Doesn't everyone carry their out-landing kit? Mine is in my jumpsuit pocket and contains a closing loop, rubber bands, pull-up cord, $5 bill and 2 quarters. Who knows when you might have to pack after landing off the dz, pay for a ride or need a drink, make a call? If I do a cross country, I also include my cell phone. Blue skies, Jim

Seems like many are posting more recent pics. I like the old me better! Blue skies, Jim

Summer before last I had a similar problem with numbness from below the knee to top of my foot. My skydiving MD sent me to Dr Doctor (no kidding that is his last name) who gave me something similar to an epidural. It was in injection of pain med directly on the nerve at the herniation, and then bathing the nerve with some type of steroid. Pain went away instantly and never came back. The theory is that the nerve is constantly inflamed because back movement and the herniation, but once the pain is gone the back and nerve can relax and shrink back to normal size. One month later the PT started and lasted 4 months. My back never felt better. If I would stretch and exercise regularly I could probably get rid of the dull pain I get sometimes when I am tired or do to many jumps on a weekend. Blue skies, Jim

Hey I know who Max is and I'm a belly flyer! Actually, Max offered to do a hybrid with me and another jumper from Spaceland when we visited the Ranch with less than 100 jumps. Everything went off as planned, got free video and free flying from Trent, the Punisher and others I can't remember. One of my favorite jumps. Thanks Max! Blue skies, Jim

Happy birthday Gary. See you in August! Blue skies, Jim

Ummhhh...if I were you I would hide from Aggie Dave if he sees that comment. He's maroon through and through! Blue skies, Jim

Trent called from NY and said "I just did a tandem and it was the greatest thing! You've got to try this." "No", I said "I'm to old." "To late I already bought you a tandem at Skydive USA for next weekend when I'm back in Houston." "I'm not sure I want to do it." "But you said you always wanted to!" "When?" "When you joined the army as infantry airborne." "It was 1967 and I was 19 and stupid then!" "Well, you have to do it. I charged it on my credit card already and there are no refunds." "Ok" Blue skies, Jim

Yep, real name's Frosty dude!!! Blue skies, Jim

Sometimes you get a white Christmas...first time in 109 years in Victoria, TX. 12 inches of fluffy white stuff. Wishing everyone a great New Year! Blue skies, Jim

As long as he is in trouble and not the rest of us... HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOY JOY KATE!!!!

Nope. Not there this week or next. Blue skies, Jim

And they were some great times to Mac!!! I have a lot of friends who are extremely liberal. We don't agree on most political issues, but there are many things we do agree upon. Friendship is more important than politics anyday! I enjoy jumping with them and hope they always enjoy jumping with me. Blue skies, Jim

I was having problems once because of my weight belt. I asked for a supervisor who said I couldn't carry it on. So I asked for her supervisor, who walked over picked up the weight belt and said, "It's just a weight belt, he can carry it on." Sometimes you just have to get to the right person. Blue skies, Jim

Guess you've still got a lot more to learn. Blue skies, Jim

And the organization revoke the "ladies" tickets because they found the t-shirts objectional at their private event. But they did and they were asked to leave. They are very naive or they are lying. Either way they were out! But they didn't ask ahead of time either. They were out. Again you did not address my point professor. Private event, private property... Blue skies, Jim

Are you implying that Clinton, Carter, Johnson and Kennedy never used Air Force One on campaign trips? Wow! And all this time I throught we were just being screwed by all of them! Blue skies, Jim
