time of year again, when Vskydiver and I put on the Leap for Lupus skydiving event and charity raffle. As many of you know, my wife Valinda, AKA Vskydiver, suffers from lupus, an auto immune disease that affects mostly women, usually in their teens and twenties. She almost lost her life to it a few years back and still suffers some of the ill effects to this day. We have many friends that are even worse off from the disease. The Leap for Lupus raffle is her way of fighting back, raising money for medical research into the causes of and cures for lupus. Being a self funded and all volunteer foundation, we're proud to say that every dollar raised by our raffle goes directly to the University of Washington Division of Rheumatology for research. We're very excited to say that this year they have a new drug in initial clinical trials. We hope it's very successful. Please take a minute to look over our list. PM me if you'd like to buy tickets or follow the link below the list to our Facebook page. As always, a HUGE thanks to all of our sponsors in this raffle. I'm am so humbly grateful for their support. They are the best. For those of you who make it to the event in person, as always there are even more prizes on the Local List, from custom jumpsuits to barbecues, reserve repacks to restaurant coupons. I'd love it if each and everyone of you could be there with us. Thanks, John Mitchell

I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry . . .

I loved his old TV show Crime Story. That explains how he brought so much realism to the role. I enjoyed just about all his work. Yep, we'll miss him.

Put me down with the liars. I haven't had PJ's in a zillion years.

Nice stuff. Rossy has the ultimate toy, IMO.

It's an old joke; predates audibles.

You know how they know when to pull? The leash goes slack.

. . . and Thai whiskey are what I'm having right now. How 'bout you?

I've heard of machines, like presses and cutters, that have handcuffs you wear. If you don't have you hands pulled back, the cuffs yank 'em back for you. Scary.

I think you're onto sumpn'.

Loved Connect the Threats. Dating at the dz? becomes Rating at the DZ? How do you stack up in the game? Info re an older photo? becomes Info re an odder photo? Need Mental Health Resources in Fresno, Ca becomes Need Menial Health Resources in Fresno, CA

And, you know, crap happens, so get your AAD back in the rig and enjoy an extra layer of safety. Sure, I have and will jump without one, but I prefer to have one, very much so.

I think you are one he's refering to, mabye Val too Poor Valinda was pretty tough before all those lupus meds screwed with her bone density. Her hobbies used to be weightlifting and gymnastics. That was one buff girl.

We just whisper things like that. . .

"Arch. Get on your BELLY! NOW!!!"

I always heard "polite" was my best quality.

Rough year for stupid lawn mower operators. It's a lot like doing up your chest strap. There are times when you just need to PAY ATTENTION.

Nothing chicks love more than a guy that hits on other chicks right in front of them. Hey, they always say they dig self-confidence in a guy. WTF?
