    I just keep hearing Lee saying "Hey Skrimmey!" He loved butchering my last name, and he didnt like calling me J. Damn I will miss him dearly. Brandy, please know you have support if you need, I am sure that goes for any of us. Lee, introduce yourself to Jerry, Im sure he and Beezy are telling old jump stories. God I will miss you. J

    I had 24 jumps before I was born in Oct of 1967, made my first jump that I can remember in 1984 didt get my D until 93. So Im not really sure how many "years" I have been in the sport. And since my mother was president of USPA for 3 terms, I guess I tend to "protect" the organzation. If it helps my USPA number is 44632 oh my mothers is USPA 420

    Yup been there with X fiance and it was much worse, she got the house, my money, and stuck me with a vehicle note. We never married, but she was 6 months after she left me............ wont say anymore about that.....but your FREE!!! and you got out cheap!! It sucks for now, but trust me it gets better, and if they dont have enough guts to do it in person they will always be hiding something. Go now and live Free....

    How bad is the floor? Bad stains, light stains......will you use a circular sander, those a real fun. If you do, the secret is to use your finger tips to guide it, soft touch, and dont let it grab a base board or you and or the wood could get hurt. LOL

    I think Mirage is pretty close.

    email bruce@sunpath.com if it is a common size they probably have it in stock. Not sure when you emailed them, but remember they are only open Mon to Thur. so they were only open three days this week. Oh, you did say 5 weeks, well that is excessive but it tells me there is something else going on as well. If you cant get a response from Bruce, call Rick at the shop. Not making excuses for them but I do know there has been a lot of traveling with some of the staff lately with the military mess and all. Good luck J

    The night is cold, the pain is great! They enter the Jet as Jets, not saying a word, well except maybe one. "Three?" For the rest of the flight all you hear is the humming of the Jet engines, and it aint from the players!!!!

    Yes and there is an additional wrap around the top piece as opposed to the original way.
  16. upndownshop
    I didnt catch if this was a new rig or not, my guess it is 4-5 years old. If I am correct in what I am thinking, its the way one piece is attached. Sun Path changed the way they attached it shortly after first using the SP88's. I also believe they will do the conversion for free if it fits this situation. I think I remember that being the case The last few years I had more complaints that they didnt let go! Had to teach people to lift the top piece first then try and slide the webbing. This is for putting on or takeing it off. Give them a call and see if they can help. J

    Hey, been there and got the T shirt, as a matter of fact wore it today. The story I got was that the frenchman that "discovered" parachute, said he had heard about this device that a man named Devinche made called a parachute. The frenchman said the valley looked like what he thought a parachute might look like The welcome sign is of a round parachute and I believe there was a Xkeys bumper sticker on it. Do you think Skyride sells tickets to jump there too? Oh wait, then they would make them drive to Maine, claiming that is the closest DZ? Hey but at least they could sell a gasoline guarantee. We promise there will be gas stations all the way there.

    To Chris, thank you for your years of dedication and hard work! I for one appreciate what you have done! Congratulations Ed!!! Look forward to what you will do for us!!! Just from our conversations over the last month, I know you will open some new doors and opportunities for our sport! And to USPA, thank you all for your hard work, and the ability to keep going forward, especially in these hard times! I am very proud to have been a member of USPA for almost 25 years, and with my families combined membership being almost 200 years I know they are proud as well! Thank you! J Schrimsher

    Chris Give me a shout, lets talk. How bout a combined event this year so we both have more time to get other things worked out for 2009? I think it would be a great event and a lot of fun!! I have the location, just need some serious help getting it put together. Funny about your poll I meant to post something similar last week for SF. What ya think?
  21. upndownshop
    Thats funny, I have been selling those at the SkyFest (SF) boogie for the last 4 years. Except we added a matching red T-Back with Remove Before Flight on it. I have another T back idea that I will have to give partial credit to Scott Miller and his canopy control class for its creation. Should be out in about 3 weeks.

    You are correct about the swoopers, I apologize for leaving them out. This is what you missed I am sad to sayhttp://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3009967#3009967 Another friend no its not the first time and probably not the last but.......maybe we can save a few...
  23. upndownshop
    If you are a solo jumper, high or low altitude Hop N Pop....make sure people know what you are doing. Assign someone to make sure you return. Make sure we check in with each other!! Please, you might save a life some day, or yours might be saved! Tough few years.....!!! I'm tired......
