I will, but only on the condition that the Republicans have to keep Cheney. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Once upon a time, a girlfriend complained to me about a similar problem, except it was in the bathtub, not the sink. I bought some drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide based, not acidic), only to have her tell me that it didn't work and that the drain was now completely clogged. I walked into the bathroom and verified that the water she'd used to clean the tub (now mixed with drain cleaner) was just sitting in the tub. Cleaning my hands afterward took longer than pulling the drain plug. Blues, Dave Awwww! You dug up a 6 month old thread just to humiliate me! You're so sweet baby! Ha ha! I take it you didn't notice that I anonymized the details? How were they supposed to know that "once upon a time" meant two days ago? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

This sucks. Blue skies, Michelle. A simple "No, I'm not going to make it over there next season" would have sufficed...you didn't need to resort to such dramatic measures to get out of packing for me! On the positive side, I'm glad I held my ground when you kept trying to talk me into going on this trip with ya! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Too bad you missed out on Kara's 100th and subsequent pieing...maybe one of these days you'll come out for an entire weekend! Edit to add: Did you see all the captions for your picture in that other thread? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What he said. There should be multiple charges, including (potentially) solicitation, rape, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The alternate charge lets these guys offend sex offender registration, despite them being the type communities should be informed of. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Well, 1st, you've got them. 2nd you've used them before. No one else has. t 3rd, we've invaded more countries in the last 6 years than any other nation I can think of...and they just happen to surround Iran. I can't blame them for feeling a bit threatened. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

In context, he was making a roundabout threat regarding WWIII, and no, I do not agree with that. In June, an overwhelming majority of Republican Presidential candidates said they would consider the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. As a non-politician, I'm not big on being two-faced, therefore I think Iran should be able to legally pursue possession of any weapon the US or other sabre rattling countries keep in their arsenal. Iran is not the only country with a short-sighted egomaniac at its helm, and she deserves the right to defend herself. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Only a percentage equal to the percent that her miles to and from the aiport are of the total miles. But that makes me think...I've only been deducting a percentage of the interest I pay on my truck loan. Given that my business miles comprise >50% of my total miles, shouldn't a portion of my auto insurance also be tax deductible? Sweet! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Absolutely. She should also be able to write off condoms and advertising costs and anything any other sole proprietor would be allowed to deduct. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Larry's been buying rental houses here and there in recent years, but he is 71 years old...I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to slow down a bit. I think they'd be happy to find someone who wanted buy the whole DZ rather than just selling off the pieces of it. I'd consider it myself if I was more knowledgeable on the airplane/pilot side of things. Maybe in a few more years... In the meantime, West Plains Skydiving is moving to Ritzville this winter. 8 years ago we had Cessna dropzones in Richland, Kennewick, Yakima, and Mead. Now we'll just have one DZ in all of eastern Washington, but at least it's a turbine DZ. If I had to pick the best location to consolidate eastern Washington jumpers, I think it'd boil down to Ritzville or Moses Lake, and Moses Lake is a bit far to expect the largest population base (Spokane) to drive to (plus it may have other air traffic concerns). I've loved having a DZ less than 2 miles from my house for the last 13 years and I wish it wasn't closing up. Still, West Plains isn't that far and the people there are just as fun. Larry and Bob are my friends and I wish them all the best. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My girlfriend is 13 years younger than me, and much more fun than any used car. Blues, Dave oh yeah, my wife of 33 years is my age (52), and she's hotter than a $2 pistol!

What is interesting about that photo is that it shows that the tail did not separate from the aircraft. This is actually a common mistake made by people when they see this type of accident. They assume that the rest of the aircraft must be somewhere else. Except in this case, early reports were that the primary wreckage had been found and the tail had not, as opposed to the other way around. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

:11:0 Nine tandems, including one marriage proposal on landing, one 14-way tracking dive (JasonRose's 500th), and a hop & pop. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That's dz.commer JasonRose in the red & black pants. Who's got the best caption? "Hey, I was dared to do it..." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Jason made his 500th jump yesterday, and another of our guys, Johnny "Red Shoes" Gunn, made his 300th (and our DZO's daughter, Kara, made her 100th today). As you can tell by this picture, Jason and Johnny were pretty darned excited about hitting double zeros together...and it appears Jason is a catcher. Edit to add: In all seriousness, it's been very cool to watch Jason progress. His skills and his attitude both exceed his jumps and time in sport. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
