Wow. You are a very sweet man. You are obviously head-over-heels. This woman would be crazy to say no.

Look again. "STOP" is spelled "SOTP."

teeheehee. GROSE!

Nice 3Way! BEER!

As disturbing as it does sound, I would think that number too would be much higher. I mean how many times a day does a guy "adjust" or "scratch" himself. If you enter a public building, like a gas station, that number would be screaming. No?

This one is just disturbing!!!

When you are as new to the sport as he is, you don't necessarily own your own gear yet. I know when I started shopping around for mine, I was jumping a different rig each time - some with an RSL, some without. I think under the circumstances, he did an excellent job to save his life on borrowed gear. The guy who owned the gear he jumped that day has a ton of jumps and ratings. .... Sorry, just thought I would add that info to the picture.

Yo, Jim. You did good, dude. Did you ever find Brent's main?

I'll be there. But I missed registration. Argh! I'll watch all my buds jump. I'm designated camera chick.

So, this morning we wake up to severe blue. Gorgeous weather - a bit cold, but gorgeous. I throw myself on first load - going to go out and do a three way with a couple of friends. We all get on the plane, belt up, and two seconds later they tell us to get off cuz one of the two engines on our twin otter is not working. So, we get off and wait around while it's tweaked for a few minutes. Finally they load us back up and we taxi out to the runway. As we are about to get going the engine starts to trip up again. Talk about a nervous takeoff. We finally got off the ground and once we reach 3,000 my heart slows to a normal pace. My group was first out so we are approaching jump run and waiting for the red light. Finally someone just starts screaming door and we open without the light. Apparently the lights were broken but we didn't catch on until the pilot came on the PA and just started to scream EXIT, EXIT, EXIT. We dove out. Had a great 15 point 3way. But the uppers were so damn strong it blew everyone way the hell off airport. One guy had a line over on a rig he borrowed and had to chop. Even the sky gods on the load with the tiny little canopies were pushed way back. So as I'm landing in a wheat field I see the otter coming in and realize he is flying kind of slow and off. Well, the engine died again. Couldn't fix it cuz they didn't have the right parts. Today was just not meant to be.

ummmm.... smart. BEER.

Okay, okay... if we are pulling on your ears, or your hair or your entire head.... regardless of how it's done... you should be thrilled. It only means that you are driving us insane.

Looks like a whole load of jelly fish. I agree with everybody... I would never ever want to jump a round. How do they not get wrapped up together being so damned near each other and hard to stear?

That stinks, guy. Sorry to hear that. Your lucky though... 60 day notice. We get immediate action with one week severence pay. Oh, well. If it happens, I'll be packin and workin manifest until the season ends here, then I'll head south for the winter.

It's an insurance company based out of Massachusetts. I'm not sure if I'll get hit, but they've told everybody to be prepared for the worst. I think packing is starting to sound better and better.

This stinks. My company is going to layoff 1000 people tomorrow. Anybody got a job for me? ..... will work for jumps!

Do I hear an ASSHOLE???!!! BEER!!!! That's gorgeous. Congrats dude!

Two words.... RED, SILVER!

ridiculous

I've used something called WINTV made by Hauppauge. You can get it off eBay for about $30. I don't think it's much more than that new.

Wow! That chick could have gotten us LOTS of extra altitude!!!!

So, if the mother bear was protecting her cubs, then what the hell was this dude doing to the cubs to provoke the mother? Maybe the guy should smarten up a bit. I feel bad for the bears.

A lot of the stuff mentioned here is expensive as hell and not so easy for beginners. If you just want a personal webpage, you can develop stuff in word and save it as html. Frontpage is also pretty cheap and easy to use. A lot of places where you register your domain have templates you can use... that might be another good option. I'm a web designer and I use Dreamweaver MX - very cool but expensive.

Yes, indeed. I was put up on the beer board right away and I immediately fullfilled my social obligation. I love this freakin sport.

This weekend rocked!!!! No more static line!!! I jumped 3 times Sunday and 4 times Monday. The last jump Monday was my first freefall!!!! After getting stuck with 2 extra PRCPs due to a little screw up, I was so freakin psyched to get out there on my own!!!! I couldn't sleep last night. Now I'm at work, and I can't work, I can only sit here and dream about blue skies and skydiving.
