  1. Trevor, sorry to hear the news. i feel your pain when it comes to losing a car, they can almost become family. see the attached obit. in other news... 0:0:1 no jumps, but ran my first real "race" on saturday morning. a wild 6 mile xcountry run through creeks and stuff. almost 6000 runners. fun fun fun! it was followed up with lots of drinking!

  2. yeah i gotta side with everybody else here - dreamweaver is the way to go. i've been using a trial version of 4 for a long time...i really need to grab a copy of mx and get the trial "extended" before they put out too many new revisions. ARR! as far as good examples do *not* look at my webpage...i just threw it together out of boredom. the ones that i develop at work are nice. i like using dreamweaver when doing ASP coding...it makes sure your tags are code are polished up. i've gotten used to its debugging over the past couple years. good luck!
  3. don't knock on just the purple/pink, that is a sharp lookin rig! and besides it has lots of black too...that's a color isn't it? anyhow, white in a canopy is cool sometimes, i've seen some really dirty ones though. do you always pack inside where it's clean? if you do get white, think about avoiding it for the center cell - that's the one that always seems to get dirtiest the quickest! white ribs can be pretty cool. happy hunting!
  4. nope! right channel, wrong day/time... thanks for trying!
  5. last hint...it's from the "adult swim" lineup...
  6. not on fox...think cartoon network...
  7. close but no cigar...definitely an animated series! b
  8. "Did you know that the average fish today contains more mercury than a rectal thermometer? Would you eat a rectal thermometer?!" "Ahh, mercury...sweetest of the transition metals..."
  9. Hmm...I usually go to a local dealer who marks up the equipment at a minimum. Cost + a few beers! The $$ definitely has to be the driving factor for me. Oh...and the free stuff! I like buying stuff that comes with free stuff!
  10. exactly...the only reason i can guess that they mentioned 2099 is because the regularity of the leonid intensity. sure it will be a nice little shower every year, but it is more of a meteor storm every 31 or 33 years if i remember correctly. maybe they think the next mega-storm will be in 99. hell yeah i'll be out there tonight watching, i just hope we don't get clouded out! b

    Weekend #s

    Just when i feel bad about my 0:0:0 weekend, i see how many others got no jumps too and i don't feel like such a loser! Have a good monday everybody... b
  12. holy shit! the nightmares i'll have tonight will make the nightmares that i had from "thriller" seem like nothin! that is just plain creepy looking! b
  13. this is just a bit of a long song...best live! "if we never, never, never land but fly without a destination... cry without a cause... and lose ourselves for just a second at the beauty of it all... Then maybe... in the next life... we'd be dolphins..." the band is the legendary pink dots and the song is evolution...worth finding on kazaa
  14. way to go! you are definitely a post whore for starting a thread to announce this. but what the hell, i'm a post whore for replying! happy bday and happy whoring! b

    dinner anyone?

    LOL i feel your pain! When i cook for myself i make waaaay too much, and since it usually tastes better fresh then reheated, i eat like 5 servings. What can i say, i'm weak! Self control is the worst on friday afternoons at the chinese buffett. I can put on a 10 pound weight belt for the weekend just from gouging myself on crab rangoons! Nothin like rangoon weights to make that swoop just a little bit longer... b
  16. I'm budgeting 8 jumps a day for 6 days straight. There is a good chance this won't happen though!!! I like staying up late to party waaay too much and there may be some days where i don't get on the wakeup load till 10 or 11am. and you gotta remember - we'll be jumping when the days are the shortest of the year. last load is up sometime before 5pm. but that just means the beer light comes on earlier too so i'll just deal with it! b
  17. LOL sounds like a plan...and i haven't been to the strip clubs in KC *yet*, so i guess that would mean i'd have to buy beer for that one! anyhow i called a friend of mine who had back surgery a couple weeks ago. needless to say, he isn't going anywhere so we split a case and watched a couple movies. i'll give ya more advance warning next time i need a drinking buddy! b
  18. that's what i'm thinking of doing...i called around to see if anyone wanted to hit the bar, but nooo, they are all LOSERS! i need to meet some more non-married people around here! b
  19. hey chip, i jump mostly in iowa but will whore myself out to any turbine in the midwest! don't know what the chances of you making it out here are, but hell, i've ended up in VA so stranger things have and will happen... lots of prodigys to go around here if you'd need one. grab it or wear it! b
  20. 2 (ratings picked up) : 7 : lots Went to a coach/SL-I course at Quad Cities Skydiving Center in Illinois. It rocked! So much hard work, but so much fun too!
  21. LOL how fun would that be to have it parked in the middle of the DZ trailer park! b
  22. Ahh it would be fun but i'm thinking i need to put a hold on the traveling for a bit after Eloy! Right now i'm getting ready for a 5.3 bizarre sort of cross country/obstacle run the weekend before thanksgiving. Just doing laps around a nearby lake on rainly days to get used to crappy terrain! check it out here to read about the obstacles... http://www.fitnesssports.com/November_races/LivHistFarms/lhf_index.html moo! b
  23. Ahh yes, that's our CReW prayer! Often proceeded by our safety briefing - "DON'T DIE!" Otherwise on the way up i like to snooze, bullshit with the pilot, administer wet willies, read magazines (yes you guessed it...cessnas!) or else just make silly faces at the guy in the back of the plane. It does suck, but the trip really isn't all that bad! b
  24. LOL excellent...i will see how many times i can use it in sentences next weekend once the beer light comes on! (or till someone beats me upside the head!) "You see, [insert someone's name here], "levelidity" is a very complicated subject. Difficult to understand, and even harder to accomplish. If you're a natural, like me, "levelidity" will help you blah blah blah...." b
