  1. Then there are a few RD who are currently doing the job because if they didn't...no one else would. There have been regions without a RD because nobody wants the job. To be honest I think it's a pretty fruitless job! No pay, you have to deal with a bunch of whiny skydivers, be tied up several times a year away from family and business, and deal with the DZ's who feel the BSR's aren't that big of a deal.(not to mention using appropiately rated I's) ALL as a volunteer...and to qoute you on the subject of volunteering services, "These are the realities of working on the DZ. To suggest that someone do it for free is a long shot, but a maybe. To suggest that someone do it at their own cost is delusional."
  2. Yep...9/10 person tourney on Fri and the final table on Sat I think.....plus...... I'll let J clear it up...he knows whats up
  3. This was my main concern when he started avoiding questions....I know of 2 people who did that full time... just searched the internet within the private tourneys and played in those... Does anybody know phd from Tallahassee? Oh, J....I might not be able to deal on Wed or Thurs...I'll let you know....BTW how are those pics of Lee dressed up as Bee Arthur coming?
  4. hehe...if he would have been honest, everything would have been cool.... but as soon as he started to be shady, it got me wondering..... combine that with the "pan handlers" that somehow got access... ps.....he won $110 so I'm sure he didn't feel too bad!!
  5. Good playing last night!! If you were going heads up with a jumper, that might have been a 1st place finish!........good job
  6. ....gotcha!!...you should be in bed working man!!!!

  8. ..hehe.....that's EXACTLY what the weather did to me on my boogie!!! THats not going to happen in Dublin though...
  9. With the ONLY exception being they DON'T GET PAID!!! I highly doubt that you would be out selling coffee for the betterment of Juan V!!!! So how about we raise membership $10 a year (30,000x$10=$300,000 / by 20 board members = $15,000 a year to serve) THEN people will be more likely to listen and make changes no? How's things in Ohio Dave?
  10. hehe...I don't think that would be as big of a deal for her as it would be YOU!!!! BUT, let me know if that's the bet, cause I'll be sure to come after you!
  11. Wonder what most tandem manufactures would say about having hangers on tandems..... I know of two TI's that have had air to air combat with bags and parachutes of cameramen. That's why I think TI's should be allowed to carry cattle prods against cameramen and skydivers!!
  12. Then they are in the corner.....no?
  13. ....at least we know where we stand!!!! Hell he probably figured you were going to be in Tampa!
  14. So while we are talking about unnecessary risks and the student not knowing..... What about the tandem masters that consistently flare halfway and pound their passengers into the ground? I've seen 4 accidents from this in the past 3 years. How is the student to know he is going with a tandem master that doesn't flare the parachute? ...back on topic... Personally, I see no problem with me (or another experienced TM) doing a 90 onto final. (a slow smooth turn) I have a little over 2200 tandems.....But I DO see a problem where another TI will see me do that and try and copy it when they have little experience with a tandem canopy.
  15. .....when you lose EVERY single final game of the regular season in football.......... GO BUCKS......... My friends and I have $9,000 to donate to the extention of Lloyd Carrs contract!!!!!!
  16. Uh........rumor was it was found in the skyvan that morning......????
  17. Must of had the laterals fairly loose to do something like that......
  18. Dear Ryan, I agree with Mr. Lepka...(scary huh!) No matter how much weight you put on, you will always be my happy little monk...person. It makes me smile to read such a muture, intelligent post from you. I've watched you grow up before my very eyes.... I don't think the extra pounds will be too bad.....but if you go to a .86 wingloading your probably going to die......
  19. I think it's just as rude to the person on the other end of the line to. They can't hear what your saying, the person on the phone yells louder, then everybody around get annoyed at the guy yelling.... Either it's becoming the norm...or there are a large amount of people who just don't get it...
  20. Oh, C-mon!!! Everybody knows they didn't walk on the moon!! It's a conspriracy!!! Trust me I've heard all about it!!!
  21. Strippers?......I think there was more quality entertainment last year than strippers!!! ....well I guess they weren't bottomless but...... ...on second thought strippers might be good too!
  22. LOL!!! So it is ok that I got unsolicited mail from Kraft because it cost them money to do so? It's still Spam in my book....not on the computer, but the same thing. It cost me extra if I throw away more than the 55 gallon trash can I'm allowed a week or if I don't recycle that unsolicied TRASH they sent me....So, I encourage everybody to boycott Argus and their lack of concern for you the customer.... Personally, I wish they would send it to me so I can learn more about their product...
  23. Anybody up for a game tonight?...... Maybe a little Omaha 8 HI/Low instead?? fyi..i can get games started now.....just have to do it an hour and 1/2 out
  24. Your only looking at it from one angle though. I know for a fact that Kraft gathers information from most of those "shopper" cards at your grocery store. Now they will take that info and send out direct mailers in certain parts of the country. So if they see that you haven't bought Kraft chedder and send you a coupon book or a "magazine" that is mostly a coupon book.....isn't that the same as what argus is doing? It is unsolicited mail directed at a possible consumer. I used to work for a magazine that was marketed to the top 25% of all Kroger customers. We had information about the entire east coast and used that info for "direct target advertising". I guess I don't get the volume of spam on my phone as you do....... I try to keep my cell phone number pretty quite. If I didn't buy from ANY spammer I got....I couldn't survive!! I didn't want a pizza tonight, but I got an email from Papa Johns...I'm not going to fly anywhere soon, but I got an unsolicited email from Airtran....Now is it ok if they email after you have used their services? I think that is spam too...Once again, I don't like spam either..... ANY type of advertising is going to upset some customers...I just didn't see this as such a "threatening" thing. I'm not going to spend extra energy attacking a skydiving company because of it. So, thats it for me.....I'll step down and listen to the "masses" of people that these unruling people at argus have upset.... ...this is bound for a SC transfer
  25. It is a very common thing though..(target advertising) You would be very surprised how much Kraft spends finding out if you like chedder or not. Spending 5 years in the advertising business it's scary how much they know about certain States, cities, zipcodes, or even you!! I have never argued that this is something good or I like.... I just think it is a "acceptable" way to advertise in the States right now. .....I still hate spam.....
