  1. Quote The Jesus story claims him as THE Son of THE God,Quote This sparked a thought. Jesus is Gods son He sent to our world. Might He have sent other sons to different worlds? Maybe even a daughter? If the catholic church is right and they are His spokesmen, then Jesus has a lot of brothers and sisters.

  2. I've been dragged and I've been drugged. I really did not like being dragged. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

  4. There's a Holiday Inn 1 block from the Air & Space Museum that was OK for quality and price. We stayed there over Easter weekend about 5 years ago. I think I found it on one of the Orbits kind of websites. If you're doing the tourist thing, consider the guided tours. We saw a lot in 2 days but no explanation or history lesson.

  5. The guy on the bottom is going to get the ribbing but I think the guy on top put him on the pole. Not intentionally but the guy on top was driveing. I would like to have been a fly on the wall at the debrief.
  6. The only sport more equipment intensive than football must be skydiving. Quote The football players can take off their equipment and call it rugby. We take off our equipment and it's called suicide. I remember a T-Shirt that said, "Rugby players eat thier dead." And I don't think it just meant the plane crash.

  7. I never realized that those guys were skydivers.
  8. We survived because we used the automatic openers at the end of our arms.
  9. All of this reminds me of what some one told about Miami in the late '80s. "Miami is much safer than it used to be. I was talking to a door gunner on a bread truck the other day and he said he hadn't had to open up in a week or two."
  10. What do you mean she needs to take up skydiving? It looks like she already bounced. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  11. I'm thinking that the pilot and probably the whole crew always wanted to do some thing like that when in really counted. They got the chance and pulled it off and made it look easy. Ooops. Sorry the Navy doesn't have pilots. They are Aviators. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

  12. Niki, Tudo Joya! A fellow CampPenis Survivor! So then, having a bad memory makes a bad memory a good memory, não? That's it exactly! I bet Skip can laugh about it taking a week to get a mag replaced on 182. Now.
  13. Jack, Tudo bon? That's a funny story. But I think nothing makes the "good ole days" as good as a bad memory.
  14. Oh, and top 5 is where Obama belongs Obama can only tie for Number 2 with Jimmy Carter,(a good man but a bad Pres.) W will always be THE WORST.

  15. Ever since I got my drivers licence, I have thought that running a red light is probably the most stupiid thing you could do while "operating a motor vehicle". 7 years ago I was leaving the DeLand airport, stopped at a light, The light changed, I clanced both ways and started to go across U.S. 192. "All of a sudden" there was a car in front of me. I contacted him with my left front bumper on his right front wheel. The impact spun me around 270 degrees to the right and him 180 to his left. (While I was going around, I thought this was just like my NASCAR computer game) It totaled my 5 year old Handa Accord and his 15 year old whatever. A few people at Performance Designs were outside on break and saw it. They thought that some might have been killed in the wreck. I was in the hospital for a week and it took 5 or 6 weeks for the broken shoulder blade to quit being a problem. So I don't have any problem with red light cameras. Because I don't run red lights. Can there be governmental abuse? Why not, they seem to be able to abuse most other things. Some recourse is needed for transparency, if that's the right word. As to the statistics, Johb Sherman told me once that "Figures don't lie, But liers so do figure" And the other quote about that from I don't know who, "There are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, Damn lies. And statisics." Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  16. Yeah. It must have been vanity that made me think I could turn a Navy conical into a PC. Center line pulled the apex down to the skirt crown lines, triple dog house and 2 turn slots (with steering lines) on each side. And it did pack really small. And it had all the drive of a Wind Drift Indicator. But did I mention that it packed really small?
  17. What kind of kitty is this? Thick legs and very small ears. We just adopted a kitty and it's about the prettiest kitten I've ever seen. All white with a tan (maybe orange calico) tail and ears. Ears much larager than this kitten. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  18. Slide a piece of metal into the packing data pocket. Then, on fabric side not the TSO label side, use a basting tip to put your initials in dotted letters. It's obvious if looked for but easily over looked to the casual observer. This will help to recover it AFTER it's stonlen. To prevent the theft, make so ugly no one would want it.
  19. Do they know that you jump out of airplanes? The first manfunction you had. You looked up, your throat got tight and you thought, "Oh, SHIT!" Then your trainning kicked in and you handled it apparently routinely to everyone who observed it.. Am I correct? that's the typical reaction to a first malfunction Wheather you shared the oh shit part with anyone else, your co-workers will never know. That's the part you relate. The oh shit part. They perceive that you are heroec/corageous (for skydiving) and human for showing the momentary self doubt. If you haven't yet had a malfunction, ignore all of this.

  20. When Manley was in the Navy and stationed at Jax NAS, he jumped at Palatka. He devised a 4 line reliase where the lanyard that was pulled to release the 4 lines became steering lines. I thought that was clever. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  21. I jumped both. I think a Starlite would beat it by a good 50 feet. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
  22. I read in a Tom Clancy book that "The Captain of a ship can circumnavigate the globe and win the Navy Cross without ever leaving his cabon if he has the good sense to rely on his Chief Petty Officers." Well done. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
