Note: To Whom it May Concern Regarding: Air's Christmas Present Now available somewhere at 1/2 price and still 74 shopping days to Christmas. I had never heard of this watch. I was looking for something else and stumbled on this 2001 article in a search that I did. The WWW is an amazing place. ~AirAnn~

Life-Saving Watch by Geza Szurovy January 2001 The Robb Report, Magazine for the Luxury Lifestyle Nick of Time- On a storm-swept day deep in the Alps last June, a Swiss army parachutist on combat exercises missed his safe landing zone and injured his leg upon coming down in rocky terrain. Immobile and lost amid the peaks, he might well have perished from exposure had he not been wearing the right watch for his predicament, the Breitling Emergency. Cool as a Tom Clancy hero, he pulled out a tiny antenna on the watch, activating the built-in microtransmitter. Within hours his comrades homed in on him and returned him to civilization. It was the first life saved by the Emergency and probably not the last. The Breitling Emergency, which has been on the market in Europe for several years, has finally won approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration as an emergency locator transmitter and is now also available in the American market. It is a breakthrough in consumer microtechnology. No larger than a standard wrist chronograph, it features a tiny radio transmitter that sends a continuous distress signal on 121.5 MHz, the international emergency frequency, when activated. The frequency is continuously monitored by rescue services worldwide, which then will track the signal to its source. The signal has a range of about a hundred miles, can be picked up by satellite, and stays on the air for a continuous 48 hours. For military aviators there is a version that transmits on 243 MHz, the military emergency frequency. link for above Get ur own... for $4150. Breitling Emergency Mission watch also called a BACK UP SURVIVAL INSTRUMENT FOR PILOTS. the site mentions this and you may want to take note of ... Only 74 Shopping Days until Christmas 2003! I just had a vision... via no fault of my own I land off with my good looking friend, I signal for my drive by with my coolio watch transmitter then wink at my friend who produces a vial of shaken not stirred Martinis! ... Our strech limosine ride shows up just as we emerge smiling from under the parachutes all hot and sweaty... ...I dont know where that came from... Jane Bond I guess... ~AirAnn~

Congradulations to Helen for making it another day living with you!! just kidding How wonderful for you to be able to talk to a person who saw history that we read about today. Born 1910 and interestingly enough - October 11, 1910: Former President Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first presidential personage to fly in an airplane (out of Hartford Connecticut) Seriously, the above from today in History. Click ME This is for Oct 11, now scroll to 1910 and get the above note. ~AirAnn~

Heh, I am not even posting my horror-scope. It would be proof that astrology is not bullshyt. It basically says I have to clean the toliets today and I talk too much. Doh!

Super Otters here, there &... that 3rd DZ I forgot what they have. A few years back and with different owners it was the "Point Break Plane". (It flew fine when I was in it.) I believe its a Cessna DZ now. Skydive Houston's Otter is the prettiest one I have seen. ~AirAnn~

Ahhh, at the DZ waiting on sucker holes. ... I have many fond memories of major trouble we used to get into while bored at the dz.... (Not me, I was just there). The all time favorite award goes to SuperDave. The first winter SpaceLand had and a raining day, SuperDave butt surfed the standing water on the landing area with a controllable kite. He butt surfed the entire landing area on a north wind or two. He ended up the surf by hitting a crawfish hole and doing some filps over by the far southwest pond. Seriously, our sides hurt from laughing. Anyway, I will catch up with you. If not Brittany or Levin will bring you my suits. No worries on buying a suit right away if we can help it. Buying gear and jump tickets at the same time is stressful on a skydiver. Rainey Day Idea:: If that space suit fits (or not) we can rip it apart and use it as a base pattern. I have zero problem with that. I have tons of different types of velcro for legs, arms and neck. You buy the thread and [proper] material, come by the house and BAM you got a suit. Its just that easy. ~AirAnn~

I just like that statement as it stands. T-Shirt material, indeed. ~AirAnn~

Whoa I wonder how that turned out.... I find myself sitting crooked in my chair when looking at the photo. Maybe I can help with the guys landing if I sit in my chair just right. (I am bored over here and I dont want to do dishes) My above post remeinds me of this guy I know who was fun to watch as he watched football on tv. He would actually lean into each play they made on tv. As the 1/4back threw the ball the couch guy would go with it. As the reciever dude caught the ball he would lean into that. You could watch the couch guy avoiding the tackle people until the dude with the ball got hit. At that point, my couch guy would stop quick his leaning and then talk to himself. He also believed that a bottle of Jack Daniels positioned correctly on top of the TV would bring back the luck to his team. ~AirAnn~

ifics? of Skydive Houston..... Well, you are in luck my friend.... Would you like to try the suit? I also own the Tony stock freefly suit very much like the one in my avatar.... LOL. Both stock suits I own by total accident and its a long story. Ordinarily I wouldnt pick Tony suits as an off the top of my head freefly suit maker of note. I have a Kruppee and a black leather suit that you can try. The trouble with the leather one is that it adds about 15 pounds to your exit weight, other than that it is hot. Real hot. The maker and I took about a year on the plans... I totally forgot about weight. I was pouring all over the freeflying details and eliminating the snag factors. It was all done by emails, letters and drawings, so.... Read the Tony site description of the suit via the link you have and that is about it. It isnt baggy but isnt tight. The suit I have on in the avatar pic ... (I uploaded a better pic of the suit ).... its faster. Its my fastest suit. Its my favorite suit... the material is thinner than the Space Suit one. It used to be featured on the Tony site, but its been a while. Also the Space suit isnt exactly the 'latest'. I have had mine about 4 years. I have never seen anyone with a Space Suit other than me. I sit and I have had no problems with speed +/- in the space suit or in any suit so its hard for me to say whats the deal. I fly any of them about the same. Except the leather suit, thats going to be real different and I havent jumped it yet. I have a list of conditions I need to jump it and one is winter. The only time I did have a problem flying was when I jumped without a suit. I was added at the last second and I opted for the dive meeting instead of suit up time. We trained the exit with Trent in front and Levin on tail. It took me the majority of the dive to find my freakin air space. ... it was major suckage, funny, horrible and beautiful all at the same time. In the footage I am laughing my ass off. Zak really really really looked like a monkey, I swear. You can try any of my suits. They will be a very near fit. I am 5'8" so I need long legs. It could be if you really like one you are welcome to it. Except the dang leather one and that was comp'ed at $825. I can catch up with you at the dz sometime or send them out via Levin. I havent been to the dz in a long while so you havent met me, yet. I will save Levin the post - he will say get a Firefly. ~AirAnn~

Arg.. Good Lord..... I just flashed back to a moonless night and a walk with a giant black standard poodle named Bert. He was frekin huge, bigger than me, I must have been 11 or 12 yrs old. My parents were at a beach house party and I was the entertainment. There were kids there to hang out with but Bert was tha shyt. I got to take him out on a leash. Whaa Hoooo!! Well, Bert spooked the skunk and avoided the spray - I got it right in the face. I fell as Bert jumped at the end of the leash, enter Skunk encounter at eye level. It burned like hell and wouldnt quit. They put me in the sink with water blasting my eyes. I vidily remember my shirt being tore off and everyone was there looking. In short order, I was bathed right there in the kitchen with Bloody Mary mix.... then tomato juice, then, I think, they busted out the tomato paste Goldens are awesome. Mine was named Duke. I hope by now you are both couch side smellin good. In case anyone cares... a Giant or Standard Poodle is a bad ass dog for a lot of reasons. See attached. ~AirAnn~

Way back in the day- I worked for a father and son, One in a huge practice in Cincinati, Ohio and a 10 DC practice in Houston. The father of the first one was on the board at the TCC, Founded in 1908, Texas Chiropractic College is the third oldest chiropractic college in the nation and recognized as one of the very best. He beleived if you vision the parking lot filled then it would be. .... So the staff had to do that. I visioned a bunch of yellow big birds - it didnt happen. We also had to eat a macrobiotic diet. The dude in Ohio, didnt fake it or push it. He knew it worked for some and others not. The group of 10, were the biggest bunch of losers I have ever met. They may or may not have padded the billing for attorneys who did whiplash cases. I bailed. After 22 years in the real medical field I have come to know that if you BELIEVE that something will help or that it IS helping then it will. Manipulating a spine or cervical spine is tricky. Especially if you have a blown disc. No twisting is going to make that go away. Later I worked for a super well respected Orthopedic group in Houston. I saw wonderous things there. The only thing that worked for some situations were titanium rods and fusing the vertebra together. I saw people who shouldnt be able to move - walk. Our back specialist would stand and operate for more than 9-10 hrs. Dude is totally awesome. Anyway- if you believe it - it may work. ps - the current president of the TCC is from my home town and I know him to be a real good man. I have known him even before I was born. He gave my mother (preg) some twists when he would come to the house. ~AirAnn~

Thanks for the cocktail recipe. I will keep these in mind for when I want to go out of my mind. ~AirAnn~

Ah, Dove there you are Girlfriend. Its been too long. Good to see you here. ~AirAnn~

SEVEN million? Does he have a shower curtian that cost $6000? ~AirAnn~

Skydiving is one thing, landing is another. I have been hurt, but only little things. Concussion, face shredded, neck sprain, shoulder sprain, sprained ankles, wrist sprain, broken tib, ankle bone and 3 long bones of the foot, 3 scars on face from fingernails. I had a painful Exit injury I will never forget. I have a medial meniscus tear and some tiny feet scars from sharp blades of grass. The thing that hurt the worst was chipping my camera housing. I personally blaze trails. If I look back at my own personal carnage then it would slow me down and I hate that. I do not ever remember anything stopping me from a thing because of the hazards that may occur. ~AirAnn~

Here is my own personal rule on truth vs not the truth. I tell the truth because it is fact. I can remember fact. If I make something up, I may not remember it. I have a horrible memory. Therefore if an event remains the same I have no worries and no guilt. Besides, you can seriously tell from my face a mile away if I am lying. Sometimes a little editing is ok. - Do I look fat in these pants? Answer- I think your blue ones look best. Its all about consequences for me. I like keeping my karma clean and my life worry free. CONSIDER THIS ... if he is your EX, let that shyt go.... He is occupying a space in your brain where the real estate is too valuable to be taken up by memories of a creep. (imho) ~AirAnn~

I am sorry David Lee got hurt. But... He hurt me one time. I was minding my own business. Sitting in the front row of a small venue where they, Van Halen, were performing. My knees were pressed against the stage. I had my hands on the stage just jammin away and wink-winking at the bass player. (I love bass players, dunno why) I was grabbing his picks he threw my way. (he winked back, I got 3 picks) AnyWay- David Lee Roth stepped on my hand full force. I looked up and Lo... there was the Dudes package. Huh... I cant remember much else. I likely wouldnt have remembered the entire concert if it were not for him stepping on my hand. ~AirAnn~

I am not sure on Tattoos yet... I am still thinking. My Dad always said (against for sure) that if a guy has a tattoo it proves he has been drunk at least one time in his life. I have a medium size nose ring with a sparkle thingie on it and some other standard piercings, tounge, and belly. The peircing 'parlor' has many examples to look at and I have seen many girl tattoos. Yet I have not seen one that I can say - - Bam! ink me, Baby. ...then there is the spot.... dunno... more research is required as well as a pile of antibiotics and pain relievers. My Dr feels like I am a unique individual. So, the first time I went, I explained Dude!, I am going to.... peirce.... and I need ..... and that was it. > Off I went. (As Doc stood there shaking his head.) I am under the impression the tattoo artist will not ink you if you are drunk. Could be the alcohol makes the site bleed more. (?) I dont drink so this wont be an issue. I am thinking at the moment... there is only one spot that could be considered, and that would be the tiny triangle whereby my thong bathing suit goes in the back. (Not to be confused with the lower back.) This is a small area.... I do know I dont want some stupid girlie butterfly or dolphin or Mickey Mouse. I am not really a girlie girl. Yet, I dont want a snarling bull dog with a dagger in his head either. So the search continues. Actually, Id rather my dog get the tattoo. If you can read this you better bring my fukin dog back to me at 555-969-6969, Pronto!! MuterFker or I will find you if it takes the rest of my life and I will kill you one body part at a time. Oops, off topic, soo sorry ~AirAnn~

I just cleaned mine. Took 4 hours. It was not horrible, I just wanted it organized and nice. I cleaned it with 50% Clorox and water. Damn near burned my nose hairs out. My eyes were watering. But now, open heart surger can be performed in there. ~AirAnn~

yeah, Levin gets all. House, car and Skeeter. I know he still will not clean the pool and I have a good $5 bet on that. I have a brother and think he will maybe get a portion. But I am not to excited about that. We can not get along. Unavoidable, sad, but true. My dependents are my dogs. And there is a good size provision on their care. Especially Skeet, FleaFlyer and Olav ZipsTer. I want Skeet and Flea taken very good care of. And I want ZipsTers super cool bad ass mohawlk maintained. ~AirAnn~

My first was nearly identical. I couldnt get one toggle down and my spin cycle was seriously very harsh. My canopy looked like a fukd bowtie. I didnt pack it. I didnt know I was supposed to keep handles. It was a long time ago. Regarding the handle check. The statement "They are still there" (handles) I hope that is kind of a tasteless bad joke and not seriously indicating you dont need really to constantly check them. The more I think about that, it irratates me. At 80 - 120 jumps, when I had mine. That check and recheck and the drilling of the drill, saved my life. Repacks here are $45 and quickly approaching $50. ~AirAnn~

Annoying for 2 days- Stepping on a big staple and then having it hurt worse than a normal skydiving incident. Being wimpy. ~AirAnn~

Cool Pammi! I was going to mention somebody I know bought a ring with skydivers doing a two way that wrapped around the finger. I have not seen it, but I am thinking there couldnt be a cooler ring. If I were picking engravings on his ring ...if you can read this - you are in trouble ~AirAnn~
