  1. A guy gave me a nice aerobatic ride in his plane. I had my video camera. He said not to show it to my FAA buddies. I said "Aye aye".
  2. Thanks. That quote's been ringing in my head since this thread started.
  3. No, but it counts towards being a lot better flyer, and that gives you bandwidth to concentrate on the important parts of skydiving, like not getting killed.
  4. Nobody NEEDS gourmet coffee but life's to short for shit coffee No wonder you said "no thanks' to a second cup at our house.
  5. Now that's the attitude that just made you a lot safer.
  6. You know, I can see this. It's an old joke I couldn't resist. You know we all love and adore you, Skymama.
  7. Being a guy is actually pretty good, but I think you're just a little too feminine for it. Sorry.
  8. Well, I know who you're married to, but I'll still say the punchline.. . . "Oh, cold and bitter?"
  9. We camped for years using a percolator or just making it in a pan, the grounds be damned. Last couple of years I've been using a French press when we camp at LP. A boy needs a strong cup of coffee for those Montana hangovers.
  10. Folgers or whatever store brand in the big can. Brewed on timer in the Mr. Coffee in the kitchen. Drink it hot and black. I don't need no gourmet coffee.
  11. Gotcha. Yes, commercial aviation, last I heard, was about 20 times safer than driving. But private pilots and skydivers like to tell themselves that the most dangerous thing is the drive to the airport. I don't think so.
  12. The word is TOOL How about the people that get worked up over a punk rock band sticker. Sheesh, what idiots . . . would put that sticker on their bike? http://articles.cnn.com/2009-02-16/us/tenn.bike.bomb_1_pipe-bomb-memphis-international-airport-airport-police?_s=PM:US
  13. Dang. Well, I hope someone kissed 'em better for ya.
  14. Very nice point. Quit making sense.
  15. Why'd ya quit the caffeine? I'm not going without my morning java.
  16. If I've heard correctly, Standard Oil was one of the trusts that Teddy Roosevelt left alone. He figured much the same himself.
  17. You mean you got to marry that beautiful, gorgeous woman AND save money? How cool is that?
  18. Nice setup. 20 cents a bullet for .223? That sucks.
  19. I heard there used to be a "marriage penalty" in the U.S. income tax rates, and that congress wanted to fix it. Is there now a "marriage advantage"? Vskydiver and I are joint everything and we have an accountant do our taxes. I have know idea if we'd do better as singles.
