  1. Well I've been a manager of an office for a good 3 years now. This was just one of those things I needed. I was winging it and doing ok but...I really needed it to be a better manager. And my employer offered to pay sooooooo who was I to say no. I had my hopes up of meeting new and exciting women since the divorce occured the week before I started class......but......no. 7 dudes, 7 chicks.....who all have rug rats or little kids and can't seem to stop talking about them. But I think I will do okish. I went to school for mechanical engineering for my BS I have a six sigma green belt and black belt, two patents thus far and a good 10 years experience so I think I may be ok....but who knows?

  2. Ah forget about it just googed and read up. Yeah it looks like a great way to improve your skills but....eh...that walking up the hill crap.

  3. Ground launching. My parents live in upstate NY, about an hour north of Albany. And if you are familiar with that region their ski season is usually a few months long due to the total lack of natural snow. It's actually too cold to snow! So their season is usually done in April. Now here is the questions. 1) Can you ground launch a 210 Triathlon? 2) Is it a good skill to have? 3) Where is a good place to look for info on the subject? -my bad wrong spot to post it!

  5. As a dude in his early 30's who is single and who works in an facility full of engineering dudes and.....I have no idea if some of these chicks are really odd looking dudes or some realy ugly chicks....visiting a univesity makes me want to go back! This masters program I'm in has been a total waste in terms of quality or quantity of single women. I would say a solid 60% are married and have little kids and another 35% are married. So it's just like engineering school. 40 guy to one girl! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  6. You know...that's not a bad idea! The only problem is the next day. You know some dork is going to forget their food and so when the turbine starts up....there goes the hot dogs!

  7. You know....I know what's going to happen! Everyone at the DZ will be running towards the turbines at the end of the day to bake potatoes and cook their food!
  8. CCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP! OK I'm going back in the late spring so.....who knows!
  9. I'm going to give it a shot this spring when the weather warms up a little bit. I don't think I'll have the room for a full lunch, but a few hotdogs would be nice. Now if I could only figure out how to make hot water for tea! Now that would be proper!

  10. I was helping one of my neighbors assemble some furniture this past Sunday and she was interested in my bike and how far I ride etc etc and the usual question about getting hot in the leather jacket. I indicated as I always to better off hot than skinned and that the only time it gets too hot is when you are stuck at a stop light for far too long. And she had a really dumb yet kind of smart question......she had seen some TV show where some guy was cooking using the engine of his car. He would wrap i guess potatoes and chicken in foil and stick it under the hood and go for a ride and when he got to where he wanted to be he would have a hot lunch. Now what a smart idea for the early spring or late fall rides! Ride 200 miles, pull over to a nice spot and enjoy a warm meal? Has any one ever done this before? Well maybe not a bike, but still not a bad idea! http://www.wisebread.com/cooking-great-meals-with-your-car-engine-the-heat-is-on Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  11. When I visited the Sky Venture tunnel in Montreal on a Friday at 2pm I was amazed at two things. 1) That my friends and I had to wait in line to get our flight time in and 2) That half the building was still being cleaned up from construction! I spoke to one of the people, not sure if he was the manager or investor but he indicated that due to the demand they opened up sooner than expected and that they expected to be in the black much sooner. And seeing the TWO bachloret parties that were ahead of us each of which had about 10 girls in their group I could see why!

  13. A friend shot me this link and I thought, no way is this a real book.....but turns out it is! And then it hit me, WHY DIDN'T ANY GUY THINK OF THIS! I mean talk about an instant #1 hit! http://www.womensinfidelity.com/I can't help but think if a dude were to have written this book Opera, once she was done binging oh moon pies and lard, would have gone after the author like a + sized woman chasing down the last Twinky on earth! It would have hit #1 in about half a day! WHY DIDN'T I WRITE THIS! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

    Air travel sux

    People are bring on bigger and bigger bags. It's getting kind of dangerous if you ask me! I saw this one old lady and her "carry on" was as big as she was. And when I sent to help her put it on the overhead bing....holy mother of god! The thing had to be 60freaking lbs!

    Suicide...

    I'll give you a great example why I prefer to spend my Sunday with my friends at DZ rather than with my work or other friends who are my age married with 2.5 kids. As it's known I have a very good idea as to what I am looking for in terms of partner. And being 34 and working where I work and living where I live with the schedule I have finding what I'm looking for in a partner has proven to be very difficult and very depressing. No one wants to "feel" that the best they could ever find was in the past and there isn't much hope for the future. Match that up with the usual hell of going through a divorce and well a guy can really get down. Now say I get invited to a my 2.5kids married friends house for lunch on a sunday, 4 hours of "You know Shah you are too picky! Sure you are furthering your education and working hard to stay in shape but really you should lower your standards....." Now who wants to hear that? I already feel as if my self worth is a little less than dog crap and here I get this. Now my DZ friends, I get the opposite. I will never forget one of the guys in passing and I'm sure he doesn't even remember it once said "You have to find someone who you want to wake up next to for the rest of your life..." Now why would I have lunch with two snot nose kids, a wife and a friend who because his wife stopped wearing jeans and switched to sweat pants 24/7 I must accept the same? And to think people questioned why I was returning to the sky after I broke my leg? Simple, but those 2.5 kids people just can't see it. Oh well.

    Suicide...

    I'm very new to this sport and to this community. And I recently had some not so nice things happen that really put me in a tail spin from which I am still recovering. That being said, I would have to say if it wasn't for my friends and the environment that exists at the DZ i frequent i would be a real mess. How can I put it? Once you put the DZ BS aside I cant think of a more open and friendly place to go on a Sunday after a long week not only at work but living in my own mind. Even when it's windy and I can't jump. Just sitting in the sun and talking to friends it's great. Furthermore, maybe it's just me and where I go but comparing my friends at the DZ to my friends at say work. I prefer my friends at the DZ. There is a greater sense of respect and understanding, less "Oh get over it" mentality. Maybe I'm just very fortunate and this attitude isn't prevalent in all DZs, but I don't see why it shouldn't be.

  17. They are both bad Karma and you shouldn't do it if you respect your partner. Thus why every guy (sorry now awake) wants to marry a Bi girl, in hopes they can have fun together. It's a though, seldom ever works out or happens. But we can dream! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  18. Yeah. I do my best to not be, but maybe I should try harder? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

  21. I'm a pro choice kind of guy. What ever any one needs to do so that they look as good as they feal is ok with me. Be it working out or other.

  23. It's one of those strange things and a well known fact. A guy can make great money, be perfectly stable and be on his way to a great life. But due to his size finding a life partner may be an issue. It's funny when I first became single I tried one of those dating sights, and I had a bit of fun to see what the world was like. I "adjusted" my pay into the $200k's and got a few emails. But then I brought my pay significantly lower than what I make but increased my height to 6ft+......a flood of email! We can argue that a woman can "get in shape" and do well on the market. But what is your friends kid going to do?
