  1. what's this say, "made by the acme 3-ring company?", good luck with your deployment Wile E.! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  2. if we weren't supposed to stare at them, they would be on a woman's back. come to think of it, that would be great, you'd never know we were staring, and slow dancing would be much more fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  3. conspiracy theory? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  4. that's cool! i'd never heard it, but after i read that i did a quick google search to find the origin, and came across this: The Pilot's Desiderata Discover your far horizons; but embrace the sky softly, quietly, so that others of your kind may follow. Know your limitations from moment to moment and be humble when the elements are against you. Accept advice from those before you, seeking out their truths. Use your temper as a catalyst to keep you advancing; guarding it with vigilance though, lest you be obliged to bite your tongue. Leave your mistakes behind you, noting their lessons as part of your tuition for learning. If you quit - and will want to - beginning again will be lonely. You cannot know the colour of truth unless you wear its cloth; therefore let honesty itch your mind, gleaming conspicuous in the eyes. If you become hostage to the fear of the unknown, challenge it with tenacity; keeping in mind, however, that only a fool is fearless. Remember how lucky you are to see and touch the sky; the blind may only dream. Be the opportunist; the forever hesitant are losers. In each of us there is a conflict - daydreaming versus reality. May dreaming prod your curiosity, but reality wield the sword. Expect the unexpected. It will develop an awareness for Murphy's Law; if something can go wrong - - it will. Your time on this earth is a perpetual flight plan cancelled with your passing; you are wise then, to spend each day as though it were your last among those of the living. You are entitled to complain; use maturity if you do. With your wings you will receive wisdom, courage and joy, but moreover you will have joined the college of a thousand friendships; never forget them. Fly at the wind from every quarter; climb high, hesitate and tumble. Yet above all, know when it is time to fold your fragile wings. Remember you are not God-like, but a mere mortal, vulnerable - a pilot, and that is world enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.

    WFFC Bands

    george thorogood! i know he's a little old school for a lot of tastes, but damn can't he get a crowd going! his motto has always been "no hall too small, no bar too far." sounds like a skydiver credo to me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  6. you sound jealous! no sheep for you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  7. i think there was an article in skydiving magazine about them. apparently they had been taking the baby up in the plane to see how she handled the experience, then they constructed a tiny tandem harness and took her out. there was actually a picture of them in freefall, dad as the tandem master and mom shooting video. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  8. thanks all! i'll check some of these out tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  9. anybody know a good (preferably canadian, gotta help out the homeboys!) web host provider? i'm looking at setting up a site for my dz. we're small, so the web site will be too. i'm mostly looking for someone with a good rep and reasonable prices. so far i'm looking at http://www.stormweb.ca and http://www.ipowerweb.com. any word on these guys? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  10. there was a 'king of the hill' episode about hank going swimming in a dolphin pool and one of them tried to mount him... too funny to see it in real life! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  11. i have noticed a speed increase this morning, and the language thing, and it won't let me vote in a poll, says a vote has already been received from my ip. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  12. i ran into the same problem many years ago, so nothing's changed. i was unemployed, drawing unemployment insurance and working part time on a gas truck. i wanted to drive it, and the owner (my father) guaranteed me a job if i took a driver training course. i went to my local hrdc office, told them the story and was told they could get me into a course, in about 10 months! i was also told by the frustrated counsellor, that i could get in the next course (about 2 weeks) if i was black, a woman or handicapped. i have absolutely nothing against any of those groups, but i had a guaranteed job while most people on the course were told they had to take some training or lose their ui. p'd me off. anywho, the laugh is on hrdc now, i work for them! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  13. my bad... ya take a week off and ya get behind! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.

  16. never heard of them before i showed up at my first jump course. i knew you had a reserve chute, but never considered what would happen if you forgot to/couldn't pull your ripcord. yes, i thought they all had ripcords. was sort of disappointed when i found out we had boc's. thought the cypres was a cool idea though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.

    Nuclear war

    not far fetched at all, read this. conventional explosives, and it nearly wiped out a city. imagine a nuke. go down to your nearest port and watch the container ships coming in and figure out for yourself how difficult it would be to send one in that way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  18. 5? holy crap, most people here are worried about losing or damaging a $1500 canopy! F16's go for more that that don't they? and even if you could find it, it's probably kinda wrinkled up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  19. what would you be doing at home on the weekend? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  20. so, it's like a gas/electric snowmobile with wheels?

  22. read this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  23. Scientists have just revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To test their theory, scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively and loudly without making sense, became emotional, and couldn't drive. No further testing was found to be necessary. [runs and hides] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
  24. isn't Pacific Aerospace the outfit that is building the PAC 750XL, the new skydiving-specific plane? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bunky get crazy, before it gets you.
