Glad to hear things are working out and looking up. Keep up the great attitude. I'll look forward to the jump! Keep smilin'. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Great DZ!! You might want to show up an hour earlier because of the waiver from hell there though. Really, It's a great DZ. I highly recommend it. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but the dude seems not to be a "dude". Notice, shaved legs, high cut on the hips underwear, and reinforced crotch, which men's underwear rarely have. Oh, and why would 3 guys and a girl be playing twister? Seems to be couples to me. I don't think the skid mark is a dude.

I have a Neptune and a Pro-track that I use at the same time. The Neptune is much louder than the Pro-Track. I don't know if that's unique to mine or standard across the board, but the Neptune is very noticeably louder. Both are great and have pros/cons, I wouldn't give up my Pro-Track because of some of the features I like, but I really like the Neptune too. Pro-tracks sell for about $220 used on eBay. You could almost buy a Neptune new for that. Just a thought, like I said I love the Pro-Track too and I wouldn't want to have to choose between the two. I also have a Velocity that I use it in and had to cut the padding a little. Just making sure the back is facing your ear helps a lot, but ensuring there is no padding directly over the speaker specifically makes a ton of difference.

Bwahahahaha!!!! I know that guy!! Can't wait to see him again. LMAO! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Nah, If he was criminally negligent it would've been pointed at someone else. It's just gross negligence. Before you decide to argue with me, I'm just kidding....what an idiot!!! Glad he didn't shoot someone other than himself though. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

As an artillery officer in the Army and being a former battery commander of a M-119 firing battery, all I can speculate is that they probably need the parts more than the howitzers themselves. They're not an American made gun and they are crap. We're just stuck with them. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but I personally couldn't possibly care less if you think hunting is a sport or not. It's all semantics. Think what you want, but just leave me to my hunting. If you don't think it's a sport, that's just fine with me, cause I know I don't care. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Pretty good stuff there Kennedy. To go along with that first part, Utah's Dedicated Hunter Program, to which I belong, actually requires conservation service. This includes, maintaining roads, build/repair fences, erosion control, reforestation, water storage maintenance, among a myriad of other things. Granted, hunters do benefit from the program, but so does the environment and wildlife. Somebody also mentioned how humane bowhunting is. I think my bow is every bit as lethal and probably more than my rifles, my muzzleloader is just as lethal too. Kind of comparing apples to oranges here, but an arrow going through an animal does significantly more physical damage than a bullet, just without the impact shock that comes from the high velocity. It comes down to the hunter using ethics in selecting opportunities. On that note, a vast majority of hunters are not out killing for the sake of killing. Sure many hunters enjoy trophies, but they don't just leave the rest of the animal to rot. This is a too common misconception. Sure there are those that do it, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. And, by the way, true hunters are after them. Leaving an animal to waste is criminal in every state I know of and hunters are joining forces to get rid of these people. And, finally......I just found out today that I drew a Utah mature bull elk tag again this year!!!!! WoooHoooo!!! What timing for this post.

Yeah, what they said. The driving difference is minimal and Skydive Mesquite is the place to be in Nevada. And with the boogie going on, you definitely should not miss it. Brad and Sher run a top notch DZ!! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Lisa, Just me, but those 900 some what jumps aren't going anywhere. Please take care of yourself first. It's more important. I know it's gotta be tough, but hang in there. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Personally, I leave the goggles behind on hop and pops or cross countries. I always take the goggles off after deployment anyway, so what's the point on hop and pops? Of course I don't have to deal with the contacts or eyeglasses issue as some people do. I've also jumped from altitude without them a couple times because I was a dummy and forgot them. Oh well, no big deal. As far as the rest of the poll, I've jumped without all of these at some point, but never all at the same time. Maybe I'll have to make a point to try some time, just a rig with canopies/handles. But I can say, that if for some anomaly of life I found myself in the aircraft with nothing but my rig, I'd still jump.

What about "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins", that disaster that Leonard Nimoy did in the seventies about the Lord of the Rings?? Now that was baaaaaad!! Or any one of the other disasters he recorded?? Now who in the hell let this guy record anything that the public might have been subjected to? Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Hey, Billvon, we agree on a political issue!! How about that??!! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

One of the questions I've got is when did the "legal" transaction occur? The guy that bought it was charged with gun trafficking in October 1997 and subsequently found guilty. The incident occurred in April 1999. This guy should not have been authorized a purchase between October 97 and April 99. I'm assuming the transaction had to have occurred before October 97. That's a long time removed from the gun dealership. And if there was something done wrong in the transaction, it should have been identified then. The responsibility lies in the person who made the purchase and resold illegally. And he has given up his right to purchase another firearm. This is why I'm very careful to whom I sell firearms. It's a shame it's come to this shift of responsibility and blame. I personally would never have sold 10 handguns to someone without knowing personally what the purpose was and being able to justify it in my mind. Then again, I don't try to make a living with my business and have that luxury. I hope the NRA and the Gun Owners Foundation get all over this one and nip it in the bud.

Yep, that's what I'd do, take the money and find the loopholes. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

Agreed. All, I'm saying is that when sorting through what's screwed up and what's going well, the perspective of the news agency needs to be considered. Of course, the hotspots are going to gain the attention. Of course, Americans are more concerned about the troops than other stuff. That's the way it should be and has been. Just remember that there's a ton of stuff going right over there too. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
