Hooknswoop 19 #51 December 2, 2003 QuoteI'm just curious, do you think that you will ever take up a hobby, or already have one, with the same intensity and commitment of time? I don't know to be honest. When I get into something I tend to REALLY get into it. I will take a hard look at something before I do though. I recently talked to a guy about paragliding. He wanteed me to do a tandem. I've done enough tandems. He was also talking about $3,000.00 just to get certified. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #52 December 2, 2003 QuoteIgnorance is bliss. If I didn't know what I know, I would still be jumping. You could always pay an unlicensed surgeon to hammer a crayon into your brain. Congratulations on your decision, Derek. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingInClip 0 #54 December 2, 2003 No offense, but it would seem to me that Base would also have politics, though not on the same level. Still, if you get into it truly hardcore, you run into risks of arrests and many other things. Seems like an odd choice. Either way, best of luck to you and I hope you won't mind sharnig your knowledge with us newbies. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The risks of getting caught can be mittigated with care. QuoteEither way, best of luck to you and I hope you won't mind sharnig your knowledge with us newbies.
