I guess I could have just said that. Hey can I log the jumps she made with me before I was born, I think she said 24 jumps. Someone pointed out to me when I mentioned that my first few jumps (s/l) I went straight into the fetal position, they said, "what do you expect, you made the others like that". Thought that was funny

watch it now, i still haven't hit 40, hell my 20year HS reuinion is this year! I already have 22 years with USPA. God, maybe I am old My 20 year HS reunion is this summer too. So what's with the 37 years in the sport shown below your avatar? Well depending on how you look at it I guess I need to change it to 38 (my age). My parents met skydiving, dad made two more jumps and packed while mom was at the dz starting labor with me. I was her second born so she knew she had time for him to jump again before he took her to the hospital. My father ran the DZ for about 20 years and the kids were packers (.50 $/pack job) I grew up on the DZ, made my first jump in 84. I did only 10 jumps a year for about 13 years until he passed, then I cutaway and "really" went skydiving and made 950 jumps in two years.So you tell me.... what should it say?? I really dont know??

No, but I have now! I will check that out. Is this the same linda that I met at MOAB?? If so, hello this is J, I had the Odyssey demos. If not then hello and thanks for the info.

Awesome read!!! I totally agree with your definition of a Sky God. It is funny how those little moments make a major impact. My guess is you have never stopped giving back either. Or paying it forward. Great stuff Roger thanks

Is that chuck blue in the second shot chucking??? cockatillooooooo

Yeah I like it but she is not with it yet If she doesn't hurry I will call it DC for Damm Cat!!

I like where you are going with this. She has the darker mixed front on her head but she also has this grey "collar" of hair and then it goes back to the mixed as it goes down her back. I cant believe her colors. One paw is half tan and then black/red brown. Every day it seems like we find a new pattern or almost a new color. she is one cool cat. I love some of these names you guys are coming up with.

That would be incredible. I have not had a chance to scan his photos form the 60's and 70's, you just motivated me!! I will get a section added to the site and will take you up on that. Great Idea. I have discovered that we are only missing 2 parachutist since it started. The publishing schedule was like annually then bi annually, etc.. until monthly. We are missing two of the early few years. One mag had a ladies name on the address label and I asked mom about it, she laughed and said that was a gf from before her. God I love hearing about the old days!

yeah how bout "Geri"? Thanks Lee or carpet fuz that cat may be a female but what jaime doesn't know is, that the cat is my "boy". That thing will wrestle like a dog, she kicks back in the patio and watches me work on projects in the back yard for hours. Great cat, whater ever the f*** its name is

the reunions are fun (though I was embarassed at the last one I went to because I was the only guy without a jacket and tie.)Quote So you were the only one comfortable? Is there a site specifically for the "Old Tmers" My boogie site is getting overhauled, I was thinking I could put a forum for such a thing. Nothing major....dont want to keep it updated and too busy with the boogie, but if there is a need.. Hope you are well

Found this, thought some of you might want to use it. Not sure how current it is but sounds like a great idea. you can sign up for the announcements of gatherings. Take it for what it is worth. http://www.pia.com/lownumbers/Default.htm J

Interesting I wonder if it has anything to do with suspended weight vrs pulling force?? therefore no need?? Just a guess.

Hey Dom, I think Billy thinks you photoshoped that pic!!! he wants to launch the chunk!!! maybe he wants your slot.. bwaaa

just fell out of my chair, busting out!!

Let's give them a clue Jay. This picture was taken over Thanksgiving and I konw you haven't jumped since then at least After I replied to you, I thought to myself..Dam watch me go low or something, after doging you. And hey, since I got off the tour, I have been working on two houses and moving, tomorrow we get a new AC...I promise I will go make a jump SOOOON

I thought it was "cutaway low and spot for your freebag"

bite me. When you are as good as me, you dont have to be current!!! Boy am I gonna get bashed for that one... see me ducking from the flying objects heading my way!!! I promise to make a jump before the 30 way! Darnit did I kill another thread??

What are you skeered???

So does that make me an old timer? I was born into the sport but I am only 38. Although I am starting to feel older but now, you have made me think.. There are a bunch of folks in here much older and more experienced, even though i do of course have my share of experience i wouldnt even began to put myself in the ranks of those "real" old timers, (not really referring to their age, but experience) help me on this...not ready to get old...lol
