  1. Yeah, but it wasn't their phault. You have been found guilty of a terrible pun. You are hereby sentenced to drinking a beverage of your choice, you hilarious ba***stard. It sound like the old I'll sue because I'm blond and not legally responsible for my actions, You have the legal responsiblity to protect my from my self,
  2. I have 87 log books all signed . Sometimes its an autograph nook. Lew Sanborn eic. I always laugh when at the bon fire and beer stories. One guy claimed to make 600 or 700 jumps last year . The plane never flew 600 or 700 times and the computer said 138
  3. I read the caption under the video. Did you know Paul Fayard had single tail Sky Vans. The interior had a resemblence to his Casas too. One of the guys that died on the South Pole jump from Ohio, His name hasnt come to me yet used to do a bartender jump at Richmond for sure. You flew up to him then he would pass you a beer then the next guy up the same etc from a pouch . You had to finish it before you landed. Nicest guy you'll ever meet . some one will post his name I am sure
  4. Re: mjosparky Give him a break, he's an old fart.
  5. I remember the belt drive dentist drill to well . My parents dentist wasnt getting any of those new fangled air drills. He was retiring in a few years. My last visit he said"Well Roger a few more visits we will have you done". I replied "Roger is my brother I am larry". He replied I must have gotten the wrong chart, I wondered why I couldnt find a cavity in 18. All this without Novacaine My parents were Christian Scientist. Never went back. I saw a comment about Jimmy Carter. We talked about his brothers Billy Beer today. There were bars that had dance contests. The winner got a six pack second place got two six packs Third place got three . Worst was you had to drink it there to go home. How many kids suffered through getting Levis {Button only} a few sizes to big because they shrunk so bad. Sitting in a bath tub of hot water turning blue so they would shrink to you. The other kids laughing about wearing your older brothers pants. How about the 1950 Studebaker that had the syarter button under the clutch pedal so you could start it even in gear
  6. Binding tape works ok . Usually its done on lower tandem passenger connectors. If the harness was loose it can be tough to dis connect. I have seen pull up cords used too. I made some with gutted 550 line finger trapped. The original reason they were on only Navy Harnesses was to get loose from a sinking harnees on water landings
  7. Alan Freed was a DJ from Cleveland ,Thus they got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Detroit was pissed on the final vote as it contributed a lot to R&R too. By the way Blue Suede Shoes was also recorded by Ricky Nelson with moderate success on Ozzie and Harriet show, A friend pointed out that Rickey's guitar had no strings Roger Nelson had a band at Freakport called "Rare Earth" all jump there.
  8. People always bad mouth bi-focals ,but after seeing Eva LaRue picture. Her eyes are beautiful, but her other assets are even more out standing. To bad she isnt shown in full view.
  9. By the three rings its after 1981 for the game.Dont know what the box saye.
  10. That would have been Poppenhagers place . If it was good for Paul its good for me
  11. The idiot has me facing the wrong way. I have been practicing like the kid on the super bowl commercial except mommy gave me mashed yams . I hope he brought a fresh shirt
  12. QuoteAlso they took an Otter up with just 2 jumpers? What DZ is that? Unless the guy was so rich since he had a ferrari that he just pays for the flight, then he has no friends but 1 guy that will jump with him? Next time i get on the plane ill hand the pilot my audible and tell him to match it toanes Close but not quite right the inside shots were an Otter . The outside exit was a Grand Caravan
  13. Sure looks like a C-185 to me . Also remember its not under FAA . They just say the're here to help, just like Mickey D's "You want fries with that
  14. A few DZ's in Michigan had Camo containers {OD| with matching caopies in both. Kind of spelled stolen to me . Also buying stolen stuff is a crime too. Take a picture of the seller with his knowledge and info and reciept. If their willing to do that its a chance its legal.
  15. A proud patch to wear was a Texas night 20 -way in the same era. Double white XX's on a black back ground. I was never in Texas but did a 16 and 12 in Michigan. My NSCR is 454 from 1974. With the faster squares later on NSCRs dropped down alot.
  16. you mean the "Fob pocket" (coin pocket) sure all the time Except it's not a "fob pocket." It's a "watch pocket." only in your narrow view of the world Qualude :) Google it Squeaky. It's a watch pocket. I totally agree its a watch pocket Thus pocket watches. Remember "Levis" were made around 1849 with rivets for the California gold rush. Also cowboys wearing gun belts had no axcess to their pockets. You'll see in Western movies when they take money out of their shirts pockets to pay the "Barkeep". I use mine for a small knife when packing to cut loose a pesky broken rubber band http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=jeans+watch+poicket&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&sa=X&ei=kfYYT-DeE6nWiAKDuvS6CA&ved=0CF8QvwUoAQ&q=jeans+watch+pocket&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=6fa3ce5e7226f4d8&biw=1298&bih=780 Quote
  17. I did 16 in one day when I was 66. We ran out of students not day light
  18. That submitter was form Napoleon Skydiving Center MI, What pissed them off was that the guy sent stuff in that way for 3 years. I used my team name at Freakport Quincy and Rantual . I was a load organizer and when it was announced it was funny to us. Our name was Papa Dupa and the flying Dupas. in reference to the Flying Wallendas Tight rope act. Having a Polish city inside Detroit city made easy axcess to their words.Dupas was what they call AssHoles. My absolute favorite was "Cunning Stunts"
  19. Are you aware of the good thing from Oldtimers? You can wrap your own Christmas presents . Hide your own Easter Eggs. Last your always making new friends
  20. All I ever heard it was from Wuffo's at air shows. They must have gotten their glasses at the days equivalent of "Big Lots" Optometry Department. I always liked "Why do you guys jump out of parachutes"? Another doozie was My brother in law jumped 'Airborne in 1961 alot 12 times I think and knows all about. But he never had one of thise flying mattress things.
  21. I started in 1967, You had the max of three people in the air at once on C-182 DZ's .No body was good enough to crash a formation let alone dock. PC's and rags were extremely reliable . Piggybacks had RSL's if there was a mal. You couldnt do any "Turf- Surfing" at 7mph. Chances of landing with in 30 yards of each other was unlikely or even at the same time.The most dangerous thing was driving home trying to get your Cardinal Puff Card.Early Ropes and Rings Squares opened a new ball game
  22. Seems to me it was when EFS was a craze about the late 70's or early 80's. Thought it was the Gulch area too . EFS could be had on T-shirts from Florida
  23. It sure only cosmetic to me .Below the bar tack and the actual Larks head itself seem fine . The frat isnt on the working side BFD just re hot knife it
  24. Is that from "Myth Busters" story about talking in free fall? The quote was "pull my finger and hear a tuba"
  25. How about an unquote. I hate the yuppies that show up but dont want to go on a load "Were waiting for friends .Number two after they arrive I am starved lets go eat . Ambling back much later to find out the manifest is backed up until sun down, Then to hear their reply while putting their gear back. "What a crummy DZ I was here all day and never got to jump, I am never coming back. My quote to that"You can always eat but you cant always jump . My Michigan quote is "Jump as much as you can because you never know when you can do it again your in Michigan 45 years of it here and trying for tomorrow wish me luck
