  1. Check out the Live flight tracker Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  2. Sad situation, I hope the staff make it through OK. I loved jumping at Otay. It has a beautiful landing area and has nice, steady winds. Can't say I'm surprised tho - Buzz is a shrewd businessman. I'd be curious to hear about the contract details... Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  3. Drat, I was hoping the one in Summerville was permanent. They are right by where I take riding lessons and I could hang with the skydivers after. Darn! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  4. Wait, so the operation I've seen the past few weekends at the Summerville airport isn't permanent? Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  5. Drat, anywhere else we can view? Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  6. No photos of the landing? I was taught that if I flared high it was ok to release to my HIPS, and reflare at the right time... But never, ever any higher. Did he totally release to above his shoulders? Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  7. Holy moses, was that Denny "snake" Chalker? I recognize Joe Moma too! Who else? Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  8. a little quiz here I scored slightly high female. Hmm. I also didn't have a ruler to measure my fingers so I guessed. Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  9. injury money lack of confidence to not get injured again the risk is not worth the reward IMHO Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  10. I quit, or more appropriately, silently slid out of the community. I haven't sold my gear, cuz I never sell my toys. Am I happy I quit? Yes! My priorities changed... Do I still look at my skydiving pictures on my desk everyday and check the sky for clouds? Yes. Am I pondering a tandem for my 40th - oh hell yes. Am I ready to go through all that it takes to get recurrent again? Nope. Will I ever be? Probably not. I know a certain fabulous lady who didn't jump for 10 years and is back in the sport. So have no fear, the air is always there. I would hazard to say a more appropriate question is if you quit skydiving do you ever *really* quit? Is a chicken omelette redundant?

    This sounds suspiciously like Mulled Wine... I've only seen the teabags in germany that you steep in warming red wine. Might have to hit World Market so I don't have to make it from scratch for Halloween! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  12. So, Steven, how did you hear about skydiving? Why the tunnel vs. a tandem or AFF? What computers games do you like? I am hooked on WoW at the moment.. Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  13. Anyone out there working tandems in Las Vegas? I'm looking for a buddy named Derek who was working out there maybe a couple years ago? Tall guy, good looking, funny as hell. Ran across a few pictures of him yesterday and wanted to see how he was doing... Thanks in advance for any info... LH* Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  14. Any helpful tips for hardwood floors. Our new (pre-owned) house has hardwood entryway that has taken years of abuse. I really don't wanna sand and refinish, but it seems it just soaks up any wax type stuff I put on it! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  15. A very wise skydiver once told me while I was unemployed - NEVER SELL YOUR TOYS! I still live by that credo. Is a chicken omelette redundant?

  17. boy, do I smell Deja Vu! I did this in college more times than I care to admit. My favorite when the landlords come by and ask "who's dog is that?" "Oh, that's my parent's dog. They're in Europe for hte summer, so I'm dog sitting." When the summer comes and goes, my parents mysteriously extend their "vacation." Also recommend getting the carpets professionally cleaned every 3-6 months. Makes the landlords really happy and depending on how bad your wet months are, you too! Landlords like to hear that too. Also offer an extra 10% to your deposit for "pet protection" if he balks. Good to see they have a loving home and huge yard now! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  18. Shush you! We don't get snow, so it's a *snow day* Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  19. Even tho this thread is about to get one huge flame going, I have to agree. There used to be a time when manners were taught in school and at home and were expected of children in public. (oh how I wish I was born in the 40's) I appreciate a well behaved child. I can't even count the times my parents would threaten to put me in the car if I didn't behave at a nice restaurant or at a movie. It seems that parents these days are so busy with themselves that the thought to actually parent slips their minds... ergo the well deserved rant above. But then monkey-see monkey-do. Most adults don't have manners either, it's a never-ending vicious cycle. why do you think Nanny-911 is a HIT TV SHOW?! Kudos to parents who actually parent and teach manners and expect their children to behave. Oh, and for selling candy and cookies? Keep it in the lunchroom. If I walk by and feel like it, I'll buy one. Don't come to my cube, Don't knock on my door and don't spam me with silly emails for Sally-Jo's trip to the waterpark. /rant off LH* Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  20. Ahh, Monterey is my hometown! I hope you like the sleepy, small town atmosphere puncuated by some of the most eye-catching coastline the US has to offer. Byron is kinda close, Hollister is about an hour and there is a good group of belly and freefliers at the Monterey DZ. The Monterey DZ is actually in Seaside at the old Fort Ord airstrip. Landing area is a fishbowl, but not too advanced. You kinda setup over the go-cart track next door. Threw my mom out of a plane there for Mother's Day 3 years ago... man that was fun! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  21. easy A nice BIG WIDE SMILE HA! Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  22. No, I guess that Pepperell jumpers / TMs / etc don't surf DZ.com Oh well, he'll still have fun I'm sure. Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  23. Awww, thanks Keith! HUGS! I'd feel better if someone from Pepperell would at least PM meh! /bump /bump /inthenight LOL Is a chicken omelette redundant?
  24. Hey Pepperell Peeps, My stepfather, Skip Carter is heading out there on Friday for his first tandem. Guess he got winded out Monday. My mom (his wife) just passed away in Jan - and Monday was her birthday. Looking for a decent distraction he decided to tandem... Would you keep an eye on him for me? He's a retired navy pilot and now flies those big jumbo airplanes that transport Xboxes to Japan and stuff. He should be a fun passenger. I urged him to get video so we could laugh at him when we visit.
  25. John Travolta's wife skydives. Can't remember her name, not sure how many or where either. Is a chicken omelette redundant?
