I would not recommend building an AK unless you have a friend that is really good at riveting. I used to work at a class 3 shop and tried to build one but we spent most of the time building jigs. I would send it out to an AK builder cause they are much harder to build than one might think. I forget the name of the guy we sent our full auto krink to. I will have to ask my old boss if you really want to build one. It is much easier to buy a completed rifle if you are looking for a semi auto. Cheers Pete

Do any sport skydivers live in Cancun? I just moved down here from San Antonio two weeks ago and I would like to find a couple of kindred spirits down here. I don't habla much yet and I am still trying to adjust to living here. I went over to Skydive Playa but I don´t have enough jumps to sport jump there. I would love to be able to jump somewhere down here. I don´t want to have to go to Texas every time I want to get in the air... Thanks Pete

They are really great. Once you use it for a while the vibes will not bother your teeth anymore. They are the best way to brush your teeth. The Braun version is good too. I bought that one for my girlfriend.

You need to check out Jon Wayne "Texas Funerals"

Use one of these: http://www.thebeerbelly.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1

I was told that those holes are part of the static line set up. My MC-4's have them.

I love my MC-4s although they are a bit of a pain to pack. Petey

Can I have one? Got any left? Thanks

If anyone has one left I would love to have one. Thanks

The Mossberg 500 is a pretty good shotgun. Make sure you get the military version cause the civilian one has a lot of cheap plastic parts. I recommend a Remington 870. Thats what I use as a primary home defense gun. The police models are very nice and relaible and dint have any plastic parts like the Mossberg. They may end up costing you a little more. Get some low recoil #1 buckshot. Good stuff. Pete

That stuff has almost killed me a couple of times. I don't think we should ban it tho. I still use it every day.

Try and get down to Ajijic on lake Chapala. It is about an hour out of Guad and is a great little town. Lots of ex-pat north Americans down there. The last time that I was there we rented a little cabin by the water and partied till dawn. Petey

Did you see this part? http://www.skydivelasvegas.com/experienced_jumpers.html Pete

I have a Benchmade auto too. I think it is the Mel Pardue model. I have a couple of other Benchmades and Spydercos but my favorite is my Spyderco Civilian. Pete

According to what I have heard and read the Garmin ETrex series will only work with Garmin software. If that is not the case then woohoo! I would like to find something that is aimed at 3d tracks and less at street maps. I have the cable that came with the unit and I use it to update the OS. Thanks guys, Pete

i bought a Vista about a year ago and have yet to use it on a jump. I don't have the Mapsourse software yet but would like to know a couple of things. First, do I need to have the Mapsource software to download my skydives? Second, how do you guys mount your GPS so it doesn't come off? I would like to use my GPS for CReW and cross countries. I con't figure out the best way to mount it that would be less prone to snagging for CReW. Thanks and if anybody has a copy of Mapsource I could evaluate I would be eternally grateful. Thanks, Pete

These berries taste like burning. Ralph Wigum

Ditto........... Four left.....

I think that I would take him on a very unsafe bungee jump. He would go first and I would tell the cops that it was a terrible accident and we shouldn't have made the cord out of stuff we got at Home Depot. Petey

How about Fritz. He looks like a Fritz. Pete

Boobies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are great! Pete PS I like the rest too....

A buddy of mine sent me this in an email. It is from the New Yorker Magazine. I KILLED THEM IN NEW HAVEN by LARRY DOYLE Issue of 2003-12-15 Posted 2003-12-08 How you all doing tonight? It’s great to be here at the Loco Lobo, assuming this is Tuesday. You know, I’m a little loco. Kinda crazy, zany guy. You’re looking at one kooky dude. Wacky, nutty, unbalanced, disturbed, incompetent to stand trial: I’ve been called all those things. Anyone here from Chicago? I’m from Chicago. You, sir—you’re from Chicago? You’re not me, are you? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I have a lot of weird thoughts. You ever wonder why, for example, seven times eight is fifty-six? What genius decided that one? I don’t remember voting. Or where socks go when they disappear from dryers? Is it the Pentagon? I think you know it is. Anybody else here watch TV? Me, I watch a lot of TV. A lot of TV. Because, you know, when you’re not watching it, it can watch you. So I watch TV pretty much all the time. Have you seen this “Gilligan’s Island”? Seven stranded castaways in a desert-island paradise? What is up with that? All I know is if I was Gilligan and it was my island I’d sure as shit be fucking that Ginger. Am I right? And Mary Ann. And the rest. I’d be lying naked in my hammock with those two gals and Mrs. Howell and the Professor, and drinking sweet, sweet coconut juice out of the Skipper’s skull. Am I right? Hey, remember that lady who’d fallen and couldn’t get up? I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. You know why she can’t get up, don’t you? Because they control the gravity and she found out. You can bet I’d be having sex with her, too. Travel a lot in this job. Gotta keep moving, or you get pulled into the earth by trolls. What is their problem? So I fly a lot, on planes mostly. Airline food: now, what demented individual came up with this item? I mean, who eats chicken? What if the chickens found out? They would not be happy. Can’t get a decent knife on an airplane anymore. It’s all plastic now. Like, what? I’m going to stab and stab and stab the passenger sitting next to me? And how do they know what you’re thinking? Here’s a hint: don’t eat the peanuts. They’ve got a lot of crazy laws in this country. Screwy laws. Like in Tennessee it’s illegal to stand in the middle of the street, even if you’ve been instructed to do so. And in Maine it’s against the law to spit on babies. Pretty babies, ugly babies, it doesn’t matter. Crazy. They’ll arrest you for anything. Am I the only one here planning on shooting the President? Show of hands: who’s with me? That’s right, best keep it to yourself. They can trace your e-mails now, using DNA that the keys on the keyboard extract from your fingertips. I can’t believe I invented that technology and then they go and use it against me. Totally nuts. I’m going to cry for a little bit now. Could we turn off the mike and take the lights down? Great. I’m done! How are those margaritas treating you? Strange name, margarita. Means “little Margaret.” The funny thing is, she tastes nothing like that. It’s just insane. Can I have a sip of yours? Thanks. Delicious. I hope you don’t mind; I have every kind of cancer. Including a couple of new ones the N.I.H. just disseminated. I’m a little neurotic when it comes to food. I won’t eat anything orange. The color doesn’t actually exist, which should be a tipoff. I also won’t eat possum, because you can never tell if it’s really dead. And when I kill and eat my enemies, who are legion, I forgo the eyeballs, because I don’t want them checking out my insides and reporting back to you know who. Well, that flashing light means that either Jesus has come for me as promised or my time is up. So, good night! And don’t forget to tip your waitresses, especially that one over there: she’s in love with me.

That was one of my wifes ideas. I guess I will run out to a truck stop and look for some of those. Ha! Pete

I am working the Nutcracker show in San Antonio and PETA has announced that they will be at our show. All I know is that they had better stay away from my son when he comes to see the show with his mom. I wish I had a fur coat to wear. Pete

I use C-47s or grip clips to hold gels on to barn doors usually. And I get my Gaff tape from work. Pete
