  1. I'm not worried about me - dual citizenship for me. I just wanna make sure I wont be coming back solo. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  2. they're not invalid. I'm thinking they're fine too. Actually, this the 1st i've heard of these "computerized passport" mumbo-jumbo... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  3. This is NOT speakers corner material; I just have a question. I have some friends visiting from out of town - they originally had a trip booked to Niagara Falls, but because their travel agent screwed them over they asked me to take them (they're paying my way + gas, so of course I said yes. ) We plan on leaving Friday. Anyway, they have a legal tourist Visa for the U.S. & Poles, do not need a separate visa for Canada. Therefore, by all accounts, they should be able to cross the border & back with just a passport. However, there's some confusion in regards to the type of passport - some new ones are apparently coming out in the near future that are more computerized, making them more easily scan-able. The question is (& does anybody know) if you can use the present PP's to cross the border?... Whatever these new 1's are, they're not to be used till January, of 09. But I'm not sure Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

  5. Ya know......for someone who has had so much happen to them in 1 week you sure use a lot of smiley's... I'm glad Sprouty is o.k.!!.....Jeez As for the plane crash, all I can say is I'm sorry. As for my fitness quest......it's 3:00 in the freaking morning & I just got home from the gym (bad, BAD Ralf! ) On a side note: I feel considerably apprehensive coming home at this time - after the 2 break-ins into my car into my car recently you just don't know who is out there. I feel like I could be jumped any minute, This is a good neighborhood mind you (at least it used to be ) - ask Joe. Anywhoo, back on topic... I haven't been keeping track of progress per say; I just know that I'm doing he right things to get where I need to go - the tunnel will tell soon enough where I stand & we'll see what I need to do next, if anything at that time. Hopefully though, I'll get the all clear to begin my student progression come August. The 1 thing I do have to become more disciplined at is stretching; that, as I've said before is just as mportant - if not more important than what I'm doing in the gym.

  8. Anybody have experience with them? I just checked fairs on my 10 day stay in Denver, Co, coming up in August & all I can say is WOW!... I always thought those William Shatner commercials were retarded & BS...but... (I'm still kinda skeptical) but that's exactly why I'm asking & posting this. Anywhoo - for 10 days; flight + hotel + car = $474-$600 (and higher on from there.) Possible?... Any thoughts? Thanks! Edited: Because I thinker quicker than I type.

  10. The only affect it had was that there wasv no way I was working out last night. I still feel pain, but it's only bad if I touch the area. I'm scheduling x-rays today just to make sure all is well. As for the 2 workouts in 1 day - I've never done that before, but i was too tired this morning to finish up; + my trainer has me scheduled for today, and I've already been enough of a pain in the ass as far as rescheduling, so don't want to do it again.

  11. Been up since 3, at the gym by 6 - worked out for a little over 2 hours. Did mostly abs; going back this afternoon to work on legs & arms with the trainer. Noticing more & more tone; my 6-pack is coming back after my few weeks off. As far as improvements?...I don't note anything really besides for the improvements in my arch. mmmm........why can't Chicago have a tunnel?? That's alright though - I can't wait for Colorado in August!
  12. I haven't laughed so hard in a while! -thanks. Um, where do I get said t-shirt?... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

  14. I can't sleep either........stupid tenant & his addiction to video games (he gets violent when he plays them.) I swear, I'm gonna throw the kid out of a window 1 of these days. Lawrocket; Jewels - what kind of law do you guys practice again?... On the upside - I "feel" well enough to go to the gym this morning; am on my way now. Still need to get x-rays though.

  15. NAA....! "Old Guys" are use to the pain....& NEVER complain ! The 2 of ya can um, lets see...hmmm......BITE me, yes, bite me feels about right. He sounds more like an OLE WOMAN! o.K. - SERIOUSLY, I'm not 1 to complain; I have fallen a lot over the years, & was a natural at PLF long before I got into skydiving. That's really how I've taught myself to fall in order to protect myself...now I just have a name for it & will be using it more in the near future. That said - this hurt pretty bad (I usually stay quiet while in pain instead of yelling obscenities.) Will get some x-rays in the next day or 2. It's just about 3 am. now I just woke up & it hurts a lot, lot less. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  16. Well, so much for working out tonight... I damn near broke my back & my pelvis, all in 1 shot just now. Lost my balance opening the garage door ( was fiddling for the key) & lost my balance - fell backwards, straight on a huge decorative rock that lays right there. Luckily, I missed my spine by a couple inches; just got a small part of my back, & hit my pelvis hard. Hope I can go to the gym tomorrow - I'd hate to be out for days; I don't have that kinda' time. Edited to add: Someone please PM some boobies....I need something to dull the pain.

  18. And just wanted to share: it's very peaceful, calming soothing - whatever you prefer. I've been listening to it all day (the time I've been home anyway.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=MSVSLvnmH2k&feature=related If anybody knows similar type music please point me in that direction.

  19. I don't know that I have any business posting in this thread, as I'm not currently actively jumping & thus am not even a skydiver [if I was I'd post in the "Name that Ass" thread]....yet. Almost all of you know the story - 2 tandem wonder with a dream... That said - skydiving has changed me, DRASTICALLY! #1 For the 1st time in my life I have a passion, & goals to go along with it; I know I want to pursue this sport for the rest of my life. All it's gonna take is some tunnel time and a lot a little money. I simply love the feeling of flight, & piloting a canopy, well...
