  1. also concur on that. there needs to be changes to the constitution for mandatory retirement at 70 for all offices regardless of competency. those people no longer have a clear concept of future, their concerns are of the of the immediate for self fulfillment, and have an interest only with how they will be remembered (wanting to be famous which they will not be). btw i'm 72; 42 years in the DC region but left the game in 2012
  2. and your next job? or also don't forget caddies But, if Musk and DOGE do look at that, well … Trump is reportedly on pace to put an incredible amount of taxpayer money into perfecting his game this year. And that is because, according to HuffPost, Trump has spent an estimated $10.7 million playing golf in the first month of his return to office.
  3. despite all of the intriguing discussions, i am looking forward to be seeing in about 2 years all of those people who voted for him are standing in lines at walmart trying to get sale prices on bulk purchases of cat food. boomers find out their social security has been reduced and all those younger can just forget about it. when sufficient $5 million gold cards are purchased jobs will be limited to service positions so get your steel wool ready to be polishing.
  4. that would be just a tad difficult Paul B. MacCready Jr. (September 25, 1925 – August 28, 2007)

  6. never did a strato star but i did love my flyer but then i was 145lb at the time
  7. don't really recall clearly but i think it was done by the Herd back in the 70's - out the back of a skyvan
  8. http://www.wired.com/2014/05/absurd-creature-of-the-week-this-marsupial-has-marathon-sex-until-it-goes-blind-and-drops-dead/ saw this at wired.com and first thought was - how is this news? sounds like a typical weekend jumping.
  9. i had to look at a calendar after reading this - was sure someone was doing a 01 April in here
  10. just speculation but ..... i would expect that exposure to any lead from avgas is somewhat limited for each individual - unless one is really into the aroma of engine exhaust. the pollutants that i have not heard much about concern auto brakes and tires: brakes: Asbestos Semi-Metallic Non-Asbestos Organics Low Steel Carbon Exact composition of each manufacturer’s pads is a closely guarded secret although asbestos has been greatly reduced since the passing of drum brakes. then there are tires: natural and synthetic rubber, reinforcing chemicals, anti-degradants, adhesion promoters (which includes cobalt salts) and curatives (including sulfur) these when multiplied by the millions of cars on the roads seems more to be concerned about breathing - the dust does go somewhere and not simply washed away by rain. the ride to the airport has always been the most dangeruous part of jumping! o yeah and one of my favorites - a DOE report from back in the early 90s on PVCs - seems when they are burned (like incinerators for garbage) at an insufficiently high temperature (non stoichiometric) there is a formation of dioxin - always a pleasant breathing experience.
