Well, I guess "that's the end of the story". I also see where Ed McMahon is circling the drain. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

He loves everybody, but is still going to condemn some portion to roast forever. And where does He get all these virgins that He is going to shower on certain people? That's a lot of virgins. Must have a huge stockpile of them in some sort of virgin warehouse. You are confusing God with Alah. Pretty sure the Muslims will tell you they aren't the same. And where does he get those virgins? Spencer's Gifts and Novelty stores in most malls $18.95, just add air. In the immortal words of my old skydiver friend Al Rosenburg, "If its inflatable, its dateable".

They had one of those at Skydive Dallas. Never knew when the doo doo water would start spraying and it would drench part of the landing area. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Don't know if yours is the same concept as the one we have, rather old, but the service I talked to about it said that as long as it drains/percolates in the manner it was designed it shouldn't need to be pumped out. If there was a problem with the tank, blockage, leaking, overflowing, then it would need to be pumped out for repair or servicing. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

I voted no simply because when I was in the military the draft was still in effect and the waste and incompetence witnessed everyday was just astonishing. The G.I. motto of the time was "the unwilling, led by the incompetent, to do the unnecessary". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

There's a show on the Travel channel in the US called "Man vs Food" in which this idiot goes to different restaurants around the country that specialize in menu items of galactic proportions of which he partakes and most of the time finishes. Some, if not most, of those items shown above sicken me as much as watching that show did. On the other hand, that meatloaf with mac and cheese looks quite tasty.

Oh, I've listened to Leykis quite a bit and really enjoyed the show but only from the standpoint of it being a work. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

If you buy what Tom Leykis is shoveling then professional wrestling must really get you worked up. It's just phony schtick that sells, or sold, millions in advertising and now that the USA is in the crapper, it doesn't. Leykis failed at several other radio formats before scoring with his "He Man Woman Haters Club" bit. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Damn Brice, would've been great to see you, maybe if it hadn't been 500 degrees in the shade that day we might have stayed around longer. I never knew Rouillard was at Lavon before Hartley.......shocking, just........well, just shocking. BTW, Rouillard's brother in law, Brian Stafford, stopped by the farm and spent a couple of days with us back in December. Brian doesn't jump any longer but now he's buying a new Road King. Mid life crisis type thing I guess. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

bwilling, my mind is probably hazy.......... yes, I'm sure of it but i digress. About the timeline of Rouillards DZs, I'm sure he moved from Hartlee Field to Lavon North around 1986 then moved to California after he left Lavon in about 1989. Did he operate at Lavon North before Hartlee then move back? 3rd Picture, is that Bobby Potter between Bobby Coker and yourself?

WOW!!! Tracy Moore RIP . The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Congrats on the self discipline. I'm 17 months cold turkey this coming Sunday and still can't believe how hard it was to finally quit. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

On our drive to Little Rock we stopped at Wal Marts in Blytheville, AR, West Memphis, AR, Forest City,AR and Brinkley, AR and could find no remaining camping/survival type gear whatsoever. Finally in Little Rock we were able to locate enough items that we could get along with some shred of normality back home. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Well finally!!!!!!!!! A day short of two weeks in Western Kentucky without power or running water. Power went out about 3:00AM on Monday 1-26-09 and came back on 5:30PM 02-08-09. Computer came back up yesterday As soon as power was lost, my wife and I drove five miles each way on glazed ice roads with tree limbs falling all around us to get the 87 year old Mother In Law who stayed with us for four days. We had a camping lantern, flashlights and candles for light, propane heater in one room, enough water for three days and the emergency supply of canned goods and whatever was in the freezer for food which could be cooked on the propane gas grill outside. Area wide there was no telephone service (land or cell), no e mail, running water (and all that implies :-0), gasoline, propane, kerosene or food to be purchased due to total power outage and icy roads. We lived huddled around the propane heater listening to what news we could find on the radio, listening to the constant gunshot sounds of limbs cracking and falling in the woods behind the house for four days until the roads were in fair enough shape to drive on and we could finally get cell phone service. My brother in law in Dallas called and offered to meet us in Little Rock with a generator and to take the Mother In Law with him. Well, off to Little Rock we zoomed with the Mother In Law in tow who was gladly swapped for the generator, much better deal for us by far. What luxury a generator affords, real lights, cooking on the two burner hot plate, refrigerator, etc. The next day the power came back on at the Mother In Laws's house and we could take the first shower we'd had in six days, wash clothes and relax in her hot tub not to mention a constant source for fresh water (boiled pond water really sucks). Could have moved in her place but our place is so far out in the sticks and we were such sitting ducks that we needed to be here to defend it against looters and other such rascals. Well, the power is back on and the clean up begins. Thank God, John Deere and Poulan for fire, the tractor and chain saws. Just the clean up in the immediate house area has taken two days of constant sawing, dragging, stacking and burning a pile of limbs that at one time was about as high as the house. Fortunately, there is plenty of room to do the burning. Still faced with months of clean up on the whole forty acres that makes up the "home place", not to mention the crop acreage that needs plenty of the same treatment. Can't imagine having to do this and hold down a full time job too. Retirement is such fun. Really can't say enough about how this little community came together and took care of each other. People taking in the elderly, guys driving around with generators running them at their own expense to keep other folks refrigerators charged, making sure there was food, water and heat available for those who had none, farmers with heavy equipment, at their own expense, clearing roads of the huge amount of limbs that blocked most, the National Guard who helped with road clearing, door to door checking on all residents of the county several times, passing out MREs and water for those that had nothing else. Still many without power, sux to be them. So far in Western Kentucky in the three years since we've lived here, we've been through Hurricane Ike, an earth quake, floods, tornado and now the ice storm. Think I'd rather endure all the rest at once than go through what we've just gone through again. Oh well, good practice for what's to come. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

No, Aero Country was/is about five miles West of McKInney, Tx. As a matter of fact, Roanoak is what I was thinking of when I put Rhome Airport in the DFW list. Thanks for the heads up. Aero Country is still alive and well as an airpark for current and retired Southwest Airlines pilots who are into warbirds and aerobatics. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

J, your mention of the map in Lewisville just rang a bell for me. When I was in Air Force basic training back in 1965, a guy in my barracks named Gene Burch, also from Dallas, mentioned making a jump with a group that operated out of Lakeside Airport on Lake Lewisville. The airport's still there and we made several demos from it with Remax. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Done, how long ago? The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Yep, that man really gets around. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Let's see, in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area alone the following DZs have come and gone since the late 50s: (Old) Grand Prairie Airport (Bobby Crump's place) Pilot Point ?????? Cedar Hill (Crump and Forest McBride) Alvarado (same as above AFAIK) Seagoville (Dallas Parachute Assn.) Mansfield ("The Limey's" place) Commerce (Forest McBride and ??) Aero Country Hartlee Field (Skydivers of Texas, Jerry Rouillard) Lavon North (Jerry Rouillard's 2nd place) Ennis (Slavo Mulik's place) Forney (Doc Linden's place) Rhome Airport (DZ later moved moved to Decatur) Decatur Airport (Skydive The Metroplex) Aerodrome (John Mitchell's place and the seed for Skydive Dallas). Skydive Texas Ranch (Tom Bishop's place) Gainesville (Forest Mcbride) Eagle Flight (Granbury) Those are all I know of off the top of my head. Please add to the DFW list if you can think of any others. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Pretty good, "Earthy" version of the Dead's "Ripple" if you can ignore the irritating kid taping it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3pEOHd-28o The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Wow Jumpwally, can't beat a copy from the original master by the original man can ya'? The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Hope so, however, it won't be from me. Ain't mine to upload. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Larry, great of you to add the info on the "Jump" video hope things are going well for you. I must say, I had forgotten what a good actor you are.

Probably got that sinus infection from those two unhealthy fat bastards you were sandwiched between on the plane you were stuck on and the fact there was no alcohol available to combat it. Hope you feel better. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
