JerryBaumchen 1,436 #26 August 19, 2010 Hi Jack, Quote In the three months I was there I saw the money change twice due to rampant inflation. On my 2nd trip there I bought $500 ( US dollars ) of Brazillian money at the airport when I landed in Sao Paulo. Within a week it had devalued by at least 10%. I spent it all quickly and used credit cards from there on. In those days Brazil was experiencing 5,000% inflation per year. NUTZ!!!!! Jerry Baumchen PS) Quote and your right, the women are beautiful! The best viewing was on the beaches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,534 #27 August 19, 2010 I went to visit my brother in Rio about then. I couldn't date the travelers' checks, because then no one would take them -- the date determined the exchange rate. Fortunately for him, my brother was paid in dollars... Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

crustySCSA69 0 #29 August 20, 2010 what a 26' should look like DEMO jump into Halifax Natal Day Concert, landing area was a Rugby field half full of people, one side was a huge hillside covered with thousands of people. everything else was city, no outs... uppers were about 45mph, I opened about a mile away and and thought I took the spot to far, BUT if this uploads OK, you'll note some white stripes at the bottom on each side... I stood it up in the exact middle of the cloth cross they laid out... the squares were nowhere close... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, he brought me back a Brazilian bikini in its own little pouch. The pouch was roughly the size of my fist; the coverage was (shall we say) minimal. The best part: it was a one-size-fits all Nope, I didn't wear it in public. I tried it on once or twice, took it out to show people and tell the story periodically, and eventually gave it to a neighbor after she had a boob job Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

D2909 0 #32 November 8, 2020 I donated my PC, Security Mini Pig, jumpsuit and bunny helmet to UNC as we had a good club back in the 70's. What I miss was the 26' Navy Conical that let me down unscathered. I will hunt for another as I getting back into it before the shovel me in the turf.
