  5. i remember it like it was yesterday, i pulled up to a place i had not been to in years, i got out of the car and thought to myself, "I really should have started back sooner!" I remember the people around the place that were strangers that became friends and now most of which are long gone. I remember the smell of nylon in the buildings the nervousness that I got for just one jump and how I wanted so bad to fly like those other guys. 3 years ago I got my chance and now I would like to take a moment to thank those who have kept me wanting to come back for more: Racer42 who ever thought the good lord would give me a sarogate father, i love you old man, thanks for keeping my head in the right place. Brains you were the first skydiver to jump with me and not ask for money, I'll never forget that, ever. Fireflytx, you young lady are an inspiration to me, and a big sister too Diablita thank you syraya, thank you for everything, you are a great person, no matter how evil you claim to be. Squidly357, Ryan you make me want to be a stronger person, and to dedicate my life to the pursuit of Excellence in All things, thank you for being a brother, friend, and mentor to me. Professor, whoever knew that a computer nerd from IBM, with the smartest mouth on the planet, could be such a deeply humble and kind hearted human being. Thank you Ted for the Smiles and Laughs........and the weather hold halo. Douva, for being a kind friend and for the years of watching out for me, thank you. Retreved, for helping me find a place to start, and watching out for me. So many people come in contact with you in your life, the positive ones, leave an impact so that the greatness that permiates through their life, becomes evident in your life as well, for in that moment you became friends, you were touched, moved, cried out as invincible for the first time and you grew, you lived and you laughed, all of you on here that i know that is what you, have so graciously done for me.

  14. so the other night i laid down and thought about what i would do if i won like 100 mill in the texas megamillions and this is what i came up with in my dreams that night. I saw myself and my brother jumping up and down, drinking heavily as we realized that now all of those toys that we still were trying to collect were ours. Then the movie screen of my mind whited out and this is what i saw, and some how knew it was ten years later. The entrance to skydive san marcos but the old white t-bo was gone and an otter replaced it and the sign was bigger, worthy of las vegas, and in the distance i heard the sweet hum of wind being forced through a tunnel where a tree farm used to be, as i looked to the right i saw a q-tipped runway and on one side of it where there used be nothing this morning there stood a hanger and the doors gleefully split and opened, as a young man of Puerto Rican heritage who looked just a tad bit more aged since the last time i saw him came to the first plane in the hanger bay and slowly pulled out the beast of a 400 series otter that was purple and white, and moved it over to the fuel tanks to get it ready for another fun day, of doing what he loved, flying. I got a little chill thinking about my friend and the 10000 hours he had doing what he loved, while showing us the ride of our lives. I thanked god for Eddie Burgos. While tears filled my eyes and the first load started to emerge from the buildings that were somewhat massive and stood where old army buildings used to stand, i saw a man with his pony tail in his mid forties then start playing with the tandem instructors as they made their way to the plane, one female one squawked back at him and they playfully argued for a moment before she led the rest of the instructors to the plane and gave him a kiss as their day had just begun, my heart lept again and i was thankful for Eric and Teresa Butts, as the jumpers filled in and the engines whirled to life, a salt and pepper haired stocky man walked up to eric, crossed his arms and said something about "Jibba jabba" and grinned a devious grin from under his black lensed gators and watched the plane that he dedicated many hours to lift into the air, like a eagle that was so proud to fly, and the thought of my Brother Ryan Lohrer, and giggled about all the bruises that i get from his tough form of love. My mind was awash with gratitude for all of those that i had seen and could not think of how this place could not get any better, until i saw the madness of manifest. 4 twenty year old girls were frantic inside trying to figure out the way to get the planes to keep flying and then the window slid open and a hand came in with a middle finger pointed to the heavens with red gold and yellow and a smile attached to a 30 year old girl with velcro hair, and a suit with many patches from sponsors and championships won came and helped them out cause Syraya remembered what her first weekend in the box was like too, as the madness dispersed, she mad her way to the loading area with her team, holding hands with her videographer, that traded in a wingsuit for love and freefly team, and I laughed a deep laugh of appreciation for a 38 year old Ted. I looked for my friends and saw Voodew and Juju in their older years teaching kids to skydive, and Jeff and Kim, and Kyle and Jess, Adam and Aaron, teaching kids to pack and all those wonderful people I know and love just having a good ole time, I thought to myself, where am I, in this out of body experience I floated back to the tunnel to see a 56 year old man playing like his back hurt as he got dressed for the first session of the day, across from him stood an almost 40 year old me, happy and angry at the tunnel control booth cause Caleb would not start it, finally he stopped playing around as a tunnel coach that looked like college professor g I joe with a pony tail of gray hair choked him and as the wind picked up, and we lifted off the net, I grabbed Kevins foot and felt my heart soar, I woke up, and realized I had already won, cause I have friends, that I love, friends like you. Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  15. skirt, wingsuit, ballerina costume, it all looks the same to me! Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  16. WTF ever little girl, you are not gonna need a knife, cause you are gonna get ghosted like swayze the second you even look at the t-bo on the driveway, then, my friend, you die, and another thing don't think that since your boyfriend flies the depends looking wingsuits that he could zoom in like a falcon or an eagle and rescue you, i mean, he has pulled low before, but damn he aint got the cojones for that Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  17. can't we all just get along, can't we all overcome the bonds we face towards slavery to our ego's can't we say nothing if we have nothing nice to say, why must we skydivers (myself included) be a bunch of me monster's, why is it always my way or the highway, why? I just don't understand, fuck it, i am done talking, i am not gonna have a lick of influence on you, I think i would rather jump instead of bitching anyway...... Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  18. so the planning continues, we run all week and then my friends we see you there! Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  19. oh wow that's funny i did not know that it was broken, i mean i jumped out of it this weekend and it climbed fine, it ran fine, what do you allude to Zach? What are trying to say about my home? Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  20. Happy birthday, Jeff! Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  21. you know i already called them, already shipped my rig out to them, and already have a good idea what i am going to do, i just thought that i would put it in a public forum, so that others could benefit from the knowledge that we share, i appreciate your concern, i really do, but education and information cannot be a private thing, its for everyone, maybe one day a kid who just started jumping and can't afford a new rig but can fix up an older one, like a kid with a 67 mustang would, could benefit from my skydiving story, and if he or she could well hell, that would be one worth while adventure! Ahh, what a wonderful world.
  22. hey Yall so i just sent you a used '97 vector 3 i just bought to get some work done, and i had some questions, can i get a spacer foam backpad on it if i am getting the harness replaced? what is your favorite thing about the 1997 models you put out other then the high quality and stuff, was it a stand out year? what do you think i should do to it? hope to hear back from you!
