  1. I went to school at SIU so this is not only a skydive brother but a fellow alumni. Blue Skies Brother and I am sending thoughts to his family and fellow Salukis! Can you hear me now? Good.
  2. You will probably find that a malfunction isn't that bad. It's over with before you know it. Now your daughter going on a first date is like somebody rubber banding your balls like a calfs until they fall off from what I hear. Can you hear me now? Good.
  3. Gordon just got divorced from his hot wife so maybe he is a poop chute packer! Can you hear me now? Good.
  4. I am getting used to a Caravan again after being spoiled with CASA's in Florida. I must say that it is a lot of fun though. A little longer on the ride up but it still gets you up there and that is better than down here!
  5. I heard there was a death and I have some friends there because I jumped there for awhile and I haven't been able to reach anyone. Anybody heard anything? Bad weekend for accidents. Can you hear me now? Good.
  6. With all the pictures and the sharing of experiences it makes me realize that we are all human and not just funny quotes on a screen. I mean we saw what Betsy Barnhouse looks like. It's just not the same anymore. I always thought she was a older gray haired fairy sprinkling pixie dust all over the place and that is so not her!
  7. Whenever I was at Orange Kelly was going to come and see him a couple of times. They were really close friends. I send good vibes his way and wishes for a quick recovery!
  8. See. You all think I am a post whore but I am really a genius like Bill Von! Can you hear me now? Good.
  9. I have this plan see. I am gonna post up to 2002. Then I can't post again until 2003 in which I can only make 1 post because I don't want my posts to exceed the actual year.
  10. Tell the guy the circumstance and let him be the one to make the decision. If they just did it it would be murder. I would probably say no though.
  11. Ok. I think I need a blanket to cover myself on the plane ride. Don't want anything to "pop up" while I think about that on the plane.
  12. Schweet! Gear...packed. Clothes...packed. Lap Top...packed. Camera...packed. Condoms...packed. Anything else you want me to bring? Give me a little hint of what your going to teach me so I can think about it on the plane ride!
  13. Welcome back Dave. Sounds like you all had a hell of a time.
  14. First post by TFelber = BEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
  15. I think Jessie Jackson had something to do with it. What is it called...the NAACP?
  16. If no miracles and no outs kill the one person instead of the 5. Makes sense to me.

    New Job!

    I went to Orange 5 times and never met Prost or MGailler. I did meet Zilla and Kevin922 though. You need to buy that DZ.com T-Shirt so those folks know who you are.
  18. You can join Pammi, JumpingKaus and I in California if you want to!
  19. Jump number 68 on December 24th, 2001 in Lake Wales, Florida. Completed a four way RW tracked away and deployed at 3k. Lines began to twist like crazy from the toggles up to the canopy. The slider did not come down. I began to kick and twist the lines to no luck. I could not control my canopy and I was getting ready to go into a cloud . I looked at my altimeter and I was at around 1800 feet. Grabbed red, grabbed red, pulled red, pulled red. Nice red PD R 160 over my head. I saw my friends following my main and freebag and they brought it to me when I landed. The Riggers at Lake Wales packed my reserve within two hours plus they gave me a demo just like I had so I could get up on the next load. Doesn't beat Spy38W's stories though.
  20. I now have a stable sit and am able to make 360's, etc. I jumped with someone this past weekend and he corked right underneath me. I saw it coming and back tracked out of the way before hand to avoid a collision. It happened so fast I was lucky. Question, what should I do to figure who is safe to jump with and who is not. If it is a rw jump I have enough confidence to jump with people just off student status but with freeflying it is a different story. Being new to a DZ and to freeflying I asked others (instructors) who are a good freefliers but some of the people out there have low jump numbers and think they are safe. Is there anything to ask or to look out for? Thanks, Chrome
  21. What colors and how much would you sell it for?
  22. What exactly did the doctors do for you besides diagnose it and give you medicine?
  23. GrumpySmurf, when you pull your pud it kills kittens.
