Hands down - long term commited relationship. I am in it for the long run. Just need that special person to enjoy life with. But on the flip side, if that is happening (as is pretty much always is the case - then I may partake in a night or 2 in some safe consenual passion...) But also on that note - I met me a new chickie recently, she is so awesome... (she wants to skydive too). I have never clicked so well, and had so much in common with someone. But I am still courting her right now. So send me some good voodoo and lets she works out. Peace/Blueskies Derek

OK I know this has been asked 100 times... but Im asking again for me now... Im wondering which scotch gaurd is best?? http://cms.3m.com/cms/US/en/2-78/ikkliFP/view.jhtml Looked to me kinda like Green top was best, but I hear red?? Also how many cans am I looking at? anything I should know when Im doing this??? Rig is due Fri or Mon. I am so damn excited. Hehehe Thanks Derek

I just threw this together... ;) LONG LIVE SKYDIVE DELAND Derek

Because Im a nice guy. Derek Click me to make this your icon

ok not to bust bubbles here but REALITY check... It would cost you WAY more money than you are thinking about... Im sure that plane needs a D check, turbine overhauls, modifications to make it jump worthy (plus getting the 337 approved for that), remodeling the interior... But hey, if you can make it happen, youd have my mad respect... Probably better off just buying an old bizjet and using it.

Try the simple solution... First, lets get a network status: Goto "Control Panel" Goto "Network Connections" Right click on the network card your using Select "Properties" CHECK the " Show Icon in Notification area when connected" box Now click on the icon in your system try, look at the packets, are you sending AND recieving packets? *both numbers not = 0* then you have good network card, connection etc. Otherwise check your card, cable, router OK we passed that test. Try this really simple trick. Start Internet Explorer. "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Connections" -> Click on the "Setup" button: -Connect to internet -Set Up My Account manually -Connect using broadband that doesnt require connection and is always on Now I have installed all the updates including SP1, so the menu may be different, but you get the idea. If it doesnt autodetect it, what ever error msg it gives you may lead you in the right direction. Well this is the best that i can do without getting on your computer... hope it helps Derek

Personally I hate watching movies through browsers, I prefer saving them to my computer and watching them... for those who agree Right click and Save As Derek

What the hell??? "Late Teens" I dont know what that means to you, but to me that means 18/19. Now they didnt elaborate on her age which I dont really care about... If she was 18+ what he did was 100% legal, and only broke the papers ethical codes... What BS. what if this guy met her at a bar, which would also be legal??? I think the newspaper is just pulling some "politcal" B.S. Covering there ass when someone comes along and says "hey they knew about the relation." That is where real damage is done. The paper didnt mention anything about a wife, so as far as we know this was a case of 2 consenting adults doing what 2 consenting adults choose to do in there (what they believed to be) privacy - which as far as I know and am concerned is the beauty of being american. But Im sure there will be people out there who disagree and believe we need to baby and protect our younthy from such predaters (she contacted him now didnt she...). When my daughter is 18, she can only date other guys who are 18, 17 is to young and 19 is to old.... Grow up people, this is the year 2002. We don have Freedom of choices. So him being suspended then resigning (and loosing his career) over this is a uge crock of bull. Ohh yeah what if she was 17, well how much longer until she is 18, days weeks a couple of months.... Sorry to rant but this really hits a soft spot with me. When Im 60, 70, 80, 90 I plan on kicking it with some pretty young ladies if they and I so choose to do so. Derek P.S. whats this have to do with skydiving? People of all ages screw around with *gasp* people of all other ages....

Your close... It was an intentional test, they drove a truck behind an IDLEING turbine, not close either, few hundred feet, but yeah it flipped it like *insert some inane babble*. Yes there is video, one of my teachers showed it in class. Was pretty cool, Derek

I just broke 100 uints a couple of days ago. Im at 108 right now. Back in the day I was running it all the time, but my computer pooped out and I didnt start running it again until recently. ;) I think I might be up fo rjoining a group...

two words - Wicked Weasel Derek

Hehehe.... still dont know what grippers are... derek j/k

I got my priorities... Bought the jump suit, ordered the rig... THEN fix the car. The Left Drive axle and struts were bad. Had to replace em (did it in the parking lot of the DZ no less.). BUt seeing as i Live 20 minutes from the DZ, without a car, no get to the dz, and with the current problems, the car would be down shortly. SO had to break down and fix em. Several times heading back and forth to the DZ, i have almost flown offf the street cause i have no damn tread on my tire... cant skydive dead. Hehehe Derek P.S. What are grippers?

Well i might be buying some more this coming weekend. Maybe... If the tire and alignment gods dont stricken my wallet of all cash... Cars suck...

You didnt see the beer on the party during the party sat? There was lots of it... I bought some of it... So blow it out your ass Ray. *MUWAHAHAHA* Wheres your beer? That was the first time you were wrong right? Ohhh, no? ohhh - my bad. Derek

So, I just got my new jump suit that I have been bragging about. I have put about 5 jumps on her so far, she is so badass. Attached is a pic, tell me what you think (maybe later I will get a better pic - like me wearing it... but is that really better???) The matching rig should be arriving soon. Peace Derek P.S. If you like it, and are interested in a brand new, custom hand made jumpsuit, drop me a line. The suit was made by a local who has worked for many of the bignames at one point or another and is now starting her own label - "Ouragan" (French for Hurricane). Blue skies

If by CaseO you mean Nancy then yes. Otherwise No. her label is "Ouragan" (spelling???) its french for hurricane. I cant wait for my suit, it should be ready for this weekend.

Ohh yeah aboout my suit.... (Freefly suit). Base black. There are flames coming up the arms/legs. But that is where the "ohh yeah everyone has that suit" ends. The flames have been tyedied, they are the red/orange/yellow colors (think the flame like colors you see on mirage rigs) cept the colora are better. MUCH MUCH BETTER *MUWAHAHA* Yeah I ordered a Vector 3, all the trimmings, lightening bolt pattern and the lightening bolt is going to be tiedyed to match. You will all see... Derek P.S. A local is making my suit, she has worked for several suit companys and is now starting her own label, if interested I can put you in touch with her. Trust me you will be after you see my suit.

My suit will be done soon, as soon as I get it, Ill get some pics. I havent personally seen it, the lady who is making it for me wont let me until its done, but a few others have and they said it is fucking awesome. ;) Derek

There will be No, I will say it again, NO trimming of Dereks "Bikini". Hehehe, nah havent dyed my hair... did trim it up tho. Do I know you Brian? The pic only reminds me of Scott Miller. Derek...

I got volunteered to do one of the mens bikini jumps.... Trust me, you dont want to see me in a thong... so come out, vote no, and save me the hassle... Or if you do well hell Im flattered (unless your a dude - sicko). Come out and support JFTC. Come on, in the end it is all about the boobies. Derek

hey Betsy come here to sunny Fl and fly a couple of loads with Charlie. He will rock your world

Charlie at Deland is the best, Hands down. No questions asked. Think what you will, but I know. ;) Derek

;)

Ohh yeah, can anyone tell what kind of Rig Powers was wearing? ;)
