    So... When your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband decides they want to try skydiving then what? I want to keep a distance to be sure this is their experience but I want to be supportive also. I've seen threads before about wives that stay home when hubby is jumping. I've had 2 girls that I've had serious emotional attachment to jump. Man I was nervous on their AFF 1 and I have no clue why. One part of me just hopes they'll be ok. I could see the fear building in them before they got on the otter. The other part hopes they'll love it and I'm so worked up I want to bust.. Anybody else gone through this? Ed

    Thanks ya loser! Man you worse tthan I thought you were. Late on the count, no eye contact, flailing all over the place. I was of course stunning in my performance even after being out of the sky so long. Nah loser. You know I'm joking with you. It was pretty cool to jump with you too. I remember the first time I took you to Elsinore and you were so into it.

    Well the son certainly has a way with words doesn't he? "I think that was dad's idea, to go out in a flash of glory," http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20040330-9999-news_7m30jump.html

    She's a pretty cool roommate but she'll borrow all your gear. Let see... To date: Protrack Bonehead helmet Nike Compression shirt Alti tried the gloves on but they didn't fit. I think she may have even borrowed a couple of pages from my logbook.

    Man sometimes I just don't know about our media. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20030825/whalegas.html?ct=8795.18068934889 "The general rule that flatulence is worse than halitosis is certainly also true for whales," said Gales, who had to flee the bow of the ship shortly after the whale's natural release was observed, and smelled. I'm sure it rivaled anything you have smelled on the way to altitude. Ed

    For a beer market research study. WTF??? Marketing company called me. I've done stuff for them before and they pay well. This time it was a beer research study. They called back and said I was over qualified. Dunno what that meant but I think AA is in order. Ed

    I agree. I was so unhappy with myself I'm sure I was unapproachable. Shit I used to scare the hell out of little kids and I'm not kidding. Not sure if I ever smiled too much. It does depend on your attitude alot. But there will always be those that will judge you on sight alone. Ed

    Well it keeps me in check. Something I wanted to do my whole life and once I got a taste it was better than I ever imagined it could be. I'm not going back.

    Don't forget our girl Elifane. She's a hottie. Standing there with that hip kicked out like that. Girl gained some attitude too. Besides.. Damn gastric bypass did nothing for back hair.

    No kidding. I lost that "natural" arch too. You'd think my tracking would be better.

    Dude I agree. I had my own shop for 5 years until my health went south. I don't have the facilities to work on my own car and it ticks me off when I have to pay someone. At the same time I know what it cost to run a shop. In california the rents are high and if you generate any kind of Hazmat you're gonna end up paying for it. Let alone trying to find employees that don't have some kind of reoccuring drug or drinking problem. Ok enough ranting.

    Per VW the tensioner is required to be replaced every 60k miles. Now most times it's not required but ya know... Liabilty. Sorry Chief. 10 total. Confirmed in my service manual for 1993-early 1999 VW. Ed

    Ok everything appears to be inline except for the head. That is a full OE head for sure. There are always alternatives for something like that. Unless the head was badly damaged usually the head does not need to be replaced. The valves would but not the whole head. See if there is an LKQ (like kind quality) or rebuilt available. To qualify I do material damage for personal auto for a living. Still the whole head being replaced is bugging me but wthout knowing all the specifics I cannot say that it doesn't need to be replaced. Ed

    Try this little tip. Kitchen area or breakroom is. Open the fridge. Look in all of the containers and bags and see what looks good. Pour hot sauce on it to kill most of the harmful bacteria. Heat and enjoy! I of course don't do that but from the corporate memos that have been circulating it seems to be quite popular.

    I just checked out the menu online. I went to School in Ft. Worth in '92. I got to experience the Waffle House and Whataburger but I missed the whole Freebird thing. I pulled up the menu online. Jesus that is fricking insane. So any of you guys able to polish off a "Super Monster"?

    I was doing a few scans and came across these. About 1967 I would guess. I was such a cute kid I can hardly take it. My mom is pretty cool.

    In my kitchen tonight: "It's supposed to be that color. That's pork color". When I questioned Skyyhi if the pork roast was a bit underdone. Any have a cure for trichinosis? Overhear anything good lately anyone? Ed
