RALFFERS 0 #1 May 1, 2007 Ok, so I've been itching to go skydiving for God knows how long and it looks like I could finally do it this weekend (ran into some money unexpectedly) However, with unexpected mony, come unexpected expences. Nothing would make me happier than to go jump this weekend for the first time, to get the feeling before starting AFF later this season. However, my GPS also got F.U.B.A.R. earlier this week. Although the GPS may seem like something that's unnecessary, in my case it's really not. I'm a moran, an idiot, a regular putz when it comes to directions. Directionally challanged even... Really, you tell me to go East or West, and I ask do I tearn Left or right?... What would you do?Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still waiting on your Panties you promised to sendRafflers I do not care one way or other if you skydive or golf or whatever else you want to do, you didnt offend me in the slightest. For you to offend me 2 things would need to happen 1. You would need to actually know me in person 2. I would have to care about your opinion You qualify on neither frontHope you can find your wya to wherever the hell your goingYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

sartre 0 #18 May 1, 2007 You're going to need to work on finding your way back from up above, so start practicing those skills now. Unless you can figure out a way for the GPS to talk you back to the DZ. I am directionally challenged, so much so that I no longer consider myself lost, I'm just taking the scenic route. Time after time. You do get better, but it's hilarious, me deciding to skydive when I can't find my way out of a paper bag--good luck with that!!!

Thanks, for a moment that I had a horrible day at work. My reservation is for this Sunday and I can't wait.
