  1. you have GOT to be kidding me. there are people out there who have not heard of "The WHO"??? Now THAT is sad!
  2. Okay. I can tell you right now... I will be doing this again... and again, and again. I freakin love this program. You MUST try it! I just got back from day 8. I feel soooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Christie joined with me too. It's kicking our asses! But it's so much fun!
  3. yeah, you grab a handle and peel the whole deployment bag open and then just chuck it as hard as you can and hope for the best. there is a second option for a parachute system that is deployed by a rocket. only problem is.. it doesn't work 1/2 the time. we couldn't stop laughing at this.
  4. yeah, we talked about those. we watched some sketchy ass video too of another way to learn where they tow you behind a truck. reminded me of stupid human tricks at the dz on cloudy windy days. i like the idea of learning the ground launching way by foot. oh, and hell... you should see the belly mounted parachute you wear that you hand deploy! um... NO THANK YOU!
  5. oh hell yeah! we are all bringing our camera helmets!
  6. Just got back from ground school. Sweeeeeeeeeeet. I can't freakin wait to go try this! He teaches ground launching on foot. A lot of the concepts were the same as skydiving - air foils, thermals, lift, turbulance, flaring, stalling, etc. They have a governing body too... United States Hang Gliding Association... USHGA. They even have a student manual that looks almost like the SIM and Hangling magazine. There are four levels of licensing, similar to the A, B, C, D, the hang 1, 2, 3, and 4, that set restrictions, etc on what is safe and recommended. So now I just have to find a Saturday or Sunday that we can all go. We must have been a pain in the arse class for him. All skydivers and one whuffo. The poor whuffo. Oh, and apparently swooping a hang glider is not a bright idea and is very much frowned upon. Or at least high speed swoops. I'm a rookie all over. This rocks.
  7. love robot chicken. adult swim rocks.
  8. Uh...... okay. I can give you that one. No problem. So, you like, uh, trolling little boys then, huh?
  9. My brother used to fly over the beach at Santa Cruz. Chicks can't troll the way that guys can. Sorry. ???
  10. Ground school on Tuesday. One more thing on my list........ Check! Anyone got some stories? Advice? Pictures? Etc.
  11. I freakin love my 2006 Honda CRV. It's very comfy, great ... GREAT ... on gas milage, hauls all my crap around, and looks nice too. I don't like the looks of the new 2007 - saw one out on the street tonight.
  12. that was freakin hillarious. who shot the video? you? who was the TM?
  13. sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
  14. karma is a serious bitch. the thief better watch their back. if someone starts a collection i would be more than happy to contribute.
  15. Day 3 and I'm not dead yet. Adventure boot camp is a lot of fun. I dragged a friend with me this morning which made it even cooler! The training is pretty intense and the instructor modifies the program and exercise for your level so that he keeps everyone engaged. Running, weights, circuit training, obstacle courses, pushups, situps, squats, lunges, abs, abs, abs, abs, streeeeeeeetching.... feels so good. A lot more running than I have ever done before. So for those of you who asked me for more information once I got started - this is a great way to get in shape. I really need someone holding me accountable and pushing me - this is exactly that.
  16. I love you jef! now put down the pipe and back away from the keyboard!
  17. very nice! if that is the sigma, i don't think anyone can rightfully complain about quality.
  18. I'm guessing this is the most accurate post in this thread. It goes both ways. If a woman is not interested in sex, the guy probably is not doing their job either phsycially or emotionally. Or maybe they've just let themselves go. Sad really. Those that answered that they weren't getting any should probably try communicating with their partner.
  19. Congrats Goggles! Too cool! me........ ; 0; 0 Life is getting good. Really really really good. Too windy for jumping, so we headed to Atlantic City for some poker. Had a great time!
  20. Basically I spoil the damn dog. So when I'm not giving it attention it sits there and whines. It begs too. It's an older dog. I don't think she is trainable. She's sweet though. Just a pain in my arse.
