  1. Black with Magenta piping.OH,by the way,it was half price when I won the tracking contest(Suckers).
  2. Not in the strictest sense that most religions require and excuse my wording "Preach".I really take offense to having religion thrust upon me by anyone.Does anyone remember the "Separation between Church and State".Here,in this part of Va. if your not a Southern Baptist Bubba or Bubbet you ain,t shit.She my point?
  3. Start work at 6:00 a.m. monday at Northrup(spelling?) Grumman Newport News working on CVN 69(Dwight D. Eisenhower)(GOOD NO.)Humm,worked on the drawings for that carrier back in 94.Gonna get me a hat this time.Look forward to making more jumps come spring time!(Yahoo!)
  4. OK,sorry about that.I think what I meant to say was they used to list "Continuous Member Since" Dates.Was a little impatient about the process.Anyway,I started jumping in Aug. 1975.Let my membership lapse while I was going to college(money tight).Still made wind dummy jumps at VPC meets and learned judging from Carol Clay and Bruce Little to name just a few.Have tried to pass on some of what I learned from time to time.Rejoined and became a lifer in 1990.To make a long story short they sent me my card with 25 years on it.Guess this means I get another piece of paper?Have been real reflective this weekend.Mostly about the friends who are not here anymore.Blue ones,later.
  5. Yes,but guess they were busy or on vacation.Go through this every year with them.Will try again monday(politely,this time)(lol).
  6. Okay,here is the poop and just the poop.Been a member of uspa for going on better than 25 years.In Dec. they sent me my lifetime renewal form which stated I had been a continuous member for 22 years.Funny,the card sent(2002)listed me a member for 23 years.Okay,so I made copies of everything and sent it off.Please update my membership in the computer to read 24 years(2003).Makes sense right?Anyway,have written,called(voice mail),e-mailed and no response.They used to list years of membership directly on the card.Humm,somebody must have decieded that made too much sense and stopped doing it!Argh!Now,it wouldn,t bother me so much,except,I,m approaching 25 years(2004).Any help,Ideas on how to proceed without really pissing USPA off again!Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
  7. Started out to be Canopy until I made my first 60 second Freefall out of a Skyvan.Up till then I had not gone past 29 seconds!Was big time hooked on both after that jump.Tried to learn as much about flying whatever parachute I was jumping at the time as well as do as many RW jumps as I could afford,borrow and sell stuff for.Those were the days when you(I),we,eat,sleep,all we think about is jumping!Wish I could get that back somehow sometimes.Thanks for asking.
  8. Character!I got loads and loads of it!Used to be BS until I learned some stuff about parachutes, this sport and the wonderful(mostly)people in it.Vote for me!(not a cute post whore!)(lol)
  9. The blind jumps I made at the herd Boogie in the late 70,s come to mind.Anyway,needed to have a spare pair of glasses and "Did Not".Jumped as base lead in a 4-Way Diamond launched out of a Skyvan.Everything was cool till the last jump we made.Formation funneled around me and I got kicked in the face by somebody.Could barely see and then moisture in my eyes form the impact with the foot.Freefell longer than usual to make sure I was clear of everybody else.Short Canopy ride.Opened somewhere between 1,200 and a 1,000.Didn,t feel the need to jump anymore after that 1.(lol)
  10. 46,having my second sexual long term relationship as a manchild having great sex with his GF.Oh,by the way,she is 57 going on 14!(lol).
  11. Have not had a cutaway in over 15 years.Never had to use any of my square reserves yet.(Knock on wood of course)
  12. Shit,O.K. who got hold of my playbook?Robert,s rules on proper oral sex of the female organs.(LOL)
  13. Is that a hospital injury?My last hook turn was a bruised kidney.2 soft butt strikes also happened over a period of about 10 years.i,D SAY THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD?Still.I have never hooked my present canopy or any "Jedei" for that matter.Made the choice to stop what might hurt me worse.
  14. You are not alone in this.Work along with home pressures can easily overwhelm us!Mine manifests itself(my stress)in my lack of ability to get the proper sleep I need .Anywhere from an average of 2.5 hrs to 4 hrs of sleep a night.It seems work gets all my best(or best I can muster)effort while my personal life at home with my GF really suffers.If you find the answer please let me know.
  15. I have 2 A.A.S. Degrees.Drafting and Design Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology.Have never really been convinced that I should get a B.S. in Engineering.Would have to do 3 very tough years of serious study to do it.Yikes!
  16. Yeah,she is really yummy,black or red hair.She makes any mans heart beat a little faster.
  17. I return to mine every few years.Been here about a year now and have an exciting 4 jumps there.Oh Well,have other things that need doing more.(my GF)(lol)
  18. Well.I,m too busy being a stud to do well with tests.Just ask my bitch!
  19. She buys Victoria Secret scents.She wants me to restock her supply for our 1 year anniversary!Will not break me,but,it is on the expensive side.
  20. Feel sad for ya.We have been humping our butts off lately at work.It make the days,weeks fly by.
  21. No,my fun is just more reserved now.Been to most of the really good boogies.What,s so great about 1 more?Seen most of the Videos.
