  1. I guess, what got my last nerve is trying to pack and have some dog run his cold nose up my shorts leg in the summertime. You wish John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  2. QuoteIt's a Racer...it would have stunk even if that hadn't happened, and the owner's lucky the dog didn't do worse to it. *** I agree 100%. I'll take it a step further. If an owner refuses to control thier dog, make them jump a Racer for the rest of the weekend. If his dog does it again, put a Firebolt in it! John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  3. QuoteThe LZ wouldn't be considered tight by demo standards, the canopy control is a bit iffy considering the wind-sock and the ground smoke, but the site and the conditions aren't bad. ***Looks like a first jump course gone bad John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  4. Quote..i already did my grocery-shopping, i just blew off a date for tonight, i'm on the way to become ridicilously drunk, and i'm thinking of hitting town after another one or two drinks, put that cd-voucher i got for christmas to good use and maybe buy a dvd or two for tonight. and maybe another bottle of booze, too! any suggestions? *** I think you're setting your sights too high.

  5. QuoteCaveat.... I am a blessed to live in warm Texas. However, I have found that even when the air temp at ground level is freezing (~30 degrees F), I am comfortable at altitude. I dress in layers and wear vinyl or nitrile gloves inside my usual golves to block the wind. I wear a neck gaiter. I wear a full face helmet. I find that the key is to keep the wind off my skin. As long as I do that I am fine. I am sure that someone from a place with REAL cold will provide you with more authoritative opinion. The only moment that I find uncomfortable when jumping in these circumstances is being the front float "Would you PLEASE hurry up and get ready!!!" Try searching the fourm for this topic. (Vinyl or nitrile gloves can be found at most hardware or paint stores.) *** I personally am not comfortable with an AFF student wearing gloves of any kind. If it's so cold that you have to wear gloves or layer up to make the jump bearable, you're better off waiting till it warms up a scosh. You've got enough to think about without all the restricted movement and loss of tactile feel in your fingers issues that goes along with gloves/heavy clothing.

  7. QuoteSkydive East Tennessee is operating out of the Greeneville (TN) airport temporarily this winter (until the new DZ officially opens in March), weather permitting. So Outlaw field is definitely not the only place to jump in TN this winter. *** Is Kip involved in Skydive East TN? I like that guy. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  8. Moderator??? Moderator??? John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  9. ............... Quote So how 'bout them Canucks!? ............... This conversation is so far above my head it makes me dizzy *** I think they made most of it up. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  10. It doesn't sound that far fetched to me, I used to shoot wamp rats in my T-16 back home. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  11. Quotebtw, all you guitar players... it takes about a month for the calluses to build up, right? *** It's alot like masturbating in that regard John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  12. Quote: Hey, don't sell yourself short... This guy was 'just a cook' in the Navy...look how badass he turned out to be... ***Most people don't know this, but after floridadiver81 became a priest, but before he was recruited by the Clay County Police dept, he ran a bad ass Kung Fu school that Steven Segal and Chuck Norris attended. He sold the school when he found out they knocked over his roommates motorcycle. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  13. QuoteMaybe a better attitude. I think Bill was trying to help you. ***He does seem to be an angry little person. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  14. QuoteHe knows how to make donuts. ***Yeah, but only in batches of 10,000, and they're just deep fried dough with raisens. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  15. QuoteWhat happened to the posh job with the gf's dad? *** He had to swear off women when he decided to become a priest. Did you miss that post? John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  16. Why would they want a cook in the Clay County Police Force? They only have one party a year, and it's catered. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  17. QuoteSo, when is one 'officially' a skydiver? *** You have to sleep with at least one of the moderators John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  18. Beware: melted ends can have sharp edges on them *** Also, if you pull the lace through the closing loop too fast, and you're near any dry leaves, you could start a fire. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  19. I'm not sure that I'm qualified to comment on this because I've been exceptionally attractive for as long as I can remember, but I've noticed that other people appear more or less attractive in relation to the uglyness factor of the folks they're hanging around with at the time. What I'm saying is, if you hang out with ugly folks you'll appear more attractive. A good example of this is our DZO at Palatka, now normally you might think he's an attractive guy, but when he stands next to Ally.... John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  20. QuoteLike Flip Wilson always said... "Every man ought to marry an ugly woman. Nobody gonna mess with her and all you have to do is have a few beers and she starts looking good!" *** Redd Fox once said he used to have a butt ugly girl friend, but boy could she sing. He'd wake up next her in the morning a say " wake up damnit, sing something". John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  21. I'm not sure if my wife loves me more because I'm tremendously wealthy, successful, and popular, or because I'm an unusually gifted and giving lover. Either way, I don't think she would have married me if I was a packer. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  22. Just look for the "winky" or "smiley" empticons. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  23. Quoteno shit ..8,000 dooollars..LOL kinda like putting 8k worth of chrome rims and Z-rated tires on a hyundai.(or an eclipse) and a big gigantic ass 6ft fin on the trunk to boot...LMFAO!! ***Hey!!! I drive a Hyundai Santa Fe with with a big gigantic ass fin on the back, with purple neon Randy lights, spinners and a flame job. Jay Leno wanted to buy it it for his collection, but I said "no way man", it's a classic. You sayin that aint cool? I've got to keep the doors locked to keep random chicks from jumping in at red lights. You only wish you were me! John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  24. I assume that your wife is a Skydiver. My wife insisted that I hang out with her on our honeymoon. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
  25. 1st, there is no such thing as a Sabre 1. There is the Sabre, and the Sabre 2. As for hard openings, yes, a Sabre can slam you if you're not careful, but if you pay attention and don't let your pack jobs get away from you, you should be alright. I put about 1000 jumps on a Sabre 135 and only had a few hard openings. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver
