  1. Thanks! That tree is BEFORE i put on the extra 600.. ( the top part wasnt as lit as i wanted!) "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  2. I live alone too, yet i did my lights... After completing them, I realized I was the only one who would ever see them.. Well..Only the inside.. All the neighborhood kids can see the outside ones.. But do what makes you happy. I enjoyed putting up the ones outside, because it gave me a challange. I have never done it before, and went full steam ahead.. Here are some pics from the house and the tree.. Oh.. BTW, I did the house and tree all bymyself!!!! The house i did in one day. Bymyself.. While it was raning off and on, sprinkiling most of the day.
  3. First or second one? There was only one story? And about the pulling ( what yall call high).. Its kind of the norm at my DZ for newer people to pull at 4,000. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  4. cause im still new. I havent had a malfunction yet, and want to make sure if I do I have plenty of time.... And why pull lower than 3500? I enjoy being under canopy "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  5. on my last jump i was thinking about it.. and even 3 grand is low for me.. The lowest I have pulled is 4 grand, or maybe 3,800 on a hop and pop.... I was trained under a VERY safety minded instructor who KNOWS I wouldnt do something stupid like pull low. He trained me better... Just FYI. "In this game you can't predict the future.

  6. No i didnt really do that. I have NEVER pulled below 3 grand. Was just a little story I was thinking about on the way to altitude. daaaaaaaang "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  7. As I fall towards the ground all worry, pain, sadness, and anxiety escapes my mind. Everything this past week that has been keeping me down is now gone in the wind rushing by. I look at my altimeter, 8,000 feet... still 4,000 more to go.. I relax and plument into the abyss, enjoying the serinty of it all. 6,000 feet.. The need for more speed is to much. Close in and arch harder.. I can feel the wind rushing faster around me. Theres no telling what will happen next... Just fell past 4,000... But cant bring my self to pull... I enjoy it to much... Look again.. 3,500... getting closer.. Oh this is new.. My adrenaline starts pumping as the ground closes in..3,000 did i turn on my cypress this morning? blowing past my harddeck of 2,500 gripping fears starts to rush like lighting through my viens. 2,000. Way past my experience level.. But i want it, i crave it.. The rush is feeling me with ecstasy.. 1,500 will i beat the cyprus? 1,400... PULL!!! A very beautiful snivel, and everything goes quite... Its like it never happened.. except my heart is still racing. My blood is still coursing through my veins like wild rapids. My breathing hasnt even begun to slow... Slam the toggles down for a hard flare.. She is so beautiful. I knew she would respond. Look around.. At 900 feet.. Hard turn left. Spiraling down towards the earth. A different, yet amazing feeling, comes back to me. Clsoing in on 500 feet... Base leg of patter should have already been started... Closing in at 300 feet, and on final... 200 feet ->100, seems like a mere second.. Theres the target.. Ill make the mark.. Coming in. 20 feet. 15 feet, toggles to shoulders for stage 1.. Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.. And tiptoe to the ground and walk her out.. The amazing mixture of blue and black crash to the groung as the canopy collapses. Stow the toggles, time to pack... What a day at the DZ

  18. This is video footage from a refinery explosion in Utah that happened recently. This is a DDU…. ( I work on a DDU)…. Assuming its anything like my unit, ( may be smaller, as we are really big) it has 800 PSI Hydrogen running through her!! Video: Gas explosion rips through Utah oil refinery Footage has been released of the moment a huge gas explosion tore through an oil plant in the United States. The blast at the Silver Eagle Refinery in Woods Cross, five miles north of Salt Lake City, was powerful enough to cause damage to 10 homes adjacent to the factory. No one was injured in the incident. The US Chemical Safety Board (CBS) is still investigating the explosion although early reports indicate that the blast started in the diesel hydrotreater, a unit that removes sulphur compounds from diesel fuel. The blast occurred at about 9.15am when the hydrogen and diesel leaking from a pipe found an ignition source on the ground. The CBS, which is an investigative agency that has no regulatory power, said increasing concerns about the integrity of the refinery's piping led it to recommend that the refinery's refining operations be shut down for an indefinite period. In January there was a flash fire when a 440,000 gallon storage tank caught light at the same refinery that burned for 11 hours severely burning people. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6598001/Video-Gas-explosion-rips-through-Utah-oil-refinery.html "In this game you can't predict the future.
