  1. :4:0 Slow weekend due to a hurt neck and family obligations. 2 tandems, 2 birdman jumps. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Get used to it. They keep maturing at the same pace, no matter how much we'd like them to slow down for awhile and let us enjoy a particular age. While they remain our "babies" forever, they do have to grow up, it's just part of the deal. Here's a picture of my daughter and I taken last month.
  3. I just got up less than an hour ago. Breakfast currently consists of red beer and bavarian creme eclairs. It might not be as good as oatmeal with salmon and feta cheese, but it ain't half bad! You may now continue with your regularly scheduled post-whoring. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. LOL - I knew it had to be your doing when I got a Happy Birthday PM from Billy. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Thought about it, but I've been on the road too much lately and will be out of town again next weekend. Think I'm gonna stay local this weekend. Have fun! Pansy-ass. I haven't spent a weekend at home since the weekend before LP and I've already got plans out of town for the next 7 weekends. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. It's working pretty well right now, and I'm home for the night thus no driving. Chalk up another point in favor of heading down there tomorrow.
  7. I got a quick gentle one at the dz this evening. It helped a bit temporarily. Are YOU waiting for FUEL??! oops...I meant to ask, are you going to Molalla this weekend? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. I'm up in the air on it now. I had a brutal opening last Saturday that left me with a stiff neck for a couple days, then it added lower back spasms and became painful, then today it got worse. I was planning on driving down tonight, but I'm gonna stay home and see how it feels in the morning. Right now I'm guessing the best case scenario is that I drive down to party with everyone tomorrow night but don't jump until Saturday morning, if at all. I'm thinking it's reached the point that I should find out what a combination of flexeril, oxycodone, and wine can do for it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Primarily to see friends I don't get to see often and to make new friends. The fact that I get to skydive with them is usually secondary. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. My ex's mom is really big, like 330 lbs. She doesn't wait for airlines to tell her to buy an extra seat, she just buys one on her own. I have somehow avoided such a situation thus far, but if/when it happens I won't hesitate to tell the person to stop touching me. I'm not really known for mincing words. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. Wow...two of us unfortunate souls. Actually, I kind of like the work. It's just the bureaucracy that gets frustrating. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Environmental engineer. Some days that entails sampling, borehole geology, or analytical chemistry, but most days I write papers. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. Jumper 1 and Jumper 2 both reside within my head. Jumper 2 usually wins that argument with "I can handle it" just as I let go of the airplane, to which Jumper 1 usually replies "Shit...you better!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. I ain't gonna type out all my thoughts on the subject. If you remind me in Byron we can talk about it in person. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Last week Gia sent an email to a co-worker that was (supposedly) intended for me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. Have you told Dave about him? Dave should probably know that you're already engaged... Between him and the truckdriver... Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Make the digits of your house number and hang them next to your front door. Put a fancy edge on a table. Make a sign for each bedroom door that says whose room it is. Make a better looking version of the attached plaque. Those ought to keep you busy for a little while. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. That first one is a downside to outside video, not an upside. I hate not being able to see the vidiot. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Did you see my post? Unless there's an intent to descend to the surface using the tandem system, it's not a "tandem parachute operation." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. A good friend of mine walked out of job after 2 hours. He was hired as a parking lot attendant and it was raining on his first day. He decided to quit after an hour and 40 minutes and was proud of himself for making the 2 hour mark. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Why would you "total" something twice? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Cheesier than "Pieces"??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Yes, and I will be sunburnt and tired by the time it is done. Not complaining, I like it like that. Have fun with it, and slow down when you and everyone else starts getting tired. Earlier in the year I was planning on doing it, but it kind of slipped off my radar. Wasn't it originally supposed to happen early-mid August? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Probably less than 10. 5 jump to the top of my head and I can think of a few VERY close calls. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. This is the tandem state record weekend at Toledo? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
