So why be such a dick about it? I was morbidly obese a few years ago. Now I'm healthy. I'm hungry all the time. I force protein so I don't have room for Oreos, except very infrequently. At Perris, I'm sitting with Loudiamond, B-squared, and McGowan. Somehow the discussion starts about why fat folks should pay extra to be fat on airlines. LouD remembers I was one of those folks most of my life and says something acknowledging that. I distinctly remember people rolling their eyes as I came down the aisle. Hey, whatever. I had to lose the weight so I could be a participant in my kids lives, and when I broke my feet I could barely move around. IT'S A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. If you've been blessed with a great metabolism, I'm happy for you, but just like any other kind of wealth, don't be a dick about it.

Well, I really like it long. My short-haired sisters, forgive me, but short hair is often the sign of exasperation. "Just no time to f*ck with long hair!" "Must pick up kids, do laundry, drive, drive, drive!" Often times that is true. Especially for single moms. But something about yourself that you lavish some time on is really attractive. Be it your hair or whatever. (Skin, nails, smile, etc.) Loving yourself is the most attractive thing about you, whoever you may be. Donating that beautiful hair to a child would be even more beautiful, and surely that beauty would shine like a beacon, even if you had a bob-job. Your hair is beautiful, Lew, but donating it would be a supreme act of beauty.

Homie done called me on up out my name. I haven't even gotten to screen grabs. Plus a nice one of LadySkyDiver and Andrea wondering if this is such a good idea.....

Next time! And Luis? I want you to wear the Battleship and track after me next time.

I actually got X rayed again this afternoon. It's just not the same without you videoing the event! Ankle is all healed up, they gave me this weird brace to wear in my shoe, and told me I could walk on it. Gosh, I only got about 40 jumps on it when it was broke. The summer is looking up!

Just like nobody'd ever see you flying on your belly? Dudelio, don't make me....
-
Dude, he was only like three feet from you!? ChopChop, don't you remember? You're a partying fiend Luis, can't wait to get it on again. I gotta get my head-down squared away, and get at least ten good GTi jumps in before the Holiday Boogie. You, amigo, need to get a bumpersuit

I get some contract paperwork back from the lawyers and it says that there's copies on the floppy in "rtf" format. I start laughing cause all I can think about is Scooby-doo saying "rut the f*ck?" (What the F*ck, format.) I didn't know Scooby had his own platform. Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.. Thank god it's a short week.

Well, he managed to hang on to me on a jump I attempted later, and BigBen fell off. I grab the ceiling bar, do a pull-up and plant my feet on the underside of the bar, hanging upside-down in the plane, Tallguy and Bigben grab my harness and pull me back to the rear of the door. I shout "ready, set" and Bigben falls off and Tallguy follows. The Van is roaring in laughter and I drop off the bar and dive out. We ended up turning a few points, but geez that was funny.

Best over the counter PC notebook computer for Premiere?
Deuce replied to Deuce's topic in Photography and Video
OK, not some broadcast unit, but which notebook by Dell, Sony, Gateway, IBM, etc. is best equipped to do Premiere editing? I know Macs rock, and I agree, but I work in PC land so that's my platform. Thanks. JP -
I don't know, but everytime he tried, he corked!

I was camera on a 16 way out of the Skyvan this past weekend. A jumper in student gear comes sprinting out onto the loading area and doesn't have any of her shit together. Still putting her helmet on, chest strap undone, leg straps not stowed, just about everything. So with the engines running (roaring), and my jaw clamped into my Batrack I give her the stop sign, the relax sign, and do a thorough gear check. I start by pointing at her undone chest strap ("Oh, shit" she says) and had her route it, stow her leg straps and then I checked the rest. Fuck losing the jump ticket! Would you put three rounds in a revolver and do the Russian roulette thing for $18? Many thanks to that Roger Ponce load for not yelling while I held them up. Veteren skydivers never seem to get wound about safety checks causing some delays. Keith Wyatt taught me that. But don't come out of the hangar until you're ready to skydive.

You went to Byron? What, Monday? And don't forget I got those incriminating (AHEM!) photos of you! Bumpers, baby, bumpers!

I've got "Zodiac Killer" handwriting, so I have to be able to type well....

Has anybody been making money in skydiving? Making a little of it back is a great excuse to do it more! My home DZ pays $35 for video and stills, my mini DV tape, but their editing. A nearby DZ pays $35 for video and stills, but charges $5 for editing if I don't do it myself.
-
Ah, yes! Look at the flat belly and huge testicles on that hanging camera flier! Must go to bed. Been printing pictures for my friend Sandi who's out of ICU. Will see her tomorrow. Nite all. GET IN MY BELLY!
-
Yeah, you gotta have a serious set hanging to wear a suit like that! Whoo-shah!
-
No shit. Friday night she was all gussied-up and had the Skymama-navel exposed. Even the Canon 10D cannot compensate for an operator with beer-poisoning, though. No good pictures. I like the while-skydiving pictures best anyhow.
-
To watch it, one must look up. They are found in trees at dropzones everywhere!

Hi Gia, I'm the Northern Cal version of JP, the SoCal version has 1500 more jumps, but he's weird. Get your AFF the first week you're back in Raeford, you can do it! Then come out to Eloy for the Holiday DZ.Eloy nignoggery. I just got through a 22-jump weekend with a group of these knuckleheads, and it's great fun. Put all that deployment cash on your A-license and then a nice used rig. Oh, and beware skymonkeys!
-
Yes, an excellent flier! Thanks!

Girl and BoyFallDown
-
Yes. There is never too much girl-ass falling out of rafts We can do that in Elly (Edit: Uh, I mean EEEE-Loy) this Christmas, but it will be cold as hell in shorts GirlFallDown? OK, here's a couple more. Shoulda got one of you in the bikini top, maybe I've got a screen grab off my video......
-
OK, but you asked for it. N really all that SFW Funny, though. I'm saving one of them to coerce Q into giving me some FF coach jumps Poor Aviatrix,
-
Next time, Q! Wait till you see SoJP's pictures. He got like three raft jumps, and was really close with the 550EX getting fill-flash. Being around the heavy-hitters in photo-video really puts the performance pressure on. But what fun subject matter!
