LOL, that was great and thanks for including me. And we're back!

Yes

JP had a battle with some inner demons and didn't win. Took his own life.

Ah ok, I'm already there. Thanks!

I just went through all mine, and man, I really wish I could save them to a text file or something. I clicked on all the option links and didn't see a way to download/save them all only bulk-delete. Really makes me sad to read the ones from Deuce and Holly and Shannon and I'd LOVE to save them. If you know a way, holla back!

Also, is there a dz.com facebook group? I'm a member of several skydiving groups on FB, but they're all related to a dropzone or location. I'd love to stay connected to the many friends I've made on here that I haven't already connected with. Or even Discord? Its free. I can create multiple channels and even have voice channels, for those that want to chat in real-time. I can even server-boost it.

You rang? Man, I love seeing the old names and friends showing up in here. I think I might have my second-longest post streak in like 20+ years on this site. @Sebazz1, I'm in the same boat - but I just left my rig at the drop zone since they were using it for rentals and I was getting free jumps from it. Maybe someday they'll let me use it again. But yeah, kids and other life events caused me to quit. I think my last jump was 8-9 years ago too. I have to look at my ProTrack (after I change the battery). 2 kids and a move to Oregon, I think I'm done for now. Maybe next year when the oldest kid turns 18, if he wants a tandem, I might join em. Lummy!! Where's Gary at?

Again?? Didn't you sell the site once before at least one time or was that just a change of managment? Maybe it will come back to you at some point. However it's great to hear from you @sangiro!

Fuck, I miss that guy.

Oh wow, I didn't know you two hooked up...like for reals. :) Happy Anniversary!!

Yo!! Checking in. Been a couple years, I reckon. Glad to see some familiar names on here still. Yeah, I'm friends with a lot of you around the early-2000 timeframe in FB. I think right after my second kid was born, I slowed down jumping a bit, and last year moved up to Oregon. I went and said goodbye to my (almost 16 yr old) rig at the dropzone. Been a few years since I've jumped - maybe 5. Still think about the sport occasionally and maybe I'll jump back in to get my POPs badge in a few years before it's too late. And YES! looking at preview - even though my profile still shows no profile picture, it looks like @sangiro has kept I think the only animated profile icon on the system. Go Beavis! Butthead: Whoa!

That was hilarious! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

That definitely looks like Bay Area Skydiving in Byron, CA. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump

I went to Norway earlier this year and this was one of my gripes. I only used my BofA debit card and it worked at all places, but you have to get used to the system. You see after swiping your card, the screen will ask you if you have a PIN (COD in Norwegian) and you just hit cancel (Red button) and it will then do a regular CC purchase versus a debit card. You then sign the slip and you're done. I was too charged fees from BofA, but thankfully, I was reimbursed from my company. When I go back there again, I'll probably do the same thing. The exchange rate booths charge really high fees and you have to cash in like $500 USD to even make it worthwhile. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!
