  4. Thanks, Mark. I fixed the clicky in the original post as well. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
  5. With a bit of an assist from Wingnut, I have been able to set up a simple one-click access for donations toward the tent at PayPal, just click on that link and make your contribution. If you do not want to use PayPal but want to make a contribution, do as Sunshine and a few others have and PM me for a snail mail address. BTW, I think I need to put a few other things out there for you to consider: the tent itself is $495, we will also need some $ for a couple couches (they start at $45 or so, full sized couches go about $75 or so), and will also need power strips, tarps, and other paraphernalia. Some of these goodies are left from last year and the people who have them have stated they will bring them along, but we will need more if the tent is going to rock the way it should. BB will be assisting in the organization/setup after she gets her wind back from organizing the dz.com effort on Mem. Day in Perris. Details will follow as they are (sort of) finalized.

  6. Kate, you're letting the horror stories affect you too much. I admit I felt the same way when offerred a real good job there, but I worked it to my advantage. I got a nice pay raise, $1200/month expenses and a monthly round-trip to Montgomery (home at the time). I could use the trip or have Lynn come to Detroit -- after a very short time, we decided to have Lynn come to Detroit most of the time. Between the theaters, the great restaurants, great golfing and other activities, we loved it. Sure there were places we didn't go after dark, but those were in Montgomery, too. My only regret after a few months was that I didn't take the job sooner; Lynn even got a T-shirt that read "I'm So Bad, I Vacation In Detroit!"!

  7. Aha! Tracing that puppy back let me figure out what I couldn't get despite PayPal's (No)Help page. Thanks for the donation, Justin. For the rest of you who would like to use PayPal to help defray expenses for the tent, click here. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  8. Not really sure what sort of link I could use -- just use the "Send Money" tab and use my username here followed by @hotmail.com. Or if you're really lazy, I can bill you through paypal at your dz.com addy. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
  9. I wasn't drinkin' with you at that time, but I did lift my glass to ya earlier. By the time you posted your question, I took my toothache to bed -- gawd, I hope I don't have to go to the driller later... Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  10. I'll take a stab at this one: People who don't understand why people don't like someone seem to always raise the "jealousy" issue, it seldom is jealousy; in the case of Mr. Baumgartner, even I can understand the animosity. In his seemingly incessant need for publicity in a sport that shuns publicity, he has burned many a site and made it difficult for others to open objects anywhere near where he has trodden. He has done a good job of making a reputation for himself, only problem is that it has not always been a good one. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  11. The tent has been reserved again this year. If you would like to help with the $495 cost, PM or email me for payment options. I have a Paypal account, but I will also accept cash or check via snail mail for those who have had less than satisfying experiences with Paypal. Other donation options are subject to negotiation, i.e., make an offer and we'll talk. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  13. 18/17/387:0:0 Number of trips from the Spinnaker to the airport at Panama City/helicopter loading areas driven/bikers shooed away from loading area each day. No jumps, hence no beer owed. It was the first time I have spent this many days around active jump operations while healthy that I did not get a jump in, but if anyone thinks I'm going to buy beer for that, thay had best check which planet they are from, 'cause there ain't no force on this Earth is gonna make me!

  14. I don't know if I should bother doing this seeing as you didn't bother to introduce yourself to me even though I drove your ass all over PCB, but seeing as I am not one to hold a grudge: Pro Results -- (Top 3 as that is all I can be sure of) Team Overall - 1.

    I have seen many decks with a 55th card that doubles as an advertising card for the printer and has a list of the rankings of poker hands on the other side; some just have the poker hands and a regular card back.

  17. Negative, Ghostrider. Any print shop worth is't stuff will at the very least convert it to TIFF for printing. If you can provide a TIFF with high res, you can save a lot of hassle, i.e. time & money. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  19. So do Jump Shack (Racer) and Mirage. That's what TLML and I jump, respectively. She has a Safrie 149/Tempo 170 and I have a Safire 229/PD 253. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

  21. Why? Why does your rig have to have a smaller reserve simply because you went to a smaller main? If your rig manufacturer won't make a rig to accomadate the size of your canopies, maybe you had best change manufacturers. Do a search on this site for discussions about relative sizes of canopies, you may find some very interesting information. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  22. Hey Chris? Not that you're giving bad advice here, but you did notice that Mr. Trumpetfish is from the UK? I do believe there is a distinct possibility that he has regulations to comply with as to his progression, if not from the BPA, then from the DZs over there.

  23. My DZO had a new student rig that was really perfect for me, so I demoed it on jump 13 and bought it immediately. It served me well until I decided to downsize. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
