Unstable

Screw them. I'm going to go see it in a few hours just to spite them. HA! Take that commie! I think I'll even get a coke and some freedom Candies! Muahahaha! =========Shaun ==========

Hey that's me!!!! I'd better get me some learnin' on this topic post haste! =========Shaun ==========

Hey Corey, I put you down for a couple of 2 hr shifts loading the plane - thanks!!! =========Shaun ==========

Man, who would have thought that 50+ year old pilot Gary would be so good at riding the ripstick. Old man kicks my ass on it. =========Shaun ==========

Lol. Yuppers. Jesse got those porta-sink things. Does that count?!?!? =========Shaun ==========

Boogie Planning update.... - Running water Check - Big Ass packing tent Check - Hog, chickens, smoker check Thanks skyh2omedic! - up to 600 Gal/day Jet-A check - New Credit card machine check =========Shaun ==========

Sure, why not? Unless your guest showers WITH you, how will they ever know in the first place?!?!? =========Shaun ==========

So, now at least we have Running water with the porta-sinks! I think it'll be a good show! We are having a boogie committee meeting Saturday BEFORE we start jumping - perhaps Doug and Jesse could be there? BTW, this is going to be the best damn boogie Kansas has ever seen! =========Shaun ==========

Another sign that the country is going to the dogs. Heaven forbid people actually pay the consequences for buying a home they can't afford, or for bankers who give out loans they KNOW they won't be able to pay back. I think we can look at this on a broader term - it comes down to responsibility. People believe that the government is there to bail them out - just like an insurance policy for bad decisions. =========Shaun ==========

something is wrong. I keep clicking on everything you send me, but....I....Just....don't......see......any.....boobies... Maybe the links are broken?!!? =========Shaun ==========

Okay - I PROMISE I'm not a bad son - but I totally forgot it was mothers day in the hussle and bussle of Finals week. I have no $ - does anyone have any good ideas on what to do for mothers day? =========Shaun ==========

Cool! I like Andrew - he's a good kid. Have you met "Sound-Guy Scott?" Scott Cameron? He's providing the PA system and all the gizmos needed to run it. Live band; well, not this time around. Although the ABC and hog roast should provide plenty of fun for everyone. When budgeting out the boogie this year, the general consensus was that a live band would be more hassle than it would be worth - but if this year turns out well and we have the pennies to do it again - LETS! =========Shaun ==========

I'm very serious. My Sister Lived in Ukraine for Years (In Mariupol and Donetsk) and I've always been looking for a reason to sneak out there and meet people. She only had some good things to say about the people and culture, and that is something I would like to see. Yes, she had some close calls with thugs in Mariupol, but I would imagine that could be said anywhere in the world.. =========Shaun ==========

If it makes you guys feel any better, we are not alone. Down here in Wichita, Cessna, Hawker-Beechcraft (Raytheon) and Leerjet are all fighting this tooth and nail. I read the Cessna Employee Newsletters every week, and I promise you they are going to be a HUGE part in overcoming this. The Big Airlines make a few bogus claims. Well, lets call them half truths. "There are now 5 times as many business and personal jets on the ramps today as there are commercial airliners. This causes the congestion" is the biggest one. From a frustrated flyer's point of view, this is a good point! But Let's look at this realistically. 1. People that own these Jets many times buy into them for the Sole purpose of Not crowding the Airspace. You can get into tiny little airports with them -easing the Problem. 2. NOBODY with one of those Jets flies it like the Airlines do. A commercial airliner is going to make easily 3 runs a day, 5 days a week, minus maintenance. A 737 lands at La Guardia, drops off it's 300+ heads, picks then next few up, and off it goes back again into crowded airspace. Farmer McBrown with his 172 or even Richie Rich with his Cessna Soverign are only flying maybe a few times a month, IF they are busy. I call bullshit. I consider myself a good Republican, but the stuff Bush is pulling now just makes me lose faith in him. We already pay taxpayer dollars to get Delta and Northwest into cities they can't afford to fly into without government $, (Like my hometown, Manhattan KS). =========Shaun ==========

I've only heard really good things about jumping and the DZ's in Ukraine. I need to save some pennies and see if I can make it out there sometime - surprisingly cheap jump tickets, especially for Europe. Would a non-speaker like myself have a hard time out there? =========Shaun ==========

Man, she just won't die!! Did you read the news this morning? She just lent herself 6.4 Million Dollars to keep on fighting. Well, her hubby (if you would call him that) managed to pull off enough last second turnarounds to call himself the 'Comeback Kid.'. We'll see what she pulls out of her ass. I would be all in favor of sticking a wooden stake in her and sending her back to the hell she came from, but it's up to the voters! =========Shaun ==========

Whadda ya mean you people??!?! Don't Forget Troy, you are one of us..... =========Shaun ==========

Yes. Yes we do. =========Shaun ==========

BWAHAHAHAHAH!! That's hilarious.I'm sure the sleepy lil' town of Wamego would turn their heads for that one. That stoopid Tulip Festival . Lol. =========Shaun ==========

I jest not, that is what they said to me in City Hall in February. Oh bless their hearts. I wonder if we'll get more attention next year after we fill up all the hotels and cram Pizza hut and the bars?!?! I told them I think this would be good for the business owners of Wamego, but, what can you say? It's not like it's going to be as big as the Tulip Festival. [/sarcasm] =========Shaun ==========

Are you going to be there Halder? Maybe you can convince Haliburton or Texico or whoever you work for to sponsor your trip! =========Shaun ==========

Doug. You and I have GOT to party together more often. I would like to have known you as a younger man..... =========Shaun ==========

Nah man - we arn't doing prepay - just trying to keep it simple. It'll all be taken care of at registration. I can't wait to meet you! A month and two days... =========Shaun ==========

I need to get my stimulation check. I waited and waited and I didn't feel a thing. =========Shaun ==========

I'll call rigger Joe tonight and see If we can pull some numbers on the balloon prices and feasability. I think having a balloon would be a great idea, we just need to see if we have the $ to do it the same weekend of the boogie. There are a LOT of really cool things we can do this summer at our DZ - Helicopter Jumps - Balloon Jumps - Water Jumps Into Tuttle Creek Lake, need one more old Rig.. - Paracommander day! =========Shaun ==========
