  1. Boy, HELL! His name is Sammy and he plays with yo MAMMY! Chuck
  2. it is my guest that their mailer got his with a virus and sent it out. Dave, posting the "whole damn thing" seems to be an incredible waste of bandwidth. . Personally, if I were so bent about it I wuold just call one of the two numbers listed. SkyONE
  3. Looks like a puppy poopie receptacle! Noice!
  4. Is that "bad," or "Baaaaaad?"
  5. There shall be no locking before it's time, lip! Chuck
  6. Agreed on that point. The guy does have singing skills and has that sort of broadway "animation". Still, the purpose of that show was to get someone a record contract and make him or her an "idol." I don't think that either of those finalists qualify as an "idol." Just my opinion. Chuck
  7. Not sure. Aggie Dave was the first person to mention the site here on the boards. Kate at SkyKAT (Raefordite on here) has one of the silver closing pins; I don't really like it. It would look a lot better if the entire pin was polished; not just the lettering. Good idea though. Chuck
  8. I must admit that I saw about 20 minutes of one of the final shows as I was bored and channel surfing here in The Rancho Deluxe. Good singers or not, I don't think either one of those guys will make it anywhere in showbusiness. Peter Pan Clay will not make it because he comes off like a complete candy-ass, and the big black guy, while having a booming voice, needs to lose about 100 pounds before any love-lost boozehags will consider rubbing one out over him. BWAHAHAHAHA! I agree that while that contest does a fair job of weeding out contestants head-to-head, they should, in the later rounds, make them bust out their OWN material. Chuck
  9. I would also recommend that you put something other than "hey" or "can you help" in the subject line. Not sure about Bill (or any of the rest of you for that matter), but if somebody wants me to actually open a piece of e-mail, then they better put something very specific in that line to identify themselves or what specifically I might help them with. Everything else gets deleted without ever being opened, unless it's from a known friend or relative. While we all would like to think that e-mail is the absolute substitute for snail mail and expensive phone conversations, it has become more of a nuisance in terms of "junk" than anything. I will make no assumptions in this particular case, but I can tell you I have inadvertantly deleted quite a lot of e-mail from people here on the boards because they were not smart enough to word their subject line in a manner that indicates "I am not spam." Chuck
  10. I like Mike; he is a good kid. As to the 53: if T.J. Landgren can land it (I watched at Atlanta last year), then it's all good. Putting lead on Mikeal would accomplish the same thing. Chuck
  11. Not sure why there would be a problem with an alti located on the bottom side of your body, out in clean air. I would be far more suspect of an alti reading that is held back in the vaccum. Anyway, as I happen to have a wedge, I am going to rig it up on my mudflap and see if I can avoid getting popped on the side of the head on opening.
  12. I see that crazy ivan just logged in
  13. A lot of us at Raeford jump "wedges" on the front of our legstraps. I am sure you can rig them to go through the mudflap (I didn't look at your pic). The lexan ones I have also seen work fine with altimaster III-sized units. I wouldn't sweat the "extra drag" of the mudflap mount. Me? I am about to sew either a clear pouch or a sort of velcro mount in order to attach a Neptune to the leading edge of my left arm, near the wrist. Wearing a wrist mound alti III works fine, right up to the point that you get your new SkyFlyer 3. Flying with your wingtips in your hands, though, make it nearly impossible to see your wrist alti. The Neptune will fix that for me. Chuck
  14. Wednesday....Yes, that's today, lip! While I was not able to get to the chat via the Pub, I did get to it no problem through Slappies. Get your asses to the PUB! Chuck
  15. Yes. The problem with finding it was that the canopy was black and grey, the d-bag was black, and the pilot chute and risers were black. We looked, literally, for three straight days. Chuck
  16. I think SeaBass pulled that damn handle on purpose! The malicious bastard! On a serious note: it could have definitely been worse. Katie (probably) pulled a friend of her's cutaway handle on a similarly funnelled exit. He didn't figure it out till his freshly deployed, brand new main ejected itself. The main was long gone. It was not found until at least four months later by the farmer who's cotton field it ended up landing in. Very unfortunate. Had he known it, he could have just dumped his reserve, but nobody noticed. Azul sends
  17. That was a very good piece. Andy, Luke and Keri are all totally cool. Chuck
  18. Agreed. Old school telemeters (which we have plenty of here at Raeford) do a fine job of ground to air video. Hell, the system the Golden Knights style team has is totally bad-ass. Anyway, what am I reading here? Chris, did you dock on someone jumping Mikeal Stevens' canopy? Chuck
