    I HATE doing that. About 6 weeks ago I had to write in over a hundred jumps at once. Look at Pro-Track data to figure out "tandem", "CRW", "H&P", or "other." Since then I've stayed on it a little better, trying to get to it at least every other week. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm not sure if we have a pilot, but I imagine so. I know I'll be there for 4 FJC students. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Scott, I had already added your name! Hmm...why did I think you lived in Missoula? Must have been the Stevensville boogies. Anyhow, I'll probably get there around the same time as you (Friday evening) after driving over from Richland. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    We cannot move up and down relative to each other and drogue-less tandems do not fall faster than the vidiot. Regardless of weight, jumpsuit, or orientation, we all fall at the same speed as proven by dropping things off of the Eiffel Tower. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    I let them help steer till 1000 ft on their first tandem, but I don't let them help with the landing. On tandem progression jumps I let them help land as long as they've been heads up and done what I've told them up till that point. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    You people do understand what a horrible time Lost Prairie is, right? I guess I'll have to show up myself just to ensure there is no fun had by anyone.

    I'm thinking a Caravan puts it out of the small DZ category! I don't think anything bigger than say a 206 & a TwinBo would qualify as "small." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    2:7:1 2 - the number of times I went low and got back up on a gal's graduation jump yesterday (107 mph average) 7 - 5 RW jumps, 1 solo backfly, 1 tandem 1 - 1 case owed for the first time I've been called a safety nazi. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Good sex is better than a bad skydive, and a great skydive is better than bad sex. When given a choice between two fantastic options, I always choose "both." :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I used to know a guy who put catsup on his vanilla ice cream. Personally, I'm torn between chocolate and caramel...it just depends on my mood. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I suppose you're right. However, you should be aware that the Senate Intelligence Committe is split almost 50/50, Republican and Democrat. It's not as though it was a collection of Bush's best friends that wrote the report. From a CNN article Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Ack! I once had a girlfriend who got a bit pissed off at me. Her solution was to call my ex-wife and invite her out drinking. They spent the entire night together with only one thing in common...Me. That night sucked! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    You're probably right. I was trying to stick to a rule I've set for myself, that being "Any weapons pulled in a fight become the sole property of the victor." It was a very nice knife and I wanted to keep it, but in hindsight I probably should have turned it over when first asked. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    As long as you're honest about the "why". In my opinion, the two most honest reasons a parent would give are: 1. "I'm spanking you because my other attempts at teaching you have been ineffective." 2. "I'm spanking you because your behavior has made me angry." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    I'm not trying to minimize what happened to you, but that was not really a knife *fight*, just like a fisted scuffle with a drunk is a not really a *fight*, it's more like propaganda. If someone who is sober and has even a modicum of coordination and truly wants to cut or stab you, you are going to get cut or stabbed. I'll agree that my experience wasn't really a "fight" and I'll agree with your last sentence if the fight's already on. However with two sober combatants, the element of surprize might be enough to similarly disarm someone. In my life experience, I've found two things that really help in fights. A) taking it to them before they expect me to and B) owning the ground (wrestling/grappling experience). When facing an armed opponent, the first may still save you. It did for me in the above knife incident, in a separate gun incident, and in a couple cases where I was simply out-manned. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    And I fixed it for you. That's Montana, not Wyoming ... 'Shell There is no such place as Montana. It's a figment of your imagination. Quit trying to pawn off your delusions to other people or they'll all try to go there. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Raise them properly from the get-go and they won't become a brat. A proper hierarchy of authority established during their infancy will negate the need for an iron hand later. The last tantrum my daughter threw was when she was 2 months old and we set a firm bedtime. She screamed for an hour and a half that night. The next night she cried for 45 minutes, then 15, 5, and
