    She jumped at Perris years ago. She sold her gear. She is pretty nice for a Hollywood type. Easy on the eyes too.

    By the end of the season you should have about 50 or so jumps. Good enough for the Invasion I think.

    You jump at Eden North, a DZ full of greatly skilled jumpers. Ask for some freefall pointers and join them in Eloy for the Canadian Invasion, mixing in some jumps with tunnel coaching. Solo jumps don't add a lot to your freefall skill set. However it's great canopy control time. IMHO

    I fly a lot with my rig and have never had an issue. I think there are so many more regional boogies now, and there is now a turbine within 100 miles of most every jumper in America, makes it less appealing. I have a great central location in mind and have thought about hosting a huge convention like boogie, but I still have a bit of sanity left and have a wife that might shoot me if I take on one more boogie.

    And both Quale and Biden are pretty smart guys. They just have a habit of talking when the should have been listening.

    I remember that, Q. I though that was the last time I saw him. Seemed longer ago. I'll call Joe Pete, maybe he knows.

    Take the first aid class first. You'll then know how to use what you pack. The biggest need for a wilderness kit is to stop the bleeding. Gauze and cling tape work well.

    I was digging around through some old photos of my Eloy days and came across one with Late Jake far off in the background. I hadn't thought about him in a while. He was amazing, doing sit ups between loads and always packed for himself. He was in great shape after bricklaying all those years. He used to bring this scroungy little poodle named Timmy with him. Timmy used to run out into the LZ to get a Scooby snack when Jake landed. Does anyone know if he's still kicking. I think he would be in his late 90's by now.

    What? American farmers enjoy a "Socialist" government backed program. Oh, no. The horror...

    I hear a lot of skeeter spray is in order this year.

    This guy leads the charge for no taxes on the wealthy. Rich people don't create jobs. Most small business leaders are middle class. http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/07/14/norquist.pledge/

    http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2011/07/13/obama’s-popularity-in-arab-world-now-lower-than-bush’s/ So who cares? That's what all of the right wing nutters said here when GWB was wreaking havoc. "Who cares what the Euros think, we're Americuns, goddummitt". Hahahaha! Fail.

    20 years ago I said we would need a telethon to save America some day. I wonder if Jerry Lewis can emcee.

    That's a lot of dope smoking, hockey playing, tree huggers in one nation.

    We went jet skiing one early am at Dana Point, drove to Perris for a leap and then went night skiing at Mt. High. If I remember correctly, there was also wine, women and song involved. I was much younger then.

    The state of "North California" would love this! They could quadruple our water rates! Nothing like some podunk "inbred empire" politician trying to save us from the liberals. Maybe the new state could be named "Methville" or "Doublewide"..

    Who's Jack Jeffries?????

    When we did the boogies in Belize everyone thought I was kidding them about the crocs in the lagoons. We went down to one of them and watched the kids feed a chicken to the 14 footer named "El Diablo". Canopy accuracy skills tremendously improved the next day!

    The Conatsers never bought the jet with the intention of making money. They paid a pitance for it compared to an Otter. It was a fun project for guys that love airplanes. We all had fun with their fun. One of the engines is timed out, by a 10 year lifespan AD not hours. Pat told me it's about a $180,00-$200,000 fix. They're pretty busy now with a Skyvan project and a lot of other maintenance projects on the fleet. I know it also doesn't go over too well with the whuffos when it takes off over town. I crack up when people say..."You know what this drop zone really needs".

    Have a great time working at Wal Mart for $1.50 an hour. Collective bargaining means a right to negotiate. Strippping public employees from the rights to negotiate is a socialist move.

    Canada is a big place. Where, when, what type, how long?

    Not many photos in Parachutist make me jealous. That one did. Awesome!

    Looks horrible. I am asking the wife if she wants to go be a pain in the ass at someone elses exotic boogie. I'll call you.
