  1. I suppose there is a God for you if you beleive there is- but I also feel organized religion is mostly for the weak-minded. Easy Does It
  2. Too bad Sky Knights isn't an option - We'll have a Twin Otter all season this year, and arrangements to bring a King Air in also shouldn't be a major task- Then you've got options - 182, King or Otter - And I know the board is interested in increasing our exposure- So is the tenative location going to be Chicagoland or in Indiana somewhere? Depending on the timing I can be at either one- Easy Does It
  3. Queen size here, absolutely motionless waterbed - I love it and so does the wife- We keep it turned up to 90 or so in the winter- Nothing better for warming things up!! Easy Does It
  4. I touch my handles all the time- For all the above reasons- and it sets a good example for the newbies, too- I like touching my handles- It's really fun to walk up behind a skychick and ask- "May I touch your handles? I'll let you touch mine If I can touch yours! Easy Does It
  5. I have a Racer- Bottom, left, right, top- I also use my kness, and sometimes other body parts. A pullup cord comes in really handy. Haven't figured out how to get my 18v drill involved yet, and although tempting, I've avoided the use of farm animals. I am also exploring methods involving nice ladies with pretty boobies. (Or is that pretty ladies with nice boobies?) But for some reason I lose track of what I was doing- -- ,< long pause > Oh, yeah- closing my container-- Easy Does It
  6. All black. Matches everything. Easy Does It
  7. Savings account - I like to keep a couple months mortgage in there, just in case, and we are savings towards buying Sharon a new car. IF we get a return this year (we've been paying the last three years--) she said I could get a new jumpsuit- but wait until I get the bill from my rigger (the Racer needs alot of work-) 401k is in the tank- Good news is, at the end of this month, all the loans will be paid off (including my rig) and our cash flow will improve nicely! I'm also due for a raise next month, and so is Sharon! WooHoo!! Easy Does It
  8. A quick thanks for the reality-check link Whew! Ok now- My input- Think about it- Take the weapons away from the people- and criminals - (CRIMINALS_-PEOPLE WITH LITTLE OR NO REGARD FOR THE LAW-) Can now walk into homes, up to cars, into shops, etc, with thier illegal guns, and commit crimes with impunity. Thier victims, people who most normally obey the laws (which is why they are unarmed) have little or no defense. (Unless new technology becomes available that enables them to dial the police, and have an officer dispatched to the scene and arrive in less time than it takes for the the bullet to leave the muzzle of the criminals' gun and strike the victim) Do stiffer penalities for illegal gun possesion deter these guys? Think about it- thier life has already deteriorated to the point that they have turned to crime. Breaking one more law doesn't phase them a bit- They need some more crack, or whatever, and that is the only thing that matters to them. If a person is willing to go to jail for murder, do you think a five year sentence for doing it with an illegal gun is going to stop them? And how about people who get stabbed to death- When do we go after the cutlery companies? A while ago a person was beaten to death with a baseball bat- I wonder if the victims' family is going to sue the Louisville Slugger compnay? And for that matter- Sue all the alcohol companies and bars and automakers, because they thet produce, sell and enable people to drive drunk and kill people- Oh, and make drinking illegal- And driving, too, then no will die in auto accidents. Concealed carry is a deterrent. I think alot of folks miss the point. And If I'm not mistaken, a concealed carry permit is not exactly easy to obtain- Background check, training, (which I beleive is conducted in co-operation with law-enforcement agencies-) etc. OK- I've rambled enough--- I sure am glad BOOBIES don't kill- Easy Does It
  9. My whole family is cool with my skydiving, except for my wife, and even though she worked at the DZ for a shoert time, she still doesn't get it. Getting her to do a tandem is out of the question. She hates being what she calls a "skydiving widow". ( She was a golf widow and a football widow in previuos relationships.) And I have no intention of giving up jumping. I can only hope one day she starts to reealize what it really means to us, as skydivers. Hopefully your parents will realize how much you love jumping, and will be happy to see you so happy. Easy Does It
  10. OK then- Happy New Year, ASSHOLES! All the best for everyone! Easy Does It

    why marry?

    Shit- I'm on my second marriage- All I can figure is I must be a glutton for punishment- Why the hell did I scrrew up a perfect dating relationship? Easy Does It
  12. I spent six years in the bloody institution. "Better education through intimidation and humiliation" Scarred me for life, it did! Easy Does It
  13. I don't know why, but the first answer that popped into my head was "Who ever is closest to the door, because they got in last-" For some reason my humor has been like that lately. Must be that time of year-- Easy Does It
  14. It's about time some did something to stop those evil Christmas fruitcakes!! Easy Does It
  15. hp7950, and an NEC Multisync LCD 1700M+ monitor - Don't know what's inside, But it's been hot-rodded a bit. Easy Does It
  16. I hear ya, dude- I spent 9 years- in the 'force-- Come to think of it, I did get laid more as a poor bastard- Now I make a decent living, and got married- well- You know the rest - - At least I get to jump with some hot ladies once in a while! Easy Does It
  17. I would if I could! Easy Does It
  18. Yeah I may watch it too- This should be a hoot! And I have to admit- I was once a 19,000 a year bachelor once, too! Where were the hotties THEN??? Easy Does It
  19. I agree 100% - When I had my cutaway, it was like my hands had a mind of thier own- You'd swear I'd had a bunch of cutaways. Needless to say I was quite pleased with myself, but I STILL go thru all the procedures several times before each jump. No complacency here! Easy Does It
  20. Absolutely! Every time I give it to him (I usually drop it off at his shop-) I go through the whole procedure- cutaway and pull, and all the parts are right there, ready for inspection and repack. Easy Does It
  21. Static line here- had to repeat one 15 secon delay and one 30 second- Yep- Hop-n-Pops are a piece o' cake. I remember AFF students really freaking on thiers, while I was doing them for fun! S/L was good for me, as it is front-loaded with canopy flight. Easy Does It
  22. I taught myself while I was in the Air Force- Haven't tried in a long while -- Easy Does It

    About 80 jumps here- I still suck- about a dozen were gifts for my 40th b-day.(Thanks to some very cool friends at SkyKnights!) Next year will be much better- Easy Does It
