    Good luck with that......I'm 0-3 betting against her. Although one of those involved her flashing The Rack (tm) at a WFFC beer distributor for a free case.......so I kinda broke even on that one.

    The Flyers might be THE surprise team in the East. The hated Ducks are on a mission. My Pens always scare me this time of year. MAF usually can't stop a beach ball in May. This will be fun!!!

    So what will be the round one upsets? I have a six pack riding on the Kings vs Sharks with Skybytch

    Sit down with the S&TA at your DZ and discuss this.

    One of the nicest human beings to ever step out of an airplane. Fly Free my friend...

    We had the Goodyear blimp at the Oceanside Airport last year as they used it to stage for the Torrey Pines golf tourney film crew. I spoke with the senior captain about hiring it for jumps. He said the get calls every month for skydiving requests, but the company will not accept any liability and always says no. Always. Damn.

    Buy your own DZ. I know a great one you could have. Bring cash. On a serious note. Don't give up your day job unless you become a rigger, TI, AFF-I and pilot.

    People are pounding in BASE proximity flying at an alarming rate all over the world. It hasn't even been a tiny blip on the FSDO radar screen. Now one skydiver tangling with an airplane, or a lady nearly falling out of a tandem harness, that gets their attention.

    If it bleeds, it leads. News mantra. People die on Everest every single year. It will get 15 minutes and then it's on to the next crazy mom that drowns her kids or mass shooting. No one will really give a shit, except the jumper, his friends and family and a handful of us skydivers. IMHO

    I would love to have you aboard Sparky. I'll keep you posted.

    Hi guys, I have been approached to do a VERY high profile FD demo. I need 17 IAFF firefighters that can do an open field demo in front of a huge crowd. This will be conducted through the IAFF, thus the membership requirement. Active or Retired. Please send me a message with your info. If you have some flying firemen at your DZ, please let them know about this. Sparky, dust of that gear! Thanks!

    Hell, I still remember the Mullins' $99 Boogie Til Ya Pukes! You show up with one rig, pay $99, and jump all weekend, as many jumps as you can for that price from a King Air that got to 15K ft in 7 minutes. Those were the good old days. We host a $100 all you can jump day every President's Day. It's still the good old days

    There is one major International FAA/UK DZ rule #1.000.000 that you would need to follow. Start with a LOT of $$$... Everything else is just fluff.

    That's a GREAT deal for the KINGS. If he's still a bit hurt and a bust, he's only a rental, and he sure as heck will score more than Frattin's 2 goals. He'll also be playing for a new contract, always a good thing for a team. And I see the CBJ's are picking up some of his $$$$. A good deal.

    Luongo to Florida for a fourth line center, a third rate goalie and a used puck bag? What is Tort's doing? And now they are shopping Kesler? Why do GM's go along with a losing coach's requests for player trades? At least Dustin Penner had some pretty funny tweets on getting traded. http://msn.foxsports.com/west/story/ducks-trade-forward-dustin-penner-to-capitals-goalie-viktor-fasth-to-oilers-030414

    http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/mar/02/oceanside-airport-north-county-letters/ We all need more Stuart Cannes next to our DZ's. I haven't met him, but I want to buy him a beer.

    They already have those contracts and fly the Skyvan or Otters for them. The jet was Ben and Pat's little father/son project. They sure had a lot of fun rehabbing it and dealing with the FAA. It was pretty impressive to watch it take off at Perris. I'm sure the neighbors are happy it's going. It's about $150,000 to get it flying again, according to Pat.

    I'm surprised one of the questions wasn't "How many different canopies have you flown"? 36

    Sin didn't exist at the beginning of time. Sin was only invented when the bible was written. The Christian Right Wingers are so afraid of the Muslims and Sharia Law. How does this proposed law differ? Making laws, based on the religious beliefs of a certain sect or religion, to discriminate against any group of defined people, is a REALLY, REALLY bad idea. And a final note. I own a pink skydiving shirt. Will that get me banned from jumping in AZ? If only these legislators knew their "Gaydar" detectors are very flawed...

    What venue did Elvis play in San Berdoo??
  24. grimmie
    Best-"The Michael Stanley Band" Youngstown, Ohio. -"The Boss and the E-Street Band", LA Coliseum -"No Doubt" opening for "U2", LA Staples Center -"John Cougar Mellencamp" opened for'Heart", Blossom Music Center, Ohio. Heart sucked monkey balls and the Ohio farm kids booed them off the stage and chanted for "COUGAR"! Worst-"Don Dokken" a few years ago. No voice left. -Justin Bieber...hey, I have an 8 year old daughter
