HI Fort "Lost in the Woods" to tell you this but for the people that are doing basic training in that nice facility there is no such thing as a little time. The best authority to ask about the DZ, s in that area is the conference director. Mr Gary Peak. He coauthored the front page story with Mr Mullins. Mr Peak even answers the phone. Lost in the woods experiences extreme temps in the winter and summer.Since you got the baby with you get a good inbrief about all the ticks, chigers, and other creapy crawlers unique to the area. Don't sweat the cessna dz stigmas, it's just some turbine baby's that don't have a clue about the special bonding you can develope at the right cessna dz. R.I.P. One Jump Wonder

Moose shit You guys are to easy and Twardo is to foxy for you guys and gals. Can we get back to the subject of the time honored tradition of buying case of beer for ea first in skydiving. Don't remember anything in the rules that just because a jumper is older than dirt he's exempt from the sacred beer tradition. Think about it guys and gals, your entering a slippery slope if you let even one person break the sacred beer traditon. If This gets out this could cost the free beer people hundreds of cases of free beer over the next 10 yrs. Govt math Since Twardo claims captain mom made him do it. Then maybe you all should ask her to buy the beer. The tradition would be preseved for another 50 yrs. If that don't work someone on twardo.s DZ need to take up a collection for a case of heini and donate it in honor twardo and the sacred beer tradition. One Jump Wonder

Hi John Just turned 66 a couple of days ago. So i've been trying to come up with a logical plan to enjoy whatever time we have left. There's lot's of confusing terms for old folks home. Assisted living, retirement home, and who knows what else. Thats just not my thing ,by the time I got to that point I would have to stick bingo. I was thinking more along lines of a retirement community. I think that would be single family detached homes / trailers with lawn service. Maybe 55 min age, no max age, no children allowed to stay overnight etc. I think it would be a great place to play shuffleboard and meet my neighbors on the court, give free lessons to nice widow ladies that need a helping hand.

Hi Mr Peak Great job as usual.

Hi ZepQuote Going to hell? I'm 66 so I'll get to hell befor you and save you a window seat.

Some of The boiler room scammers in the U.S. are very creative, and would borrow some spare change from a dead mans eye's. Some time your last line of defense is nosy neighbors and a UPS driver. The seniors older than twardo don, t need the net or a credit card to scammed just a small ad in a magazine is enough to get the ball rolling. As long as a senior can read a magazine and write a check, or place a order over the phone watch out. If you go home and find mass qtys of mags laying around thats not a good sign. When you find mass qtys of cheap ass custom jewelry, or other useless junk laying around you better react immediatly.

Uh oh. . . I did provide an address based on an earlier email that sounded legit. I guess I'm in for it. John your joking right? I'm sure you remember the couple that tried to raise some spare change on CL for a fun trip to disney land by advertising a diamond ring for sale. Do you have any plastic sheets you can put over your carpet just in case you need todo the bang thing. CL is real hit and miss. FWIW new mormal is to meet on neutral ground. Giving out you home address you may have to protect yourself but then you get to clean up the bio hazard or have to pay a pro to come in and clean the mess. Cl is not a cake walk Im sure you and V can take care of yourself and are well aware of the math. Jury of 12 vs 8 peeps to carry the box. We just leave extra stuff by the curb with a sign that says free. 2 hrs it's gone . Not worth exposing my location for some chump change. Be well R.

This is the net there are no dumb questions. The SCR is a award for bellying flying in a 8 way or bigger. I checked your profile your a ff and crw person don't worry be happy if you want a SCR get together your belly flyers at your DZ and its a done deal. Dumb question a babe posts that she's so excited because she got her scr on her 10th jump. The dumb part was when she asked what a SCR was Another natural born skydiver with the right stuff R.

You'd be surprised how bad off most mega-lottery winners are after just a few years. No I wouldn't, I've seen the kind of people who play the lotto! You're right. Although I buy a ticket from time to time, in our family we call the lottery "a tax on people who are bad at math." Sadly, too many people have few money/life skills. It slips thru their fingers faster than anyone could imagine. In our state I have seen some smart winners, though, that hire an investor (hopefully honest) to give them a sustainable income for the rest of their life.

Never gave this much thought as my user name is simply my 1st initial, the rest being my last name. Heck I've never given being a serial killer much thought. I'll dwell on it and get back with ya! Best- Richard[/quote Yes, you need a middle name to be a serial killer. We spent the last 25 yrs in the PNW. Since it rains all the time and the sun rarely shines the area is ground zero for infamous serial killers. Ted Bundy started in the seattle area and "worked" his way to florida until he got caught and executed. Don't have a clue if he has a middle name. Nickname Teddy Gary Ridgeway had commited so many murders over a 25 year period south of seattle that when he finally got caught due to DNA. The county prosecutors claimed he forced to accept 45 guilty plea deals for LWOP Due to the cost of litigation x 45. Dont know if Gary had a middle name but his nickname is the Green River Murderer. I think this discussion might be more productive for promise 5 if we throw out some outstanding unforgettable DZ nicknames that can help her get started on her marvellous skydiving journey. In the spirit of the origional topic of this thread. I'll start with " Serial". ***Anyone else have a nickname they would like to throw on the table.To help this nice lady out. R.I.P. the last three letters of my screen name, my dz name and the middle name on my USPA stuff. " One Jump Wonder

Now there is a memory I wasn't really missing. You would never forget it if you had to descend with the plane. We had a guy that forgot and since the door was open on on the 180 the sentinel performed as advertised The guys body actually bent the trailing edge of the door opening as he was extracted by his reserve out the plane.

Hello The fulton recovery system on hc -130 was designed to recover people from the ground or we thought but it actually had a dual mission. The other half of the mission was: Snagging packages in mid air that were descending after a classified mission taking pics from a satellite or something that couldn't land. This was during the cold war and started prior to RVN. Not sure if the black birds wore patches advertising what they were doing. But the hc 130s were stationed in Hawaii for sure, maybe California and other locations around the world. R. Have you tried a google search under midair recovery system's.?

We have had the pleasure of being scoped by 5 or docs with a 80 percent success rate. The one Dr was a real ass hole that was hurting me enough that my wife could me screaming in the the waiting .

you might get some one to take the bait. Have you considered posting this request in the speakers corner forum R.

having had a colonoscopy, I was thinking it's amazing that stone withstood the onslaught of that gallon of goo you drink the night before to flush your system. I've never felt so . . . spic 'n span in my life. Did you get the "MoviPrep"? Dave Barry's description of the flavor is dead-on accurate: Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons.) Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes -- and here I am being kind -- like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon. Ref: http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/02/11/v-fullstory/427603/dave-barry-a-journey-into-my-colon.html Movi prep, yummy. Don't understand how they came up with that name, or why they can't do something about the odor of the concentrate or the taste of the mixture. But it is what is. When we go to the pharmacy to pick up the big white box , we always ask the pharmacist or tech if they want to go to the movie with us, and if the script if refillable. I can hardly wait until June for my next scope job. I aready know they are looking forward to seeing a Offical card carrying Ass hole. I learned that when your in a small room with two female medical pro's and your knocked out to keep my pie hole shut, because they will get even. Lets all go to the movi
