    Wed. funnies

    While enjoying an Early morning breakfast in a northern Arizona café, four elderly ranchers were discussing everything from cattle, horses, and weather to how things used to be in the "good old days." Eventually the conversation moved on to their spouses. One gentleman turned to the fellow on his right and asked, "Roy, aren't you and your bride celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary soon?" "Yup, we sure are," Roy replied. "Well, are you gonna do anything special to celebrate?" another man asked. The old gentleman pondered this for a moment, then replied, "For our 25th anniversary, I took Bea to Tucson. Maybe for our 50th, I'll go down there and get her." My other ride is the relative wind.

    IQ's

    I got 144. My other ride is the relative wind.
  17. Jump #139. At about 10k, we would all have already put on our helmets, do one more check of 3s, etc, and get ready for the pilot to make the cut. The 4-way group us was to be the first out and just ahead of us. When the exit light came on, they were barely ready - still putting on their helmets, and just opening the door - and took time for to climb out. Everybody by then was yelling at them to get the door and get out. As soon as they left, my buddy and I doing a 2 way climbed out and got ready to launch. Little did we know that the exit light had now been switched off, and everyone was yelling at us to get back in. We launched anyway, did our thing, and broke off at 4,500. When I was under canopy, I didn't think that I'd make it back to the dropzone. Judging from my decent, my choices were the trees or an alternate landing area. I saw a house with some clearing and chose to put my landing accuracy to work. So I landed on some blackberry bushes, now my lines and canopy are caught on the thorns, and I'm about a mile and a half walk away. Lessons learned: Spotting is super important. Always spot. All that talk about hi-performance canopies, swoop landings, and downsizing would not have applied in this scenario: The landing area was about half the size of a tennis court and probably a student canopy could have improved the odds. Continuously working on my landing accuracy definitely has it's payback. My other ride is the relative wind.

  19. For the lazy ones My other ride is the relative wind.

    The Vote

    So why is it that you vote for a someone? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Here's what I'd like to see in happen, like it will: Say you don't like any of the candidates, instead of having to vote for the least popular, you can vote against the one you most dislike. That'll take one vote away from their count. My other ride is the relative wind.

  25. Like in Independence Day? V? My other ride is the relative wind.
