  1. Well, it was in the 20's here today, but no snow. I'm so glad. I really dislike driving in it or shoveling it. The rational part of my mind, what little there is of that part left these days any way, says it's crazy to be skydiving when you have to plow the runway. But something tells me I'd be right there waiting to jump with ya' Brrrrr "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  2. So far the weather is looking ok for Sunday, so it's not gonna be cookies this time. But, if our paths cross one of these days, you've got a beer coming. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  3. Balmy = 24 or 25 and that's degrees Celsius. I got out the calculator! But I'm really happy with blue skies, mild winds and above freeaing. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  4. Yes, it is. I thought about converting it, but I'm on break from math for a few weeks. But balmy? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  5. Yeah. The forecast says it's supposed to warm up to a high of 36 degrees Farenheit. It was 19 here last night. I already have Under Armor, but I going to buy another pair of gloves. One of the TI's had me use his last weekend and I want my own. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  6. Thrt's what is says here in Idaho, too. Knock on wood!!! I think I'm gonna get to do AFF 3 this weekend.
  7. Damn,. I knew the name didn't sound quite right. I've only seen one of them myself over and over and over from the projection booth. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  8. Well, it is reminiscent of "Devin and Mrs Jones" from a long, long time age. Hadn't thought about that one in a long time. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  9. And how. I saw one of my students get hung up and drug around a while. When I was talking to him about it later, he said it was nothing. The year before he had broken both arns. I think I'll stick to jumping out of planes. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  10. That's great advice. Once I figure out how to land better, I think I'm going to have my kids come out. I think the 2 landing so far would probably not have had a very good effect. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  11. Have a great break! I'd send ya' that case of beer I owe ya' if I could. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  12. I know, but I just couldn't resist. I figure I'll hear about it "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  13. No, it's not NA, AA, etc that are making money but there are a lot of quick fix poorly run businesses springing up looking for govt money for treating people with drug/alcohol type problems. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  14. You still holding the patent on that???
  15. Here's mine, a raccoon. I think it fits me pretty well. Curious and getting into mischief
  16. Either that or they are REALLY pissed off. My kids knew when I let loose with more colorful vocabulary, they were probably in deep shit. Highly effective when not used on a regular basis. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  17. oK MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS!! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS!! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS!! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS! MISTY ROCKS!! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  18. Hard to wait isn't it? I'm hoping to get 2 jumps in next weekend, but.......I don't know why I couldn't have discovered skydiving in the spring when the weather is better. Oh, well, it's well woth the wait. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  19. We couldn't even get the administration to let the student government contribute to a field trip where students would do a tandem as part of a physics class. But they do all kinds of things for the rodeo club. I've watched some of the college rodeos and I'd rather jump out of an airplane than try to ride one of those damned bulls any day.

  20. Whether to skydive or not has to be a decision made by adults for themselves. There is an omnipresent possibility you can die, and parents are not going to be real happy with that. Convincing a parent that it's ok to take that risk by using statistics will probably not be effective. Unles someone is a statistician, statistics are just numbers that people don't understand or trust. I don't think why someone wants to skydivie is going to be understood well by someone who has never tried itl (This, by the way, from someone who doesn't discuss that aspect of skydiving with her kids. I think they are happier not knowing.) "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  21. I just saw on our local news that ESPN is going to have a segment on basejumping this week. http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/stories/ktvbn-dec1007-base_jumping_espn.14384a4.html "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  22. QuoteThis is true. However the bungee never breaks. Knock on wood /reply] Never??? Hmmm.... maybe then. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
