  2. Hey, if they're your friends they'll support you in this move. It's a great opprotunity to get out and develop your own style of working in the sport after learning alot from your first DZ. Change is a good thing because it forces us to grow and learn that one way of doing things isn't the only way. Have fun with your new adventure & Good luck!

  3. Yeah, there be something up there.... and from the looks of all of us, He's got one helluva sense of humor! I won't clutter the lines here with abstract philosophy, but ya just gotta look around from time to time (particularly in this sport) and think: "We should be f*&#ing dead man." "Yeah, we was lucky."

  13. *** 7) No one will laugh at you for a premature deployment. [//quote] Beg to differ here. If you PULL OUT at 8,000 in a two way when your partner is expecting you to GO ALL THE WAY DOWN so you can break and pull at the SAME TIME.... You might get laughed at!

  16. 'To thine own self be true.' If it's not right, it's better now than if you have a flock of young jumpers thrown in the mill. Just take some time to stop and breath over the next few weeks. Good that you've friend close by for support. Good luck on a fresh chapter in life.

  22. I've seen this done a couple times, but it is ALWAYS a pre-coordinated event among the rest of the formation. Also, the puller needs to know the pullee well enough to know if they're going to freak in freefall (have seen guys actually try to barrel roll away after their pilot chute was out). Overall, not the safest practice in the air, but the risks can be minimized. Hearts & Minds 2 to the Heart- 1 to the Mind- Home of the Coconut Lounge, Spa, & Artillery Range
  23. Hey, life is to freaking short to be 'Normal'. First, 'Normal' is a bearing of perspective. Second, if you're happy with your life, who's buisness is it? Live it up every second you can 'cause ya never know when..... "Beware when meddling in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
  24. Isn't that what early societies based their family size / labor force? Gee Marge, I'd like to open up the west field about another 25 acres... We'll need two more boys.... "Beware when meddling in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
  25. Well, think of it this way, there is always a good beer. Just don't get the bottle mixed up in those late night feedings! On the lighter side, a few more years and you can teach her to pack for ya! "Beware when meddling in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
