VanillaSkyGirl 6 #56 January 10, 2005 Quote You purposly gain weight to increase your fall rate. BTW, not recommended cuz it's harder than hell to take back off . If it makes you feel any better, Ev, I couldn't tell that you had gained weight at all. You still look slender to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #57 January 10, 2005 So you liked that, did you? How about these then? These are pics of a birthday present I made for my CRW coach a year ago. He had a bearded dragon for a pet, he flies a Dolphin container, and those are the colors of his canopy. Didn't take too long at all. I've been told that I could market those, but at the time, I thought it would take away from the specialness of the gift. Then of course, there's the clock I made this past Christmas for a friend. I used a picture of the person in a birdman suit, enlarged it, cut it into a circle and then added clock numers that I bought from Michaels. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera handy when I had that one completed. Maybe they'll post the pics one day of it. Hmmm....I REALLY need to sell more cars, huh?

boinky 0 #59 January 10, 2005 Quote You look at items in a store and calculate how many jump tickets it is equal to. Don't we all? Quote If a whuffo says the word "first" in conversation and you blurt out "BEER!!!!!" I recently bought a round of beer for a bunch of Texas Hold 'em players, because I actually placed 18'th and never won a hand. A definite first for just about anyone. Quote When you're standing at the bus stop waiting to go to work and you're constantly looking up at the sky whenever you hear a plane fly by? I can do you one better here. I work almost right next to the Atlanta airport, which is one of the busiest in the nation. The damned planes fly over us on a regular basis, along with helicopter, etc. So not only do I have to watch and listen, I also have to suffer by smelling the jet fuel. Quote Accuweather is in your Favorites on your computer. Weather.com and skydivingweather.com for me. Quote For the females...if thoughts of new gear excites you more than thoughts of new shoes! Couldn't tell you the last time I bought new shoes. If I didn't get tennis shoes for Christmas every year, I guess I'd just go barefooted all the time.

turtlespeed 226 #61 January 10, 2005 Quote Quote . . . If you are the only one in your office really pissed off that today (Monday)is a beautiful sunny day after two full days of rain and wind. Two days? Saturday was nice...(except for my interesting landing). The weather on Sunday certainly sucked down there though... It looks about the same up here today.. Edit: because I can't spell I was speaking hypothetically, but hey - it's great to see you - ya know - pond swooping probably isn't a good thing to try just yet.(I kid, I kid) Glad everything worked out ok, not too soggy I hope. Did Dave talk you into becoming a poster here? He's EVIL I tell you - EVIL - I was a hard worker before he corrupted me. He gave me my first little taste for free - now look at me.

Really nice meeting you, Justin Thanks, It was nice meeting you guys, and I had a great time down there this weekend. The water wasn't too bad, I needed to wash my jumpsuit anyway . Suprisingly, it was pretty much the only thing that got wet. I think I'm gonna have to go down there again sometime in the next few months to work on landing on something made of dirt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #63 January 11, 2005 [Jeff Foxworthy voice] If your lifes dream is to live in a bus on an airport, you might be a skydiver. If when someone mentions 3-way, and you're first thought isn't sex, you might be a skydiver.
