Bump ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

??? No longer Bionic, the hardware was taken out, this was removal not installation... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Both... No pain popping it, relief from pressure and then the air hit the exsposed raw flesh....... OOOOOWW! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Most excellent scars from break and 1st surgery! We'll see how these turn out... They look firstrate right now. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Not SS, Titanium. No the blister was caused by the swelling from the breaks and surgery, mainly from the breaks and severely aggravated by my lack of being able to keep it elevated and iced. After I broke it(morning) I went to the hospital (all day), then back to the DZ to recover some clothing and whatnot from my truck and make arrangements, then off to the Airport for my flight home (All dag blasted night, with layover) and finally to the hospital for surgery, all in all 24hrs from break to surgery with perhaps 5hrs of elevation. I was severly swollen, hence the major blisters. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

As some of you may have seen last wednesday in my post "Surgery in the AM" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1497773;#1497773 I just had all the hardware removed from right Tib/Fib, these were installed after my biffed landing back in 2002 at Skydance (see my post "Crash and Burn"). http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=201749;search_string=Crash%20and%20burn;#201749 I had severley shattered my right tib/fib and it took two (2) plates and fourteen (14) screws to put it back together (neato pics here in my post "x-rays and photos of bad swoop"), http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=216762;search_string=X-rays;#216762 So here are pics of the post-op incisions and the removed hardware positioned as it was in my leg, aprox 1/4lb of titanium. ENJOY! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Yep, their gonna cut me open in the morning. I hope none of my "scent" from the Mardi Gra Boogie is left in there.... Tragedy in the OR.... News at 10... After two plus years my membership in the Heavy Metal Club is going to expire, no more setting of metal detectors, knowing before the weather man when its going to get cold and/or snow and no more screwheads scratching me from the inside out! They've been bugging me and some of the screws are literally coming out of the bones... You could say "Chiles, got some screws loose!" Their taking the two (2) plates and fourteen (14) screws out of my right tib/fib from when I biffed in at Skydance back in Aug of 2002. Here's some cool pics, aaah the memories..... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=216762;search_string=X-rays%20and%20Photos;#216762 I think I'll make a sculpture..... Or perhaps a shadow box with photos and X-rays... This'll put me out of action for a couple to three weeks, no jumping, I'll be living vicariously thru ya'll for a while so I better see some good stuff on here. Send me some healing vibes ya'll.

listening now, too cool ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Considering there's over 250 active DZ's in the USA, I'd say I've my work playtime cut out for me...... A skydivers gotta do what a skydivers gotta do! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

I'm working on it...... 40 states and 81 DZ's, my goal is all 50 and atleast 100 DZ's. To hit every DZ in the USA!? I'll give it a try ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Nevermind I had the sudden flash in the brainpan to look you up on the RB website. RICK..... Pretty dang sure your male, now as to sexual preference?................ No, truthfully I didn't, but now that you slap me upside the head with it... I still don't, WFFC is always a blur except for a few key moments in time, usually in FF. I have faces but I find it hard to connect names. I'll vote gay, Pina Coladas.... I was a bartender for four years and the only times I served guy's Pina Coladas was when they were drinking with a woman or flaming fags 99% true statement, 1% error in judement, because 99% of my time behind the bar I was just as hammered as when I was in front of one! Clean-n-Sober for nine (9) years (no relapses) and counting! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

That depends, are you male or female? You answer my question and I'll answer your poll. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Steve, this issssss Ggggrrrreat! I was friggin LMAO! Reading your strips... Thank You for such wonderful skydiving humor

Most excellent work! I used to attend a ceramics workshop in school, I loved working with clay. I did a dragon bust too, got rave reviews on that piece. Keep your fingers crossed that it makes it thru the firing, I lost a few nice pieces during the bique firing, and even had one go during glazing. You do anything on the wheel work? ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Mike, that letter from the FAA to the TLIA Airport Manager regarding fair access is the best news since you were able to get your case into federal court. I hope they receive something considerably sterner, like a criminal charges, for the grants they obtained with their fantasy flight ops numbers. I can't wait to hear what their replies to the specified allegations. Thank you for keeping us posted here at DZ.com. We're with ya all the way, lets "NAIL THEIR BALLS TO THE WALL!"

Mike, thank you for providing the clear facts from your side of the fence, your post answers many questions that have been asked and boost the moral of all skydivers knowing that a DZ/DZO can take on the "Big Boys" and keep skydivers skydiving! Folks, y'all know my rant by now.... The JCAA and other "Authorities" who are supposed to hold the public trust and serve our needs has attempted to screw us, to serve themselves to our hard earned $$$$ that we are screwed out of in the first place. How did they attempt to do this? Blatant fraud! When caught with their hand in the cookie jar they resort to? Non-Disclosure Threats Harassment Evictions Blatant lies What have they inflicted upon this DZ/DZO in the past/present? Blatant lies Discrimination Harassment Frivolous lawsuits Lost time and Money Mike can, and will, win this fight just as he said he will, but he needs help. How can we help Mike/Goldcoast and our fellow skydivers? By providing continued moral and financial support. Laurel has her post linking to the "Goldcoast legal defense fund" or call Goldcoast and buy a jump ticket over the phone while exspressing your support.

Mike is fighting for us, GO GET'EM MIKE, NAIL THEIR BALLS TO THE WALL! Mike, that has to be the next boogie... "The Balls to the Wall Boogie" I've no doubt that there is not one skydiver on these boards who isn't rooting for you and Goldcoast, your DZ's reputation as a "Fun & Friendly DZ" is well known too thousands of skydivers. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Yo RevJim, that is a great ground pic! Too bad I missed it by a day, drat'it! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

DiverDriver, to the best of my knowledge they (Certain members of the JCAA and/or the Airport Manager)have been confronted with their "Numbers" only by Mike and a very few others, the documents that were presented for appropriation of the federal tax-payers money to fund the ATC tower and runway improvements have been requested thru "FOIA", Freedom of Information Act, and I don't know as to whether they've been received yet. I do not know if any formal acqusations have been made by any person/s or authority. I do know that Mike and others are hard on this and out for the JCAA's ass on this matter, amongst them are many fine upstanding citizens and military types both active and retired. I talked with Mike about why he felt he was being harassed and made the following report in one of my posts to this thread, I was not able to make saturday nights "Town Hall Meeting" at the DZ, where Mike and others dispelled some rumors and answered questions as to the current proceedings regarding Goldcoast and the JCAA. Had I been there, I would have asked your questions, myself. The reason I made the comments I made in this mornings post is because of what Laurel reported from the meeting at my request. A entity such as the JCAA does not do a legal 180' when they have a case, when they know their claims will hold water, they now want to IMO just shut Mike up instead of shut him down. Make Mike happy and maybe he'll be quite. Mike is saying "Not this time!"........ Please PM or E-Mail Mike with questions and any ideas, he's been pretty open about this to everyone, get your answers from the man. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Local news has been contacted multiple times about coverage of the ongoing legal wrangling and the JCAA's lies and mis-appropriations. We've had some local newspaper coverage mainly just talking about the battle between Goldcoast and the JCAA. Why they haven't picked it up and atleast investigated it themselves is a mystery to me too, after all it would make a hell of a story... JCAA board members charged with de-frauding tax-payers! FAA to take action... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Absolutely Bitchin! Laurel, thank you for that update and for your work in gathering donations for Goldcoast Skydivers. Folks, Mikes not giving up as you can see, he's not just going to be satisfied with being allowed to operate, he's going after them now! I sincerely hope that all goes well, that the JCAA gets whats coming to them! I think the signs point out the obvious... They know they were wrong trying to evict Goldcoast, they want to talk settlement and Mikey don't like it, they know they de-frauded the tax-payers, they lied to the FAA about T/O & L's numbers... People with your continued support, moral and financial, Mike and the staff of Goldcoast will "Nail their balls to the wall!"... And when its over and the smoke has cleared, I hope that other Airport Authorities can look back at this and think twice before unleashing their tax-payer funded legal dept loose on their local dropzone for any reason. This fight is for all skydivers and DZ's! *** We need your support. We have almost $2000 in the protectgoldcoast@yahoo.com PayPal account. We also need you to come out to the DZ and jump. We had a TON of people this past weekend and it was a blast. 70-degree sunny days!! What fun.******* Once again thanks to all of you for your support. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Ok, There is more to Mikes last post pertaining to us showing our support and clearing up any rumors that may be going around. (See highlighted Qoute) Mikes holding a meeting tonight (Sat Feb 19th) at the DZ when the beerlight comes on, lets be there! I'd like to extend my personal thanks to all of you out there who have responded to our DZ's plight, all the moral and financial support is greatly appreciated. Thank you all so very much! The fights not over and Mike is not going to be satisfied with anything other than victory this time, he's been screwed with before and did not follow up with countersuits, this time the gloves are off!!! GO GET"EM MIKE! ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868
