  1. A little Jaegermeister might sooth it.
  2. At least it's getting better, not worse. Your eyeball being all itchy and on fire is not a pleasant experience. Been there, done that.
  3. You could take care of that eye with a spoon.
  4. 10 jumps on my 210 and I've only stood it up once. I need to at least stick my landings before I downsize to a 150 190.
  5. You're right about that, probably not the best jumps to pull low, but I did (sub 4k). I'm finding myself envious of guys with smaller canopies that look much easier to pack. My friend's 150 looks a lot easier to get into the bag than my 210. I'll be getting some practice in my living room where it's nice and cool.
  6. I took yesterday off for a packing lesson in Titusville, even jumped my first 2 pack jobs.
  7. Maybe Miss is into golden-showers and scatplay.
  8. I've made 45 jumps this year, including the tandem i made 1/7/06. I opted for your "I jumped more this year than last" option, considering I didn't jump at all in 05.
  9. That occurred to me as well. No need to worry about that yet, WY and NH are pretty low on my priority of states to visit. 2 states down (FL & CA), 48 to go.
  10. I'm curious about this as well, along with NH. Don't see any DZ's listed in these states. Does one pay a local farmer for a crop-duster H&P?

    Autumn or Fall?

    Fall of course!! I thoroughly enjoy both the season and the verb!!
  12. Pulling in the wind tunnel, esp your reserve. Not sure it'd kill you but it'd certainly be ugly.
  13. Ketchup goes in the fridge, stays fresher that way.
  14. Well good for you. Mine neither really, except for some potatoes and onions I bought a while back and forgot about in the back of the pantry. A nasty stink hit me Sunday when I got home Sunday night, I thought I had a dead rat. They'd pretty much liquefied so I think it's safe to assume they were past their expiration date.
  15. I just tossed out some eggs from November. My parents moved a couple years ago and I tossed out a bunch of spices they bought in 1979 when they moved in.
  16. Sounded like your eggs were quite tasty!!
  17. I'm in, tentatively from the 27th to the 30th!!
  18. I was still living with my parents in Cali and going to school. I got up and saw my folks glued to the TV. The first image I saw was people running from a huge cloud of dust. My dad and I drove to the beach to run, as was our normal routine. I got my first glimpses of what was going on from a news radio program as we drove to and from the beach. I went to school to find everyone leaving and the entrances blocked. I spent the rest of the day glued to the tv and went to my warehouse job that night.
  19. :1:0 Made a late afternoon load today, nice faceplant landing.
  20. They still have HYT, just figured you would've tested more than 3 times in 12 years. I scored a 302 with a 279 cutoff. They promoted 35% in my AFSC, so I'm assuming that %'s AF-wide. I've heard the stories about how promotions used to be a lot leaner. In my case, it didn't seem to make much difference.
