  2. 1) wager= 3 jump tickets to the winner and the loser has to lap the hangar twice Naked. 2) Menu: Salad = Spinach, Kiwi, Raspberry with macadamia nuts and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing Soup = Crab bisque with hot croutons Appetizer = Drunken shrimp (Emeril recipe) Main course: Rock shrimp stuffed filet mignon with hollandaise sauce (another Emeril) Rice pilaf with lump crab meat and Rimenick sauce (yes Emeril again) Green beans and carrots sautéed in butter and shallots Dessert: Drunken black Russian cake This is a meal I have cooked for the adult only Christmas part I though every year. The guests rotate every year so I can make the same thing. Good Luck Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  3. One more 24 hour shift, a 2 1/2 hour drive, 1 hour to set up camp and the E.F.S.!!!!! Actually no "F" for me as I am an Edited for spelling Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  4. Uh huh... that's what we all said... A tandem jump is a great introduction to skydiving. Have fun! Jesus-H-Christ!!!! I didn't even want to do a tandem and look where I am now!!!! Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  5. pretty sh*tty isn't it. couldn't the all-mighty govt. put restrictions on the card, just like food stamps? still, once the money is spent on that gucci bag and the louis vitton stuff, it won't be there for food and diapers and clothing... hope the gucci tastes good... I think the government had good intentions by giving out the $2k. But as far trying to put restrictions on it would require a committee, staff and years of research, I can only imagine what that would cost Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  6. Are there going to be any festivities on Thursday evening (besides the obvious booze consumption) Also, does anyone have a BBQ I can borrow thursday evening to prevent me from having to haul one down? Thanks, phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  7. I recommend a bomber freefly suit manufactured by Flitesuit. www.flitesuit.com/ You can custom order your suit to fit you individual flying needs and they are very durable. I have 250 jumps on my bomber and have had zero issues with the material or workmanship. Edited sue to the fact I cant spell!! Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  8. /12/1 Lots of jumps of various types trying to site in my new camera for which I bought for. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  9. When will you be needing the frige? I don't really live close enough to offer mine once the boogie starts, but I'm sure we will find someone near there to lend you theirs
  10. You Mate, Go to you FJC class and ask your instructor these questions. he/She will be more than willing to answer them, plus your paying for thier advice Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  11. Worked overtime and saved. Then paid cash all at once (in for a penny, in for a pound). Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  12. Does it not appear obvious to everyone that when disaster strikes whatever personal attributes an individual has, peak?? Some folks out of the goodness of their hearts risked their lives to save others. Some of the rescued were thankful and offered what little they had to their rescuers. Others wanted and or demanded what they in their opinion are entitled to. Some stole, looted and destroyed. This is a society we and our government have created. Working for a public agency I see this on a day to day basis. I work in an area where most of the response are into low income apartments. It amazes me what this class of people will activate the 911 system for!! The majority of the calls are because they don't feel well for one reason or another and do not want to wait in the waiting room of the hospital (they think if you go in by ambulance you go straight to the back, WRONG!!!) Don't get me wrong, we do respond to legitimatecalls in these areas but they are the exception more than the rule. Just like the original post indicated, we as responders are treated like we OWE them our service and they are ENTITLED it. It really frustrates me when folks behave in this manner as I am looking at a 50' plasma TV and ubah stereo system that even though I could afford it, I wouldn't buy it. Rant over.

  13. Sick bastard. Thanks for the tip though. Not as sick or uncommon as you think. In some states they are issuing "benefit cards" so there is no paper money. This prevents the recipient an avenue for trading the food stamp money for other items. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  14. Very anxious as the flaps came down. Once out the door sensory overload for the 1st few seconds. I got the relax sign from my instructor then continued with the dive flow. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  16. CBR, this is a good article to read prior to purchase www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=43 I had to buy new gear to to my shape and size. I have an Infinity with a Raven III reserve and a Pilot 210. The Pilot 210 is an awesome canopy. I have over 100 jumps on mine and it's only opened abruptly once and that was due to poor body position. The openings are soft and on heading, but with that said, your body position and packing are the key variables in the opening sequence just like any other canopy. The best folks to seek advice from IMHO is you instructor and rigger. they know you better than any of us. Good Luck and Blue Skys, Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  17. I was there, where were you?? I left around 4 adter the last set of tandems..... Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  22. I was taught to fly my canopy through the landing and always be ready to PLF even from a run. If you cant stand up or run out the landing you need to dissipate the energy via PLF. Most other scenarios end with a THUD of some type. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  24. Dano, I am going out to the DZ today and will post a message. Can you please call mainifest and give them your contact information. Some of the regulars there do not use DZ.com. Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  25. You didn't fail if you learned something, you just need to repeat the skydive to completion (Damn another reason to jump again ) Are your jumps video taped? My instructor videos his students and I found it very helpful in correcting my errors. phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
