  1. I figure he's multi-talented...plays pitcher AND catcher. _____________________________________ I think, you're right! I heard, Tom played football at one time. He was playing center. The QB, was a big 'bull'. For Tom, it was the longest yard of his life! Chuck
  2. _________________________________________ I figured Tom was gay! Is he the 'Bull' or the 'girl'. Chuck
  3. That's the Billy, we all know and love! Great pics! Chuck
  4. I am not trying to down play anything. A device did not cause a fatality, using the device outside of its design limits caused a fatality. If you pull your reserve at 200 feet and it fails to deploy before impact, did the reserve cause the fatality? No, the fatality was caused by using the reserve outside of its design limits. You pulled too low. In this case the jumper went too fast too low and the devise did just what it was designed to do. Air bags are intended to save lives, but we don't use them on skydive. Why is that? They were not designed for skydiving. Sparky __________________________________ AMEN!!! Chuck
  5. Correction (and addendum to Michael) the cop AND the girlfriend are HOT!!!
  6. Who, me? I'm just being my normal, demented self... except there's no sick-ass pictures this time! Heeeey.... I forgot to take a pic of my shit... drat! ____________________________________ Well! What kinda deal is that? You know how it is on BF... gotta have pictures! Otherwisa, as you know... it didn't happen. Is something bothering you? Not feeling well? With this post, you're waaaaay-off your game. I'm concerned. Chuck

    Happy Ramadan

    I'd start gettin' nervous! Chuck
  8. __________________________________ Great idea! Keeps the grommet from 'sticking'. Chuck
  9. and Two expert - two ways... I use new Stimpson spur grommer inserting die (S7685 from Para-Gear), and tomorrow will try body shop hammer ________________________________________ 2 to 3 hard blows with your mallet works on brass grommets. Brass, is more malleable than Stainless Steel, whish is more 'brittle'. You want to 'coax' Stainless Steel, into shape. That's been my experience. As was mentioned earlier, try a couple practice runs before tackling the 'real' job. Chuck
  10. I use the proper die-setter, (#4-setter for #4 grommets, etc.) a large rubber mallet and use several whacks with the mallet, while turning the part of the setter I'm holding in my left hand. Using one or two harsh blows with the mallet tends to split the 'SS' grommet. I periodically check to see how the grommet looks, after the first 2 - 3 whacks with the mallet, till I get the right 'set'. The die setters are expensive but, it beats the alternative. Chuck Chuck
  11. ___________________________________ As for pleasure and pain, from my own experience, the one thing, I can't say a thing about is politics. Chuck
  12. do I have to ban you from this thread to, jeesh i dont know whose worse you or freeflir .... oh wait nevermind I do lol ________________________________________ Wait, a minute! I have not talked 'women' here, yet. (but, I can) Chuck
  13. ___________________________________________ Ain't that the truth! I've got a herniated disc in my L-4. I started working-out and excersizing. Doc, had me on Celebrex and my last check-up... he took me off it. I was scared to death, I'd go through the pain again. I've been off Celebrex, 6-months. No problems. I also take Glucosomene-500 milligrams with Condroitan - 400 milligrams twice a day as well as Calcium Citrate, twice a day (630 milligrams) total. I've got Arthritis, also. Those two things seem to really help and my doctor told me to continue. You might ask your doctor. I'm not licensed to prescribe medications. It's all, over the counter from any drugstore. Chuck
  14. I gotta agree with Rebecca. (The pins and needles are killin' me!) I've got a feeling, when my puzzle is complete, it's gonna be a hum-dinger!
  15. ______________________________________ Try contacting Sewing Machine Sales of Indiana. They should be able to help you. They are on the net. If, you have any trouble, PM me and I'll dig-out their phone number. Chuck
  16. I've done it and it's a real chore. What you describe, as mentioned, would best be repaired by PD. $300.00 or that neighborhood is a very good price! For example, a friend of mine was involved in a mid-air collision with another jumper. The result, was 2-end cells, a stabaliser and a C-D line. He sent it to PD and they had it back in about 2 - 3 weeks and the cost, including shipping was about $450.00. His parachute, was Saber - 1, 190. If, the parachute you mention is in good to excellent condition, I'd send it to PD. Chuck
  17. And not a tree within sight horizon to horizon! WoooooHooooo! ______________________________________ If, you count the Mesquite tree, we have quite the forest! East Texas and Central Texas have a lot of oak and pine. The Davis Mountains, in far West Texas, have several varieties of pine and oak. We're not all desert, where rattlesnakes carry canteens! Chuck
  18. ____________________________________ The old Alfred Hitchcock directed movies. (edit to add) You named 2-that are great actors! With Shirley McLaine... I never know which Shirly McLaine i'm watching! Chuck
  19. _______________________________________ There were some far better actors/actresses in the 30's and 40's than we have now. I like some of the newer movies... I just like the oder movies better. More was left to the imagination. Those just my thoughts. Chuck
  20. _____________________________________ No, no, no... I wasn't using it to slam liberals or anyone else. Left Wingers have their views and Right wingers have their views. That's what it's all about. I remember the thread, you are referring to. I've got a few, liberal friends. We just don't talk politics... just women!
  21. ...and, that's why you're good at your job. I forget the General's name but, recently he said he loved his job'! The liberals went absolutely nuts. Hey! That is the type General we need at times like this. I don't think i'd want a leader who was all 'flower-power'! Just be safe, man!!! Chuck
  22. ______________________________ Well... Pilgrim... The 'Duke', made some really good movies other than Westerns. 'The Quiet Man'... good flick! i have some cd's of movies he made in the 30's! Good stuff. Chuck
  23. ___________________________________ I really don't mind 'chick flicks'. I've been known to get a little 'chokey' over one. I'm with you! My idea of a romantic movie is, anything with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. There were definate 'undertones' of romance. You see, a lot of folks thought those movies were about the violence. 'Something About Mary', was a real 'chick flick'! Sure, it was funny but, the symbolism, was there! 'Jerry McGuire', still, sucks buttermilk! Chuck
  24. ___________________________________ They coulda' done that in 45-minutes, for cryin' out loud! Chuck
