  1. I was honored to meet Casey in San Marcos a couple of months ago, what an awesome person! I was also able to do a couple of jumps with his Dad Mike, another amazing person. Mike told me "Watch who Casey is talking to, it's always a beautiful woman" It was cool, he would be talking to one girl then when you turned around he had moved to another sweetie! Very seldom saw him talking to a guy or less that beautiful woman. PS: Don't let him have the car keys!
  2. I kept records of how much I spent on AFF. My total was $1,896.00, this includes ground school and having to repeat level 14 twice. I have about $4,700 in gear including container, main, reserve, cypress, jump suit (bad ass christmas present) helmet (bad ass b-day present) and neptune (bad ass prize at my 1st haloween party) Not bad considering it's spread out over almost 2 years.
  3. OK i knew I would get slammed but also get some good advice. Maybe I did pull the hackey causing the PC to uncock, maybe the slider did slide down during the unpack, maybe I did forget to stow the other brake. Thanks for giving me advice I never thought about! Maybe saved a nose! Now how about forwarding some of those pics skydemon!
  4. I know I'm going to get a lot of comments about how I should learn to pack and I know that and I'm learning. I have a demo 190 Saber 2 from PD, last weekend I had one of the regular packers pack it for me the 1st time and it opened and flew great, I think I might have to get one of these! After that jump, there was still only 1 packer at the DZ and she said she was too busy with the staff to pack for me, no problem so I asked one of the experienced guys to help me at least get it in the bag which he did no problem. I stowed the lines and put it in the container, when I opened I had line twist, kicked out and all was good, I know it was probably my fault. Here's where the problem starts. The guy that had helped before was now packing for a few other people and said he didn't mind packing for me, so I set the breaks and cocked the pilot chute and said thanks. I signed up for the last load, as luck would have it never happened because there wasn't enough jumpers. I paid said packer $15 for 1 and 1/2 pack jobs and had a few beers. (yes they were from the case I bought) PD has a really cool packing video online so I downloaded it and decided to practice packing here at home tonight. Moved the furniture around and opened the pack job. Hmmmmm slider is about 4" from the stops, that probably would have hurt. Looked some more and one of the breaks wasn't set. Hmmmmm again....looked some more and the pilot chute wasn't cocked!!! Now I'm pissed!!! I get along very well with this guy but now I just want to break his fuckin nose!!!!
  5. OK Billy, you owe me a new keyboard, I just spit a mouthful of beer on it!
  6. Is this helmet a 2K Kryton? I won it at safety day and want to post it in the classifieds. What is the retail value of it? Thanks!
  7. Went camping with a buddy and his parents. The camper and tent were both full so I decided to sleep in the truck. I woke up the next morning, sat up and realized I was in someone elses truck across and down the street! How I got there I'll never know. Same buddy a little later. We decided to go floundering around Galveston. Parked the truck in a field and headed to the water. When we finally found the water it was so murky you couldn't see your feet at ankle deep. So we decided to head back to the truck. Did I mention that there was no moon that night and it was DARK? Ok, where's the truck? Finally found it a few hours later. Buddies were going to sleep in the back and I took the cab (now that I think about it, it was the same truck too) Woke up with fire ants biting the shit out of me. Don't know how I got out of the truck and on to the ground but my "buddy" was sound asleep in the cab.
  8. Thanks for all of the feedback! Some sources that I didn't know of. Here's to nylon in my container! (Instead of pillows)
  9. I have posted a couple of "wanted ads" in the classified but haven't had any luck. I won't say what I'm looking for because I understand that is against the forum rules here. I have also contacted a couple of different companies-individuals that I have heard sell used gear but still no luck. Anyone know of a good place to look, other than e-bay.
  10. I was going to open a whorehouse until I got the bad news................I would have to run it by hand until I could afford to hire some whores!
  11. Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. "Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

    ABSINTHE

    Worst hangover I ever had...while in Okinawa four of us went to a bar and drank 2 gallons of "mojo" Absinthe mixed with some kind of punch. That was on friday night...I don't remember anything until monday morning when they announced pay call, I couldn't even get out of bed for that!!! To this day just the smell of black liquorish makes my stomach turn and my head hurt, and that was 25 years ago!!
  13. A pearl necklace for Valentines, o hell yeah!!!
  14. 0:2:0 Got 2 in on my birthday but it was too cold for any more. Stayed in the new camper friday and saturday night!!
  15. We saw a guy dressed in a Supreman costume the other day, it wasn't a very pretty site! Of course my fiance just had to roll down her window and say "I hope they're paying you well!"
  16. Went to the RV show in San Antonio last weekend to "just look around". We ended up buying a 22' Jayco. We pick it up in 2 hours and then off to Guadalupe River State Park to break it in properly!!!!

  20. They disconnect your drop from the tap either at the pole or at the pedestal. Then they screw a locking terminator on the port of the tap that requires a special tool to get off. Sometimes with a big pair of channel locks you can squeeze them hard enough to get them off. You have to remeber that cable companies have seen all of the tricks and are getting smart to stop people from re connecting their cable.
