Hi Bigun Do they taste kind of funny to. R.I.P. I know me bad, don't me.

HI Mr Baumchen Have you considered changing your user name to JB or something and start from scratch. R.I.P.

IMO back hardware and black webbing is asking for trouble. But I'm old

Hi NB We used to go to Arthur Byrants when arthur was still alive. When Jimmy Carter was president and stopped in KC. He made a quick stop at Arthur's. There's a editorial cartoon on the wall of the original restaurant of Arthur standing outside the Pearly Gates and the lord asks " Did you bring the sauce". I would recommend if your going to go to Arthur's do it during daylight and park in front on next to the store. I don't think it would be worth parking in the back The last time we were in KC was about 3-4 yr's ago for a old jump buddies funeral in July Had lunch e every day at Arthur's. IMO eating barbecue in KC at any place but Arthur's is like having Fish and Chips in England at McDonald's. KC has a lot of history, President Harry S Truman (nuked japan) owned a small mens clothing store IN KC MO before he became president. etc etc. The folks in Kansas & Missouri are real nice people (except" The Plaza"" if you want to you can walk about a mile west of "The Plaza" and have one foot in KC MO and the other foot in KC KS. President Truman's home is located about 15 miles east of the city in Independence Mo. The town is headquarters of the LDS or the RLDS (i forget which) church. If your there when the world ends the big guy is supposed to stop by and pick up his flock. Google is your friend

If KC has a early summer It's going to be anything but. Hang out with the locals or you could find yourself in the wrong neighbor hood. Don't forget to eat the Arthur Byants barbecue at the original place. R.

Hi #2 Most of your questions cover the same topic. You've dug yourself a deep hole, and you keep on digging. R.

Hi Folks That must have been before my time IMO the definition of the defecation is good enough. I was just wondering if the B day, man knew what he was saying No telling what goes on in swedan. R.

HI Dr Everything was a lot less expensive back then. Except long distance telephone calls and pocket calculators

Hi Squesk I'm not a car guy either. But the US and cuba have been in a pissing contest since castro took over cuba which resulted in a embargo for about 60 yr's. We can't get Cuban cigars and they can't get U.S. car parts, among other things. I suspect When everyone make nice there will be a run of car collectors from the US to cuba to buy up alll the vintage US cars that have been help together for decades using all kinds of home made methods. I think the car bodies will look like the one in your video. The engines OTOH might be R. One Jump Wonder

Hi Ladies and Gents In another forum a person is trying to improve the retention rate of Tandem students in the sport to greater than 20%. What do the s/l instructors from pre tandem, AFF, tunnel days estimate their retntion rate was after the students first S/l. I never was a jumpmaster, or a FJC instructor but from the lack of new faces on the DZ located in the boondocks, I would estimate the retention rate to be < than 3%. Was the retention rate a lot better than that in places like jumping heaven cali, florida, texas, arizona etc that much better? If the retention rate has improved that much why are the USPA membership numbers almost staying a constant 32K more or less. Senior jumpers dropping out at 20%/year? I'm so confused, time to take another nap, or did I just wake up. R. One Jump Wonder

The previous generations always had a challenge trying to figure out what was going on with the next generation. It's called progress Our parents had to deal with WW2, ,Korea, nuke arms race the cold war,intergration , rock and roll and the beetles. I don't remember them whineing.

I think some people are fucked up and I hope you never have a daughter. Hi Spence I think that woud take two persons that are fucked up. Or at least one that was passed out. If #2 is the product of his parents,and the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree. Can you imagine the crap that the females in his family had to endure.. They could even have to endure dealing with generations of #2's at the same time. A son could be worse than a daughter. R. One Jump Wonder

Look ok to me, but that's just me. I wonder what her front looks like? Not like you can count her ribs...that's just not sexy....that's too skinny! Was just asking not trolling or wanting to cause a fight...just asking. Hi #2 Sure you were

Hi Lead Knew two air force guy's that jumped in HI in early to mid 60's. Dan Brittian sp? and his side kick Van Dan Berg. They told a story about landing in the pineapple field and someone was getting draged on a windy day and got lodged between two pineapple plants R.

Hi A We live in the same county as the bad man and he has the same house number as we do. Just a different town and street. We also met a guy today that had actually seen the kids at a dog park a couple of weeks ago. We have the same sheriff's dept, Their understaffed and cover a large area. The response time is like every where else I guess, priority one etc etc. The 911 operator wasn't to concerned when my boss called about my neighbors hands around my throat. But they sure got motivated when my boss told the operator I shot the dude in the face. The operator started sending out everyone before the wife could finish "in the face with pepper spray" The 911 operator cancelled the priority one and the sheriff showed up in about a 1/2 hr. Glad I didn't use a gun. I said they said, sheriff's was to busy to fill out a police report mutual combat. One Jump Wonder

Monthly Credit Card statement Sorry folks I couldn't help myself. OTOH I could but didn't want to. R.

I avoid all of them. If the weather bad on the east coast the planes can't get to the west coast. When you have to take off your shoe's to go thru airport security with all the grandma's etc.Think about the shoe bomber Richard Reid a brit. Danger Ranger before you go to the airport check the regs on whats allowable and not. When going thru security keep a stiff upper lip, no jokes, or you might miss your flight. WE don't profile people here everyone is treated the same. Badly. Cheers enjoy the flight and come back soon we need your $$$$$ R.

Sounds like you know the story of Monkey-Spanking Elvis. Or maybe Kung Fu! Hi Twardo I have no idea why that Kung fu master actor was hanging from his belt attached to his closet door or whatever with his pants off. R

Hi GD Thank you Drew Eckhardt you the man R

Hi DP Looks like the OP dropped off the thread Can you explain to any of the other interested new comers what you mean by "If your up to it" including the physical, mental & $$$$ involved.

Hi skydivejack It was on the national news last night. Complete interview the inventor's cost, weight, parts etc.Yhey won't make as much $$$ as the dude that came up with facebook, but I want one. I didn't check out the utube link but on nrews they did show the flying people landing in one piece without a parachute. Might be something for WS people to consider to reach their goal of landing without a parachute. Who wants to go first R.
