Shameless ***BUMP*** Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Yes, Tony! You should definitely check out Zhills! The sunsets there are beautiful! Lemme know if you need directions. Just a warning though - they already have a resident, kick-ass photog. Gee Thanks lady! Do you know how hard it is to get iced tea cleaned off a keyboard? I wondered who would be the one to point out the "duh" factor in this thread.

It is now just a couple minutes early, but I ain't letting this stop me. Happy Birthday, Lisa! Enjoy your day. And that is an order! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Guys! and Gals! Pleae, I know highjacking a thread is fun, but I'm trying to get something accomplished here -- please keep these "discussions" to themselves or find some other thread to hijack. Update -- no update needed because nothing has changed. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Actually more like 4% Kris. Remember the extras. Ok folk, here's your update: as of this morning we have about 10% or our goal (plus what Erk and Che will be mailing). The sooner we get close to the goal, the sooner I'll shut up! To answer some questions that have been asked in the past -- No, you do not have to contribute to the tent to use it during the convention; I keep no list public of who contributes or how much -- those who make an announcement on this thread do so just to be nice. I do not look to make any money on this deal, I am only seeking contributions from the dz.community to help the community. The Paypal link will show my business name, but the contributons go into a dedicated account for the tent and extras. Yes, I will accept contributions during the convention, though I prefer to have it settled long before so I can just have fun and be irresponsible during the festivities. (On the ground, that is, and only when we're done jumping for the day.) The tent this year will be large enough to have a good-sized packing area and a gathering area; I have plans to ask for at least two tables from the convention folks and would like to get a few other extra goodies if I get enough contributions. I'll leave it go at that for now. If you have any questions, please PM me or ask here if you think the dz.community would/should be interested.

OK, it's my daily (or so) update: We are at 2% of our goal -- remember we need $795 for the tent plus money for couches, etc. I have a contribution from someone who is not even able to attend, so thank him and do your part for all dotcommers who will be there.

I can only nod my head in agreement. To all of Paul's family and friends, our deepest sympathies. Chuck, be strong bro, we too love you. And Paul? I miss you, even though I never met you there is another hole in my heart tonight.

Not much I can add -- but coming after Lisa's post, this shows how messed up some people's heads are. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I just got done talking to Bernice from WFFC and here is the official word on the the tent: We will not be having a tent on Drop Zone Row. We've grown too big; we'd outgrown it last year in fact. Fear not, that doesn't mean we won't have a tent! We will be across the road from Drop Zone Row, across the little road from the Alabama Gang, in a 60' x 30' tent, the same size Mirage had last year. Those of you who were at the first convention in Rantoul will be familiar with the location as it is where we were that year except we will be in a tent twice as large as we had then. Primo location. Please consider this post as my start of solicitation for funds. Rev Jim has the links in his thread but I will add them here as well. Those of you who use Paypal can click here; if you wish to send your contribution directly to me you may click here to PM me for details. This tent costs $795 and we will need funds to purchase chairs/couches/etc to make our little home away from home a home. I will be begging until we get enough contributions to cover the tent (just like last year) then I will shut up and leave you in peace. Come play with us in Rantoul -- No, you do NOT need to contribute to the tent to use it, it is being provided for all dotcommers to have a place to meet and hang. I will not be making a list of who did/didn't contribute as it would serve no purpose, but I will certainly appreciate your help and so will your fellow netizens. If you have any other questions, please PM me. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

You mean there are any other kind? Of course most of the bad Canadian jokes are down here on I95 serving the same purpose as bacon bits in your arteries. Well, at least most of 'em are in the northbound lanes this time of year... Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

So how many jumps did you make? You brag about getting laid 16 times (not that I blame you), but the format is Humps:Jumps:Beers Owed. You've been aroung here long enough to know the format by now -- shamus/a/um. (Let's see how many of ya'll get that reference. Anywho, for me it's 600($ for golf cart repairs):1:0.

A get big Happy Birthday! to you from us, Lew. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

We just got off the phone with our youngest son; we called to wish him a happy birthday (actually it was yesterday, but they were out when we called then). Among the usual family news and discussions, he let us know that the mother of one of his good friends from high school finally succumbed to her fight with cancer just about 4 hours ago. She was always good to Chad and was a good friend to us as well; she served as our agent when we sold our house in AL and got the best prce we could have hoped for. There's another hole in my heart tonight -- will someone who takes part in JFTC please volunteer to wear the name "Patsy Carr" in her place of honor? Please?

Yeah, isn't he, though? I asked him today where specifically, he was going. He's wanted to get there for a long time. Weird, ain't is, an Army type going to an AFB? Those who know, know, though.

Not much help there, unfortunately, but thanks anyhow. He's looking for a realtor, his house in Raeford went on the market today and he wants to buy. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

No, Dee, it would be bad if you weren't proud! Congratulations to Greg. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I received an email from my oldest son late last night -- he is going to be moving with his family from Fort Bragg, NC to McDill AFB in July. He asked me if I could find someone who is familiar with a good realtor in the area, so now I'm soliciting your help. If you are familiar with the housing availability or know a good realtor, please PM me. Thanks in advance. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Sure, but it makes it easier to pull your slider behind your head to let your canopy spread out (that in conjuntion with loosing your chest strap) and that *does* increase the performance of your canopy. That I have noticed on a first hand basis. That's not the first time I've heard that statement and I still don't buy it. I have never had any problem pulling my slider down and stowing it behind my head with my Mirage and I have type XIII risers; it may have something to do with the huge grommets that Icaurus uses on their sliders, but it has never been an issue. Neither was it an issue with my previous rig, either with my Spectre or my Triathlon; if you have noticed this "issue" maybe your equipment was mismatched in other ways than riser size. The comment about it being a fashion statement is the only one I lend credence to -- mini risers look better on the little "day pack" rigs, big old school risers look far better on my whopping ole Mirage M7.
