Just an echo of all the sentiments already. Great going, Bill. I bet that is a very different feeling to know that you actually saved someone from possibly bouncing. Wow. Hats off, Bill. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Phree: what software are you using to display the video feed on the site ? Keep up the good work ! The internet is too freakin slow here to so any type of movement. Oh well. It is great just to see some of it. Thanks. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Sweet !!! :D Does anyone know what the plane lineup is going to be ? The website hasn't been updated since March, and I was thinking it may have changed. Anyone know ? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Great photo ! Man... I hate SNOPES. Mr. Snopes always has to ruin all of the fun. Heh heh heh. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

This reminds me of the thing that was going around six months ago about "what would Jesus drive?": http://www.highrock.com/personal/WWJD/ Funny stuff. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Yo Dave ! Man... I have been out of the site for awhile and now you're doing this ? Seems like the last time I was on here, you were jumping with pumpkins on your head and was trying to scrape up a canopy every weekend. heh heh heh ... TONS of congrats on getting the tandem rating and doing all of that. I'm sure you're living your dream a little more know, eh ? Keep it up, man ! http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Hey folks: Laura got her schedule and it looks like she'll be off for the weekend, but is working on Monday. However, that means we'll be able to hit up the boogie. So... who is going to be there ? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

http://www.jumpinduo.com/skydiving.htm Photos and videos to keep you busy at work. Just doing my part. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

I guess thats just too difficult for some..... Yeah... that IS asking too much. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

How about you leave the women's forum to the women ? Doesn't that just make sense ? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Am I missing something here?? You're the second person to make a comment like this -- keep in mind there were 3 jumpers, the other 2 made it down just fine so what does "caseing" it out have to do with anything in this scenerio? You can case everything out you want to - it could be a 1000 foot tower and you could still have issues. Maybe i'm missing something I know. Rethought and edited. Thanks. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

The Shoreline Fire Department responded, and Lieutenant Michael Ryan climbed the tower, slid down the wire and lowered the man to the ground. Wow... hats off to Mr. Ryan for that. As for the guy who got snagged... it happens. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Wow. That helmet is very cool looking. Looks like they are doing a good thing by putting the cut away option up there. It beats making your own if you aren't very apt to those types of things. Congrats ! http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Well... as far as the weather goes, it is hotter than the bonfires of hell here. Today, we grabbed a bite to eat in a place that had A/C (a rarity, to say the least) and then walked back outside. It was that feeling when you preheat the oven and you open the door to stick the food in and accidently put your face in front of it... times one hundred. LOL Anyhow, I won't make it up to Barcelona on this trip, nor will I have the time (nor energy) to jump in Madrid. The DZ there is over 30 minutes by car (according to their website). So, I'll probably just hang out and wait until I get back to the States. I have two more days of classes... well, tests. It is going to suck royal balls. Have a good one all. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

The Almighty Sangiro has a very nice BMW bike, I believe. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Ehh... don't log off on my account. It is probably my end. These Spainards can't get anything right... let alone the freakin internet. Sheesh. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Yep... I have both of those. Even the Troubleshoot page says v7.1 is sufficient to view the webcam. Maybe it's a codec issue. However, I am setup to auto download. Weird. This sucks. I would love to see WFFC from over 4000 miles away. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Yo Phree: What was the fix for the "ready" tag showing ? It gives me that, but when I click PLAY, it tries to connect again and then goes back to "ready". Thoughts ? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

But it's a DRY HEAT !! LOLOL http://www.brandonandlaura.com

I looked at the other 4 DZs listed and they didn't look too much better. But, a DZ is a DZ. I also looked through ALL the other listings for Spain and there is NOTHING around here. I am in the Montana of Spain. Sheesh. They are all in Eastern Spain close (relatively) to Empuriabrava. That sucks. There is one down by Seville, where I'm going, but I'm not going to jump student gear from a 182 in 115F weather. No thanks. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Did you click to the next page ? Our Beech 99 that was supposed to replace the Twin Otter during May and June will not be ready to fly in time, we therefore have to close the DZ on April 28. Sorry ! The DZ will open again on October 4. How communist... er... socialist is that ? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

I went through all the listings here on DZ.com, but didn't come up with much. Oh well. I really dont have time anyhow or my rig. Blah. Oh well. Next time I'll have to remember to study in Empuriabrava. Can you say "absent from class" ? Off to check the USPA site. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

There's AT LEAST one KICK ASS DZ in Portugal as well. May be closer to you. I may have to check that out. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

What's up Clay ! Long time, no see. LOL Yeah.. I wish I could head up there. Between class five days per week, several obligatory excursions and being on the other side of the country of Empuriabrava, I won't make it there. I didn't bring my rig out of sheer lazyness. I figured there would be plenty to do here. Boy, was I wrong. BTW.. you'll have a PM coming your way. http://www.brandonandlaura.com
