  1. This doesn't even rise to the level of being a myth. There is no such ridiculously inhuman ethic followed by BASE jumpers. Period. Not a slam against you, Chuck. You are only reporting what you see and hear. The news people are absolutely dead wrong on this. Enough said. Walt _______________________________________ I was hoping you'd see my post, Walt. I really appreciate your setting the record straight. How would the news get such a thing to say, anyhow? Chuck Since when did the news base their facts on a true story..No pun intended _______________________________ I hear ya'! Preach on it, my brother! Chuck
  2. I apologise, Rhonda. 'I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers'. Chuck

  4. ___________________________________ Yessir! I've assisted in repairing several rectal as well as vaginal prolapse cattle, over the years. Cows, can prolapse by simply lying down. I've seen cattle with both type at the same time. Chuck
  5. Awareness is good, but given that the police are involved and that this situation is now receiving media coverage, it may be that amateur involvement is overkill. On the other hand, if anyone knows the other two people involved, that information would probably be most helpful. rl __________________________________________ This can be taken for what it's worth. Our local news, has been running a story about this situation and they continually make reference to the B.A.S.E. jumpers 'code of ethics', to 'not tell where a body is in the case of a death as a result of a B.A.S.E. jump'. To me, this is wrong. The family of this man needs to and has a right to know, where their son is. Dead or alive, they have a right to know. Witholding information is wrong, especially when worried parents are involved. It's too bad if, there may be a fine for trespassing. Whoever has information in regard to this matter, should do the right thing and step-up. Even if, it is done 'anonymously'. JMO Chuck
  6. Two words: Body position. Chuck
  7. Looks like he prolapsed! Yuuuuck! Chuck
  8. Seems as though, since U.S. Repeating arms took-over Winchester, the company has gone down hill. The quality of the product mostly. Another sad moment in history. The Winchester won the West... now, Japan. Chuck

    Nah, don't worry about mine. Billy Vance's attachments are to be truly feared, though. Walt ______________________________________ I knew better but, I opened it and as bad as it was... nothing like Billy Vance would post! you are right, there! It was still wrong, Walt! Chuck
  10. I've been saying this for years ! ____________________________________ The man who taught me rigging, wore an old baloon suit from the 70's. He wore it till he retired from skydiving in the mid-90's. He could stay-up with anyone in the sky. Mainly, in his own words; "I'm too cheap to buy a new jumpsuit!" He told me that if you know how to fly your body, a jumpsuit really, doesn't make a difference. I know, I just opened a can of worms here but, the man made a point. Chuck
  11. ____________________________________ Hershey, Pennsylvania is the only chocolate city I know of.
  12. _______________________________________ I saw that episode! I haven't laughed that hard in a good while! Thanks, for reminding me of it. Chuck
  13. ________________________________________ Depends on your definition of 'love' of Nature's creations. Let's get an experts opinion... WALT??? ((((ducks and runs!)))) Chuck I will defer to the real expert, airtwardo, on this one. Walt _________________________________ Ah-haaa... the GREAT Airtwardo! I shoulda' known... Chuck
  14. One thing about it... it'll grow back. In the mean-time... your poor kid! Chuck

  16. That's good! At this point, it's best left to law enforcement. You're right on the mark about too many, messing up any evidence, tracks or whatever. Anyone with any information, should get it to the police. My prayers are with his family. Chuck
  17. But right on the mark, I must say.
  18. ______________________________________ No. I said, I 'thought' you looked taller in your avatar. I am not in a position to make the 'call' seeing as how, we've never met in person. I actually, envisin you as being on the taller side and quite 'shapely' and extremely attractive. That's the best suck-up job I can do. Chuck
  19. _______________________________________ When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, no. You do not 'need' a jumpsuit to make a skydive. It's when you enter in to one of the various disciplines of the sport that, a jumpsuit becomes necessary. I'm going to avoid getting into the whole aerodynamics thing but, I'm just keeping it 'basic'. Hope, this helps. Chuck
  20. ___________________________________ I don't think she's 'evil', as you might suggest. RL is cool! She tells it like it is! Chuck I however see that you agree with my thesis that she is trapped in a body of a circus midget! ______________________________________________ That's prejudicial in regard to those 'vertically challenged'! She looks so much taller by her avatar!? Now, you got me wondering. Chuck
  21. _______________________________________ I just about busted a gut reading that! Chuck
  22. I've seen one or two, over the years. The gray, Dickies 'coveralls' with hand-sewn grippers on them. They worked, till the person could save the money for a 'real' jumpsuit. Note" Be sure, to remove the 'hammer loop' from the leg! Chuck
