I haven't posted this year about our L&L society fundraiser yet but we just had out big raffle for our industry and we went over the $9000 mark for the first time in 7 years of raising money. Our total raised in 7 years we are over 45k my wife has run the Disney half the Honolulu marathon the Vegas century ride which was last year and was absolutly brutal. She finished the race when more 30% quit because of 20-30 mph head and cross winds and 90+ degrees but the team in training members that thought of quitting at the 90 mile mark were all taking and trying. To decide to keep going. Me and our pup walked over to my wife and the rest and reminded them what she would say during the training for her marathon. No matter how hard it was it would never be as and as chemo. When the crossed the finish line everyone was gone except the team in training members. Nothing except watching my children being born was as emotional powerful as watching my wife cross that finish line. Me and our pup chased her all day sometimes driving in front of her to let her draft off my truck when she was going straight up with head winds or when we parked and walked a 1/2 mile hill with her or we the course director tried to get her to quit or the ambulance driver who told her the editor of biking magazine rode the rescue truck back in. What she does is amazing compared to my part. All I do is beg beat up and manipulate my friends customers and suppliers to donate money and items to the L&L society. Of anyone would like to donate to our fundraiser let me know and I'll send you a link. Our like our company on Facebook superior cleaning solutions in Orem Utah and you can find the link. Ok didn't mean to turn this into a fund raising post but there you have it. If you can spare $5-10-100 you will be making a difference. The L&L society is probably the only non profit that actually gives most of the money to its cause giving 70% or more of what they collect to research instead of administration fees.

Went and made a jump today with my good friend Steve Osborne. Steve is battling AML. I haven't been officially cleared to jump but I don't know when or if I'll get another chance to jump with Steve. For those that pray please say a prayer and those that send vibes please send lots of them as he is going in for a bone marrow transplant or hoping to. He has a issue that is holding it up. Why I got to make the jump today as he was already supposed to be in Huntsman Cancer Center. Anyway the jump wasn't special other then I got to jump with Steve and I got to fly a navigator for the first time since my a license (my rigs are a year out if date) here is me and Steve O..

Is there any semblance of punishment fits the crime here? No doubt they knew they were trespassing but a burglary felony and possible 7 yr prison sentence? And look at the resources that were thrown at this? Love my country but this is EXACTLY the type of overstepping police state Nazi-ish behavior that we see more and more of everyday. Trespassers? No doubt. Burglary Felony? No Way! The way that law is written, ANYONE that were to trespass on any property could be charged. How convenient...... Except gaining entry to a closed building is not trespassing. DING DING DING we have a winner it is burglary not trespassing. Trespassing is walking over a boundary entering a locked/secure building is burglary. They threw the heaviest crimes at them then will plead them down. Besides isn't the base creed. leave no trace? These ass clowns got themselves busted. Jump leave and SHUT THE FUCK UP...Fuck em don't do the crime if you cant do the time..

Bullshit, and a reason I am particular about what packers I use (when I use them, and it's rare). I expect people to take pride in their job, and do the best they can. The expressed mindset is a pet peeve of mine, and totally unacceptable IMO. I absolutely will not use a packer that says the above, ever. If you aren't going to pack it like you're going to jump it - stay away from my rig. That said, JUMPING means that sometimes strange shit is gonna happen from time to time, and you just have to accept that - whether you use a packer or not. Imagine if your rigger said that line of bullshit to you regarding your reserve? Ian DITTO and I ALWAYS use a packer and pay above and beyond so my old beat up ass doesn't have to do it. Any packer that ever tells me I am only paying for the pack job will find I wont be paying them at all. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

I survived a triple malfunction canopy ride. Woohoo!
catfishhunter replied to skymama's topic in The Bonfire
I had the same thing happen to my OLD vector when I had tuck tabs installed instead of the Velcro. I landed it with stuck risers after doing a control check and was more worried about it not releasing then the risers coming free on landing since I couldn't make them come free in the air. I was on Lazer 295 so I had lots of time to figure out what was happening and make a decision. Still scary to have your head pinned down. Glad j'aint dead -
Arizona tries to legalize discrimination
catfishhunter replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
I re read everything I posted and I do not see whee I labeled anyone. Behaviors yes but not people. How about you start by answering my questions I asked before. Why is one sexual perversion ok but not all? Will you be ok when the time comes to accept those whose perversions you find vile? After all they where born that way. Or will you be the hate monger? And for the record . I don't have any issue with what consenting adults due in the bedroom. I do not subscribe to the special treatment and trampling on others beliefs for the sake of sexual perversion.that doesn't mean others have the right to police what they do in private but they do not get to force others to accept it either. I find it really amusing how those of you claiming to be tolerant and wanting equality fight so hard to take it away from those who do not believe as you.

Hate mongering? Only hate mongering is happening from your side. I don't see anyone running out and suing gay companies or holding demonstration and picket lines. All the hate is coming from the liberal militant gay agenda. You can get mad at me all you want and call me names I'm good with that because your wrong. I get that, bullying is your way.

LOL fat fingers on the iPhone and not proof reading:) But for the real bigots here. You are good with destroying everyone and everything that doesn't conform to your beliefs. Your the bigots. I could care less who your sleeping with but when you trample on others rights claiming equality when what your after is special treatment I got to call bullshit. If you believed sexual preferences is a protected class the. ALL sexual preferences must be protected. If it is a choice then none of it is protected.

since the dawn of time man laying with man has been a sin. Those wishing to not condone not service those choosing to live in win should not be forced to. This is what I believe. I have not spoken out against gays but have spoken for the right to refuse service. Sexual perversion is not and should not be a protective class unless you are going to protect all perversions and there is the slippery slope. You cannot discriminate against some and accept others.

I don't mind answering. Yes. I'd like to hear it from catfishhunter. If he walks into a restaurant with a copy of his church newsletter in hand and the owner says "Get out of my joint and take your perverted beliefs and vile morals with you" is he really going to say "Yes of course, I'm so sorry to have offended you!"?I have no desire to go where I'm not wanted and I'm not going to go file a lawsuit with the Intent of destroying someone's lovely hood. Which is what the militant gay agenda is. Destruction of everything and everyone that does not agree with them. Funny how you call morals vile. Even funnier is I'm least bigoted of all you. You wish to force others to accept sin yet you do not accept all sin. So if one sexual perversion is ok why isn't all sexual perversion ok?

me too kallend you posted this link and your against the rights of those whose rights are being trampled on. Forcing someone to service someone they believe are immoral is the bigotry here. Your logic is so complexly flawed you don't even see it. Your pointing fingers and calling names demanding to take away the rights of those that do not agree with your agenda.

Why is that unbelievable? What are your thoughts of other sexual preferences? Goat fuckers ok with you? After all they are born that way. What about multiple wives or child brides? You cannot be for one and against the other since they are all born that way. The minute any of you try to argue its different your only showing your hypocrisy. Sexual perversion is sexual perversion and forcing people to accept it and you yourself are against perversions you deem illegal and immoral shows how ridicules the liberal mind is. Everyone should have the right and freedom not to be subjected to what is considered a vile sin to them. But liberals only care about their rights and not the rights of those that believe differently than them. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

What is the most unprofessional thing you've done at work?
catfishhunter replied to promise5's topic in The Bonfire
I worked at Caesars Palace as a 20 year old long haired rocker who didn't work for the casino and had complete run if the place. The waitress's loved me the bartenders loved me the security loved me. I got away with more then any one person should ever get away with. I stayed in the Ann Margret suits every year back when it was THE place in Vegas. Since the was chandeliers and mirrors over all the beds in the suite and adjoining rooms it wasn't suspicious that all the covers where off the beds and the hot tub had to be cleaned since the massive chandelier above it just got cleaned. And this was tame compared to the Steinway grand piano in the convention area.good thing the security guard was my buddy :) oh and me and the wife own our business and work together currently MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

The first time was when I watched my father die from cancer, I was high on meth as he took his last breathes/ I knew I had to do something different or I was going to die or end up in prison. I moved to Utah and got clean on my own but I didn't really do anything but stop using. I got married had a daughter, got divorced and jumped into a bottle of Jim Beam. In 9 months I was back to sticking needles in my arms and while I was a functioning (great liar)addict (always had been) I was right back to were I was when I left Vegas. On 2/10/2002 I was in bed after having been high for nearly a week and I had vision. I real honest to goodness vision, of my daughter. She was asking her mother where her daddy was. I watched as she bent down and looked in my daughters eyes and told her " your daddy is dead because he used drugs" I immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed my insurance card and called for help. The lady that answered the phone that day saved my life. She kept me on the phone for 2 hours until she found an outpatient treatment center I could go to that wouldn't give away that I was in treatment so I wouldn't lose my job. She even threatened to lose her job by violating the law and calling my employer If I hung or didn't go immediately to the appointment she got for me. There are many miracles some small and some big and some HUGE that I have experienced since then and lots of them have been posted here over the years but none of them would have been possible without my daughter asking her mother where he dad was....I am truly a blessed man..I wish I could give that to everyone...reminds me I need to get to a meeting...

There are lots of trolls so you have to have thick skin when you get here and ask the same questions that have been asked a thousand times but if you can handle that jumping is going to be a breeze. :) The tunnel will help with the free fall but it will have very little to do with your survival odds. That will come from the training you receive from your instructors. Being an instructor yourself will help IF you remember all the things you hate about your students and DON'T do that to your instructors. Have fun and post a follow up and don't be afraid to ask questions but try to search and see if it has already been asked and answered.

New skydiver not feeling the 'it' factor
catfishhunter replied to InternetNinja's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That's a pretty fucking stupid statement. I don't get the enjoyment of people sitting around and playing Bridge at night. But plenty of people seem to love it. Am I dead inside too? To the OP: WE. LOVE. jumping out of planes. Feel free to give a few more jumps a shot. If it isn't blowing your skirt up, go find something that does. Life's too short to do something that you aren't having fun with. THIS! I'd suggest finishing AFF and making your first solo jump then you've truly been there done that and if the drive to get right back up and do it again isn't there buy your beer and ride off to the next adventure.
