    Tattoo's

    I'll play along :) Hard to take these sitting at my desk but here goes. Right Arm is for my daughter(Lindsey). She is my sunshine and she is into rainbows. Left arm is self explanatory. And the last is well you can figure that out too.. :) MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  7. I kept mine on my one and only reserve ride. I had been trained to look,grab,pull,drop but when teh time came I just grabbed pulled grabbed pulled. I pratice my procedures when i put my rig on,walking to the plane,in the plane 3 or 4 times. I KNOW where my handles are and didn't waste the extra 1/2 of a second to drop em'. On the other hand if I had a mal earlier in jumps I am sure I would have done just what I was taught,look,grab,pull,drop...I have learned(the hard way!) to listen to those who have accepted the responsibillity to teach people like me not to kill ourselves. So if in doubt talk to your Instructors,ST&A,DZO etc they have those titles for a reason MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  8. I didn't bring it with me to qoute the numbers but for 25K it is $33 something a quarter which ain't half bad. Coverage up to 100K for $100 something a quarter...

  9. I recieved in the mail Friday the USPA Death/Dismemberment Insuarnce paper work. Anyone have any opinions on it? The policy at first reading looks worthwhile....Opinions??????

  10. Her Question was She had stated she had talked to her instructors and was confident in her decision so I was not going to comment on what she did or why she did it. Was only referring to her question.. Would I treat it any differently because it was rented.Which I responded"Last thing that EVER should be on yor mind is how much this is going to cost if I cut it away."

  11. I think you have taken what I said completly wrong. I was not reffering to how she handled her situation but was reffering to her question and "You" refers to ANYONE that would be thinking"Damn if I chop this it is going to cost me allot of Money because I rented it".

  12. If you are thinking about the cost of chopping while jumping out of airplanes then you sure as ^@%^$@ shouldn't be jumping. Last thing that EVER should be on yor mind is how much this is going to cost if I cut it away. As Ron said you rented it it is YOURS until you had it back. If I ever start to think about trying to save money rather then saving my (_*_) during a malfunction that will be the day I give this up...

  14. Made my 100th today! attempted a 10 way got 8 in! Brian Wallace(DZO) was awesome in organizing and recruiting people to make the Jump with me. I had one helluva good time! If you haven't been to Sky Dive Ogden,Give yourself a gift and come jump with us! Great group of people and I am truly blessed to have learned from all the great folks there... Blue Skies!

  15. If and when the times comes that paying a packer comes between me and jumping I will pack it myself. While I am not rich I can afford and factor in the pack jobs as part of my jumps. I have bad knees and am not a little guy. $5 makes allot more sense to me then crawling around trying to stuff a bunch of nylon into a tiny bag. Say what you will but for me Jumping is the reason I got into this.. If someone packing has a problem with getting $5 to pack then they should just not pack. As far as people calling those of us that put the $$$$$$$$$ in the packers pockets slackers.....Get a job pay a packer and relax......

  17. Better to be on the ground wishing you was in the air then in the air wishing you was on the ground. When your friends with 100's of more jumps then you won't get on the load it is probably a GOOD IDEA to do what they are doing.... Sitting on the couch watching all the other idiots getting dragged... Getting dragged really sucks especially in shorts and a tee shirt......
