  1. hey, Seb ust called me and said that he won't be at the seascape tonite. since no on else has said anything, sarema and i won't be there, either. we'll just go straight to the DZ tonite. see you there. rob and sarema Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  2. Alright, Sarema and I will be at the seascape tonite (friday) from around 7pm until 9 or 10. we'll give anyone that shows up a nice, comfy ride in the RV back to hollister. that way you can leave your cars for driving back on saturday. if you talk to us real nice, we might even let you rack out tonite in the the extra bed up front! hope to see a bunch of you there. hey seb, pm me with your phone number, please -rob and sarema Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  3. If this comes to pass, Sarema and I might swing by seascape with the RV on the way to the DZ friday evening. That way we could check out the LZ and ferry a bunch of people (like 6 or 7) to Hollister so they can leave their cars at seascape. Seb, let us know if you want to do this. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  4. Thanks for taking one for the team, Flip. I'm working on getting the Swedish Bikini Team to help you out. Looks like we might be able to get everyone on the load who wants to go, now. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  5. Flip, dontcha have to make 25 jumps in a row and land within 2 meters of a USPA BOD member or something to get your PRO rating? Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  6. Since I don't want a new Rob-shaped dent on your hood, I will take your advice and refrain. but boy, did I have some good comments ready. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  7. I'm pretty sure that's a picture of you holding bear, Andy. Looks like Sarema decided to spare us the pain and cropped out your head. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  8. andy- don't you recognize sarema's avatar? do you know who that is holding bear? Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  9. Ah, Seb. the memories. my first two bikes were 450 nighthawks. wrecked 'em both. now I have a Suzuki Katana 750 that I don't ride enough. have fun, wear leathers, and don't wreck. oh, and don't ride with Peter, either. he's a lunatic. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  10. White bus. I think I qualify as ancient, so I can get a seat, then, too. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  11. in theory, we can comfortably transport about 7 or 8 people, including the driver, but The RV only gets EIGHT MILES TO THE GALLON it is not useful as a transporter. we drive it to the DZ and PARK it. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  12. RV won't take all 14 people plus ground crew, sorry. guess we'll all have to take the deathtrap back to the DZ. If we survive the trip back, we can all have magaritas made with the RV's blender, though! Olé! Maybe I'll just jump my birdman suit and fly back from Aptos to Hollister. Kath, who do you have CC#s and confirmations on? Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  13. Vegas one weekend, DC the next; geez you get around (i mean that in the non-slutty, airline-travelling-kind-of-way) Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  14. why not, Liz? please tell me you don't have anything better to do? Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  15. I'm a little skittish after my balloon jump at Rantoul where they told us 5 minutes before we jumped that we were "on our own for a ride back to the dz." luckily, a bunch of us landed together and a farmer took us back to the DZ. getting stranded away from the DZ with no beer = sucks Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  16. Off of Seb and back on topic... who's coordinating this whole thing? where, exactly, are we jumping? do we have a ground crew all lined up? who are they? have they ground-crewed before or it is going to be poor little Liz with a beer in one hand and a windsock in the other freezing her ass off on the beach? how are we getting back from the beach? -- please tell me we're gonna use something other than the brown deathtrap ( i mean "van") picky picky, i know... Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  17. Well, let's go to the instant replay, Seb. I still have the video, so... (rewinding) yup, yup, it was Bear licking your enormous plastic boobies. Thanks for playing. and now a word from our sponsors, Crown Royal. "Crown Royal, offical sponsor of creeper races everywhere" Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  18. well, if you follow the "rule of skydiver thirds" 2/3 of the skydivers who say "count me in" will actually show up 1/3 of the skydivers who say "count me in" will hose you. so, if 20 people say "count me in", only 14 will show and we'll have a full king air... The correlary to the "rule of skydiver thirds" is the "make them pay upfront" rule. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  19. F*ck the otter. have some DZ loyalty, Seb! besides, the King Air climbs faster. Faster climb=less time in the plane with Seb and Darren farting Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  20. First what? First beach jump? not me. First off-dz jump? not me. First time fruit-looping Andy? maybe. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  21. What he said The mighty Kath has spoken. Put your money where your mouth is so we can make this load GO! Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  22. Hey SwoopyCritter, you suck. All the cool aliases were taken. That's it, I'm not gonna dress you up in that leather skirt you like so much anymore. that'll teach you some respect, young man. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  23. sorry, KerMor, but french licences don't count for demos in America, so you're out of luck!! :-) only american D licenses like Sarema and I have. (j/k -- in reality i have no idea if this is true... Peter? is it?) Seriously, though, Renaud, make a count and see where we stand. somebody's gotta make the call and you're the appointed organizer!! However, if you don't pick Sarema and I to go on the jump, this here kitten will die! (in addition to saving this innocent kitten, Renaud, there's a bunch of Crown Royal and a jump ticket in it for you if you pick us) BESIDES, I just called Kath at manifest and gave her my info and $$$. Remember... Money talks and Bullshit walks. Blue skies and see everyone this weekend. -rob Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
  24. [whining] Hey, how come you guys never invite Sarema and Rob? I know we live like 2 hours south and we only come out once a month, but we want to play, too!!! [/whining] We'd like to take the last two slots for the beach load if we can.... Renaud, want to email sarema and I to confirm? looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing our Rantoul experience (5,200 miles in the motorhome and 40 jumps apiece) Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
