  1. After Jim McMahon played at BYU, none of that surprised me anymore. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. If you want to live near Z-Hills, live near Z-hills. There are not a lot of other DZs in the area. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with jumping at Z-hills. Great place. Great airplanes. iFly Tampa is south of there, so if that is a consideration, may want to skew your location in that direction. If you want to go to the East coast of Florida, somewhere in the Deland/Daytona Beach area gives you easy access to Deland, Sebastian, and Palatka. All great places to jump. If transportation is a concern, tenting it at Deland would probably work out best. The jumping season here runs from the beginning of April to the end of March. We don't stop. There are hurricanes and other things that can influence jumping, but in general, 365 a year is possible. 200 jumps a year is very easy to do. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  3. You're lucky. Last time all I got was a big box with a note on it that said, Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  4. Skydive Palatka FL usually has their Hogflop/Halloween Boogie on the weekend when the clocks move back. That would put it on the weekend of 3 - 4 Nov this year. Check with them for confirmed date. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  5. About $345 US. Is that a pretty standard registration fee in Europe? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  6. Really? WTF? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. I know of one DZ that was a member, and dropped out so an underaged dependent could jump. Sloppy, sloppy, Bill. I always thought Breaking Bad could have laundered their money through a drop zone faster than through a car wash. Then again, no federal oversight at a car wash. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. Scott Lutz comes to mind. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. Yes you are. This is your children's childhood, not yours. This is the only one they get. They should be free to explore whatever interests they want that you can afford. They may find that they are world class at soccer, skiing, choir, acting, piano, violin, hockey, horseback riding, swimming, you pick it. Or they might just be good, but not great students. Do you have their college expenses covered? Or are you going to get a couple of thousand jumps in before they go to college and then saddle them with a six-figure debt coming out? If you opt to jump a couple of times a month, and let them explore the other weekends, realize, you will not be current. This isn't golf. You can't lay off for a few weeks and comeback and figure you will be in the same place you were on the last jump. Without a large experience base, you will not have the skills to pick it right up. You will not be safe to jump with others. In skydiving, if you are not moving forward, you are falling behind. Harsh. You asked. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. Good to know, TK. I'll be by Sunday. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. Sierra Hotel Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. Wonder if the member was successful. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. https://vimeo.com/249588682 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  15. I believe it is a western Pennsylvania colloquialism: "Did you redd up your room?" Meaning, Did you clean your room? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. Axle? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. Are there any publicly traded DZs in the US? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  18. remember to tell them that even then, they need to be careful. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  19. So the Minisystem is bigger than the Stylemaster? Irony runs rampant, doesn't it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  20. So a guy with the callsign Stiffy drew a large phallus on the top of a trailer. Bet nobody saw that one coming. (Unintended) Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  22. Boss isn't here and I'm bored. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  23. There is a Jim Powers who jumps at Deland now. He's been jumping for awhile. May be him. Martin knows him. And I'll take one of those s for that, Rick. Thank you very much. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  24. Done. And you did promise, right? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  25. Sierra Hotel: For some it means Shit Hot. For others it means Smoking Hole. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
