You can jump solo if you are confident in yourself and actually have some skill. Some people always talk like jumping solo is some big boogy man thing. It's obvious to say that if you get hurt, then your in some serious shit. But I know I wanted to jump really bad when I began and there was nobody around here that was jumping then. I had a mentor on my first in another town. Then I did an ass load of solos with my second opening a new A. From #2 to around #45 I jumped almost always alone. I still go solo sometimes now but the desire to go so frequently is gone. They are great experiences. You just have to have the need and some common sense. And dont do it to impress some big titted chick either. Chicks hate daredevils.

What's even more interesting is that if you hold just a roll of nickels in your hand, you can hit someone with about 60% more power. Handy information when the wife hasn't done the dishes. My wife is big though. Sweats a lot too.

What's kinda strange is the same mason's pint full of dimes is almost the same amount, around $160.
-
I think it's: 2 pints to a quart 4 quarts to a gallon So like 40 quarts to 5 gallons. 40 times $160 is $6400 or so? Someone check that.
-
I count change from vending machines and one mason's pint jar of quarters is between $157-$161 almost every time. Dont know if the shape of the jar would alter the amount.

You mentioned "other towers" around it? Are the other towers shorter like 300 feet and in a straight line somehow? Some funky looking glass insulators at or around the base of it? What I'm getting at is make sure its not an AM tower.

Jason, I waited until 11 at night to try mine. WTF? it went through in under 15 seconds? Fa la la la laa La la la laaaa.... Christ I'm funny!

I'd be skeptical of Naptown's opinion of anything where females are dominating. We were in Burger King once, and the woman behind the counter asked if he wanted to super-size his combo and he dropped to his knees and said "Only if it pleases you, my mistress." Tree you were there.

"don't look straight into the eyes" That can also be applied to handjobs i heard.

Looks like the closest airport for the Royal Gorge is Salt Lake or Denver. Is that right before I purchase the tick? Thanks Mike

I bet that was entertaining hearing an alarm go off. Nate, Bk and Fluffy had that happen here and Fluffy was so scared he pooped his pants. We have him cleaning his trousers on video. Glad to see you were more in control.

My woman and me were on the tv about two months ago. We were sueing her former employer for alot of money because she slipped on the sweat from the guys who were tipping her. Being a larger woman she hurt her elbo and her boss won't pay her docter bills. We were on the the tv for a talk and they interviewed us. I guess that's as populer as I ever been.

I can chug a whole bottle of Listerine, man!

No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that when I'm in discussion with others and they are talking about something in which I don't have any knowledge or don't think is right, I have the mindset to know that there are other possibilities out there other than I'm aware. I can take someone's opinion and respect it as their own. I just really hate it when people have to tell to "trust them."
-
Hearing people just say that irritates the hell out of me. Do these people really think that by saying that I'll actually do so? If anything, it gives the opposite effect. Especially when they stress the "trust" part. Do they not think that I'm capable of deciding if the subject at hand is a possibility or truth? If I'm involved in conversation with someone and they break that out, my respect level for them drops significantly.

"(it's simply impossible to cover all important BASE topics in a course that spans a long weekend)." That's a crock! I was taught on the way out to the antenna how to base jump. Right before my first jump they said "Jump really far out off the metal and pitch fast 'cause you don't want to put Kenny low on this two-way, he's been drinking all day and his judgement is not the best. 400 feet is sorta low, but you should be fine. And pass the joint already you nervous sissy!" Good times Good times

Anyone know what the good recipe is for making those huge bubbles with a stick and some strips of cloth? I'm talking those ones that are four or five feet in diameter that you make in the front yard. I would think it's something like one part dish soap and five parts water. Thanks! Mike!

I wanted to start base and I couldn't find anyone in my area so I ended up going 5 hours away to some strange group in Michigan who was current. My mentors and I tried 3 different weekends and on the 4th I finally got off the A at about 600 feet. I'm pretty sure it was a good launch and nice landing around midnight. I remember thinking "I dig this," and knowing I'd do this again. About 2 weeks later I bought a tiny mojo 240 from a friend of a friend and proceeded to do about 40 solos over the next few months before finding some other jumpers in my area. I weighed about 200 pounds before gear and never stood up a landing.

Anybody here in Mensa? I have a question about their organization and would like a jumper's perspective. Thanks! Mike!

I think my helmet is fitting too loose on my coconut. I adjusted the chin cup and the forehead strap but not sure if this is sufficient. Check out the photo I attached and see what you think.

"What is your friend's concern about his work vehicle having some sort of positioning system in it, anyway?" Our concern is to not be tracked while we're fucking off instead of working, if it really is a matter to you. How's that for an answer to your little question? Thanks for the help anyway.
-
No it doesn't.

I have been told from a boss that certain people's company vehicles are being tracked via GPS. My buddy got a new company truck and we popped the hood and there on the battery cable was a self contained electronic something that neither one of us have ever seen. It's clamped right to the battery clable in a way that looks like it's intended to pull power. It also has a line going to the fuse box. There is a 25 amp fuse in the box where the sunroof's fuse should be, but he has no sun roof. I pulled a part number off of it and it starts GMS ARVC and an 8 digit number. Does anyone recognize this sequence of letters or can offer any help to see if this is the device we think it is? I can give more info as needed to determine what it is. Pm's or posts are fine. Thanks Mike

Well Done! If you go hand held and stowed in the same weekend, you have to go shirtless. I don't remember why the grandfathers of our sport had that rule cast in the base bible but I sure don't want to be the first ever to break it.
