  1. I could funnel a hybrid for ya. It's a service I provide only on special occasion jumps. (For people who weren't around last fall when I did my 500th, do a skydivingmovies.com search for Marion. It's funny.) And Darin- Congrats on the growing harem. Just try to remember their names from now on. Melissa- the puppy isn't here yet. I'm picking her up tomorrow! Huge thanks to Eric who stayed up really late with me last night hanging curtains and shelves and rearranging all my junk so it doesn't get chewed up.
  2. "Tippy" (still working on the name...) and Hank got along pretty well. She's still a little socially awkward and is learning that she can't just run up to a stranger and start playing. She came on pretty strong with Hank, but he humped her head and that pretty much settled who was calling the shots. She's great- I can't wait for her to meet everybody next weekend.
  3. oooo... Florida. It was 32 degrees this morning! Take me with you! I hope you guys are having fun, and I can't wait to see you again!
  4. Look who might be joining us at the dz! http://tippyfosterpuppy.blogspot.com/ Hank is going to visit her on Friday to see if they get along. You can also check her out on the APS of Durham page.
  5. Official decree from the queen: Dude, you are the one and only Joe. If some other guy named Joe showed up, he'd have to choose another name or leave. There are no Joe numbers, since there's only one Joe.
  6. Beat me to it! Kiddie pools are dirty but available. But you forgot the slip n slide got lawnmowed. Edit: I didn't catch "dirty but available" the first time! Maybe that fits with the theme of your party...
  7. Glad you got through Wilma! We'll see you in a few weeks at the Thanksgiving Boogie! Woohoo! Okay everyone- Joe's band will be playing for us on Saturday night of the Thanksgiving Boogie! That's just a little over three weeks away, so we need to get serious about collecting money. You can give your $$$ to me any time. I'll also take donations during the boogie. These guys rock, and whatever you can afford to pitch in makes a difference.
  8. There are very few people out there who would benefit from the Speed model, but that number is growing. It seems like a good alternative to introduce to a growing market. Yeah, I guess. But really, people make uninformed choices about all kinds of things and I don't want that to limit the cool stuff that's available to people who take the time to know their gear.
  9. Stepping away from the "Can your ADD kill you" argument... It sounds like Airtec is not switching all units to the higher activation speed, so if you don't want it, don't buy it. It's an alternative for some people who might otherwise go without an AAD for safety reasons. Student and Tandem models are for special markets. So is the Speed model. On a tandem jump, I'd want a Tandem Cypres. In my current rig, I'd want an Expert Cypres. If I flew a canopy that went really really fast, I'd want a Speed Cypres. One size doesn't fit all.
  10. Yeah, then you can do all that crazy freefly stuff. Weirdo.
  11. Yeah Guido. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that D2 could take you down. I miss you Dawn. I always feel like I'm forgetting to do something on jumprun, and then I remember it's the shit hot swooper chick "handshake."
  12. I wish I'd found out before Sunday that this was your last weekend with us. We'll miss you!
  13. Picture #33 was 1/6 of a second after picture #32. It's of Eric just a few feet lower. Seriously, though, I missed your exit because I was watching Eric's landing. Melissa- you'll see it you-know-when. Guido- that's cool, hope you can make it. So the weather sucks and Dave and I decided not to drive to Chester. Let's do something fun tonight. Movie?
  14. No way dude! Are you aware that I still have your freaking cooler from last Thanksgiving?
  15. Here are some of the BD pics Eric and I took. When Eric gets back from Perrine, I think he'll post all of them on Shutterfly. Jason- I had fun sherpa-ing for you and Tracy.
  16. Ok, so I live in the stone age and have no internet at home. Hence the tardiness of the BD pics... I'll get them off my laptop and post them tomorrow. Case, I'll send you the you-know-what for the you-know-what tomorrow as well. It's a good one.
  17. I have a bunch of pictures on my computer... I'll get them online after my midterm () unless Eric beats me to it. Michelle- That sucks! I hope you're feeling better soon. Just a reminder to everybody that Eric's birthday party is this Sunday! Let me know if you're coming so we'll know how much cake to make.
  18. And a Funeral Home... Melissa, I hear you on the whole getting up early thing. Joe- Do we know who's playing first tonight?
  19. Case, When I first read that, I thought, "What's a Casey-fruit?" Oh- in case y'all missed it, our own Darin Hinman unintentionally started a "Sabres are deathtraps!"/"No they're not!" war in General Skydiving Discussions.
  20. Monday is Columbus Day? Oh. I had no idea... I don't think we're going to be open. Sorry.
