  1. Of course most of the sources they are "drawing from" are already being challenged in court, but hey, with massive budget shortfalls and hundreds of public safety positions unfilled, yeah, let's blow more taxpayers' money.

  2. Hiya' slo-poke, First off search the forums for "Beer," "Beer Rules," "Pie," "Pie Rules" and "Jungle Rules!!" In about two weeks when ya' get finished reading everything, you will know. In my book, the only hard and fast "Beer Rules" are a Case if you drop your "Main" Ripcord (unless you had a malfunction) and not really applicable today unless you jump really old gear and #2, a Case for your "SCR Jump!!" and ya' better make sure everyone on the load gets a beer before the freeloaders as some won't sign off your SCR form unless you fill their fist with a "Cold Beer!!" All other "rules" are "Fluff!" Now if ya' just like beer and want to celebrate something or just for the heck of it buy a case, "Cool Beans!!" As for "pie" I'm not a proponent of the curse.

  7. Hi JK, Well, sure Felons and loonies have the "Right" to own guns, (Just look at yourself!!) the fun part is they don't have the "Privilidge" so for now you're safe as no felons or loonies are going to come gunning for you with "Legal" guns.

  8. Hi Pat, That was the year I broke my leg and was "Grounded" for a while,,,,3 flat head wood screws in the right ankle and a long cast! Spencer and the guys from Otay were there and told us the story. Grim! Hard to believe that was over 30 years ago and it seems like yesterday!! Time sure flyz when yer havin' too much fun! Don't have the "Sport Death" t-shirt but in the archives I still have a "Monty and Link Sport Death Skull Crest from Ghoulidge" "They ignored the Ground that Cardinal sin, Monty Bounced and Link went in." I think there's more to those lines but that's all I know.?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  9. Robin Heid bought it and lived in it for years... sold it a few years ago to Swooper Clint Clausson. Still has the ParaDeath catalog on the wall. Hi Pat, Glad to hear that the Trailer and the catalogue survived!! Both are Skydiving Treasures!! 'Remember when "Desert Heat" came back from "China" they had some slides at the DZ and out in the woods somewhere around where they were they found this old beat up abandoned "trailer" that kinda looked like Joe's. The guys painted "Joe Morgan's place" or something like that on the side and "Took Pictures!!" God only knows what the Commies think of us after that?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  10. Hi Pat, There was more than one copy???? As I recall, there was a copy embedded in the wall of Joe Morgans' Trailer at Old Elsinore!!!! Geeked it many times!! He sold the trailer to Eric Bernstine and then I don't know what became of it?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  11. Hi Howard, Fly on Bill and Blue Skyz to ya'............. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  12. Hi Matt, If ya' hang around airplanes long enough, you'll see "Buzz Jobs!!!" Up in the search box, enter "Buzz Job" and "Buzz Jobs" you'll get a bunch.Read the ones I posted about the B-17 and "The Lib" B-24 that buzzed Elsinore. Also others. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  13. Hi Matt, Check the Air Race web site for info and dates. It's the 2nd weekend after Labor Day in Sept. Time trials start on Tues and Races are Fri Sat and Sun. It all boils down to the "Unlimited Gold Race" on Sun Aftn. 10 Laps and whoever sticks his prop spinner X-C the finish line "FIRST!!" is "The Winner!!" Then it's go back to the pits and star working on "Next Years' Race!!" BTW, one year Lefty Gardner(from around your neighborhood) in his P-38 "White Lightning" is proported to have taxied back to the pits after a race with sage brush dangling from his plane!!!!!

  14. Hi Daddy-O, Go to the Reno Air Races in Sept. The whole race is a "Buzz Job!" The Air Show is good too. 'Don't know if he's still running, Guy Paquin in Race#90 "Buzz Job" in the Sport Biplane Class a yellow Mong Sport bi-plane. The old timers know him from Perris. 'Remember walking in from the landing area at Perris some years ago, there were these evenly spaced slits in the dirt??? Nice "Buzz Job" somebody???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS, "How low can you go??"

  15. Hi Wendy, "I'm with you on this one!!!!!" At least we can get our RW's worth!! Took several newbies on training missions and they were hangin' in the saddle at 5 grand!! With all that airtime left I could have done a style set or two If I'd a' known they were that spooked!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  16. Hi s-d, Unless the jump is "co-ed" of at least 2 jumpers,'Who Cares??" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  17. Hi Ry-"O", "AND," Don't forget Snake and Dogwood, the "Booze Brothers" at Freak Brothers!!!! If anybody is old enough and has enough brain cells left to remember!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  18. Hi Ry-"O", After all their ups and downs over the centuries, maybe there's still some hope for the old Church?? Perhaps Belushi will get "Cannonized" before "Ma-T??" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  19. Hi Angle, Your last sentence says it ALL! Seems like the most info even advanced students have about their gear is,"Pull this handle to make it work and pull the other ond if it doesn't work!!" 'Daze gone by we had "Russ Gunbys' Book!!" In todays' Skydiving World, there are enough Books, Videos and Courses on Techniques "and" Equipment to educate anybody on the Sport. "But" it's up to the individual jumper to take the advantage. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  20. Hi Anvil-b, Besides checking the various things that Lou mentioned, note the line trim. Check the brake setting to the rest of the canopy. I had a Viking Superlite that did the same thing you describe and right out of the gate!! Experimented around and figured out that the brake setting had the tail too low!! Built a new set of lower brake lines to set the tail 5" higher and found the sweet spot!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

    Gun nut?

    Hi Chang, As far as the trip with the blank giving all the members of the "firing squad" the doubt that they may have "Not" killed the guy, ! Generally the weapon used will have sufficient "Kick" that using the blank would be obvious to the guy ending up with that round!! Interestingly the story goes about Marta Hari, the WWI spy who was executed by firing squad. Supposedly she refused the blindfold and everyone on the firing squad missed her carcass (including the blank) except "One!" and he got her dead nuts in the heart!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  22. Hi Nick, And then one day at the cabana in front of the gear store everybody is looking up as a couple of people go low and one really low and Alan richter points up in the air and starts yelling,"Sechler, Sechler!!!" and this dude gets up next to him yelling,"Sechler, Sechler!!" and Alan looks over , still yelling Sechler Sechler and realizes that Mark is standing next to him!! I was a bout 10 feet away and had one of the best laughs I ever had out there!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

  24. What do you own? Why do you want to know? Because you opened the door by saying you own guns. I want to know what types. Many anti-gun people claim to own guns, but actually don't - they just say that to try and deflect arguments. So I want you to describe your guns to me to the point that I believe you're not just making that up. Are you afraid that the government will be watching this thread? Are your guns all properly licensed and registered? What do you have to be afraid of? Hi John, God I love i!! God Guns and Guts that's what!! Never mind how many, what kind and or caliber they are, how many we have, or don't, the 2A says,">>>>Keep and bear Arms>>>>>!!" not "Guns" per say! Arms are any device that can do damage, from a Hammer to an "H"-Bomb!! So, never mind the guns, lets start building tactical Nukes in our garages!! Wouldn't the Brady bunch be amused!!??????? ... kinda reminds me of the old Smokin Bananas in the '60's Mary Jane daze!! All of a sudden there was a $10,000 fine and 10 years law passed in Michigan for "Smoking Bananas!!" Ain't no laws yet about makin Homemade Nukes?? Lets' give it a try!! The 4th of July is just around the corner, who can put on the best "Display!!!!!!" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
