  1. I'm in there- I got my B license- B-25394! Easy Does It
  2. Wouldn't it be cool to see a full face helmet, with a Heads-Up display of altitude, and a sight for camera flyers? (the ultimate high- tech helmet!) Easy Does It
  3. I've seen some pics with jumpers wearing altimeters high on thier arms, too- I wonder what the advantoge may be? Easy Does It
  4. English, and, while it's not really a "language" - Morse code- Easy Does It
  5. I play around with the little HF Amateur radio station I have- Hopefully I'll be able to work alot of new countries- Plus getting a bunch of work around the house- And sneaking in a jump or two every so often when the weather permits- Easy Does It

    DSL

    DSL rocks- We've had it for about six months - Screw dial -up! Easy Does It
  7. The 2nd wife and I just celebrated our third year - I started jumping about 18 months ago -- Divorce hasn't come upp yet- But I'll bet if I jump as much as I would like to, it will! She is a whuffo to the max and just isn't into the DZ scene at all- Doesn't even try all that much- It's kind of a bummer, but I'm not giving up skydiving! Easy Does It
  8. I wear contacts, and jump a Z-1, and open it after I'm under canopy- No problem whatsoever- Easy Does It
  9. 0:6:1 Got past the 100th jump mark with little fanfare - So much other stuff going on at the DZ ( A Halloween party and a 21st birthday party-) COLD is settling in here in the midwest - Had to break out the woolies - Easy Does It
  10. One other very importatn point- Make sure you buy the rigger who packed the reserve a case of beer! Easy Does It
  11. Yeah- Like Rosie ODonnel- Spouting off for heavy gun control- Then word gets out she carries- But SHE"S important, so she gets too carry a gun- What makes her any more important than you or I? Easy Does It
  12. Main problem I have noticed, is there are lots of good laws, but lack of enforcement- Easy Does It
  13. Wow! Quite a response! Not what I expected, but in my opinion, quite positive!I can tell the most of us are into responsible gun ownership and use. A very good thing! Iam afriad the anti-gun lobby is going to take this sniper ordeal to the extreme- It's not the gun, but the user- I grew up in a house with guns- Not alot of guns, but just the same- I was taught that they are tools, not toys- I was also taught that marksmanship is an important part of life. One of the cornerstones. Marksmanship could be what turns the tide of a war, or what feeds your family for one more day. I have served in war, and fed my children. It is important now, more than any in recent history, we defend second amendment rights- Please pass the word along. "Homeland Security" - begins with citizens defending thier home. Don't you agree? I would like to thank you all! And a special thanks to the law enforcement personnel who helped catch the rat bastrd sniper team! A ip of my whisky glass and heartfelt thanks to ALL policemen everywhere! Easy Does It
  14. Age is reletive- My wife is about 7 years older than I. (I'm 40, she'll be 47 in December-) Neither of look our age or act like it. I really don't think it matters as along as both are happy, and no laws are being broken. But I do think it strange when some one 21 is dating some one in the 60's. Easy Does It
  15. Looking back to my High School days, I'm surprised I lived through to my graduation. Drinking, getting high and driving was my favorite hobby, next to playing bass guitar and drums- How stupid could we get? I think, in Germany, one DUI costs you your license for life. Good deterrent from what I hear! Easy Does It
  16. A casual poll inspired by the diredtion the Ludacris thread was taking- Myself, I shoot a few times a year, and keep a weapon in the house for defense. I also beleive in (legal) concealed carry of handguns byy citizens. How about the rest of us?
  17. I've often wondered what posses anyone to handle a weapon like that (sideways) in the first place? I see no advantage- Screrws up the way you adjust the sights- (note of sarcasm-) Easy Does It
  18. Sky Knights, East Troy, WI- Miller products, usually MGD or MGD Light- Easy Does It
  19. Nothing like an S&W .357- I've got a 686 plus (seven round cylinder) It's nice that it'll use .38 special, too. Long barrel, nice for controlling recoil. I can hold 2 to 3 inch groups usually-- Easy Does It

    Good Luck, Bro! Easy Does It
  21. Shit, full body armor, Kevlar helmets, sidearms AND hostile fire pay! Shit, for that matter we should all be arming ourselves! Easy Does It
  22. At work I'm called a grumpy , crazy bastard. Easy Does It
  23. I usually jump a 150, right now it's at PD to replace the top skin on #1 cell. In the meantime they sent me a 170, and I'm going to demo a Sabre 2 just to see what al the fuss is about- Easy Does It
  24. Ash dive for me, over whatever DZ I jumped at last. Then I want my survivors to to throw the biggest friggen party they can- and invite everyone - wether they liked me or not. They can party like hell- I'll be reincarnated as a damn West Nile mosquito or some shit- I'm pretty sure I really won't give a shit! Easy Does It
  25. If you don't already, you're going to love the Spectre! Easy Does It
