0% Financing is Hard to beat. That will save you over $5,000 over the loan if you do a typical 10% down and 60 Month Finance. It also greatly reduces the chance that you will be upside down on the loan. If the dealer will make the Price right (Check Edmunds.com) I think you would be crazy to wait.

Keep Baseball Bats in the landing area. Use when needed.

We tell Students not to Land on the Runway or Cross it under 1000 feet... Just tell them the Swoop Area is Just like the Run way. Dont do it. It IS Dangerous for them to land there for them and for others. They should be told. You are correct that on a single Plane DZ.. Everyone should be Down before the Students (except for maybe the Tandems) anyway. But it could definitely be an issue at a Multi-plane DZ. And NO Rule will ever take the place of Common Sense and keeping your head on a swivel.

I didnt eat the Cheesecake at the factory either. Just spent all day working on broken Machines up to my elbows in Various Batters while trying to figure out what was wrong. (Sound familiar?)

In YOUR Case I can definately understand this because of your Job.. I know when I used to work at Dessert Factory, the last thing I wanted to Taste when I got Home was Cheesecake.

I think whatever "Penalty" there is for breaking the Rules should apply equally. If Someone is going to Be grounded for Swooping the Main Landing Area.. The Exact same penalty should apply to someone Floating into the HP Landing area. ROW Rules still apply, Every hopefully walks away and the DZ`s become a safer place for everyone. The only problem with this would be when it is an AFF Student that ends up in the wrong place. DZO are not likely to Ground Cash Cows. But at a Minimum the Student should be told in no uncertain terms how much they just endangered themselves and the Swoopers in the Air. Any Licensed Jumper that makes that mistake should be grounded.

I am really having trouble picturing this.. Perhaps you could post or PM a picture so I can understand what you mean. I will show you mine if you show me yours.

Only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

All Of mine were somewhat "impulse" tattoos. The First one was definitely an Impulse. The next Couple were I was bored and somehow ended up at the Tattoo Place. (But The ideas were already bouncing around my head.. Just not really drawn out). The last ones (the 3 Rings on my Chest) was pretty much a total Impulse.. Happened to be in Little 5 killing time.. Dropped by the Tat Shop and they were slow.. a Couple hours later I left with the 3 rings.

Uhh.. 4 would be gathering.. 5 or more makes it a party.

Just Two?? Not much of a Party if you ask Me.

they are just alike. They have an agenda and will twist facts to back that agenda. Neither of them has any qualms about knowingly twisting facts to support their opinions. Sorry Girl.. Don’t buy it He makes since to you because you are a Liberal and therefore predisposed to believe what he is saying. Same with Limbaugh and conservatives. MM Lies just as much as Limbaugh. They are entertainers, nothing more. And both are laughing all the way to the Bank.

And unless we separate incompatible landing patterns, It is just a matter of time before this happens again and again. Education is great.. But you can have all the "Education" in the world and some people will still not learn. And even if they do learn.. Humans will always make mistakes. All we can do try to minimize the dangers of those inevitable mistakes. By separating the Landing Areas (Time or Distance) we can make things safer for EVERYONE. Swoopers will not have out Slow ass Boats in their way and we will not have pocket Rockets zipping past us from our blind spots. Keep in mind that the ones you are talking about educating are some of the most experienced and most talented Jumpers in the sport. Do you really think these guys are going to listen? They already know it all, Just ask them. What piece of Education could you have given Bob Hollar that he could have used to save his life?? This entire argument comes across as just a bunch of Arrogant skygods that think “We don’t need no stinkin rules”. Comments like “You pay your $20, you take your chances” make me sick. If I am on a Load and some yahoo swooper collapses my canopy while I am on Final (again!!), That is just a risk I should accept?? BULLSHIT. You want to swoop?? Great, Go for it. Just don’t put me in danger when you do it. The amazing thing is some of the Jumpers that opposed this are also some of the Jumpers that I respect more than anyone else in this sport.. I just cannot for the life of me see thier logic. "We cant do everything, so we shouldnt do anything??" "This will only solve some of the Problem and not all the problem.. so forget it??" "Education will solve this problem" The problem is a FAST moving object and a SLOW moving object trying to occupy the point in Time and Space. No amount of education in the world will make that outcome any different. But Separating those objects in Time And/Or Space will make a difference. There ARE other issues that need improvement as well such as idiots Spiraling over the landing area and doing S Turns on Final. We must work on those as well but that doesn’t mean that we should do that Instead of separating landing area. We should do that as well as Separating landing areas. Keep Accuracy Canopies and other slower Canopies in the main landing area. Anyone Landing in the HP landing area that doesnt belong there should face the same consequence as a Swooper that just used the Big way landing as Gates and Pylons. One is Just as Wrong as the other.

I got my First Tat over 20 years ago. 2nd and 3rd 15 years ago. 4th and 5th just last year. Not one regret over any of them.

The proper terminology is "Cream Pie". And My answer is YES.. But mainly because there should always be a Condom involved anyway so there is no Cream Pie to worry about.

MM is the Liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. Both twist "Fact & Data" support their argument without regard to Truth. Both are entertainers not meant to be taken seriously. Both are extremist just trying to make a Buck off pushing their Distortions.

This reminds me of a Story:

+1 here!! I am not a fan of Apple. They are Master of Style and Hype over Substance. I still think the iPod sucks (Over priced, Limited Functionality, Disposable) and have no reason to think that the iPhone would be any better. But the sheep will line up to say how great it is because they bought one and it does everything Apple told them they wanted to do. And on Cingular EDGE As well.. That is strike 2, 3 , 4 and 5 right there.

I believe that Mike Mullins Place is nearby. West Tennessee Skydiving. No Tunnels that I know of.

Best Party Atmosphere - Skydive Atlanta Halloween Boogie. Best Skydiving Atmosphere - Skyfest. Lots of aircraft, Great organizers. Great event especially for low time jumpers. Best Deal: Skydive the Farms Monthly $139 all you Jump weekends. Best Combination of Everything (Jumps, Party, Planes, People) - Dublin.

Becoming one with the Land is something that any Right minded Skydiver should try to avoid at all costs.

Hey Lee, I need something. Call me.

I thought Brandy WAS the Wife??

At the same time!! And if you are sleeping with them, Why would they need to call or Text?? Why not just roll over and say whatever they have on thier mind?
