No. I am building from Scratch. I ordered Stainless Pole and materials to build the Stage. -

I will not say mine is Better than anyone elses.. But I can tell you why I call Skydive the Farm my Home DZ now. The people and the attitude. Yes, It is the most gorgeous DZ I have ever seem. How many other DZ`s have a perfectly manicured Sod Lawn in front of the Hangar?? Yes they have great Planes.. Porter, Caravan and Grand Caravan. There are Faster and Bigger Planes nearby.. But The Farm will send the Planes almost without regard to how many are on the load and I have NEVER even heard of ANYONE getting bumped off a load to make room for tandems. The Farm is an Upjumpers DZ. Yes they have the best Jump Prices Around.. Including their Monthly $129 all you Jump Boogies. But all that pales in comparison to the People that make up the DZ. Hans is the most laid Back DZO you will ever meet. Greg is usually out there to watch over his planes and Sometimes even Cooking For everyone at no charge. The Farm isnt about how much money they can make. It is about how much Fun can everyone have. They dont Charge for Coach Jumps. No matter what you discipline is.. Someone there will be willing to Jump with you and show what they can. I am Lucky enough to have 4 DZ`s with-in an Hour and half Drive. All 4 Have a lot to offer and some Cool people to jump with (Even ASC).. But the Farm is by far my favorite. OH.. And I agree with Lisa Marie.. A Hot Tub out back would be a Nice addition. (Stage and Pole may already be under construction!!) -
Like we discussed last night Spence.. The 15x15 Size is Ideal for the Poker Tournaments because I can Rope Off the Outside of the tent. That way the players will not be crowded at the table and people can still stand on the outside and watch. A 30x30 would actually be too big for this. The Jello-J Poker Palace and Body Painting Emporium as you labeled it will be used for Packing during the day BUT ONLY for those who chipped in (That would be Myself, Hushpuppy, Lauralisious, Skinnyshrek, Gia, the Rack and whoever we talk into Packing for us) (Skinny said he was going to SIT on anyone else that tried to drop their stuff in the Tent!!.) It would be great if someone else could take up collecting for another 30 x 30 Tent which would be much better for a "Roaming DZ Regulars/Orfuns" Packing tent. Ben and Andy.. Thanks for your offer but I think I have this tent covered.. I hope you guys will consider using that Money to chip in on a Romans/Orfuns/Roaming DZ/Skydive the Farm 30x30 Packing Tent. There are going to be alot of Jumpers at this Boogie. Packing Space may be scarce in the main packing area. Someone else will need to take the lead on collecting funds for that one.

I have the DVD Box set in my Van right now. Past couple of Boogies I have been too, we have been sitting around after Jumping and watching them. Neil: I keep trying to crucify myself, But I cant figure out how to get that last nail in!!

That reminds me of my Favorite TV shows as a Kid... BJ and the Bear!! (Made me want to grow up to be an Independent Trucker!!) The Six Million Dollar Man... ( I always rooted for Sasquatch(sp?)!!) And Wide World of Sports whenever they had Evil Knevil on. (I never Missed a Jump and cried when he went into the Snake River Canyon and thought he was dead for about 10 minutes.)

Wasnt that Abe Bagota or something like that. Yea... Funny guy. I liked that show too.
-
Everytime I find a TV show that I really enjoy.. It gets cancelled. 1. Firefly (Definately all time favorite but only 1 season) 2. Key West (Breif run in the early 90`s... Didnt even make it a full season. GREAT show.) 3. SOAP - (Atleast it made it 4 seasons) 4. The Young Ones (Only one season but I dont think a second season would have been as good anyway.)

Embarrassing student "tricks"
Thanatos340 replied to labrys's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Right after AFF Graduation I was doing my 10th or 11th Jump. Still Flying a Raider 220. I still had the old NO LOW TURNS drilled into my head and completely forgot about the Fly your canopy all the way to the Ground. I turn in on final and see that I am going to land right beside the Swoop Ditch (Yes I am the last one coming in). About 15 feet off the ground the Wind shifts slightly and I realize that I am now going to Land IN the swoop pond. Straight in. Dead Center of the Pond, Stand up landing though. The entire Dropzone is out to watch. Everyone was there. Laughing hysterically at me. I am just standing there in Waist deep water looking back at everyone trying to come up with something clever to say.... And The DZO YELLS "Get the Fuck out of the Water with My RIG!!!" I was Pond Boy for quite a while after that one. -
Thanks Girl. I may just have buy you a Lap dance tomorrow Night for your generous contribution. If we get The Rack (tm)v2.0, Gia and lauraliscious all in the same Packing Tent.. You know we are going to need Security!! OK.. We have the Tent... Poker Games are set... Now all we need are Canvases to be painted (And NO Bob!! You are not getting painted!!).
-
Thanks!! So Far we have: JelloJ - $50 Anonymous - $20 HushPuppy - $30 Goal: $200 Half way there. And obviously those who pitch in on tent can use it for well... a Packing tent during the day. After Hours the tent will be used for Free Jello Shot distribution, Poker Tournaments, Latex Body Painting and various other Shenanigans.

It is generally directly proportional to the amount of Alcohol that has been consumed!

As frustrating as they can be.... They are what makes life worth living. If God created anything better.. He kept for himself.

I think I need some more practice. Any Volenteers??
-
Because it has been too long since you went out Strip Club Hoping with your friends?? I prescribe High volumes of Alcohol administered by scantily clad Lap dancers and shooter girls!! Usually works for me when I get difficult.

I predict Spences last words may be.. "Hold my Mason Jar.. Watch this." And with a Loud Scream of "Shenanigans".. he was gone.

Ummmmm!!!! Perky!!! Or one of us is doing some head down work.. either way.. I like em.
