Amazon 7 #5 July 2, 2005 QuoteRed Hat is in Raleigh, North Carolina. Screw that man.....that is WAYYYYY to close to all my relatives...that is just one serious can of worms.. I live 3000 miles from them for VERY good reasons. AT least here they only visit once in a great while... hell one of my cousins from North Carolina moved out here over a year ago. His wife got herself stationed at Fort Lewis,,, and I STILL have not gone to visit them.... Those people are serious pains in the ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They HAVE to bring them down for maintenance at SOME time. I could even get free fall of those! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #8 July 2, 2005 Quoteit would give you incentive to do some MAD ASS 720 Riser dives from ohhh say...1500 ft or so... Well..............you are "in range" of small arms below 4500Ft. However...........1500 is good. Haji don't shoot so good. We proved that theory not too long ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chutem 0 #12 July 2, 2005 Time to move to AZ. It's hot, but that is probably good for your ultra fast head down speed dives. Not much rain, it does get windy in the afternoon these days. Did I mention the wind tunnle is almost open? James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mid Aug is then the 45 to 50 pound Chinookies show up at the Columbia River.... wouldnt you rather come down to the nice cool Oregon Coast and eat slabs of Chinook??? Yes that is an invite...oh and its not bad for Dungeness crab then either.. all you can eat sine you are allowed 3 traps per day per person and 12 is the limit for each person.

Acensky 0 #15 July 3, 2005 It has been trying to rain here in the Portland area all day. We had a few sprinkles around 10am. But if it holds out for the rest of the weekend I will be happy. HeatherGarbage bags do not make good parachutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #16 July 3, 2005 QuoteYes that is an invite... Hmmm...........I could certainly pop over for a couple days. I'll be dragging the kid with me but I'm sure he would just HATE to have to catch a salmon. PM me with dates that you will be out there! I'll be in the PNW for a week. Would love to hang out!

Jumpervint 0 #21 July 4, 2005 Saturday West Plains flew 10 loads in between cloud and wind holds - three teams in the 10 way speed star scrambles got two loads each. We even did a 'low' load Saturday to test the cloud base and got 9000'. Sunday with fewer jumpers and they made 7 loads. And there is a cloudless beautiful day today with jumping going on. Can't blame the weather this weekend. Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."
