  1. This happened at a neighboring DZ a few years back. A friend of mine was videoing landings and one of the local swoopers flew right into him. (early in the swoop, both were hurting) Everyone from that DZ said, "the camera guy should have moved out of the way of incoming canopy pilots," even though he was trying to swoop the camera. My standing has always been that the canopy pilot is responsible for choosing a safe landing area.

  2. Extra money or not I couldn't even get life insurance without having something in there that basically said that they wouldn't cover a skydiving death.

  6. That was nice. It was an honest question looking for people with similar interests and I'd have to say your the one making it divisive. Good thread justaflygirl, I share your faith and would also be interested to know who else on here does. Joe.

  7. I went to Cancun in January. Through Omaha, Denver, Dallas, Cancun, and Chicago without any problems. But I didn't have a Cypress. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  8. Hey Dumpster, you've got a very cool plane headed your way. We were a little disappointed it didn't arrive here till 6 o'clock in the evening only time for 2 loads. But I was told that mine was the first load of jumpers ever flown in that plane. (I've got a little piece of bubble wrap from the interior to prove it.) Couple pics of your PAC. Sorry about the quality just frame grabs. Photos by Nick Blacksher aka Olav Nickster.

  9. Just found out that on its way there its going to be stopping at our dropzone for tommorro afternoon only. Can't wait. Thanks, and I'll let you know what I think.

  10. Is that Jeremy Payne? THEE Jermey Payne. If it is then its the same guy from Jacks300th.jpg that I posted up above. Someone needs to tell him he's getting a lot of screen time in this tread. Cool pic by the way. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  11. Thats nice, we had 50+ mile per hour winds here thursday and friday. Low clouds and 20-30 mph today. Maybe tomorrow will be better but I doubt it.

  12. It would be nice if she was rich too. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  13. That was disturbing. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  14. Nebraska. Where the last two months we've seen close to 50 degrees at some point during almost every week but never over 30 on the weekends. I think this is where the send you when a skydiver goes to hell.

  15. Couple I took last weekend. Joe. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  16. In next month's column, we will learn how to clone your neighbor's wife in six easy steps. This project promises to be an exciting weekend full of fun and profit. Common kitchen utensils will be all she needs. See you next month! There I fixed it.

  17. The income limit for the ROTH IRA is $95,000 ($150,000 if filing jointly). If your close to that amount you can lower your annual income with tax write-offs, such as putting more money into your 401K. Theres a limit on that as well, but if you can put enough money in your 401k to get your taxed income below $95k then you can put up to $3000 per year in a ROTH. If money is tight and you can't max out both put all the money that your employer will match into your 401k (because thats free money) but then put the rest of the money you want to invest (as much as you can) into a ROTH because it won't be taxed when you take it out. Happy investing, Joe. My info came from kiplinger.com "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  18. I liked that alot. Is it true? "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  19. I have worked with several as brokers but have never paid for financial counseling. $450 is a lot of money to pay someone to draw up a buget and savings plan. If you don't have anything that money would be better spent going into a Roth IRA which any financial advisor should set up for you free of charge seeing as they are paid salesmen of the fund they are selling you. There are a lot of good books out there that can get you started on setting up a buget saving for retirement and/or a house. On a side note, I would stay away from anyone who has anything to do with credit cards offering me financial advice. Dave Ramsey is an author of some really good books. I don't agree with everything he says but his stuff can make financial planning understandable, and he will teach you what to stay away from. Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey easy read. Joe.

  20. Hey Chris (or I mean Addie) Long time no see. Hows the east coast treating you? I wish I was down there too, today was the first day its been above 20 this week. Nebraska sucks. The boogie scene back here just won't be the same without you this year. Let me know if your coming back. Joe. P.S. I've got some pics of you sitflying shoot me your email address and I'll get them to you. I'm nudeskydiver@earthlink.net "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  21. I just watched Napolean Dynamite for the first time last night. Flippin hilarious. Laughed from begining to end, completely pointless movie. I think its my new favorite. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  22. I just gave her all my money. No card just money. I think she liked it. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  23. I have the Ryobi 18v cordless drill and saw set. Use them all the time, they work great and the price was right. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  24. What are we trying to spell? Skydive, EFS, or Dropzone.com Either way I'm still holding this freakin E I just want to know where to put it. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
  25. That is hillarious watching all the letters try to make Dropzone.com. I'll get an E. "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
