Aside from Eloy over X-mas, yes. Derek Yaaaaaay, welcome to, believe it or not, freedom. Freedom from DZ horseshit, two hour drives each way to a DZ, the drudgery of forcing yourself to act like you still give a shit about instructing and freedom from your time never being your own. Free at las', free at las', thank Gawdamighty, we free at las'. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

That just prooves my suspicion that the "chicken fajitas" I had at the Lone Star Cafe in Grand Cayman were turtle meat. Just didn't quite "tast like chicken". The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Calling those who have jumped in Texas
usedtajump replied to AggieDave's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Was there in 83 or 84 for the TEXXAS 20 way meet and seems we used Spaceland's Twin Otter and a Skyvan that were brought in for the meet. Another time, don't remember when, for a boogie and it seems there was a T-Bo and the Skyvan again. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. -
Yeah you're right about those T-Bo engines. I made several jumps out of the T-Bo that Aggies Over Texas used to have and the first time I saw 50 inches of manifold pressure on the guage I figured that the shrapnel would be spectacular if one ever came apart. Man those engines were really wound up tight. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Christma$ $uck$. I hate reigndeer with red noses, goddamn snowmen with carrot noses and lump of coal smiles and those suck songs in the mall that you are forced to go to once a year to buy shit to give people that either don't need it or wonder if you are some kind of 'tard that thinks they would appreciate what you gave them. Other than that Merry fucking Xmas

QuoteI thought it was Less Nessman who dropped them from the helicopter.. "Les(on ground, reporting event): No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this! " The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Most interesting out landing?
usedtajump replied to Hazarrd's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not as much of an out landing as much as it was just landing somewhere you never expected to. Prior to this I had done several balloon jumps and usually landed far from the original launch point in some strange place and never knew who or what would greet you. Well, at Freak Brothers in 1984 on a jump in a balloon big enough to take six jumpers to 12500' we laughingly discussed the possibility of from that altitude landing in another state. We took off and traveled what looked like 10 miles or more away from the airport by the time we had reached 6000", however, at about 9000' the upper winds started turning slowly back toward the airport and by the time I exited at 12500 were almost directly over the airport. I opened at 2500' and landed next to my packing mat. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. -
Does the "Devil" still run that place? Stumbled upon it while we were riding bikes around the island and everything that old dude said had the workd Hell in it, E.G "Hello, how in the Hell are you, where in the Hell are you from." Still have my hat from Hell. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Went thru pretty much the same thing. She told me she wanted a divorce because we had no life together due to skydiving and I agreed. The day she left the house for the last time was the happiest day of my life. From then on, I was free to skydive anytime, anywhere and for as long as I wanted to without anybody to bitch about it..

That's what I've tried to tell anybody that would listen long before "DUMBASS" dragged us into this Iraq quagmire. Anyone that has substantial funds, unlimited time and no concern for their own life can cause unsustainable damage and loss of life for so long, so cheaply, that there is nothing that can be done about it. Not that hard to figure out, why couldn't the powers that be figure that out? You'd think Robert McNamara was in charge again. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

Spent a year in Thailand long ago and it'll be like being on another planet for you for a while. The culture is really different but on the whole, it should be an enjoyable experience. Where are you going to be? The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

I once took an 86 year old guy on a tandem and he did great. The first comment he made after opening was "OOOHHHHH fuck, I wish I wasn't so damn old, I should'a done this years ago". He was a great guy and his 84 year old wife was very impressed with him after we got down. When they left the dz, they walked to the parking lot hand in hand.

*** The principal context of all 'safety meetings' during the 70's... "You wanna have a Safety Meeting?" "Sure...got any Twinkees!?" Damn airtwardo, I just can't seem to remember the context of any safety meeting I ever attended The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

New Skydiver's Question...About Reserve Chute

Yep Sad Sue, Texas has had a woman governer and Dallas, where I live has had a black man and two women mayors in the last 10 years. Don't think we've ever had a washed up bad actor as governer(two in CA) not to mention a wannabe Nazi that hasn't learned to speak proper English in 40 years. Let's see, The Manson Family, Hillside Strangler, Symbanese Liberation Army, McDonald's Massacre, etc. Christ, you must be proud. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

I had jumped Cowboy's Caravan at Freak Bros a month before the crash and was very uncomfortable with the way he hung that thing on the prop after liftoff. I thought then that if the engine quit there would be no chance of recovery. I have always wondered if, when the engine did actually quit, was the aircraft similarly hanging on the prop and if it hadn't been, would the outcome have been different if there had been ample angle of attack for at least partial airspeed recovery.

Having attended several boggies at Cooledge in the early and mid 80s, primarily the Halloween boogies, it seemed that the crater tours, the go in stories, etc. were, for the most part, not conducted by anyone who was actually there when any of the events actually happened. Mostly the information was more legend which had embelished every time it was passed down to newer jumpers. Sure contributed to the Halloween atmosphere, though. Damn what great times.

A Beech 99 huh? Is it a permanant fixture at Aggieland? That's quite a find and if it's like the ones I've jumped, they climb at an incredible rate. Very impressive. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.
