    Okay, we have a winner "Best Lifestyle" category.

    5 out of 7. Don't know how patriotic that makes me but I was awake for most of my history classes.

    Thanks, everyone, for the great pics. Tavino, nice looking patio.

    Took me a minute. . . NO, don't scratch the Porsche. Nice adventuring there. Is that still the South of France?

    Jack! Good to "see" ya. That's V on the left. Here's another of her. Hugs to Linda.

    Playing for the donors? That's great. I'm pumping a pint of O+ tomorrow.

    Damn, that looks like a fun ride.

    Here's me and Vskydiver bellying around in the tunnel today.

    I know you two run a customer based business during the week and treat them they way they should be treated. (Didn't your customers throw an appreciation party for you and Laura not too long ago? ) All I'm saying, and you know it very well, is that it's easy to say "no" politely and gracefully and still maintain good relations. If someone spends a lot of $$ in my place of business, I want them to walk away happy, even if I can't give them everything.

    Thanks for making me go back and watch the first part. Reminds me of several whuffo friends that would find reasons to just hang out at the DZ. That 2.5 minute pack job was impressively efficient. I still prefer to flake the canopy more. I'm in the 5 minute range, maybe a little faster when I hurry. I often pack for two people, me and Vskydiver.

    Sounds like you're getting down to the weight you should be. Congrats. And get an annual physical. I don't think there's a damn thing wrong with you, but think of it as preventive maintenance.

    Yes, with that person on the front and that big drogue trailing out the back, it's really hard to duck and dodge and get out of the way of an inbound meat missle.

    She's a beauty.

    My wind limits are lower than some of the other guys. I'm lucky to work at a DZ that respects that.

    Just did my Class III the other day. Squinted my way to 20/20 for far vision. Whipped out the cheaters for near vision. Got enough of the whispered numbers correct. Doc said "Hearing's good enough for skydiving, I guess." BP, proud to say 124/78, white coat and all. I had a stack of BP readings from giving blood all year. I do great at the blood bank, but sometimes get the "white coat" syndrome myself.

    Pretty cool video. But he shouldn't think he understands us completely. If he's just making one tandem, he's just passing thru.

    Well, maybe an occasional freefall. . .

    Hell yeah. I'm not a man of violence, but you have to meet force with force. Way to stay cool and take the sweet punch, whoever you are.

    Even if you ask politely?
