  1. Close, Belgian Malinois short haired version of the Belgians. No worries there, we have have been in obedience school for two months now, graduated from one on one lessons 2 weeks ago, so now we go to group class twice a week Saturday morning and Tuesday evening. I've started him on agility, but he just turned one and we are still battling his loss of focus after 15 minutes. We also do 30 minutes of obedience a night at home, currently working on the sit and down at a distance, and find a place on his own. Place = jump on top of something that is off the ground and sit, very handy for hiking and small kids are passing you on the trail. Actually it's very cute cause the neighbor kids love coming over to play distraction petting him, playing with his ball, calling his name all to get him to get up from his sit or down. Sherpa is great we picked this breed cause we wanted a dog able to go mountain biking with us and he definitely fits the bill, he is just to young yet for that kind of hard exercise so he will get in shape over the winter and next spring we will see if he is ready. Mary, Should I bring the big bottle of wine or the small one for the hike on Sunday? Fly it like you stole it!
  2. Yeah but it's not fair that you get to see the really good ones in the recycle bin. Fly it like you stole it!
  3. Yeah, he can handle 6 or 7 pooches at one time, but you increase that to 20 and add some Alpha intact males and suddenly he thinks he needs to show off how fast he can run and that he is a tough guy even though he has no balls. What is funny is he reacts much more when the owners Belgians are on the field than when they aren't. I joke that he has a complex cause he doesn't have any papers. Fly it like you stole it!
  4. Estes Park. How could you pass on that? That's on Sunday, I'm sure I will be there, this is for tomorrow's sanity. Fly it like you stole it!
  5. LOL, well I guess with all 3 options being in a dead heat I'm still stuck deciding which one to do. Fly it like you stole it!
  6. hell I usually leave 1-2 hours before 5. By Friday I'm so tired of the needy people in the other departments I don't care if the need something that I've already told them 20 times how to get themselves. I believe in teaching people to fish, my goal in life is to train everyone so they don't need me and in turn my possition is no longer needed. It will never happen, but I can dream. Fly it like you stole it!
  7. Remember, this is the weekend my buddies are coming out. You are welcome to call me and go to Estes Park with us on Sunday. We'll also be doing a very short hike, don't want my sea level friends to get too tired Oh yeah that is right, you never sent me the dates for that. I'll find out tonight what we have planned for Sunday. Fly it like you stole it!
  8. LOL....either way I'll wear myself out, just one way I'll stay dry. The dog beach is on a good sized reservoir so I get in the water with him. Mary if you are in town and not busy tomorrow you are welcome to join us in which ever we do.
  9. One option for your average jumper is sit and watch your rigger pack your reserve. One time, every time doesn't really matter, but it will teach you a lot about your rig and give you the opportunity to ask questions you normally wouldn't be able to ask. I know Derek encourages all his customers to stay and watch. He tries to go over every part of the rig so the customer has a better idea of what is ok and what isn't with their rig.

  10. So my little Angel Sherpa (better known as knothead ) was up until 1am playing with his Kong toy and tennis ball. Which wouldn't be so bad except he would toss it up in the air to catch it, miss and go running across the living room which in turn would wake me up. So tomorrow I'm going to do something to wear his ass out. My options are to go hiking on an off-leash trail, Swimming at the local dog beach, or Obedience class. If we do obedience class it's from 10am to 11am and totally blows the day for hiking, we could still go swimming but by the end of obedience class I normally would rather strangle him than take him anywhere. Obedience class is the only time he acts up cause he would rather play with the other dogs than listen to me, so it's a very stressful hour. Of course once he is "proofed" at obedience class than he will be 100% reliable off leash. He is great off leash on the trails and at the dog beach, also I can do informal obedience at both which is less stressful because it's part of the game. So which one of the three should we do? Fly it like you stole it!
  11. I'm sorry but i found that funny as hell. If you have ever been "Burked" then you know why. Bill, thanks for the informative post. Which is the reason I would jump at any boogie in Eloy or that Burke is running the show for the AZ fleet. People are always going to do something stupid, knowing that after being "Burked" they aren't going to do it again puts my mind at ease. It's boogies like WFFC where their aren't any consequences if you do something stupid, meaning they will do them again, are boogies that scare me. Fly it like you stole it!
  12. That comment was Moab as a whole, the DZ prices are right inline with the cost of everything in that town from white water rafting to renting a mountain bike. I have no problem with Clint's prices, he is charging what the market will allow and in Moab that is lower than some places and higher than others. Fly it like you stole it!
  13. I'm not surprised by those prices at all. Derek has at least one adventure race in Moab every year and you can see that it is just a tourist town. So the people who are in the area (besides the base jumpers) are their on vacation doing "extreme" stuff. So they go "Hey I can make a skydive....Slick rock day one, rock climbing day two, skydiving day three" it completes their belief that they are hard core adventurers. I actually really like Moab, it is beautiful and everyone is very friendly, but every thing in that town is pricey. Fly it like you stole it!
  14. When I come to earth I have a different personality. Is this personality stalking TequilaGirl also? Fly it like you stole it!
  15. Oh lord what is really sad is that I'm probably small enough to use it. 5'1 and as of Friday 109 lbs. Fly it like you stole it!
  16. But it's kind of like orgasms....the more you work for it the better it is. Fly it like you stole it!
  17. Why didn't you sick Cyndi on him, she is good at taking care of the riff-raff? Fly it like you stole it!
  18. Here you go. Fly it like you stole it!
  19. To Fetish clubs I'd wear leather pants and a bustier. Fly it like you stole it!
  20. Yep I saw it, unfortunately It didn't suck me in, and about 45 minutes into it I had lost all interest and was surfing the web. Which is odd cause normally I'm a sap...must have been that time of the month or something. Fly it like you stole it!
  21. Oh my god I just realized you were that guy who was on that Gastineau Girls show...oh now I actually feel sorry for you. The few times I've had that show on as background noise when painting I end up feeling like I've lost IQ points, couldn't imagine being in the same room with them. Of course, I have painted my best pieces with it on, so I guess shutting down the logic side of my brain can be a good thing. Honestly though, if that is the kind of woman you are looking for you probably will not find it here. Every woman I have met here has been intelligent, sensitive, strong in heart and mind, and beautiful in so many ways. All of them demand respect and from your post I don't see you as the kind of guy who would respect these wonderful women. As for me I have a feeling I am much too much of a type A personality for you to handle. Fly it like you stole it!
  22. Does it count if my dog know "Hold on Pumpkin" means brace yourself mama is taking a corner to fast in her mustang. And she does brace herself, one paw on the door and one on the other side of the passenger seat. New dog hasn't learned it yet and goes rolling across the back seat. Fly it like you stole it!
  23. Oh oh oh...I wanna play, this is like my cabana boy application except well it had it's own web page. Not yet, but it could be arraged. (You aren't scared of GLocks are you?) Hmmm....well I've been told I'm hot, but that could have just been pillow talk. I'll have to pass on that since I jump smaller gear than you as it is. Hmm....well good luck with finding a girl like that. You must be young, cause if you weren't you would know the women over 30 tend to have money and like to keep Cabana Boys. Have fun....and you wanna borrow one of my dogs they like to cuddle at night, because I have a feeling your bed will be empty otherwise. Fly it like you stole it!
  24. Derek wears underarmor under which ever shorts he decides to wear jogging. Protects those sensitive bits when he sprints (It's a mis-guided hope that sprinting will wear Sherpa out). Fly it like you stole it!
  25. Who wussified Slapass. I'm going to hide before slappie slaps my ass. Fly it like you stole it!
