  1. Mom! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  2. Yea! More inflated American Ego! Great...........We should concentrate on the ISS and perfect shuttle flights-and we can study Mars remotely............People here on earth have needs! Waste of money, besides, GWB father said the same damn political crap 10 years ago! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  3. It kinda looks like Noel Redding-bass player for Jimi Hedrix "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  4. She has a rather large Ms. Brown Eye......wonder what thats all about? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  5. it is not always so easy to judge light out in the desert!
  6. Thanks for my first tandem, that was a most remarkable day for me(!) and 1 student jump! Well, since your never going to skydive again, you will never have a chance to "entertain" Mercedes under the blanket while riding to altitude in the Cessna ever again either!.....
  7. I don't know. If the company knew about the flaw before the crash and did nothing, then yes I would sue. I don't know if I could find that out to help me decide. If they didn't know then I don;t know what I would do. I imagine that laying in a hosipital bed, severly injured, would influence my deciscion. Derek Right! See my post about teeth painting! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  8. Bottom Line in reality......................Since the plane crash all you can do is paint a not so pretty picture with your teeth..........But the only thing you CAN do, is to sue, and hopefully retain enough money to get yourself into a nicer, upscale nursing home and maybe give some money to your family so they may live better
  9. yep! see my post^ "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  10. Well, if a person were driving down the highway in a brand new car(of new or old design), and suddenly the car rips in half into two pieces........yes, of course, sue. No different with a plane, especially with todays testing technology-even before the plane leaves the CAD computer(notice I did not say the drafting table!). Manufacturers must take a minimum responsibility in respect to delivering safe products to the public regardless of the interest.
  11. I quit watching TV 10 years ago and NOVA is one of the only shows I miss.....and you are bored! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  12. After seeing the pics from the link above, I remembered the smoke jumper who gave us the tour saying something to the affect of BLM smoke jumpers use square chutes and NFS jumpers use round......just a added detail!
  13. Mercedes and I met a few smoke jumpers last year at a bar in Mcall Idaho and they invited us to tour their base and it was much fun. These guys are pretty tough! They had pictures on the walls of jumpers at the door and ALL the trees where on fire! We got to try on a jump suit and complete rig....and I thought my rig was big! They were jumping custom made rounds with about 100lbs of gear. They also have to pack that stuff out sometimes up to 10 or 15 miles!
  14. No, not really......He was born in Floydada, Texas and raised in Portland, Texas......but moved around in his late teens. Floydadda, what a nasty place! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  15. QuoteHe looks pissed Exactly what I was thinking! Did it crap in your bed or anthing such as that to get back at you? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  16. Merl Haggard kicks ass! How about Don Williams?
  17. Well, they are from Oklahoma.......Ever been to Oklahoma? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  18. QuoteI miss you guys too Scottie and Tammy.. And those Garlic Torteas.. Umm Good!! How could I have forgotten about those Garlic Torts!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  19. Great Pics! Mary X-mas! Miss the good ole days at Spaceland! Jeff and Mercedes.............I thought Scotty had lost some weight? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  20. oh man, that pup is getting to me!
  21. I would do anything to go back in time and give up all the fun I had in HS to actually learn what I was supposed to have learned and join the ranks of the Geek.........I am sure paying for it now! And I would be in band too! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  22. Ozzy-no more tours tour....87 or 88. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
