  1. Since I just finished... I did 27 work-up jumps which totalled $2,118.25. The AFFIRC including jumps were $684.00. I had video on all my jumps, so the grand total was $2,802.25, not including beer. Throughout the course I lived on water and hotdogs and cough drops. Now the real fun begins.

    Yep. Started when twins were popular in the '80s. Used to frequent Scripps and lived by Beacon's. Landlocked now, but pretty close to the dz.

    No big... Just means less people in the line up!

    Nope. A nice wet ride.... Anyway, feedin' time is around sunset.
  5. Yep, dress for success.... I just finished the AFFIRC and had fall rates between 112-120. I used the slip-on sleeves that SkymonkeyONE referred to. They gave me better range quicker. (Did that make sense??) Or you could do what my video guy wore: a wing suit with a weight belt. BTW, good luck with the #27 exit. Shark AFF/I
  6. Dude, Don't you listen to your instructors?? Shark AFF/I
  7. Me too. But I also like doing a 1 point big way on occaision. Lately, a 30 pt. 2 way has been a lot of fun, when the 4 way isn't happening.
  8. Congratulations! You are a number now. And we will welcome the beer you buy us in the Bombshelter during the M-Day Boogie!
  9. Only this rat hates to be ignored and wants attention; and money.
  10. I can't wait to read some of the answers... First of all, if I'm armed and he points a gun at me or my family, he will already have a double-tap to the forehead. If he's drawn before me, I've already lost. Of course, that's a bad analogy.
  11. Nope. Wouldn't even say hi or acknowledge.
  12. TINS - I taped a few hours of barking, then knowing that my neighbor worked the 3rd shift, I played it back on the boom box for him while he and spot were sleeping during the day.
  13. Your skills are admirable.
  14. /me senses that the Mardi Gras boogie will not be the site of a new dz.com RW record.... I think it'll be a record attempt if 11 of them end up on the same plane.
  15. The most recent for me was a crew jump. I was to dock 9th on a 10 stack. Just hanging out and sashaying for a long time was challenging. Then number 8 made a few attempts then bailed out. I went in and got hooked on my second attempt. Unfortunately, the dude that was supposed to pin me did not get in. Afterwards, we broke up into 2 4 stacks, then everybody broke it down into smaller stuff.
  16. So either way, we don't know what's going to happen, right? Does my uneducated opinion count? I've earned an MBA with an emphasis Finance, am I able to tell the financial well being of a corporation? Yes, but could I have predicted that Worldcom or Enron would become bancrupt and delisted? No. Bottom line is that nobody knows. May be we should have a historian chime in... It's all speculation. When Operation Enduring Freedom started in Afghanistan did terrorism increase or decrease?
  17. How do we know for certain? An assumption? What if Saddam is not removed by force and remains as dictator, will terrorism decrease?
  18. Dude, That's gnarly! Hope you get him back. Guess he didn't like being confined to quarters. Shark
  19. Katie, You have a great room! Got some cool pix, too. How are your whuffo roomies?? Take care, Shark
  20. and don't ferget them cold February days, too!
  21. Dude, All Sinker was seeking was good vibes. Apparently, you demonstrated that it cannot be found here within our community of skydivers. Answer it respectfully or don't answer it at all.
  22. ....one Nation under God....
