  1. Okay, I lived in Seattle for 5 years, and while I was never a Seahawk fan I gotta take them over my most hated 'skins. You on, Lee? One jump ticket! steveOrino
  2. I was 15 years old the last time they won a national championship (1970) and they won one in 1969 and 1963 before that, during my time. I'm due! I take back everything I ever said about Mac Brown! Double edged sword though, as I bet Vince leaves for pros now. Anyway, I'm wearing my TEXAS burnt orange tee shirt today! Hook 'em!
  3. The BADDEST black hats I ever saw were the Special Forces UWO (SCUBA) guys in 1978. First week or two they were murder! Run .. not no shuffle!!! RUN! 4-7 miles every day. 1 hour of PT followed by cookie runs (sprints until someone lost their cookies). All that by 9 AM. Then the pool/ocean stuff started! Longest 3 weeks of my life! After week two -- they lightened up a little. steveOrino
  4. I'd like more info -- You can email or PM if you'd like.
  5. Mine is outside of the DBox, but my DBox is so tight I couldn't have it any other way. Is your DBox big enough to house the cam eye jack too? If so, isn't the camera too losse? steveOrino
  6. I'm not too keen on when ... seems neither was Jesus ... No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Matthew 24:36 As a Christian, I can barely stomach all the end of the world "prophets". Too much glee that the rest of the world (unsaved) will go to hell. steveOrino
  7. Redskins are in the playoffs -- what more could you ask for? steveOrino
  8. not a geek, so I'd buy an new one. steveOrino
  9. We lived in Anchorage from '82 to '89 near the Chugach Mountains. Great place to visit. Tough place for a Texan to live. steveOrino
  10. Weegegirl, you are up! Happy New Year! steveOrino
  11. I had two chows and one siberian huskey. He loved to run!!!
  12. I'm not selling - I have no clue who this guy is. But send it to me and I'll autograph it and send it back to you.
  13. Some guys did this at our DZ a year or so -- dang! I was out of town (Cancun
  14. Okay, so it is going for $00.15 -- some guy is selling my first book of cartoons on Ebay! How cool is that! http://cgi.ebay.com/ALL-GODS-CHILDREN-GOT-GUM-IN-THEIR-HAIR-STEVE-PHELPS_W0QQitemZ4600518233QQcategoryZ378QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem steveOrino
  15. Been with one eye since 2003. Since thgen, I got my PRO and fly vidiot for cessna DZ. But why do we need a big landing zone? I fly better and safer than most. steveOrino
  16. Steve, you fed Ian, now he won't leave. Like my momma said, "Don't give that stray cat bologna! Next thing you know she'll be having kittens underneath the porch!" steveOrino
  17. From my days back in '77 ... I took my brother's advice (jump school '69) and was gung ho! While being MR. AIRBORNE helped me during zero week, it nearly cost me starting ground week. Some black hat wanted to know who the baddest, meanest, mother out there was. Of course, I said, I was! He was on me like white on rice all day!. Was that a long day! So my advice ... Act unimportant, the enemy may be low on bullets. steveOrino
  18. Same here, but I get all the money for "upgrades" stills/DVDs. I lik ethe arrangement. steveOrino
  19. ` I misread -- I thought you wanted $ for digital stills. We get $30 for video and an additional $20 for a disk of digital stills. If we upgrade to DVD that is an additional $15. I often combine the digital stills & DVD upgrade to $25. That way I get paid $55 for a video jump. I pay for all supplies and editors (if needed) steveOrino
  20. Welcome to a great sport. One thing I discovered real fast is my local instructors had just about EVERY bit of information out there, and they knew me. They knew my strengths and weaknesses. I'd ask them all of your questions. I bet they'd love to answer them. I remember several years back asking Lloyd, the DZO, about a certain canopy some dude on dropzone.com was trying to sell me, and he said, "Steve that is 7 cell F-111 canopy! You don't want that!" Imagine that ... someone on dropzone.com not putting my interest above his! Trust your local instructors! steveOrino
  21. Look at the bottom -- should be page links steveOrino
  22. We are a small cessna (500 students a year) dropzone. We don't "give" away CDs of pics, but we "sell" them as un upgrade for $20. The vidiot gets the entire "upgrade". steveOrino
