  1. I WAS regular army 1983 - 1987. Started jumping in 1989
  2. lol. I'm sure almost all of us can relate to the wish that someone or something would make our dreams come true for us. The truth is, however, that this is the real world and we have to make our own dreams come true. Took me 14 years to get my first new gear. Did it all by myself too :-)
  3. Love that Wonderhog logo :-) I ordered one on my new rig as well Still have 5 or 6 weeks to wait though. GAH!!!!!!
  4. Ivan said it :-) Couldnt have said it better. Work is a means to and end, not an end in itself.
  5. Are you a musician? I'm not trying to be smart by asking. Its often interesting to note the differing opinions on issues such as this one when one side of the argument is actually a musician and guitar player and the other is a music lover but not a musician. All opinions are simply that. Opinions. Mine are based partly on what I like to hear and partly on my own guitar skills and knowledge of music from a theory point of view and partly because I have listened to almost every piece of music he has ever written many times and literally examined them on a minute scale to adapt his style of playing into my own. Not many players out there can read music or understand theory anymore. They just play the dots or use tabs or play canned licks and have no real understanding of what they do. In this particular area I have made a point of "doing it better than the next guy" I guess this makes me a snob, but there is a lot more to music than just tearing off some fast chops, and unfortunately thats what most of the players today do. Satriani is a consummate musician from the ground up which has nothing to do with playing the guitar. This knowledge, combined with virtuoso technical ability and a phenominal ability to express emotion through instrumental means that is missing in almost all "shred" style guitar players, makes him one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Top 10 without a doubt In my opinion.
  6. And they forgot to add JTval too. Thats inconceivable!
  7. I'm not talking about the ability to write "catchy" tunes. Joe Satriani is a musician and guitar player, not a song writer. The question was not who are the top 10 greatest song writers or who has the best jingles, or even who is the most popular, but who are the greatest guitar players. Great is not defined by the ability to hum one of their tunes. In point of fact I can hum many Satriani tunes, but thats not the issue.
  8. If you dont know about them, how can you make such a silly statement? And it IS a silly statement. I've been playing for 30 years and I have never head someone better than Satriani. He is a true virtuoso both from a technical point of view and also from a music theory point of view as well. This man is a true musician, not just a lick-meister
  9. Any such list that doesnt contain Joe Satriani is totally without merit
  10. I cant vote. I dont see any Cessnas
  11. You could always skip college like I did. But then of course it took me till I was 38 to get a decent salary and even then I was very lucky and even then its only because I know UNIX rules and Microsoft sucks ass
  12. The main types are F-111 and Zero Porosity nylon. The Zero-P is more expensive and packs larger but also lasts a LOT longer.
  13. I wouldnt expect someone named "meatmissile" to be overly sentimental

    I'll vouch for that Sober works real well for me!
  15. These 2 are about the closest being about the same distance http://www.floridaskydiving.com http://www.skydivetampa.com About 80 miles approx. from Ft. Myers Dont know what you consider a huge drive but I'd guess these 2 are about 90 minutes Z-Hills is next closest after those two http://www.skydivecity.com About 100 miles from Ft. Myers PS. These milage figures are very rough estimates made by eye looking at a map of Florida I dont know anything about any traveling drop zones
  16. I think I was wrong. Looking for a closer one...
  17. My Dad lives near there. I THINK that Z-Hills is closest

    Justice?

    No more or less than he deserved. Would have been better to have him live a long life in prison being violated himself.
