Hi riggerrob couldnt resist could you. Fwiw I was present in the clubhouse at Ft lewis when he met his present wife, knew the man before he had 1k jumps. Attended his wedding. Etc. Also witnessed jay try to explain in a calm logical manner why it wasnt nice to kick his rig out of her way to the bitch from hell. Since you know jay so well ask him. You can also tell him R.I.P said hi. And watch his reaction. I dont have any unrealistic expectations that you'll check the info that i've supplied you. Why should you? R. R.

Hi John The female sweet young things had a bad rap because they were dieing at a higher rate than the dudes. The conclusion was Women didnt have the right stuff. Some of us knew better, to much to soon. Remember the Politically in correct T shirts. "Just because I slept with you last night doesnt mean I have to jump with you today". I you don't remember those I can understand that but there are plenty old farts that do. A classic I recall was a very low timer posted on dz.com " I got my scr"Followed by her question "What is a scr" There are some women on this websight like WMW, AJ, Old women 6 and many others that are the real deal. But since the tandems and AFF, even if a women doesn't want special treatment, shes going to get it. Unless she makes it very clear, "beat the dogs back with a stick" if they have to. And decline the special treatment because you want to do it on your own" John I gotta go stuff like this is best discussed via PM, so we dont ruffle anyones feathers. Be well, jump untill you puke. Dont worry be happy. R.

He's sleeping with the course director?? Hi John Dudes are from Venus women are from Mar's or the other way around I'm confused are you implying that some peeps get the express ride to the top of the learning curve due to their gender or who they know. ? I dont assume anything, maybe all genders are treated equally since their both paying the same amount of $$ for their training, jumps, coaches, and clases. Do you know something the wuffos don't. R.

Hi Sere Thanks for sharing the link.

Hi Mr C348 Second time I heard so much detail about the rumble seat bar. The pilot chutes and the owner wearing the frencies is priceless Owe you one for that, we want more, please stick around, Scratch lurks DZ .com, at least some times. Maybe one of the computer wizard's can hook you with a email address. R. One Jump Wonder

Hi Mr Beatnick Are you talking about the ropes and rings with the half hitch? Just like the Delta 2, in the sticks, center of the country, all we had to go by was the instruction manual. No internet, no cell phones, long distace calls were $, We didn't even have a phone on the dz. Not whining just the way it was, but we still had fun. It was a adventure. Can't wait to see the restored paraplane, Be well R. R.

Hi Mr Mitchell Thanks for the civil comback. Remember when we we discussing disposing of the half full paint cans, and you suggested donating them to a school. Have you considered donating your spare hammers and other extra hand tools to the local high school. For their shop class. Spray paint them some outstanding neon color. Might be a nice gesture from the lupus foundation, and help your fund raising efforts

I don't really care what the police think. Or your inappropriate wisecracks. I didn't go whine to a mod about your post, I handled it my self with a PM to you just like I did to David Johns., I havent opened your two PMs or David why should I ? FWIW My one and only wife and I will celebrate our 39th wedding this satuday. When your into a relationship that long and deep I know exactly who and what I'm married to.

I had those kind of parents too.

Thank you David trust me I appreciate that. The power of a PM is a amazing thing isn't it. Don't worry it was a PM, trust me it was between us and will stay that way. It could have been a lot worse Just like I responded to the Flying R, I never opened your two PMs. I've read some of your posts, about thinking before you push the send button on the net. Walk the walk if you want to. This is a public forum and we need to keep the positive vibes. With or without the mods, we're adults and need to act like appropriately. R. B-78--

Thank you David, trust me I appreciate that. The power of a PM, man to man, belly to belly is a amazing thing isn't it I haven't read your two PM's or will send a copy of my original PM to anyone else. You've written before about posting online, and thinking before you push the send button. Walk the walk if you want to. One Jump Wonder

Hi Beatnik I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your delta 2 presentation. The origional ad was priceless, we were located in kansas the last to find out. Some of the locals at the tip of the speer like Matt Farmer, and Jim Garrision, and the only golden that would jump it, experienced a unacceptable malfunction rate. In the boonies I can assure you the rush was not on. After reading the origional ad I was laughing so hard the tears blinded my vision. When people like Mr Booth: 350 lumps and zero mals, and chuteless say they had zeo mals I have no reason to doubt what they say. They are men of honor. IMO The addition of the color coded strips to the Osi went a long way to reducing the malfunction rate. Thanks beatnick your the man if you say it I believe it. Thanks for preserving the history of the sport. R

Hi Gary Reality check Some locals have to drive to Kansas to visit their son. They didn't watch their son close enough, always got him out of trouble made excuses, rolled the dice and lost. He fell In with the wrong crowd in Ks and the kid got life. In hindsight they said the first time he got in trouble with the cops they should have let him sit in jail rather than bail him out. We were all teenagers once, just because they leave the house dressed like their parents told them, no cleavage, camel toe stuff. How do you know their BFF doesn't have a spare set of cloth's waiting for her on the school bus, or around the corner. But like a lot of you have said you got to know when to choose your battles. That's why my wife and I chose not to have any children. No unrealistic expectations, no rolling the dice and hoping for the best. We have our fur babies. A lot more trust worthy. More reliable than then some snot nosed kid. Whose is a bully and their parents turn a blind eye. and respond not my baby. The tragedy in Connecticut wasn't the kids fault it was his moms fault. She rolled the dice and a lot of people paid for her poor parenting skills. Mom got off way to easy. R.

Hi Mr peek I dont have any kids but from what I've observed, the parents have given up trying to teach their kids anything. Why should the parents care? Their tired of arguing with the little shit.These days no telling who the real daddy is. The funny thing is when you see the parents picking up the bad habits of their children. R.

Hi DrDom No disrespect intended But if the airplane is packed like a sardine can so the dzo can maximize his operating efficency and profit. The dzo will continue to do it as long as jumpers are willing to accept substandard conditions. With all respect stop your whining or go to a different dz. Enjoy your next flight, and the next, and your next, and so on. Ever walk in the rain without a umbrella and whine because your getting wet? R. One Jump Wonder

Hi Got a police report from a incident that occured while trying to clean out 80 yrs of stuff. First time my wife is a women Second time my wife is a dude Third time my wife is the step daughter of the injured party. Only one of the three is correct. After going thru 80 yrs of crap. I'm determined to downsize, and have made significant progress. If we had a visiter in our house and it stayed in the same spot for three minutes. They might find themselves in good will, the trash or the wood burning stove.

kind of like a traffic study on the GWB. One Jump Wonder

Hi AJ Old is a bitch.i took a ambulance ride to the local hospital, on thursday fired my Dr the second time I saw him fri Dr dude didn't understand who was in charge. And showed up again the next sat AM. Maybe the Dr Dude was deaf as soon as he stuck his beak in my room the whole ward could here me tell the Dr Dude I fired him yesterday. And to get the hell out of my room. There was a bright spot during my stay had 4 excellent meals, would call the kitchen after every meal and compliment them for excellent food, and service.

Hi andy I dont want to confuse your opinion with the facts but theres already a mod on board by the name of Quade, think green look above your post. Please don't bother responding to my post because I'm to busy to read what your response is, meeting's and stuff. Have a nice day. R.

I have a coalition of Mcnastys the alpha bully spread rumors and gossip. Nothing I can do about it except after 15 yrs we have the dumb one trained to use email mail The trouble maker never puts anything in writing lets lettuce head do it and quote Mr Trouble. The next time the shit hits the fan, guess who's going to get blamed the dumb one. Mr Trouble has plausible deniability. Almost worth getting a cell phone with a camera. But I'm still holding out. I Know when Mr trouble trys to talk to me he doesn't have anything good to say so I just don't stop. or roll down my window. Working for the feds with the same a holes every day until they die, helps develop a thick skin. R.

That's because you have unrealistic expectations Around the same time we got a letter from city bank explaining why they couldn't issue the credit card I requested because they needed a physical address besides my PO box. I never applied for that card, all my mail goes to my PO box. I notified them immediately and all the credit reporting agencies. When I open any new accounts we have to give them a physical address but caution them not to send mail to that address because stealing mail here is a cottage industry. No unrealistic expectations here. Credit card was delivered to our physical address. We didn't activate our card, called the CC company they made a minor error and wouldn't activate the card until the error. Of course the nice person said it was done, and I could use the card immediately and when I got my first statement at the PO box. I told them I wouldn't activate the card until I received confirmation in the mail at my PO box first. We don't shred our mail we burn it. Once you put your trash at the curb anyone can take it just like the cops. We dispose of 20lbs of dog poop in our trash with our food scraps. Keep you head on a swivel folks, I found out about the trash can situation by reading the weekly paper. Dude takes his trash to the curb, before he gets into the door a car pulls up pops the trunk empty's the can and drives off. The dude calls the sheriff with the license number, sheriff response "to bad so sad" once it hits the curb anyone can pick it up. Our trash can was stolen once we found it a mile down the road but no dog poop, just food scraps all over the road. I think when they hit the dog shit they gave up. R.

Sort of. They determined the fire started between the kitchen and eating area, but when the inspectors cant find the usual causes they default to a electrical problem either behind the sheet rock or under the floor joists. For further info google Fox island fire. I'm having a challenging situation since my two mcnasty neighbors have no problem parking the their overflow guest cars one our one lane road which cuts off our access to the ambulance service. Met with the fire chief with my emails from one Mcnasty showing he has done this four times in the past. Urged the fire chief to be pro active rather than reactive. He declined. Call us the next time it happens and we'll show up. Both my wife and I have had ambulance rides in the past, cardiac problems, OLD etc. The chief wasn't taking any notes, declined to send me a CC if they do anything to the make the route more accessible. When my wife had the cardiac event the fire truck had to stay at the bottom of the hill and everyone had to pile into the ambulance. Will document our meeting with the fire chief, info supplied emails from Mcnasty , Platt map, and what I recall he said send it registered mail return receipt requested. And give him a opportunity to correct any errors. When we tried to call the chief his gate keeper gave us the standard answer sorry he's in a meeting. Told her we would be there in 15 minutes and expect the chief to be there. He met us at the door with one of his captains. We all know what happened at the GW bridge. The governor had no knowledge. His staff let him down. This is how its done folks, The fire chief thinks he can BS a retiree federal employee. We were exposed to BS for 25 years and have developed a 6th sense. Next stop the Board of commissioners, in a public meeting after we do or don't get a response to our letter to the fire chief. R
