  1. Both Katie and Clay are correct. I am not going anywhere except the dropzone and warmer climes anythime soon. I retire fully on 24 January and don't really even go to work anymore. Thankfully, I have plenty of other diversions to keep me busy..... Chuckie

    Music?

    I am the complete trance junkie when I am somewhere I can get it. When I am on the computer, I am always listening to the trance and hard trance streams at www.digitallyimported.com. Besides that, I can listen to literally anything BUT rap/ hip-hop garbage. Chuck
  3. What's up with that, Dave? YOU don't have one yet? I gots mines!
  4. The important thing is that I am going to be there. Come to Chuckie!
  5. OK, here is the Jig. We (Nathan, myself, and Ramon) are now sitting at Hans Paulson's house in the middle of bum-fuck Georgia. I stayed up ALL NIGHT last night partying, then made it to Raeford at about 9:00 am. Nathan had made it to the dropzone last night, but was give bullshit information as to my whereabouts. Anyway, I policed him up at around 9:00 am this morning, then we hooked it to Atlanta. I was BLISTERED, but we made it anyhow. After stopping at my mom's house in Atlanta for a short visit, we went to the Atlanta airport (two hours early) and commenced drinking like VIKINGS. By the time Ramon landed and made it to the baggage area, me and Nathan were properly primed. Now, after arriving at Hansy's, we are about to crash (when the beer runs out), and practice for the meet all day tomorrow. Good night to all, and to all a good night. Skymonkey Swoop Team
  6. I had his number and lost it. I MUST leave for Atlanta tomorrow, with or without him. Anyone got his number, call me at (910) 273-6291. That's my cell; I am on the way back to the DZ. Chuck
  7. I voted "earlier." You don't need to know how early I figured it out. Do you really? OK. Nine years old. Call BS if you like, but I swear it's the truth. Chuck
  8. Anyone know FOR SURE if he is on the way here? SkyGal? Anyone? We have to leave tomorrow morning for Atlanta, with or without him.
  9. You shall have to impress me with your fiesta and skydiving abilities, or at least give it a good try in order to join the skymonkey clan. I have the feeling that there will be many, many stories to tell after this one. Chuck
  10. Me and my friends thought it was a cool movie.
  11. So, you have been to Raeford then? Here or Orange for sure. Life is good here in the country. Chuck
  12. Exactly. The only time I really look at an alti on an RW dive is during the track, after my audible goes off. Until recently, I kept my alti on the front of my left legstrap. It's hell on the alti lens, though, so when someone walked off with my alti one day, I just never replaced it. Now, the only time I look at an alti is when I am doing AFF and tandems, and then only when my "clock goes off". Chuck
  13. Lisa, just don't flare so much that you pull back up, off the slope. Get your landing gear tighter under you, but more out front and be prepared to slide it out, that way you don't take a header trying to run it out. Chuck
  14. It sounds to me like the track leader was doing a very shitty job of leading in a backtrack. If the flock is basically belly flying, with no "real" tracking lift going on, then what's the point. Get somebody with some length to them (as well as some tracking skills) to lead the pack. A pretty freefly suit and a $1500 camera does not a tracker make. Chuck one flat-tracking sonofabitch
  15. Me too. I hate dreary, wet weather. The pisser here is that I don't even have to go to work! I was going to fly along for a military contract SL operation yesterday, just for shits and grins, but we were IFR and just cancelled instead. Can't wash my dog; he will just roll around in the mud. Can't move furniture; it's RAINING! Don't feel like partying. Wait, did I just say that? Chuck
  16. I will have no problem catching you on any axis; believe that. When I DO catch you, we shall tango. Chuckie
  17. Ooooh! I will flail with YOU anytime, my little monkey princess! Chuck
  18. I would not pay more than $600 for that here in North Carolina. My dad was just up here and found a Sabre 150 with around 400 jumps on it and zero damage for $500. Chuck
  19. If any of you don't take kindly to being organized by "outsiders", then I will gladly organize big flat stuff, tracking dives, hybrids, or whatever. Just none of that 30 second no-contact head-down flailing. Chuck
  20. I set mine to the maximum allowable, thereby making less work for myself. Chuck

    DSL

    Dude, I could NEVER go back to dial-up and keep my sanity. Out in the RV, I use my sprint phone as a modem for my lappie. It's primitive, but it works. No high-speed availability on the dropzone, so I generally just post from town, at home. Chuck

    That was a funny-ass movie! The only thing that made me cringe was the intentional paper cutting. The electro-shock skit was fucking out of control; very funny. The golf carting was fantastic, as was the oversized shopping cart thing at the beginning. Chuck
  23. It definitely needs to be kept together. Splitting it would make it more difficult to cultivate and maintain the network of like-minded sophisticates I have grown so fond of. That, of course, makes it possible for me to travel all the world over and have "safehouses" wherever I might be. Having to wade through regional forums would only tie my online time up further. Chuck
  24. As it stands, I think I will probably be there. CSS is very cool at Thanksgiving and Easter. I still might be swayed into going down to Z-hills, but if I am at CSS I will certainly help you out with some coaching. Chuck
