Get back to work, Dave! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I'll second that emotion. If you can make it to WFFC, we will be sure to give you many hugs. I'm going to be single at WFFC and all I get is hugs?!?!?! Dear, by "we" I meant The Lovely Mother Lynn and myself. Hugs are a good place to start. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

There are many people in the military who do not care for fighting and are not required to fight, Dave. Are you going to tell the military clergy that they don't deserve their money either? Kris Kris and Dave, here is a quote that was in the Florida Times-Union next to his picture: "Ultimately, it's my fault for joining in the first place.

Touché, Jack. But if you want to get specific, based on our ages, my toys are a whole lot newer than yours. Kris True, but seeing as mine are antiques, they are worth a great deal more than yours!

Hey, I remember you! You guys came to Skydive Flagler beach and your dad did a beach jump, right? Or was it you? Regardless, welcome to dropzone.com. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

We are not the ones who are here to cause trouble. Any trouble you have had has come from your own immature actions. If you are willing to keep a civil tongue and not insult our choice of recreation/lifestyle like you did in other threads, and abide by the four simple rules HH has laid down for all of us, I think you will find us more than helpful. It's the old saying that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar; I think you will find that applies here quite well. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Quade, given this person's short, abrasive history on DZ.com, I don't think he needs to be given the benefit of the doubt. He has already shown that he will talk but not listen, and until he apologizes to HH and the mods for his actions on the Women's Forum and his futile attempt at multiple usernames, he can go suck eggs.

Brian Still continues to make parachutes Yes, and Phree is well aware of that. I believe his point was those were all that were made under the aegis of Airtime Designs. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

In the womens forum, he told us that he didn't pass his second static line jump at Eloy, because he couldn't find his ripcord. Eloy != StaticLine != Ripcord. Do the math. _Am Speaking of the Women's Forum -- did you see his latest antics over there? This oxygen thief made repeated posts (unwanted and unwarranted) to the extent that SkyBytch first warned him, then locked him out. He then posted under his "other" username, so Lisa deleted the content of that post; finally he registered a third username! HH said enough was too much, permanently locked out his original username and the third and told him to watch his ass or it would not be welcome here at all. How to win friends and influence people.

If you're not really serious about skydiving, why are you doing it? Seriously, I think you had best take stock of why you are putting yourself into a dangerous sport when you're not serious about it. One does not have to have designs on being a world-champion skydiver to be serious about it; if you're only into it to say "been ther, done that", you and we would be better off if you just did a "tourist tandem" and went away. Complacency can kill you, neither you or the rest of us need that. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

That sounds like Pudge. "Pudge" was the name given to a canopy I used to own, a Spectre 210 , Cobalt w/cells 3 & 5 Turquoise. It was the one I was using when I hooked myself into the ground and shattered my femur. I put it up for sale as i knew I would need a larger canopy when I got back in the air. A friend of mine decided to demo it and on her 19th or so jump on it, failed to flare and broke both her femurs. After that it went out to Square One and was sold to someone. I haven't heard if it had sated its lust for bones or not. Any help here, Lisa? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Got to google and do a search on rec.skydiving for Dan Rossi. He is a skydiver with several hundred jumps. He is totally blind and has been since before he started to skydive. The best way to search for him is to use his signature line "Flare when you hear the crickets"; his stories are among the finest reasons to wade through the detritus at wreck daht. His sense of humor and his skill at telling his stories place him high in the pantheon of people in this sport I really want to meet. Irresponsible? I think not. Irresponsible is placing one's expectations and values on another's decisions in life with no consideration. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

I absolutely love my Crater Suits from Body Sport! I have gray/turquoise one of all polycotton for use when doing "serious" RW, and one with a polycotton body and "fun fabric" on the arms and legs for doing fast RW and hybrids. At one time I had a third, in all black. Why the fork I ever got a black suit while living in FL I have no idea. It is still being flown by a jumper in Nevada. The suits are very well made and the wings are figured for your size and desired RW speed. I have been jumping them for 6 years now and have no qualms about them. Heck, my fast suit is a replacement for the one I had on when I bounced at Quincy! It survived that landing intact, and my friends got me out of it before the parameds could cut it off, but I really used the heck out of it and had to replace it. The fit has been great from the get-go, just be sure to get measured properly (as SkyBytch has stated in another thread). They keep good records; when I ordered my second and later suits I just told them what color/style and they arrived pronto. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

0:0:0 Beautiful day yesterday, but TLML decided not to jump because the leg straps would have gone over her huge bruise, so she decided to sit the weekend out. Did go to the DZ and spent some time visiting with our friends, esp. PLFExpert. Was going to go this morning as we had a number of tandems scheduled, but the weather was terrible.

Yes, it's on the old Chanute AFB. We drove from Jacksonville's north side and made it in a little over 15 hours actuall driving time. We'll do the same this year, leave when Lynn gets home from work about 1500 and drive to somewhere around Paducah, Kentucky, pull into a rest area and sleep, then finish the drive the next day. Works great. Just subtract the distance from Jax, FL to your place to figure out your drive time. It is interstate all the way to Rantoul, and that really makes it handy.
