  1. But But Sir Honest I was only applying for SS not TS you have me confused with someone else applying for a TS or SS. Why won't you believe me? where are you taking me? Where's my lawyer? I know people!!! R.I.P.
  2. Dave If we told you why Then "they" would know and start watching you
  3. Good luck with your canopy Practicing the skills on Bills list is a great place to start. But I assume that your doing these manevour's under ideal conditions and landind at the DZ. A bad spot , or ending up in a corner is going to take a cool head and experience to do the right thing on a canopy loaded at 1.2 to 1. Landing in the middle of the DZ no problemo. Try and pick out your landing area in advance, maybe the size od a large parking lot and imagine it's surrounded by obstacles. Be careful don't do anything stupid turn low , stall etc, and see how you do. R.I.P.
  4. IMO the DZ attitude reflects the personality, and priorities of the DZ owner or manager. It's their business, their staff, and they get to call the shot's. Jumping at a DZ with a good attitude is a definate plus, doesn't cost extra, and has good vibes for everyone. Shame about that damn bell curve. IMO your DZ is on the happy side.
  5. Hi Make it happen I think some of us "more experienced" (aka older) skydivers are just having a problem keeping up with the youth's. It's called reality, the demographics of the sport have changed from the poor vets going to school on the G.I. bill to better educated jumpers who have a better command of the english language and are willing to spend serious $$$. So the sport is going upscale The sport is going new wave. DRCP's are now practice pulls, pulling at 3500' is the basement for some of the youth's "because it's safer", old gear is anything made in the last century, Tunnel camp is a must. etc etc. Just wait until you reach your 35th birthday You'll really be out of touch. BTW congrats on your new world record, not bad for a young one R.I.P.

    Here's to you...

    Back at you Sangiro. thanks for the web sight
  7. Listen Up For anyone else now or in the future Don't do that shit! Please talk with someone! R.I.P.
  8. Hi Paige Which Bush you talking about R.I.P. I just want to see your Butt again
  9. Damn I'm looking out the window now and there is a car parked across the street "They" really are monitoring my internet messages. Those gov't people from the evil empire are real sneaky, . One is dressed in casual cloth's and the other one is dresseed in a... a.... OMFG a sheep costume We're dooomed! we're all dooomed! beware of the Gov't when they start dressing or looking like sheep. R.I.P.
  10. Worst I ever had was a guy wanted to lurk our multi pt 6-8 way. Ok stay slose but not to close. The dude decides to make our jump a rodeo dive with me as the horse. Stupid, out of line, poor judgement etc. First time shame on him second time shame on me. It's rare but it's part of the bell curve. R.I.P.
  11. Problems? That sounds like a well operating DC3 to me. Piston planes are great for burning and leaking oil every where. Nature of the game, Beech 18's are the same way. I have to agree see the wet spots where the plane with the radial engines was parked. See the plume of smoke when the engine's startup after the planes been parked for a while? We've heard stories of planes carry a 55 gal barrel of engine oil with a hand pump for aerial refueling That one might be a urban legend. Please don't chase Scott away. IMO He's entertaining. The bell curve in action. R.I.P. Q: When do you have to refuel the DC3? A: After you add oil to it twice
  12. Not if you want to upsize. Or broaden your horizons, I wonder if they let the guy go because it was consensual, or the dumb ass didn't want tp press charges. R.I.P.
  13. John If Big Brother is going to monitor your internet action they don't have to ask permission Why because it easier to get forgiveness than permission. Try typing in some Buzz words on the internet, wait a couple hours and look out your window
  14. Not good enough. Do you carry a company pen? It might be bugged. Drive a company car? you guessed it. Carry a company I.D. Card , They know where that card goes. Company doctor? The shot they gave you contained a micro chip. "They know" We'r doomed We're all Doomed R.I.P.
  15. Don't like GW traveling to florida for fun in the sun and some votes. Complain to the Governor of Florida
  16. You can extend that to politics in general. Exactly Like looking for love in a whore house R.I.P.
  17. Come on guys/gals This is politics During a election campaign the opposing sides will make everything negative about each other. There are no rules during a campaign. Remember nixon breaking into the Democrat headquarters, etc. Clinton know what sex was etc. Which politician do you want to believe? R.I.P. R.I.P.
  18. Hi DM Now that you've got all the good advice above to help you decide what your going to do.
  19. >>For those that have never been to a traffic court. GO. MY WORD there are some funny things said in that courtroom in front of that judge. Funniest part is the snickering and gasps from the other people in the courtroom when someone gets slammed with a hefty fine.>> Went to traffic court once. Can't remember why really. It was very entertaining. One guy got finedcouldn't pay so got a couple of days in the slammer. Some kid got caught driveing without a liscense so he showed up with his mom. After the judge got thru with them, the kid grabs the car keys from his mom and drives her home. Then there was the lawyer who got busted for DWI and represented himself. Better than judge judy. R.I.P.
  20. Hi Clay I don't know about you But I'm not man enough to tell Amazon she owes a case
  21. IMO it's a novelty jump at the WFFC we even got a DB Cooper # and certific to hang on the wall. The exit speed is a blast you actually slow down in free fall. Since the jumpers are exiting single file there's a distinct "whump" made for eaxch jumper as everyone on the pass shuffles forward the noise gets closer the line gets shorter the person in front of you disapears and you be gone. You hestitate, stop to think, etc your hosing everyone behind you. Been there done that. Want to try Mullins bird next. The Jump run will be strung out depending on the number of pass's the jet makes so take your cell phone and a pull up chord. BTW old skydiver saying. "Regardless of the size of the plane they will always load one more jumper than can comfortable fit in the plane"
  22. I tried on a "steel pot" for about 5 seconds. Way to heavy But if a person needs a brain bucket in certain situations I guess it was better than not having one. The bucket or the brain. R.I.P.
  23. Ever meet any sheep at a frat party? We were discussing it the other day in talkback. It seems to be a national ritual at some frats.. You can probably still join or become a house daddy for the little boy's and look after their flock. R.I.P.
  24. Hi Freeflir Sorry I have to agree with you. "Don't judge me until you've walked a mile in my shoes". There were more people killed on 9/11 than in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The situation we're in now is war just a different kind of war. We learn from some of our past mistakes. This time we haven't rounded up all men women and children from the middle east even US citizens that are living in the US and moved them into relocation centers. In the US the gov't isn't profiling certain groups, their hassling everyone. The "cold War" is over, the iron curtain is gone, we just have another challenge that we have to take care of. R.I.P.
