  1. In the wild, there are an average of 8 Raccoons per square mile. In the city, there are an average of 20 Raccoons per square mile. They go where the goods are. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    In case you were not aware, Alienware is owned by Dell. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  3. I apologize for jumping into this thread so late, but could someone help me get the facts straight? Andy relocated from UK to US on purpose? I was sure in light of actions by "The Decider" and his many evil minions, that we are still the most hated nation on the earth. So, why would Andy want to become part of that? Andy? Anyone?

  4. I have two words for you 'hair brush'. Make your cat perform for a 1-2 minute brushing once or twice a day. You'll have less hair ball issues, and a cat that will obey (to a degree) to get something that benefits you both. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  5. Yup, Snug will take good care of you. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  6. I wonder what kind of performance you'd get mounting a 420shp Allison turbine engine on one? BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  7. Ooo, Me, Me! Oops, nevermind. Sorry. I thought this was a roll call. BAS359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  8. USPA dues were only $18 when I first joined. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  9. One of the many DC3's at the 1986 Convention had a right hand door. I got 2-3 jumps out of it doing 16 ways. Yes, that left turn to the open door was a helluva switch for a guy with hundreds of conventional DC3 jumps. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  10. I used to make a joke and call it USelessPA. Seems I picked a good time to NOT renew my membership. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  11. WOW, loaded is right! That's BASE Number 1. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  12. Yup, had my first Motorola PageBoy II in 1977. and had a pager as recently as 1997. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  13. Can you suggest anything to avoid water ingestion in heavy rain? BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  14. FJ-1975 GW2668-1987 BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  15. Although I don't do it anymore, I have jumped with an AK47 shorty, 200 rounds of ammo, large knife, larger knife and side arm, to 'handle' any problems I may have encountered on the ground after landing. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  16. The first time I saw Art, I was getting on the Otter with a bunch of Japanese students. He boarded the aircraft barefoot, with a camera helmet on, and about 6 inches of wild hair sticking out all around. It was mid-December. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  17. His name was Art. Don't recall his last name. It is quickly closing in on 10 years since that event. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  18. Roast chicken. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  19. The Cessna used in Fandango, N2673R, is a 1967 Cessna 182K BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  20. Well, since it's almost over, and there were so few involved to rat each other out, I guess it's OK for me to ask... Anyone gonna bring up a small group sneaking the Cessna out of the hanger after midnight for some unmanifested night loads? And the pilot not wanting to get busted using the radio to turn the runway lights on is OK too, until the landing light burns out, and the landing has to be done by sense of smell! Well? BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  21. So what will become of the oldest, skydiving Twin Otter in the US? I have many sweet jumps from it at Cal City. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  22. Sponge bath. They don't mind if you use a wet cloth, and use the same action as a mama cat giving a kitten a bath. Might take a few cycles, but works well, no cat trauma, no human blood lost. Will make a sick cat feel better too. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  23. It is on my planet! BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  24. OFR5 BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  25. Ugh...I had 3 of those before 100 jumps. The canopy opens very fast and then you fall to the bottom of the lines...LOL. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
