    WOW. That's scary! Sorry to hear you've had to leave so many sucky skydives early. At least you get to practice your mad tracking skillz that way. Look me up when you come to town, I'll be sure to avoid the loads you're on. Maybe you should stick to tandems.............

    Old timer here. Some people are too dependant on audibles. It pisses me off to no end when at 2 or 3 grand above breakoff someone just turns and tracks away. After landing you ask WTF? The usual answer "I had my audible set higher for the last jump and forgot to change it." Again WTF? On LO jumps I set my audible 3-5 hundred feet above breakoff so when I hear it I know breakoff is seconds away. That gives me a chance to scan the formation and point out anyone that is low or out so the tracking can be adjusted.

    Don't do it! IT'S A TRAP!!!

    No, not planned. The angles of the sun, the jumpers, the vidiot, and the timing of the release of ashes would make that almost impossible. It would be cool to try though.

    You kids these days have it sooo easy! Able to stalk someone from anywhere in the world. Why, back in the old fogey days before the internet you actually had to follow your stalkee around. Lotta legwork!! Or so I've heard.

    I'd still like to know what phone call is soooooo important that it can't wait the few minutes to get back in the hangar?

    I'm surprised nobody has brought this up yet: The worst mistake I see students make on a regular basis is they don't bring beer. How do they expect to pass??

    Next time you are at the grocery store pick up a package of frozen tilapia. 9 out of 10 are from CHINA. I look at labels and refuse to buy any food from CHINA! Haven't had tilapia in years.

    YES, the memories of the pawprint. Last year the city put new sidewalks in front of the house. As soon as the cement crew left, I had Cruzer (he's not MY dog, I'm HIS human) run up and down the walk. His prints are there forever now.

    NFL question

    raftman replied to kallend's topic in The Bonfire

    How about the guy that played it on the trumpet for the other game?? That was one of the best versions I've ever heard.

    If you rent fron Charlie Car Rental don't be late. In 2011 we were almost 2 hours late to pick up the car and they had already rented it out. Had to to to Hertz. A great place to stay is Hotel Del Mar in Isabela. Beautiful villas right on the beach for cheap. Hell, we spent more time there than skydiving last time we went.

    I bounceproof all the nOObs logbooks when asked to sign. Mine was done in 1997. Yes, in Texas.

    Oh Hell, anytime I hear someone talking on the phone in a public restroom I flush a couple of times so the person on the other end knows they're talking to someone in a public restroom!

    Try Cape Cod. Beautiful beaches, but a bit cold this time of year. When are you going? I am splitting time between Boston and the Cape 10/13-10/21.

    I would rathe have a line over than a ball under. That is why I always wear a jock strap when I jump. Everything stays in place.

    On another day at another golf course 2 guys are playing behind 2 lady golfers that are REALLY slow. 1 guy says to the other "I'm going to ask them if we can play through." He starts walking over to them, gets half way there and turns around and comes back and says "I can't ask them to play through, 1 of them is my wife and the other is my girlfriend." The other guy says "Then I'll ask them." He gets halfway there, turns around and comes back and says "Small world isn't it."
