  1. NEVER pet a burning dog. DON'T whiz on the electric fence. TRY NOT to think about penguins. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude ---
  2. I absolutely love Warren Zevons music, and watching Kid Rock on Soundstage, or Behind the Music talking about All Summer Long, he paid great homage to Zevon. I ws actually very impressed with Kid Rocks explanations of his songs, and the inspiration behind them. He was very well spoken, and likable. I am now a fan!

  3. Welcome the the fun! I just completed AFF (total of 16 jumps so far) and am in love with this sport. Du to the fabulous weather here (I live in Eden Prairie) I went to Skydive the Farm in Georgia, but I am so looking forward to jumping locally! I have heard really nice things about Wissota, and as soon as things start to thaw, I will cruise out there! Blue Skies! Let me know if I can answer any questions!

  4. I have been in Consumer Electronics for just over 30 years! (Yikes!) 13 with Circuit City (RIP) 2 w/ a Start-up Mobile Phone / Car Fi company in So Cal (6 stores) 15 with Best Buy.

  6. Damn that looks like fun! Where does one go to find out about such shenanigans? I live in the Twin Cities! Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude ---
  7. Thanks very much, that is the same rifle. Gander has it clearanced at $1699. I appreciate it! Now I have to hope I eventually get my DPMS SDM-R I ordered in March. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude ---
  8. Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with a Performance Center variant of the Smith & Wesson AR-15? I saw one today on clearance at Gander Mountain and it looks like it could be set up into something pretty nice! 16 stainless (bead blasted) bull barrel, no flash hider. optical sight ready, full floating option up front, skeletonized stock. I didnt get a chance to check out which trigger is on it, but they usually use the JPs, I think. Throw an ACOG on there, and I would think it would be a great rifle for 3-guns or other tactical matches. Normally $2100 reduced to $1600. Thoughts? I have a S&W AR-15 carbine (with an eotech) that has performed flawlessly, and an Armalite AR-10B, for when you really need to 'Reach out and touch something' Thanks!

  12. I would find the number for the fraud department of the back that accepted the check, they are much better able to help you out, rather than the standard folks at the branches, or the regular phone lines. You also may want to go to the branch and talk directly to the manager, and have a conference call with the fraud department while you are in the branch. Good luck!

  17. Thanks all, I had previous knee surgery on my right knee, and the edema specialist thought that may have been the impetus, however, they both were very swollen after jumping. I have my compression stockings on now (SEXY) and they are getting much better, but I am seeing my Doc Tuesday. Thanks! :) Blue Skies!

  18. That actually is a cell service issue, try turning off hte phone pulling the battery for about 2 min, call and leave yourself a msg, then put the battery back in. Should be good to go, I have the 8830WE on Sprint, and this happens every now and then. Rare, though.

  19. Hey! I just noticed your avatar! How far are you from S. Portland? Can you swing a crowbar while screaming: "You see what happens, Larry? Do you see what happens when you f*** a stranger in the ass?"

  20. That would be pretty nice, then you do an overlay of a map / photo of the drop zone with GPS coordinates... If I had my IT guys do it, it would be approx $1.2 million and take 7 months. Or some smart kid with excel will figure it out tomorrow. I will give it some thought and let you know what I can come up with.

  23. Thanks! You do realize that where there is a will, there is a way, and if you do figure it out, please, use a different plane than I am on, just in case. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude ---

  25. Does anyone know if skydiving can / does agrevate edema? I have edema on my right leg, and I just made my first 16 sky dives, and both of my legs were really really swollen. I am making an appt w/ my doc, but figured someone here may have some insight. (I searched but couldn't find anything) thanks!
