  1. I'm not a plumber -- But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night - (I think that's the right hotel chain-?)
  2. There may be a difference in engine or something?? Easy Does It
  3. Eat the ass end out of a skunk - Easy Does It
  4. I'm thinking maybe putting a team together to jump just the one meet? I wonder if I could talk Ken into coming up that weekend? - It's gonna be getting real hot in Florida - He might need a break! Easy Does It
  5. SWEET for hop-n-pop loads, too - Up to 4,500 in about three minutes - Make sure you're ready to exit when you board the plane! Easy Does It
  6. The car in Waynes World was a Pacer, (I owned one for a little while-) also made by AMC. AMC also made a car called the Matador, that was hard to look, but a pretty quick mover. Easy Does It
  7. A max of 17 is possible with this one also, but we suffer a loss in climb rate and fuel effciency, so we just put a max of 15 on board. Minimum is 8.
  8. The door is plenty hig and wide enough to make good 4-way launches. The straddle benches are nice, but will make 10-way stuff challenging. As far as I know we are arranging for an Otter for the MWSL meet. I'm not competing this year, but would enjoy a jump or two with ya! Easy Does It
  9. Hey - We have a PAC 750! Another new plane for you to jump out of! (translated - More beer!) But I still owe a case - Shit the whole club owes a case! Lots of cool stuff going on at our DZ this summer, too. Check out our website - www.skydivemilwaukee.com Easy Does It
  10. Bring it to our DZ - We'll make sure it gets taken proper care of. Easy Does It
  11. 0:2:0 Work Saturday, just as well, the wx sucked. Two jumps from the PAC 750 Sunday. One from full up and one hop-n-pop. We'll be doing well with this plane. Easy Does It
  12. I honestly don't recall. Some one out in Cali I believe. Easy Does It
  13. Thanks for the pics! She's at the DZ now, waiting for fair weather - Unfortunatley the forecast for the weekend sucks, but mother nature has been known to be benevolent towards skydivers- My daughter Sarah and I are both very excited! Easy Does It
  14. Hey - Me too! The PAC 750 arrived late yesterday! I've got theis great new Wings container sitting here in my office teasing me, too. (I brought it in for Show-n-Tell ;0) Weatherman says what?? Easy Does It
  15. You just answered your own question. Know your fear. Tunnel time will help build your confidence. Jump as much as your time and budget will allow. Re-arrange a few things if you have to. This will help loads, too. I was nervous this last weekend, my first jump back after a botched up landing injuring my ankle. It's natural. You know why your nervous. Relax. You'll have great time. Easy Does It
  16. Join the Club, My man! I just got back in the air myself after a botched landing in November (Tib/fib fracture, yadda yadda - ) It's a wonderful feeling, no? Easy Does It
  17. Make that promise every day you jump----! Easy Does It
  18. Lennys' Quick and Easy Helmet Bag: 1 - Find an old t-shirt that is still in pretty good shape. (No holes, can't read the paper through it-) Try to find one with a snappy saying on it, like "Trust me, I do this all the time." An old pullover sweatshirt is even better. (More cushiony.) 2 - Hack the sleeves off with knife or saw or something, and sew up the arm holes. If you don't have any thread, use dental floss. 3- Stuff your helmet in the t-shirt, then stuff all the excess fabric inside the helmet. (You can shove your gloves and alti in there, too, and the excess fabric will help pad things.) 4- Stuff that in your gear bag, and it's all nice and protected. 5 - Spend the money you saved on another jump. Or beer. Easy Does It
  19. Enjoy! Bring some tunes to play on the stereo system and let us know how it sounds, too! Easy Does It
  20. Get a rig and get your ass on the plane then! Easy Does It
  21. I used to get it all the time as a kid - I was 8 when the doc clipped 'em out. Hurt like hell but it was a good excuse to miss a week or so of school. Easy Does It
  22. Age - Old - It's all a state of mind - I got the same news last time I went in for an exam, too. I talked the doc into letting me slide one more year - Then a week or so ago I see a TV ad for some sort of multifocal sort of contact lenses. Maybe something like that will work for you? Easy Does It
  23. I must say----- We do it all for the boobies! Easy Does It
