    Mile Hi does... ------ Michael

    Not bad for his first run through the gates, eh? ------ Michael

    Anyone know if Nikolai was vertical on the gates or not? ------ Michael

    And no, he was not vertical on the entry gates. The FAI judge had already left so the record set previously in the day still stands... N125PM flies again. ------ Michael

    You're not subtle in the least, are you? Mar? Subtle? sure...sure she is... ------ Michael

    ...you might miss a month of Parachutist, but that's about it. Never have missed a month... ------ Michael

    When does your membership expire? (assuming Oct 31). Pay Nov 1. check out your new expiration date when your card arrives. ------ Michael

    Dateline Galveston - 1900. Official reports put the death toll at 8000, but the actual number was believed to be 10-12k. They learned the first time and apparently didn't want it to happen again. btw, getting to IAH yesterday was a bitch. Luckily I had a seat when I got there. Many did not. ------ Michael

    Looking for a hotel recommendation around Victoria station. Since it's not my neighborhood, looking for ideas... ------ Michael

    Technically, yes. FedEx is an airline and not a cargo company. I've got the explaination on my hard drive here somewhere. I'll look when I have a moment. ------ Michael

    Well, they are if your friend pays for your ticket or buys the DVD and invites you over to watch... Go spend the money and don't be cheap. ------ Michael

    Totally understand that. Instead of repeating, just refer people to read the prior posts. I don't read everything (see my post above somewhere to Steve) and he basically said I missed the discussion I was asking about. ------ Michael

    ummmm...yeah? (runs and hides)... Basically, you redirected the topic from the record that this was originally based on and said 'the rules should be...'. Some of the events have point reductions for not standing up (already addressed) but you continued on the 'it shouldn't count if they don't stand up' stance. Point was made early on and other addressed it but you continued on. Your opinion on this is known now so get on with it. If you're really passionate on this, then get involved with the rule makers to make the change you're suggesting happen. People still do value your opinion but repeating over and over again that it shouldn't count gets old...quickly. Again, if you're passionate about about this, get involved or voice your opinion on the subject - once - and drop it. You're not skydiving or swooping anymore so the weight your opinion carries on the subject loses credibilty quickly when you keep poking the fire. ------ Michael

    mis-interpreted. Change your approach then so people don't mis-interpret your intentions. ------ Michael

    Show me where I said that. Derek - It's being interpreted as such since you're having a beef with competitors not standing up their landings. If you're not seeing this, you need to start from the beginning. Can we just stop the banter on this and get on with the fact that the FAI distance record was shattered? ------ Michael

    Tami - Start by shopping the major airlines from Atlanta (assuming you're still there) like Delta or possibly United or whoever else. Take the published fare and bid it on Priceline at 65-70% of the published fare. You'll either get it or be asked to bid again. If you don't win, up the anty until you do. ------ Michael
  19. gravitational
    Steve - Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a percentage point reduction if the landing was not a stand up in some categories? I didn't get out there a ton since I was cooped up in Frank's office working (as I sit in a hotel room in Houston typing this) so I didn't get all of the rules per each event. ------ Michael

    Make sure that animal control gets a copy of that email with full headers to track back to the sender. If left out again, call animal control again. Keep a spreadsheet with dates/times of phone calls to animal control, who you spoke to and also a log of when yappy dog was left out. Doing the same thing myself right now. Luckily, haven't heard yappy dog in over a week so it must be working.

    My neighbor is a sherriff's deputy so I consulted him prior to my chat with the dog's owner. He said that even though he's thought of taking his sniper rifle to the dog, I should keep it all legal so he can back me up. ------ Michael

    I thought skydivers had better taste? Not many I know would 'reach' for a Bud Lite...
