  1. Don't be nervous or geek out too much...enjoy all the sensations and the view.
  2. The same goes for potatoes and tomatoes, deadly nightshade family etc. There are lots of things that are very dangerous to eat that most people never think about. Fruit that has fallen onto the ground in a tropical type climate...Yikes!!! Scott, John, Vortex, and a few others can probably write volumes on the topic
  3. Too bad Dan Severn isn't 25 years younger, or that Dan Gable never got his chance to fight UFC. Then again maybe it is better that they do not participate, I don't wish any harm to come to the rest of the competitors. Ken Shamrock was a pretty interesting guy to meet in person, humble and kind.
  4. Oh Skymama? Did you have an extra banning to lay on somebody? I would say peach pie is the best, but then Andrea would have to move north over the state line.
  5. Use a steel beam with supports at both ends, make sure it lands squarely on the bearing plates. Steel beam for that would be in the 17lb per foot range I think, not very large but the flats of the "I" would need to be in the 4.5" to 6" area You can land the beam on the walls but they need to be reinforced to carry the extra load. 4 2"x6" at each bearing point installed as cripples will do, make sure they are fastened together well. and make sure you strap the I beam to the top wall plates for storm proofing etc. that small area under your roof in a storm would generate some lift. I don't have all the tables in front of me at the moment. That post is carrying no more than a 500lb static load. gives you a nice place to hang a porch swing
  6. I just have one thing to say. They must die. That is all. (quietly deciding which weapon to choose from)
  7. Go Marlene!!! stay safe and enjoy the jumps
  8. true, there are those who cheated their way to a degree, I have met lots of them
  9. Excuse Me? Fireman humor....my uncle was a firefighter for 35 years
  10. Not true in all cases...sometimes the post is a architectural fuckup in design.
  11. There are tables telling you spans and limits on all steel beams and most all structural wooden beams. Consult the published data and or visit the particular manufacturer sites. Always remember that there are some circumstances that may change the load data. Snow Load, Wind, People Jumping. Look at live load capacity
  12. No Business is good business...now go make the rest or your firehouse something good to eat, and make it fucking snappy
  13. Boxers are no match for anything but Boxers. Try boxing your way out of a fight on the street. Then make sure you have an ambulance waiting for you. It will always wind up on the ground
  14. I hope he called the cops on you, so he could explain to the nice officer (while he is being handcuffed) why he was so close to you that you would risk injury or death to kick his totally superior transportation choice
  15. >however I don't fancy dropping 200 kilos of bike . . . Quote What, do you want to live forever?
  16. Ordinances have to be passed in order for signage to be posted. Hint hint
  17. Then why reply? ok I will relent.
  18. My jumpmasters could not give a fuck about DZ.com Seriously I think they might be busy...Jumping
  19. He led an exemplary life and probably died without any regrets. That is saying a whole lot. RIP
  20. The stupid prop target designator was hilarious as well. Predators can lase their own targets
