    Otter Paint?

    Have to agree re: probably dirt. I got an Otter bite on my left shin two weekends in a row. Leg is sore from the impact, but no redness or swelling like yours. Hope you feel better soon! Blue skies, Jim
  3. Is this like a birthright? They get a share simply because they are there regardless of their contribution to society? I have an idea, I'll quit work today and you send me half your paycheck! I'll stay at the dz and jump with your money. Sound good? Let me know and I will send you my mailing address. "...to each according to their need...." I need it worse than you, so start licking the stamps. Blue skies, Jim
  4. I'm a little confused here. Are you saying there were a lot more than 750 rioters or more than 750 police? At what ratio of cops/rioters does the situation become uncontrollable? Or does the throwing of rocks and bottles have anything to do with it? Jim Blue skies, Jim
  5. 998:9:1 New total jumps 998. Thought I would get my 1,000th this weekend, but SL went on weather hold Sat afternoon and all day Sun. Oh well, now I'll get to jump big one with son, brother in-law, sister in-law, and guys who were at Eloy the past week.
  6. There is a great crowd out for a Friday afternoon...what are you still doing at work? The PD people are here and jumping; relative workshop is here with stuff. Gona' be a great weekend. I'm at jump 991 so it's getting closer to PIE time too! Get out here and play with us. Blue skies, Jim
  7. Hope you all get to come out to Spaceland today for the Fly Free Festival. There's already a good crowd here for a Friday afternoon and the sky is blue with broken clouds. The PD folks are great and if you want to jump a reserve to see what they fly like, they've got them ready for you. Relative Workshop is also here with a bunch of containers and stuff. HURRY UP and get out here. You look like you're not feeling well so get your A$% in the bosses office and tell him you're going "home", See you all soon. Blue skies, Jim
  8. Dave, add my name to the "be there" list again this year. Does anyone know who the RW organizer(s) will be? Have you asked Trent, Jed or Stevie to FF organize yet? Jim Blue skies, Jim
  9. I don't know if HE qualifies as a "real" skydiver! Blue skies, Jim

  12. Now now Dave, no need to inflame the teasips! Could create another round of emotional threads that gets people kicked off by HH. Blue skies, Jim
  13. We get a lot of complaints about short battery life too. Remember everyone, take the old batteries out and wait at least 2 minutes before inserting the new. Only thing you lose is the date and time which is easily reset. Blues, Blue skies, Jim
  14. So what? He was in her house illegally and deservers whatever she wanted to dish out. What's she supposed to do ask him if he wants tea and scones? Yeah, that's it. That's why he was in the kitchen...simplying being a gentleman and making her tea! Blue skies, Jim
  15. Received an identical email from them today! They must have been responding to a lot of mail!!! Blue skies, Jim
  16. Hummmm, guess my bonus days started in 1968, Dien Khanh, Vietnam. Hell of a run!
  17. Damn Dave! Glad you're ok. How would I collect on my 2 jumps if you were not around? Stay safe & have fun, Blue skies, Jim
  18. I think it is very important to note that Bill's numbers indicate that 399,740 blood units were used by someone. Now that is an impressive number. Guess I'm a glass half-full guy! Blue skies, Jim
  19. Sorry for you. I like to think that we'll get to see our trusting friends again. Always happy to see us, didn't care how dirty we were, never asked for anything except a pat and a scratch, and a little food and water. Blues, Blue skies, Jim
  20. I thought sales of food, medicine and other humanitarian aid including the contianers the food, medicine and other aid comes in was legal! Is the point you are trying to make that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and lied about it, or that we are the big bad boogie man for selling anything to them? Blue skies, Jim
  21. Uh, if it is such a good overview Bill, how come you're not convinced? Blue skies, Jim
  22. You got it. Krista in manifest has your name and D #, so even if I am not there you get the jumps! Blue skies. Blue skies, Jim
  23. Jim, sorry about your troubles up there in the far North! After you get everything patched up and need to take a break, come on down to Spaceland for the day. Make 3 jumps on my ticket. Ask for me or Krista. Jim Blue skies, Jim
