Thats good to hear, Hoped from day one I wouldnt Let ya down...Its been cold up here up untill the past couple weeks So it took me almost a month to get back up in the skies but I banged out the rest of the jumps in one day, and got my A. Impressed the DZ when I left inbetween 24-25 to go get two cases of Beer...Needless to say I like the DZ here but not as much as the Farm...The Farm will always be my Home Away From Home... -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

Excellent, Thank you. I read some reviews on Bonehead Guner and it seems most people Did not like the chin strap because it came undone in free fall and they lost the helmet. Not my idea of fun. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Did my jumps 1-21 at the Farm. Everyone greeted and welcomed me right away willing to teach and share their knowledge. Wealth of knowledge at the farm in every aspect of the sport making learning on a fast pace VERY easy. Everyone is VERY helpful and wants to see you succeed and do well with everything as much as you want to. When waiting for the next load there is always someone showing video or jokes being thrown around. It is a ton of fun, Will miss it very much. I would tell anyone either just getting into the sport or experienced the farm is where its at and the place to be.

Well if the glue is a problem turn the heat up in your house as high as you can. The glue will soften and the flooring will actually slide. Allowing it to come RIGHT UP. to get the staples up, its tedious, but grab a flat bar and go staple by staple. If your in the NY area gimme a shout....Good Luck otherwise. Whatever you do DO NOT use a torch to soften the glue the whole floor will flash on you and you will have a bigger problem. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

On AFF Level four now and repeated it once. My instructors are all VERY VERY helpful and giving me great tips a long with everyone else at the farm. But For some reason I cant Seem to keep my legs solid in the proper position during free fall. They either wobble a round a bit or are very unsymetrical. I am very comfortable in the air but I don't know what it is. On the GROUND I got it down but it seems once im in the air I "feel" as if I am doing ti but video shows I am not. Anyone have any tips on me keeping a proper arch and good legs throughout the sky dive. I REALLY want to just bang out the level and have everything click. So Whatya got for me...? -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Brother, As far as I know NC is a taxable state. I have a list of 13 States Somewhere Around here if I can find it that are not Taxable. Florida, Mississippi, texas, nevada new hampshire, just to name a few off the top of my head. We were actually talking about it this afternoon at the kitchen table, so its gotta be true. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

Maybe its Overloaded? Do you have a MILLION things plugged in and operating on that breaker? And when you go to reset it everything is still plugged in and on so it overloaded it right away again...But dont turn off the main cause then you cant read everyones advice -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think."

Yea I'd Say...But back to your original post the phone thing is a home run. At one point in our date I thought of ducking out but I couldnt do it so i was going to go to the bathroom and have a friend call me. But when i got up she DEMANDED i give her my phone. Its funny when a friend says "I got a GREAT girl for you" you trust the guy. And you gave her your phone?? Oh, and I don't trust guys btw jk HELL NO she didnt get my phone, I didnt go to the bathroom. Just held it the WHOLE date... -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Whats Going on? My Name is Jon, New to the sport and the site. I did my Tandem jump this summer and got hooked. Always looking for more adrenaline than what fires and motorcycles offer and always looking to make mom nervous haha. But going to be starting my AFF this week and looking forward to it. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

Dinner Date Gone Wrong? Well One time I went on a date and learned VERY fast into the date that she had a BIT of a drinking problem and got drunk FAST. Needless to say i began to be accused of alllll her ex-boyfriends issues. She was yelling at me telling im im a liar in the middle of the resturant. The waitress took our order and I couldnt even eat. I sat there and took it like a champ with my glass of ice water as she ate a nice dinner and got trashed all on me. Shouldve hooked up with the waitress that night but I couldnt because everyone thought i was the JERK out of the two of us. Gotta Love it... -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX

The Whole temperature thing is true. No matter how hot the room is there is ALWAYS a cushion of cool air a few inches worth on the ground. Even in a fire, the few inches right by the floor are your best means of survival. Maybe when you go to sleep at night you should turn down the heat and get a humidifior in the room to prevent you from drying up. Just My Opinion but the flux copacitor is a good theory as well. -"It's amazing the kinds of things you think about when there's no time to think." TOWER LADDER 44...FDNY, SOUTH BRONX
