See?? I gotta bribe me a good photog and see if I can get some really cool shots like that. Might even make me look like I know what I'm doing.

I love the rain. I wish I had owned a decent camera back then, but one of my favourite memories is watching rain advance over lake Washington. Truly picturesque.

A 1.2 wingloading? Hope shit doesn't happen to you. Medical insurance paid up? That's 1.2:1, and isn't entirely accurate, because I've been losing weight. I haven't had any problems with it so far, and I've been careful not to get crazy with it. I'm more accurate and able to stand all my landings up. At this point, I think I'm doing okay. I even asked around the DZ to see if people thought, based on my skill level and knowledge, that I should jump something larger and the general consensus was "Why?" It seems like a good size for me, and the canopy seems quite forgiving.

I'm sure most people are already aware of this, but that calendar is part of a successful line of products known as "Worst Case Scenario" books. They have all sorts of crazy stuff in there, like how to survive shark attacks, how to wrestle free from an alligator, perform a tracheotomy and escape from being buried in an avalanche, just to name a few. I'm wondering if it wasn't just a bunch of college kids who just sat down and mode most of this stuff up...although, I'm still going to carry a pole when I'm traveling in quicksand country.

I'm groovin' on that funky soundtrack. Yeah...uh huh...work it... Wait, maybe I should just keep that last bit to myself.

Well, you'll all be happy to know that our DZ's master rigger looked the whole thing over many times (in fact, he's inspected it for its current owner many times as well) and has found nothing wrong with it. After asking around, it turns out that the person who made that comment never jumps, but likes to offer totally BS advice to people he's never seen around there before. Nothing unsafe, mind you, just information similar to what he tried to feed me. If the guy hasn't sold this rig by the time I get the money for it, I think I'll go ahead and get it. I've already flown it and found it to be within my limited skill range. I'll fly it slow and carefully until I get a REAL feel for it (if I get to purchase it), then I can continue to increase my knowledge so I can explore the capabilities of that canopy...after about 170 more jumps. Thanks to everyone for all of the helpful advice.

High: Getting to leave the cubicle and drive to a remote location to do an equipment install for several hours. Low: Listening to the radio on the way out and hearing that some booger-eating moron with my same birthday won $5000 earlier that day for listening and calling in when he heard the winning birthday.

Ah, but see, I can know the truth and hold no illusions in my perceptions of my self, and let everyone else wonder. That is less fantasy and more protective reality...translation? "Not a hottie."

Oh, well then forget it. I was just going to talk about ME. That is truly disturbing. How can you pass up this awesome opportunity to have sex with Sunshine...even if it is fantasy sex... Oh, it would be about her, of course, but I would focus on MY prowess. We did say it was fantasy, right?

Can I give this ryhming slang a go here? "What's all this crap? Going back to me wife..." At this point, I get lost in the "tope scram", but regain it at "git really drunk and smoke some more cigs". Or, for all I know, that last bit could have been you stating you're an angry assassin who's got a contract for homosexuals.

I remember when I was growing up in Riverside, seeing Air Force One sitting on March's flightline. I remember being quite impressed. It's no small airplane, that for certain.

Wait! How many beers are you planning on attempting to shotgun?

I know what you mean. No, really. I do. Just ask me. I was hoping to have my B license by the time my birthday rolls around, but it probably won't happen. November is already creeping up fast.
