YEE-HAA! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Sorry, dude. Is this another case of AIDS (Altitude Induced Divorce Syndrome)? Keep your head down and your feet up, except when you're on the ground. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Clay, I'll go along with that last sentiment (to a degree). But I have noticed, and studies have come to the suprising(to some) conclusion, that as a whole, the skydiving population is more intelligent than the general population. That being said, I have two points I want to emphasize: 1) Most people seem to have missed Lisa's point that while it is incumbent on gear sellers to police what they sell and to whom, they are not the only ones who should act responsibly when recommending gear. Instructors, DZOs, S&TAs and experienced jumpers as a whole should be exercising better judgement in this. Her rant was dirrected at kevin's article that seems to lay all the blame on the gear retailers. 2) Don't come to me if Lisa rejects a sale, I won't be anywhere near as nice as her when I tell you where to go. Having both experienced and witnessed bounces, I don't have the patience she does. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

According to the WFFC website tonight, all tents on Drop Zone Row have been sold and numbers have been assigned. Our tent is tent #8. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you in Rantoul.

0:1:0 Would have had more than one in the second column, but: Finally, after 4 straight weeks of being weathered out got up to blue skies on Saturday. Get out to the dz and find out Tara is not working in manifest. Ordinarily, no problem, but her husband Bobby has my rig for I&R! Manifest nicely calls Bobby for me and he says "Ooops!". So we sit and watch jumpers have fun and wait for my rig to show up. Finally Bobby shows up and I manifest us.

Do I believe in ghosts, spirits, etc.? Guess I do. What follows is a post I made to wreck daht last spring. It was about a month after the RS Boogie at Sebastian and 2 weeks after Jan Davis had died at Lodi: Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Andy, You can just hold court in the tent and orchestrate the nig noggery! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

I did not see it at all yesterday or today. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Best of luck to you. The 19th of this month was the first anniversary of the day I became gainfully unemployed I wasn't with Worldcom, though; I was with the ever popular Computer Associates. Anyone need an experienced mainframe guru? Will work, but not cheap. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

You're both post whores! I reported this two days ago. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

A-freakin;-men! On my first jump at WFFC in '98 I was slightly short of my internded landing area, so I went for the "easy" route and landed between the rows in the soybeans near tent city. It didn't taked long to find out that beans have runners, and those runners just love to reach out and grab a passing ankle. Cheeky plants! No biggie, just had a few green stains on the jumpsuit, but they didn't show up much on black.

We're sending positive vibes from here. Our best to Keith, his family and friends.

HH, I like the new forums, but I have a couple problems I've not seen expressed here: If I try to access the forums from the top bar on the mail home, I get the white page with the "forum closed for maintenance" message. If I click on the Forum Control Panel, I get the message that the forums are closed while you migrate the data to the new system.

:: Dang rain... At this rate, I'll have to do a recurrency jump at Rantoul!

Actually, Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz had to be scratched from a start because of doing exactly that some years ago.Don't remember if he went on the DL. But this is one of the legendary weird "sports" injuries as seen on ESPN.

That is about the most sanctimonious claptrap I have read here yet. Go post anon on wreck daht and see how you will be ignored and or flamed. This is a fantastic site, but that does not make those who post here better people. Sorry to have to say that, but I have friends in both places (and have gotten good info at each) and some good natured bickering is one thing but the implications in that post really cheesed me off.

Fear not, they will. The convenience store will carry a nice selectionof beers and there will be several bars near the food and entertainment tents with usually a good selection. If you want something unusual or a favorite, it's a good idea to just keep a cooler on ice. Ice is cheap and plentiful.

We keep ours in gear bags in a nice compartment in the fron of our RV. Just perfect for two gear bags and 2 helmet bags. Our other kit (as our UK brethren say) is in a plastic bin kept in a storage compartment below the coach.

But Jess! If you are number 1, YOU get to give out the other numbers and decide who IS number 2. Not only that, you have the power to decide what qualifies someone for a number. You have awesome power.

Would love to -- I haven't really complained about the rain because we went through the wildfires in '98. Don't EVER want to experience that again! But I do have a severe case of ground sickness.

I posted this in the "WFFC Gathering Place" thread, but I know a lot of people do not like to wade deep into these things as they tend to drift off topic, so I'm making a new thread for all to check out. OK, folk. Just got off the phone with Judy at WFFC -- there will be a tent on Drop Zone Row with a banner "DROPZONE.COM The Virtual Dropzone". I am sponsoring the tent through my store, if any one wants to contribute to half of the $495 cost this would be fine, but I will not beg or make repeated appeals. I really want to have this place for us so am happy to pick it up. We will be arriving in Rantoul on the 1st, so will be there to help anyone who needs to get settled in. If you want to contribute, I have a Paypal account set up under jceman@hotmail.com ,you can PM me for snail mail or you can do as some have said they will and contribute at WFFC. Next. question -- who's bringing the couches?
