There ya go, the Princess of ATV's. Sometimes dead sexy just ain't practical.

A friend of mine had a buddy that signed pages in his log book in advance. That jumper went in. Months later my friend logged a jump with a signature from The Other Side. . . He told me it was a strange moment.

Wrong again, Shah. And don't forget all those amazing ice skaters (and lugers and Nordic skiers and . . . ). Really, you must get out more.

It would be a pretty gutsy dude to screw with anything belonging to you.

Could the instructor have stayed low key, mouth shut and kept flipping? I think that would have been my move.

Good question, Doc. Perhaps the power or maintenance requirements are lower or it can handle steeper inclines. Maybe initial costs might be less. You know every vehicle is a compromise of many, many factors. I will say that it's a funky cool ride, but a hovercraft is dead sexier in comparison.

Dog? Dang, I was so excited for you. But congrats on the puppy. They're great too.

Type LP personality, little penis.

Good on ya, Mate! Now, on to the next decade of jumping.

QuoteJust got another prize in from the fine folks at Cookie Composites, a 50% off a G3 Helmet I've got a road trip this weekend to Utah for the other kind of relative work.

I'm glad they scratched and dented his precious Ferrari. That and laying him down with the cuffs on was nice too. Maybe he'll learn a lesson or two. Even before our kids were driving we taught them to be polite and esp. non-threatening to cops. Sign the ticket and take it to court if you want to argue.

Women have to realize we're hardwired like that. Vskydiver knows that and doesn't give me any grief about it. It's how you act towards the women that means something.

Maybe there never has been any true loyalty between management and labor, but my dad spent 45 years as an engineer for one company (under 6 different corporate names). I've got 28 years with the FAA. My kids seem to change jobs twice a year, looking for that next step up. Companies almost seem to expect it.

Yuck, if that comes up during sex, it's time to lose weight and hit the gym.

Don't scare her off, Squeak. If she moves down there we can visit both of you at once.

I saw him twice back in high school. My friends and I were lucky enough to appreciate his talent at a young age. You missed a great band, super talented, super tight. Frank was always a good time.

Super nice!

Love with Arthur Lee. I was a Steppenwolf fan as a kid. Don't hear from them much anymore.

Sorry, Remi. It was half past midnight when I posted that. Long day coming back from LP.

There ya go. Yeah, the Fiat guys, I enjoyed saying "You could have had a sale if you hadn't yanked us around."

Biggest fear? Something bad happening to one of our kids. But what can you do but let them go out into the world?

Water jump, to put out all those flames . . .

That is cool! Like many of us, I built all kinds of model planes and hung them from the ceiling when I was a kid. I can really appreciate the effort in making that display.
