Karl Castle of NPR fame is going to be in Wichita this weekend. His voice on your program would be much cooler than on your answering machine. I'd download it but Martin has not moved into the digital age yet. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Well at least we know the Shah is still with us and up to the usual. Skittles, I heard Sandra Bullock is available and without crumb snatchers. Maybe you can hook up with her at that Univeral Studios theme park. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Anybody know if the Shah pounded in this weekend? He should be all over this by now with a 7 paragraph minimum. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

WTF! Does he know you refer to him as "my partner?" Hey we're still freeflying and looking for a new vidiot. You, on the other hand, are now just handling meat.

I have a Viso and replaced my batteries last night. Unit was off, pulled out the battery tray and inserted two new CR2325 batteries and it powered up right away with everything stored in it as before. There is only two ways I see that could not be correct. Both batteries together but inserted in the tray incorrectly or batteries stacked together incorrectly. Possibly you have two bad batteries or incorrect type of battery. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Let's hope he/she deleted SR from the GM program and grabbed all the "secret agreements" before taking the site down. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

East Texas is forrested. Pines and hardwoods. Lots of logging and stuff. Diboll TX was at one time a company town owned by Temple [Industries] and they paid everyone in script. Now it's pretty much just a speed trap. SFA has an experimental forest out there for there Foresty program. So you get Ph.D canditates from China encountering their first coon-ass or redneck or meth cook. There is a little cafe off 21 west that has squirrel on the buffet line when in season. Lots of chicken houses too. Tyson and Pilgrims. When the space shuttle went down in the Pine Curtain, searchers from all over the US came in and were breifed on the dangers of the hydrazine propellent. Well this team came to the CP freaking out that they had been exposed because they smelled something god-awful. The head of the country ER asked them where they were and they said in a field boardering 5 low tin buildings and they smelled something like ammonia. He said, "that ain't rocket fuel guys, you just stepped into chicken shit." All in all just a weird place called the Pine Curtain. Normal world stuff does not apply behind it and occasionally one or two crazies escape. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

I've only been to the HD shop once. It was fairly new big place on Hwy 59 between Lufkin, TX and Henderson, TX. That ought to keep it anonymous. Anyway, I never saw all that much traffic in/out of the place because it was not a very RUBy area. So I decide that diesel prices are going to climb and I really didn't have to drive the truck all that much so I'd get a bike. That weekend I'm wearing Carhart overalls and covered in drywall dust and crap while renovating part of the student area of our church. I'm headed to the hardware store and I decide to stop at the HD shop and look at the Nighttrain and VRod. Walk in and I'm the only customer in the place. Chick at the register in the middle looks at me and goes back to folding tee shirts. Parts guy just stays behind the counter. I look at both bikes, spec sheets, etc and absolutely nobody makes any type of sales attempt. They ignored me. I spent about 30 minutes between the two bikes, sat on both, and nothing out of the staff. The whole time, my 1/2 my checkbook is hanging out of my back pocket. On my way out the door, I pulled it out, turned around and held it in the air and said, "You just ignored an eight thousand dollar cash payment. I won't be back." I left and decided that if these dumbshits were that proud of thier product, they could sit on. I went on-line and found a Vulcan 800 with 3K miles on it in Memphis and went and picked it up from the guy for 4,000. Half of what I was going to put down on the HD. Rode it all over from Houston to Dallas. I have 17K on it now and just pulled it out of the garage here in Kansas and she fired right up and I rode around some after work. Easy bike to work on too. I ripped off all of that EPA shit and opened the pipes some by cutting out the rear baffles. Single carb is simple and there are other mods I could do but just don't have the time. The other nice thing is it doesn't have a computer, all cables, chain, and mechanical parts. Pretty fast too. I'm happy with it. Not sure if that HD place is still open given the economy behind the Pine Curtain but I really don't give a fuck.

Wichita as in Kansas. The ICT, ta-town. Air Capital DZ. Biggest city in the square state. Come on down. Actually you can probably hit ALL THREE (3) KS dropzones on your way to Denver. Go to K-State, then drop by Jen's place, back on I-35 to ACDZ. Alas probably won't happen because we never get anybody dropping by. Well we did have a Norweigen and a trucker once. I think the Norweigen was lost though. But it would be pretty f*ing cool and it will be a reason to break out the good beer

Pissing contest aside, This doesn't make sense in light of the fact that any airport built with public funds has some sort of private enterprise operating on it. Take ATL, built with public money and every airline and concession upon the airport is a private enterprise. I'm sure that the FBO at Cedartown is not some guy on the city payroll. They should have just raised the lease to a premium and part of the profits or something without making stupid statements on the record It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

There are three (3) DZ's in Kansas. AirCap in Wichita SD Kansas in Osage City K State Club in Wamego That's it and nobody takes SR certificates. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

Not a rigger but I'll take a stab. They can do it because they now have the rig and can declare it unairworthy and force you to pay to get it back in service!?! Just my guess.

[reply Also, keep a pair of extra batteries in your bag. They aren't the kind you can just bum off a buddy since they are expensive little critters. +1 I can only find them locally at Radio (what the hell is that, we are a cell phone store) Shack. If travelling, you don't want to have to spend 1/2 your jump day hunting a pair. About $5 each. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

Mine works the same way. The manual that came with your Viso explains this and the varying settings. Since you are relying on this for accurate information to save your life, it would be a good thing to read before jumping it again. I'm just saying. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Brilliant! I better jump on that Comp Cobalt 95 that Moffett has up in the classifieds. Hell, for $800 I could be taking down gates with the best of them next week. Can I get into ElyJs canopy course this Wednesday? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

So I'm sure that if you know his comp swoop number, you got his name. Call him up or email him and have it out with him. It just looks like you are seeking validation here from people who were not there and are only getting a one-sided story. You need your validation to come straight from the horse that bit you. Give him the whole story and see what he says. All of the swoopers I've talked to are pretty easy going if you shoot them straight right off the bat. After all, most of them are not skygods -- they just hop and pop.

I for one am not sick of it. In fact, we watch it all day in our office. Curling is a very beer-centric sport at all levels. I think I heard last Olympics, that the ettiqute demands that Winners buy Losers beer. As far as atheletes go, it is called the Olympic Games and curling is a game. Flame Away.

Support Brian Germain and buy his book. It has all the theory you need right there and you can read it every bad weather day. I went to a canopy course at a big DZ toting a ST150; Sabre 170 to the Stilletto at ~220 jumps. Landed it fine 6X at my little home DZ. Got to the canopy course and it spun up hard and fast on me and I got something just shy of the a Lepka speech from the course director. So he probably 1. Saved my life by getting me off of it then or 2. Saved me a lot of greif in my progression and money in repacks that day. It's rare that you see anybody come into this forum with low jump numbers, I consider mine low, and ask how to make a flat turn or a flare turn, or say, "I want to be able to make a down winder but I'm scared, what is different?" It's all "I have sillz" or I have 100 jumps and found a great deal on a JVX. Yea I'd love to be able to swoop like Stu or Ian or AggieDave but you have to put in the time. I hear about Methods but I don't know what that means and don't care right now because I'm still working up to a 270. When the time comes, I find out what the theory of Methods is and go from there. That's pretty much how it works. YMMV ------------------ Now for my question... Why two different categories for the Cobalt? I put two jumps on mine when I got it and then sent it for reline and got 3 jumps after I got it back and now I'm out for a while with a broken fib. I just have not had much time on it at all but it did seem that it was trimmed a little steeper after reline. Is the difference here in the regular CO and the Comp?
