0:2:? Finally got to jump at Clewiston and I love the Caravan (started at a 182 dz). I got to meet RkyMntHigh, who is very nice, and introduced me to some cool people.

Let's see: winded out at Clewiston today, but picked up my rig with a shiny new reserve closing loop. Since I couldn't jump, I decided to try hang gliding. Pretty cool stuff it I do say so. I can't afford two sports, though. Went to see "Hitchiker's Guide..." tonight; I liked the book better - the movie was uneven. Tomorrowing: boating depending on the weather. Then, flying to Tucson Tue-Thu. [Edited because I should be in bed] ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence

"feelings..." And I had to reach deep into the dark, dank recesses of my mind to pull these two squirming nightmares to the surface: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - William Shatner cover "Bilbo" - Leonard "Spock" Nimoy For those of you who have mentally blocked these, I am truly sorry. ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E.

What program are you in? I've been accepted into the Masters program in Space Science program. What do you think (really) of the school? I'll be down there next week checking out the campus and meeting with advisors.

Hey, murrays, I tried one on and the visor stopped against the outside edge my glasses frames. This kept the visor open about an inch or so. I also tried my spare glasses and my Rx goggles, but for me nothing worked. I had to return the helment . Too bad; it's a sweet looking helmet. Depending on your frames, I would recommend a helmet with a visor that's not as tapered. I was orginally looking at a Havok, but I was told they are noisy and pieces of junk. YMMV ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence

where any of you band geeks in high school?
derivative replied to futurehighflyer's topic in The Bonfire
You betcha! Started on trumpet in Jr. High, but I really wanted to play the drums. In high school, I played in: Marching Band (snare) Symphonic Band (a potpourri of percussion) Jazz Band/Show Band/Choir (set) Orchestra (see symphonic band) Also played in pit orchestras for outdoor theater and community orchestras. Now, i play my Yamaha 5-string (love the low B)! ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence -
Thanks! I was trying to think of a good avatar so I did a GIS on my DZ nickname, Willie (I know, I know ). The llama popped up and I thought it was an odd enough thing to fit my sense of humour - Willie the llama. And yes, llamas are cool! If I get up to DC, I'll definitely get over to Orange! I'll be in Florida all summer starting next Friday. Blues! ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence

What do you do when you have stuff on your mind?
derivative replied to WrongWay's topic in The Bonfire
1) Write (or type) it down in a journal. Then it's out of your head and on the paper. You can also come back and look at it from a fresh perspective. 2) Go for a long walk, or as other have suggested workout. 3) Call a friend and talk it out. In my opinion, this is the best option. ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence -
I'm right there with ya, brother! I'm working on switching careers from IT to renewable/alternate energy. There's a lot of very creative stuff out there.

But that's just if you burn hydrogen in an oxygen atmosphere. If you burn it in a car with "normal" air from the outside, you still get some NOx emissions because normal air is 78% nitrogen. However, these emissions are much less that what you get burning gasoline. ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E.

Is the Farm the DZ located in LaBelle? Iirc, that's only about 45 min. from where I'll be staying. I also plan to stop and jump at some DZs along the way so. I'll be going through Little Rock to visit a friend, then east across to Florida. So, if any has some good suggestions, I'd love to stop in. ...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence

Hey, everyone! I've been lurking here for a while, but I'm going to be moving from Kansas City to Cape Coral, FL for the summer and I thought I'd take the opportunity to say, "Hello". So, who here jumps at Sundance Farms? I'll be down in a couple of weeks, and I thought I'd make a trip over there.
