Dude, if I could be there, I'd be the resident "dirty old man" retired skydiver hanging with the girls & telling lies! Represent! Be there for the sky chicas to mother, or baby, or... whatever... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Google is my friend... http://www.google.com/webhp?sa=N&hl=en&tab=lw#hl=en&q=how+do+i+remove+bing+toolbar%3F&btnG=Google+Search&fp=HA9TINlXipE When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

just drain the old oil and replace with fresh oil. Its been sitting 8 years? I would drain fuel and replace with fresh fuel, also replace the rubber fuel lines..new spark plug too.. you'll want to put few squrts oil in cylinder head, let it soak around rings and turn engine over by hand to free up stuck piston rings before kicking it over to start... Be sure you do this with the spark plugs removed! Liquids will not compress, so with enough oil & the plugs in you can easily bend/break things internally. Google is probably your best friend right now, but I'd suggest you shun him & see if a local community college or trade school has any openings in auto repair or small engine repair classes. Just like IT has it's own tools, language & culture, so does mechanics. If you don't know the difference between ft/lbs & in/lbs, if you don't know whether the engine is a 2-cycle or 4-cycle, you may as well just throw it away now & save yourself time money & frustration.

The TSA's job is to attempt to protect the flying public from dangers to the aircraft, it's occupants, & it's operators, not investigate why someone has a sum of cash with them on a domestic flight, which BTW is completely legal. Let's put this in a way most of us can relate to. You're boarding your flight, heading away to that boogie you've heard about for years & finally have the opportunity to attend. Your very new, very expensive rig is in your hands as carry-on. You stow your rig, take your seat, buckle up & continue reading the book in your pocket when a cabin attendant nervously approaches, followed discreetly by another. The CA then apologizes but demands that you surrender your rig & it be stowed in the baggage compartment, citing what you know is a BS reason. YOU know it's no different that carrying a tennis racket or fishing pole, but because someone recognized a parachute, someone in the flight crew is now convinced you're going to disable the plane somehow & parachute to safety for some nefarious reason. They refuse to listen to your assurances that you & it are harmless passengers who want to play elsewhere. Do you give up your rig to try to make things smooth for everyone else, or do you sit there because you KNOW they have no legal right to demand this?

Yep, that's pretty much it. Once I'm able to resume full activity, mornings are busy with gym, evenings are busy with being social, and weekends are busy with jumping ... Also, my work is going to get very busy in a few weeks - I won't have time for anything personal during the day. I'm not worried

You need something as inspiration. For me, it was a little heart attack 7 months ago. For you, I'd suggest focusing on your other half. I've quit 2 or 3 times in the past, always cold turkey. I've found that for me, it isn't the physical craving that's the problem, it's the "ceremony" of lighting-up & smoking I have the most trouble breaking. Food, like the pretzel nuggets mentioned above, are a good distraction as long as you stay aware & don't transfer one ceremony for another that's just as unhealthy. It's not easy after 40 years of ceremony, & I'm still learning to deal with it. So far I think I've managed to do a decent job, if you consider that I've only gained 3-4 pounds since Thanksgiving. Feel free to give me a shout if you need someone to talk to, or just vent! Not only am I living it myself, but my brother quit smoking a couple months ago after 30+ years also, so I KNOW how it feels to be on the receiving end of a quitter's temper.

You're probably right. I'll be out of the cast on Thursday, so among all the "gimpy girls" I'll be the one with most mobility ... I promise to have a camera handy ... and if you all are nice, maybe I'll share a few pictures from the impromptu wet t-shirt contest ... O You wouldn't happen to have access to a nurse's uniform, would you? I'm just sayin'... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

You need rating cards (0-10) to hold up! Of course someone with a calculator to come up with averages would be nice, but who are we kidding here. Fact is you'll end up sloppy drunk & in the pond WITH your rating cards after a couple hours anyway... Have fun. Wish I could attend.
