  1. Hey, Jimster Need to come by and seeya for another pair of goggles. Seams I lost mine in a rice field while trying to keep from drowning under a Power Paraglider. Snakes, I see Snakes..I guess thats better than seeing gators.
  2. The question was once asked of me...can a power paraglider land upside down. With some reflection, it turns out it can.
  3. Alright folks, were dealing with an educated man here, this could mean trouble for all of us. With 10709 post to his credit...no telling what this man knows or even who he knows.... But I still like the POST, good info, yes sir, good info.
  4. Naked people riding horses, I must ponder this..HMM
  5. See, I used There instead of their..but do you care.
  6. Maybe I should have used a better topic sentence. The primary purpose was to show how something can be misspled and still be read. A person who can spell a word more than one way shows they have a creative mind. Or like me, there a product of Public Education. We all have our crosses to bear, bear..is that proper??? It looks right, it sounds right...but is it really. Sorry, got to go load up the RV-7A and fly on over to SkyFest.
  7. Read the following. I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed Typoglycemia. Thought it was pretty cool.
  8. Yea, it will go, worked with this crew way to long for them not to get back into the air. Good luck to the STS-114 crew (Discovery) return to flight.
  9. Yea, its going to be a tight squize in that pond...did I say tight..yea its going to be good. Well I'll tellya...slap me down like a dog and kick me a mud hole. Scaryshari you're starting to scar me, I thought it was just going to be the two of us and a few of your friends..hell your inviting everyone, its going to be murder just trying to get into the parking lot much less into the pond. Don't forget the Oil
  10. oh, I'll be bring my matching bananna hammock...you might want to bite it.
  11. Well girl, I'm alittle suprised that you appear to have gained a few. I'll speak to Steve and see if we can provide a C-130 to airlift you and I'll bring the Appllo chutes from NASA. Then we can do a two way. See ya at Skyfest.
  12. Jimster, Let Trent know we are pulling for him, Steve and Jed. See ya at SkyFest. Got them there Pull cords in yet, I'm taking 10 if you have some. Mine always seem to be walking off.
  13. To error is human, to blame someone else is more human. Well I'm sure it will all be brought into the light soon. cheers
  14. They don't seem to be doing a very good job. They appear to have already spilled the beans to you. Better make sure the judge doesn't bring you into this. Oh, by the way, the source has given them permission to bring him/her out before the Grand Jury. Thats why one choose to testify and the other jail. Still trying to figure that one out.
  15. Who cares, I certainly don't. Rove, please..sounds like another CBS story or something from the NYT, how many stories have they been found to have fabricated. Just as a thread has mentioned, if Rove was responsible for so called leaking her name as if no one else did not know who she was working for the liberal media would have hung him out to dry root.
  16. Hopefully its not become the norm. I've been with my wife for 22 years, 2 dating and married for 20. Romance is an everyday thing, its the little things you do each day that builds to those incrediable moments. We still date each other today, setting time out of our schedules of work and playing mom and dad to three girls. But like skydiving, if you want to master it and be the best you can be you have to make time for it, as is in dating or marrage.
  17. I agree, we should consider giving them back to their home country in a box. Its the least we could do.
  18. Do you know any buddist, humanist, universalist... that the same thing could apply?
  19. Hey, I think you forgot about them there Volcanos. Tell me they don't put out some serious crap. Haven't seen any topless earth babes protesting and demanding they clean up their act. Speaking of the Sky is falling and we are all going to die, ever see a whale take a dump. Hell the entire ocean is nothing but a big dumping ground for fish crap. Next Earth Day I'm going down to the Gulf and take me a nice long whizzz.
  20. Club Gitmo, a nice place to relax and get a much needed rest from Jihad. Club Gitmo is setting new standards in comfort for the weary terrorist. If only other prisoners had it so good.
  21. "It is a tale told by idiots full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

    active skydivers

    I'm envious of a stiff wind, looking forward to squeezing into a tight parking spot at the drop zone this weekend....Oh, I'm sorry what was this tread about...active sky divers? Its a whole lot I'm sure.
  23. During the first two year of a policy there is a contestability clause that gives most Insurance companies the opportunity to determine upon death the applicant did not make any false statements. If for example you said you don't smoke and in fact you do their only liable to pay the amount of insurance your monthly premiums would have payed at the smoker rate, or if killed while skydiveing they don't have to pay the death benefit, except the premium payments payed. Most companies have a questionnaire that covers pilot, scuba diving, skydiving, racing....., the actual sport does not mean you are not insurable you just might be rated at a higher premium payment for the added risk. Flying and Scuba usually gets you rated as standard and you might not be qualified for their Perferred rate. I've been an active pilot for over 22 years and just took up skydiving in Dec. 2004. I have 300,000 coverage for 30 year level term and my wife has 300,000 level term for 30 years and our premium is $105.00 per month. You also can have your skydiving excluded from a policy if you request it. Therefore in the event you are killed while flying in a jump plan or hook turn into the ground sending you into the here after you can rest assured your wife, husband and or children can suffer along with you when the bill colectors come calling. Protect your family financially, but lying on the application is not smart, your family will be the ones to suffer, not you, because your dead.
  24. Ear plugs are a good thing. I dive at the Neutral Buoyancy Labratory at NASA and had a reverse ear block about 8 years ago in my right ear. Extremly painful and caused some hearing loss over time in that ear. I use a special ear plug that has a very tiny hole through the center to alow pressure equalization. Hearing protection is very important if you plan on being in the sport for many years to come and protect your hearing. Cheers
