    Won't that make the plane crash? Why won't they let you ride in the seats with everyone else?

    From the basement of an FAA control room. Used to be all the time from there.

    Thanks for the advice. We have a 2000 sq ft home in Olympia, WA we may install AC in. We'll be using the existing F/A Gas ducts, of course. What kind of tonnage will we need with our milder, although humid, summers and how do I know the AC is optimized to my ductwork?

    I thought drunk came in progressive stages, from "I'm good looking and witty" to "I'm bulletproof and, shhhhh!, Invisible!"

    Remster gets tickets every year but I don't think he won anything too big last year. There are a ton of prizes so I can't remember all the winners. The Leap for Lupus is August 15th-17th this year with the banquet, raffle drawing and party on Saturday the 16th. This year they're planning a ladies vertical record and some wind tunnel flying on Sunday. Should be a great time. Love to have you up.

    I pay my dues so the USPA can try to keep the FAA off my back. I feel that's their most important mission. I also feel they provide some kind of structure to our student programs. I wouldn't like to see the void if they quit training and certifying instructors. How effectively they do that is always debatable, but at least there's some kind of program. As far as safety, we have to remember that the USPA has as much legal jurisdiction as the Boy Scouts of America. They can tear up your ratings and ban you from "their" DZ's, but they can't ban you from jumping or fine you.

    Just don't sell any to Remster. He'll get the winning number for sure.

    That was great. Thanks for posting that. That's some very tight airspace they were jumping in. I'm glad they were able to get the clearance for it. Must have dropped off a case of Red Bull to the Tracon.

    It's Andy Farrington. And yes, he's pretty damn good at everything.

    I think those nose strips will help him out.

    As a Texan, I was raised to say "Sir" and "Ma'am". Seemed to do okay, until I moved to Utah. Saying that there was seen as sarcasm. You don't even have to go outside of the country to fall into cultural divides.

    Hey, Slack Valley is two over. . .

    Thanks for posting all that. I've known others to make that transition and it's not easy at all. Hope all continues to go well for you. Transgender joke, maybe a bit dated. A person made the switch from male to female and one of her friends asked her what was the most painful part of the whole process. She replied "Getting my paycheck cut in half." Hopefully women's wages vs. men's have improved since I first heard that joke.

    No shit. That'd be a good book.

    I see how that works. Thanks for interesting approach to an old task.

    Great. How do I get certain jumpers to take those pills?

    Wish it was heavier than air 'cause my feet have no sense of smell. . .

    I just hope they really, really checked the spot. . .

    Quote Totally missed that in the article. Hilarious.

    I just wonder how he gets his paws to grip the ripcord handle.

    Nice ride, Jerry. Remember, shiny side up.

    And he was very polite, too. I'd be upset if one of my daughters did too.
