  1. Man, Phree- That f*ckin blows, what the DZO said- 1:4:0 Got a speeding ticket on my way to the DZ - 60 in a 45- (Swear I didn't see the cop untill too late- Speed limit sign- Where?) Met DiverDriver and eeneR at our humble DZ in East Troy, made three jumps- got some great tips and learned more on controlling my fall rate and approacing formations. After a couple minor crashes, decided full face helmets are definitely for me! Fourth jump was just an uplanned, jump-out-with-three -guys- and- see- what- happens jump - So we spent fourty-five seconds chasing each other around the sky- Tons of fun! Chris, Renee- You guys ROCK!!! Hope everyone else had a great weekend! ROCK ON!!! Easy Does It
  2. I think one of my "obstacles" is working too hard at the dive, and I kinda forget to smile and have fun- When I am able to relax and have fun I find I do well (reasonably well anyway-) The hard part seems to be relaxing! I have made a decision to concentrate on developing good RW skills and becoming fairly proficient in that area before moving on to FreeFly- (that and it gives me more time to save up for a new, FF friendly rig-) And I LOVE floating exits! Put me on rear or center float anytime! Easy Does It
  3. Hell- I've got nearly 100 jumps in and still can't fly on my belly fer shit- but for some reason I keep on RW'n -- My basic canopy skills are getting pretty good, though- Easy Does It

    Indeed - Faith is another story all together- Perhaps at another time- Easy Does It
  5. Going out to dinner with the littel lady and some friends, then out to the club to get a little wasted, then crashing before it's really late, so I can get up in the AM and go the DZ and---- JUMP LIKE A SUMBITCH ALL DAY LONG!!!!!! Then drink beer and put a new faucet on the kitchen sink--- Easy Does It
  6. I'm supposed to be troubleshooting a thermocouple problem out in Production - before i go to a meeting on maintenance procedures and documentation - Machines are still running, who cares if they overheat? Easy Does It
  7. You don't like the G3 logo much, do you? Really cool toys, Den! One of the items on my list of things to do--- Easy Does It

    Oh Yeah Ya got that right that politics suck!!!! You can discuss them for hours- or days- and never come to anything that even remotely resembles an intelligent conclusion - Ya really gotta have some respect for anyone who make it his or her profession! It's beer thirty - I'm gonna kill some brain cells and see what GWB has been up to today - I wonder if he realizes he has the fate of a big chunk of our planet in his hands??? Man - for some reason I think the beer is going to be extra tasty tonite! Easy Does It

    Nope- Can't bail Paraguay on the library book issue - No oil involved, and they're not known for harboring terrorists. They do have a company that makes cool jumpsuits, so they're cool in my book! Easy Does It

    Good point! An awful lot of countries find it very easy to ask the US for money- Then ask for the loan to be forgiven because the money was squandered on some civil war that left thier economy (if there even was one to start with) in a shambles-- And of course, if it's on TV it MUST be true! Reporters never twist facts or push thier own liberal agenda! Easy Does It

    Trying weighing all the blood spilled in the name of various religions that preach it's wrong to kill? Wrong to unless it's to shove thier beleifs down some one else's throat - (Abortion is killing so I'm going to bomb a clinic and kill a dozen folks- ) Religion is for the weak minded-- Easy Does It

    It's absolutely about the oil - Anybody who thinks other wise has thier head in the sand, so to speak- And the whole ongoing conflict between Isreal and Palestine annoys the hell out of me- Sometimes I wish they'd just go all out and settle this thing once and for all! George W. definitely wants Hussien dead- It's just a matter of time before it happens- And odds are good they'll be nukes used- The problem GW has is he can only show so much of his hand- I think there may be much more at stake here than we the public know about - Keep in mind most all we know is what the media tells us, and the media - in any country - is controlled by either the government or big business or both - Know an easy way to tell if a reprter is lying? His lips are moving - Either reporting what he/she is told to or what thier personal beleifs are- Hard to find totally objective reporting anymore - anywhere- Sad thing is we're caught in the middle--- Easy Does It

    Yknow, about eight years ago the squadron I was with in the USAF was flying refueling missions over Bosnia (refueling UN/NATO aircraft - mostly non-US) and getting shot at with no defense. I got my first "thank-you" last year from a refugee who came to America with little more than the clothes on her back - She would have liked to have stayed in Europe but it seems none of the countries would have her- Seems to me when ever the UN needs muscle the US has to supply an awful lot of it - Or when the UN troops get in over thier head we need to bail them out- I feel like we get called on all the time to fight other's battles.

  15. Nothing looks better than a really good spot!! Except the canopy over your head after the spot! Easy Does It
  16. "Folks who write on shithouse walls, Roll thier turds in little balls- And those who read these words of wit- Eat those little balls of shit! And in the crapper in a dirty little deathtrap of a steel foundry I worked at -- "Smoke, fire and burning sand- This sure ain't the promised land! I'm old enough to know better, but too young to care!! Easy Does It
  17. Name here is Lenny-- Enough people to get pretty good at it--And I even stay awake most of the time, too! Just curious- how many folks here have gotten referrals? Ciao! Easy Does It

    Occupations

    First let me say WELCOME to the greatest playground ever! I work as a maintenance technician/supervisor for a thermoplastics compounding company- We make the stuff that makes the nice, soft cushy grip on your toothbrush handle, and stuff like that- (Like the new torso for the Barbie dolls, too-) We helped give her a belly button! My job is great, I get to play with all sorts of machines, I wear lots of hats- Mechanic, electrician, welder, pipefitter, etc- Seldom gets boring. Blue ones, Friend! Easy Does It
  20. Weel I gotta tell ya- If this marriage hits the rocks, the only thing I won't sell is my gear and my Harley- And I'll see how many DZ's I can jump at in one year-- Easy Does It
  21. The line is simple- Confident persons know when they're in over thier head and aren't too proud to ask for help or bail out if need be. Cocky persons usually wind up gettin' thier asses kicked sooner or later- It's up to you to determine your limits- how far you push it before you back the throttles off- Also depends on wether you don't mind eating a little humble pie now and then- Easy Does It
  22. Man- That is so cool! Enjoy! I would love to be DZ trash for a year! Easy Does It
  23. I just plain have ears that like to fill up with fluid during a busy day at the DZ, so I just take Sudafed- the kind that comes in little red pills- works good and doesn't screw my head up--- Easy Does It

    I just realized I went from "enthusiast" to "old hand" and never even noticed - No music from the heavens or anything - I don't even know how long ago it happened! Easy Does It
