  1. Interesting that someone who doesn't believe in God or the bible, and who has openly bashed them in other threads, seeks to quote something here from that source. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. Owie!! Sorry to hear this Ann! No laughing...no coughing...no sneezing.... Hey, do yourself a favor and carry around a little pillow and use it to support your rib cage if and when any of the above 3 seem eminent. It helps, really! I'm working on my bathroom as well. Redecorating has turned into a major repair job when I found rust behind one of the walls! Yikes! Any suggestions? (crawled under the house and there doesn't seem to be any water dripping so I'm stumped). Heal quick and post whore alot this weekend! :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. San Bernardino County. Like Victorville, Barstow, Apple Valley....on the way to Las Vegas. :^) I-15 freeway. Wrightwood...now there's a nice place in the 'high desert' area! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. Thanks. Last I heard it was going to be next door. It makes alot more sense to put it in a wuffo place like U/S. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Speaking of flying with birds...here is one of my favorite skydiving stories:
  6. How? Glad I was not noticing the price change (yet) as I was busy down at the school all weekend long. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. And, uh, how many cutaways on the Spectre? Oh, and you got your PRO Rating on that same canopy too didn't you? 1 cutaway with the Spectre (remember JFTC?). Yes indeed, it served me very well for my PRO rating as well.
  8. It's changed again. It's now $17 and $21 with a 5% charge added to each credit card transaction. You can still get ticket blocks, though. ltdiver edit: to reflect correct 5%, not $5, extra charge for credit cards. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  9. Didn't they build a wuffo (smaller) tunnel next door last year? You mean that we won't be able to attract all the public that frequent the Railroad Museum next door? Well, Anaheim lost out when they voted against it being included in an Extreme Park right down the road from D/L. Their loss. Last I heard, the Elsinore tunnel isn't happening. (the story goes back and forth depending on who's telling it.) Elsinore and Perris are starting to work together again. Elsinore brought an Otter over to Perris for the Kate/Tony/Dan B.C. big-way camp last month! It was GREAT! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. 1605:6 Used to change my canopy to a new model just out about every 1-200 jumps... Bought a Spectre now... (quade's fault ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. billvon posted some notes on the subject. He was there. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. I know another cameraflyer who's shoulder was injured while an Otter bounced around on jumprun. The unsteadiness of the plane flight was enough to eventually throw him off! Now he's undergoing medical treatment for a torn rotator cuff. What can a pilot do to ensure safe and steady jump runs for those outside the plane? I know a Caravan has a lower and closer stabilizer, but this is 2 cameraflyers who've been injured by similar things. Any input from jump pilots? Is there anything -we- can do, as skydivers, to aid in this as well? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. Hey! Just my speed! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  14. If you do a search, this has been discussed at length, with LOTS of good stuff listed... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Whoo Hoo!! Thought I recognized your jumpsuit there, Shark! Great capture by your cameraflyer! Who took the shot? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. Yep... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. *bump* So.......???? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  18. For those of us involved in the student skydiver scene, what is the very best first statement you've heard your student say right after landing from his/her first jump? Usually they're hilarious one liners... The best one I ever heard came from this past weekend. A young man made a tandem in which I flew video. The first line out of his mouth when I asked him what he thought of his first skydive was, "I think I swallowed my balls!!" What are the best ones you've heard?! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Looks like your TRV10 and new TRV22 have the same dimension of view, though. Nice. Cool artwork.... However, who picked your pink curtains???!!!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. Ok, how's this? What kind of work did you do? Or would like to do (seriously). First perhaps think about this, -then- plan your strategy of living location. There are so many places to choose, this could help you narrow down your possibilities quite a bit. I did an on-line search a couple of years back, when I was seriously considering a move. Places which fell into my income bracket (and were nice places to consider) was Temecula and Corona (both Riverside County areas). One is south of Perris, the other is NorthWest. I would have liked Yorba Linda, but the cost of living there was a bit out of my price range. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. Uh....don't forget the HEAT we have in summer and the earthquakes and smog....yeah the earthquakes....! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  22. I'm not disagreeing with the concept or convenience of a vasectomy. It's actually a good thing in the birth control vs pleasure issue. :^) However, my beef is with the terminology. Can't a better slang word be found? Uh....if you 'fix' something it has to be broken first, right? So, if you are as you were born, and decide to change that...what 'correct' slang term should we use? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. Son, that's not 'fixed' that's 'broken'! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  24. So, perhaps these Cessna pilots will convene a week ahead of time and build their formations from 2 to 4 to 8....etc, in prep for the skydivers who'll be flying with them. Yeah, it WILL be interesting. (I'm still looking for that web page...they were just getting the hang of flying in close enough formation when the record attempt days ran out). Are -you- interested in piloting one of the planes? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
