wmw999 2,439 #3 September 10, 2006 I think it's the same issue discussed here, as well. I couldn't get the clicky to load, but Skymama had copied the text. Good times were had at Jimmy Godwin's place when I was there . I'd brought my blender, so pina coladas were drunk nightly.

jimmytavino 16 #4 September 11, 2006 hahaha my thought too. sounds like a Farmer McNasty... on steroids. Someone should brief him about "bad spots" years and years ago,,,, THAT would have been a challenge to me and some of my "balls to the walls" " no cares in the world" buddies. We would have all thrown a dollar into a helmet and had a "mini-money meet". to see who could Land ON the sign..... signed, jimmy,"no longer crazy after all those years" tavino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #5 September 11, 2006 As much as I think the operation should be allowed, I still gotta say, "Maybe this guy has a reason for being concerned." I don't think anyone would like the thought of random folks dropping into their yards. Plenty of people out there in the world just want to be left alone, and I think it should be respected. So, it's up to the skydivers to not give people a reason to complain. Don't land on people's property. In a sense, prove to them all that their notions are misplaced. My wife is hotter than your wife.
