  1. My man, you are going to dig it! It's a boogie with a purpose! Everybody goes to bed early after making sure they are properly hydrated, and pretty much everybody eats well and behaves. Having been at Perris the last couple years, I'm looking forward to Eloy. Besides the lovely Betsy, they have great fresh food, a clean pool, and smooth as a pool table landing areas. Good food, a couple of beers, the best landing areas in my experience and Betsy Barnhouse. That is simply as good as it gets. +Burke. Gotta love the Burke.
  2. Ach. I think you are in a bind just because of your location. Even here in Northern California we only have a couple of serious teams. I doubt you'd fly out to San Diego to be coached by my team members, but there's plenty of very qualified people in Europe. Coaching doesn't cost money, it SAVES money. Iron out the tunnel stuff and then find a nice Otter to jump out of. JP
  3. Last bit. I was so very proud to have been on Shannon's memorial page. If I ever have to get one, make sure she's on mine. Edit: Her and Matthias in his speedo wearing his Bolle's.
  4. Janky, you crack me up. I'm sure she would have appreciated inheriting a "facial massager". I think that's how they used to advertise them in the old Sear's catalogue. I miss Shannon a ton. Just about every day. She always had an encouraging feeling to share and a dead-eye-contact-kiss-on-the-lips. Argh. So, out of the apparently 6300 pictures over 1MB, here's some of Shannon people might not have seen.
  5. Tony Hathaway has a great shot of me and a zillion other people bailing out of the back of a CASA on the 121 way sequential record. It was in either parachutist or Skydiving. PM him, Tony is the shizzle.
  6. I will sell you my 10D body for $500. Lemme know.
  7. A couple years ago. I'm fatter now. For now.
  8. You know, I feel as blessed as anyone yet Bob to have know Shannon. We spent a couple hours on the beacon at Eloy and in the DC-3 just talking. The only person besides my wife that I enjoy fixing the world's problems with is AmyVon. Shannon was truly beautiful. And missed. I was glad to be on the top left of the page with Iwan, who I know loved her too. JP
  9. Aren't you Major America yet?
  10. I think to be maidens they have to be virgins or something. Those ones are all over a Bill Gate's house. Looks like great fun! Andy! Get me one of them hats. I got something you want as bad.
  11. Still in Bonfire? Cool! No shit, I thought the clip was flattering! I love that whole superpower thing. Thank god I'm not the Prez, it would be all about "I SAID shut the f*ck up!" BLAMMO! Wanna know a wierd little fact? The Soviets (look it up, youngins) did not really take Reagan seriously until:' 1. The star wars stuff 2. The neato "try to hit the train with the nukes on it" plan 3. He layed off all the Air Traffic Controllers. It was number 3. WHATEVAH!
  12. I think I had a post in this that got deleted in the other forum. Where is the high performance landing area, where do they set up, and where else can I land. Generally, high performance landings require extreme attention to altitude and placement over the swoop target. I, as traffic, end up less important than that. Hardcore swoopers are exceptionally hedonistic about their set ups and swoops and get astoundingly pissed when they have to abort due to a less attentive lander, or just some egotistical bastard who cuts them off. I try to avoid it. I'd like to have every dropzone have a separate area for HP landings, and even a separate waiver for the additional risks they accumulate by choosing to participate in *70's to final.
  13. When I do 4 way at nationals I run two identical PC120's. the cameye foe each is right in front of the cam on the top plate. When I"ve done side mounts I've hit them on accident. I like the dope mount right in front of the controlled cameera. Edit: Clearly at some point I've forgotten both spelling and grammar. Or the battery in my wireless keyboard has gone haywire.

  15. Racist pig! Hey Carl, ask Mar who she has lined up for the tunnel. I dont want a lot of minutes, just a couple to check out how your little fan compares to Eloy's so as long as I still have 5 minutes left, I'll share! What the hell is the "Canadian Race" a bunch of knuckleheads who moved to the states and can't agree on the spelling of "touque". You get forgiven a lot because your wife is pretty and congenial. You, however, are FRENCH. You would have been much better genetic material if you were a mongrel like me. "Canadian race" HA! "Good day, eh, welcome to the great white north. Today our special guest is Remi, who doesn't live in Canada anymore. So, Remi, how's it goin' eh?"
  16. Dude, what in the heck did you do? I get ripped a lot for my Catholicism, but just saying "I did something I regret, forgive me" is not enough. What did you do that you are so conflicted about? In my case it might be "I performed a contract killing on a pedophile who deserved it, but I still feel bad about the whole murder thing, I'm really sorry". I'd do a couple rosaries and prayers, and if I was truly contrite I'd be forgiven. To heal yourself, you must acknowledge whatever you did, honestly be sorry (contrite) and perform an act of contrition. I know all-y'all think this is crazy mideavel nonsense, but it does tend to work. What did you do, are you sorry, why are you sorry?
  17. Somebody PM me if I show up.
  18. Dude, it won't let me log on.
  19. I was surprised it wasn't "your" Mathias. If she's stable under meds, take her. You have to be prepared to do combat with every single tandem you take out. They are COMPLETELY unpredictable. A normally stable person can have an event due to the stress of the tandem jump. I'd suggest having the suspicious tandem never release the harness to opening, with some sort of reinforcement about keeping the hands on the harness. Landing would be the other challenge, and if you are taller than she is, you can adjust the harness to your advantage. But if your "little voice" says don't go, DO NOT GO.
  20. Negative. There would be forward movement on the intake. If it looks like somebody licking a window, there will be laughter.
  21. It really depends on the total value of your compensation package. If you've got great health benefits, dental and orthodontic, some fearsome 401K donation match, then if your employer's cost of your benefit package went up 10% and you just got a 2% raise, that's not so bad. Sorry, I did personnel (see I can spell it right) for a while. The way things are currently going with health care costs, folks that can keep their current benefits and their current wages aren't doing too bad. Of course if you can eat shit as a cop for 13 years, break your feet and be forcibly retired, you will get a tax free retirement and a COLA forever and health care forever too. And your spouse gets all that when you die. Yeah! Die! But then again you have to beat people up a lot and get spit on. On the plus side you get to blow up cars and meet interesting people with amazing names.
  22. If it is possible for fellatio to be performed without any back and forth movement of the head at all, the penis is laughably small. If the first thought when seen is "pacifier" that would be what the FBI would call a clue.
  23. It's a Walter Brend custom automatic. It was mostly legal (depending on who you talked to) for me to carry when I was in uniform, I haven't had it out in ages. I suspect it's pretty collectable, since I can't find any info on it.
  24. Quick, what's this one, why is it special, and any idea what it's worth?
