    Dude if you really think things can't get worse..........always remember, you could also be covered in shit. Sounds stupid, but anytime I start to get really depressed I think that quick little thought and start to laugh. And a laugh my friend is some powerful stuff.

    I thought it was a great read. If you liked this you should read "Angels and Demons" by the author. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Hangover cures

    LoudDan replied to Jimmybb's topic in The Bonfire

    I always go with the ounce of prevention approach. Although it won't help you now, it might in the future. 1) Activated Charcoal (GNC $5.95) 2 six hours prior, and 2 one hour prior 2) Two 500mg Vitamin C (1 hour prior) 3) One Centrum Multi Vitamin (1 hour prior) 4) Two Advil (1 hour prior) 5) 1 litre water(1 hour prior) 6) 1 litre water if possible prior to passing out 7) Handfull of Tums prior to passing out 8) Two more Advil prior to passing out I kow it sounds like a lot, but if fucking well works like a champ. I've put a lot of time and research in the R&D of this little process. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Wait to you see me, Tyler, Sunman, and Michael win the GSL, it's gonna be sick. The only obstacle we have is "How in the hell do you exit four people out of the plane without going on your head???" seems unnatural. I think we'll apply for a waiver to turn points vertically. Doug should be afraid, be very afraid. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Those VAC PACK bags work really well for just that very thing. I think they have them at Sears. They rule, just stick all of your crap in a bag, suck all the air out, and it's like a quarter of the original size. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    The war is about oil.............OK imagine if you will living your daily life without oil or oil byproducts (gas, jet fuel, ruber, vinyl, etc). Takes oil to make the world go round, literally. Good luck getting that jump plane off the ground without JET-A, turbo oil, hydraulic fluid, and tires. Of course the US does have reserves that no one seems to want to tap do to the habitation of the 3 peckered white winged buffalo bird, but that is a different subject all together. There are synthetic versions of most of these, but at a significantly higher cost. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I've never jumped a Safire (I or II), but I've put almost 400 jumps on Sabre II's. Never a hard opening, and loads of fun to fly at medium wing loadings. Swoops great, and has a ton of brakes. I'd say demo them both for 20 or so jumps on each and then decide. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I've got a little over 350 jumps on Sabre 2's from a 230 down to a 170 (1.2 - 1.52 W/L). I can't ever recall having a short flare stroke, the only time I stalled the 210 was by taking a toggle wrap and flaring down past my hips (done up high). I can say that at the higher wing loadings, the flare has more bite at the bottom end (shut down). I've only had one or two wild openings, and no hard openings, I chalk those up to body position.

    True dat, Pierre and Lalani have a great operation, and they are some of the best people I have ever met. You owe it to yourself to make a sunset load in the Bahammas. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I'll be there...(I just don't know how to add myself to the list) and Dee did you try looking at buying two one way tickets? I know Delta just released a bunch of one way fares starting out at $55. Might save you a couple of bucks. Just a thought. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Rum is just for the greater good. Think of it like this: If I owe you 25 bucks, and I pay it to you in cash, only you get to enjoy it. Now, if I owed you $25 and we are going to the same party, and I tell you that since I owe you $25 I'll pick up a bottle of rum for you while I'm at the store, as a result all of the people at the party get to enjoy the represented $25, I have alleviated my debt to you as per our phone agreement, and as a bonus I get props for bringing the rum. It's really for the greater good. Now...about this ocean front property I'm selling in Arizona...................................................... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    You've taken the first and most important step.........admitting you have a problem........ Don't worry dude, the peeps at X-Keys have this really freaky power to make everything happen. I think it's something in the air (like skydivers), last time I was up, they put a flag man complete with flashlight and cell phone out in the pouring rain at midnight (no bullshit) to marshall me in to the Top House. If that ain't commitment to getting people where they need to be, I don't know what is. Just pray that Selwyn isn't driving

    I work at ATL (Hartsfield/ Jackson Intl) so I can probably pick you up and get you down there unless thee is some really freaky scheduleing conflict. It would be no prob for me, I'll be leaving from the airport to go there anyway. PM me if you need to set something up. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    The rent is on the table (it's that big wooden surface with four legs behind the couch). I can see why you might have missed it though, it's a little known fact that in an attempt to avoid counterfeiting, US currency has been designed with the ability to cleverly disguised itself as a canoe.

    Shimmel you wouldn't recognize a sexual relationship if it sat on your face and started making circular motions. As for your fascination with superman, some specialists speculate that repressed homosexuals often try to model themselves after super-human male role models. Don't worry the skydiving community is one big family, and your secret is safe with us. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    For those interested, several of us will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo after $15 Wednesday and will be crashing at the DZ that night so as to be on time Thursday morning. There is no real plan, who ever shows up, bring your beverage of choice, the good vibes, your favorite skydiving movie, a shaved cat, several paper plates, an old shoe, a spare tire from a 68 Karman Ghia, some dental floss, and.............................Funyons (if you don't understand, watch "Half Baked") and who knows what jackassery will ensue. I'm willing to find out. It's Cinco de Mayo with the Otter at eight, c'mon give it a try, if your work day turns to shit, at least you went skydiving that morning.

    Personally, I'm a freeflier (started very early like jump 20 or something like that) however what a lot of people fail to realize is that flying on your belly is flying on an axis. Throwing together a four way belly with simple docks, and just going for as many points as you can is a killer rush when just like any good skydive. So perhaps it's from lack of people willing to just throw a simple dive plan together. I know for me it was the more relaxed attitude of the our pro freeflyers, along witht he fact that when I had 17 jumps, it was one of those 8,000 jump freeflyers that came over and asked me if I wanted to go play in the sky, that was the beginning of the end for me. That being said, it is hard to beat a four way head down with bad ass transitions because that's just cool. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
