  1. If this keeps up, I'll get into it this summer... ------ Michael
  2. Was at the DZ yesterday and life was good. Wanted to get the bike out today and go for a ride but it started snowing before that could happen. Not the ideal weather to have two wheels on the pavement with. ------ Michael
  3. So, what was the weather like in your neck of the woods today? ------ Michael
  4. Thanx for the reminder. I had a bike before out here so fully aware of all that crap. It was generally better around the end of June by the time they got most of it picked up in the metro area. Now, I just have to live with snow in June. Where do I live? Jump altitude. ------ Michael
  5. here's another: www.virtuallythere.com ------ Michael
  6. Been looking at VH...might have to go shopping this weekend if it rains...
  7. Very slick. One thing I'm already looking for is new pipes. almost got wiped out by a few people on the maiden ride. ------ Michael
  8. Depends on what i need done... ------ Michael
  9. And snow is even in the forecast for today... I love it when Santa's little elves bring their truck and trailer loaded with new toys... ------ Michael
  10. http://www.dexonline.com/servlet/ActionServlet;DexSESSIONID=Co2fSYgaeH3S6RjN3WUKIMAw6XHLE6HwKk1pms17ZksvCoE1ltz2!-1974465159?pid=blistings&queryType=¢erCity=¢erState=¢erLabel=Last&PREVIOUS_PAGE=bsearch&from=&queryText=hotel&distance=10¢erAddress=Enter+street+address&cityText=rantoul&state=IL Never stayed at any so don't have any feedback. ------ Michael
  11. Name that airline... bzzzzz... Pilgrim Airlines. N121PM, N125PM & N129PM are all from Pilgrim Airlines and now jump planes. ------ Michael
  12. Employees or contractors? Major difference...labor laws apply to employees, contractors not so much. ------ Michael
  13. nah...it's sitting in a hanger in Longmont Colorado in the put back together stage. ------ Michael
  14. Definitely watch the extras too. There was one segment where an arm was broken on landing, the stunt double gets up and finishes the scene. ------ Michael
  15. The big island was a bit more sparce than Maui but things to do: Helicopter tour out to the volcano. It's also kind of cool to hike out in the lava field around sunset. The hills come alive with the sights of flowing lava. ------ Michael
  16. To clarify, backwards compatible with B, not A. ------ Michael
  17. pull the older card out and post the model number. I'd assume it's a B, but easy enough to find. the Linksys wireless routers and others for the most part are pretty much plug and play. There are some configuration settings you'll want to do so (people like me) don't borrow your internet connection or tap into your home network when their power or internet connection is out. ------ Michael
  18. Bring Grafico with you next weekend. I made it up on Friday for other reasons and didn't get a chance to make it on Saturday. Will be there for the boogie though... ------ Michael
  19. Get Don to give you a ride in his L39. Just tell him it's the ride he promised me that I never received. Plan on walking though...
  20. Best to figure out the standard on the lappy first. B,G are more plentiful than A (shorter range). A B router is the cheapest and I've seen them for $10. A G router even at best buy will run $69 (WRT54G) or $89 (WRT54GS) & get the $30 rebate. If you're real adventureous, update the firmware with one that isn't written by Linksys. You can increase the range with a few mouse clicks. If you're going for budget, get the Dlink DI-524 (B,G compatible) and watch for rebates on this one from Best Buy or CompUSA. When the rebates are included, it's generally $20 after. I've had experience with all of these and use the Linksys flavors primarily with aftermarket firmware. ------ Michael
  21. Technically isn't a Fluegel black vodka and red bull ..... They were pouring red vodka and red bull when I had too many of them. Although I could have just been way off the bar stool and drinking anything they put in front of me. I do know it was before Red Bull was in the US. ------ Michael
  22. It's called a Fluegel...The Austrians know how to party... ------ Michael
  23. Nah. I now live at jump altitude of my former DZ. The view is awesome up here. ------ Michael
  24. No, Holy crap this! --- Final Summary Principal $29,000,000.00 Monthly Payment: $192,937.72 Total Int: (No pre-payment) $40,457,580.50 Total Int: (As given) $40,457,580.50 Total Payments: $69,457,580.50 Average Monthly Interest: $112,382.17 --- ------ Michael
