Some of my friends in Mexico wanna know what Tom does for a living ????

Recommended Posts

So I'm at the local DZ in Cuatla near my moms house when I hear some of my friends talking about this Tom ay-yay-ya-ellloo guy. I hear this:

"What do you think that guy does for a living????? He's like shazam on the internet....He must have some psychic 3rd sense that lets him know when naughty people are about. "
I turn around from my pack-job an remark, "I know Tom ....... he wears the hat of 'Industrial Gravity Tester' proudly."
Unfortunately the translation wasn't quite accurate, and I think a few left thinking he weighed metals for a living. Talk about miscommunications.

So here's to Tom ...................... Internet Guardian, Free-Fall Whore, and last but not least Weigher of Metals.

I hear he runs a snow cone cart in downtown Twin Falls.

Business is a bit slow in the winter.

Nope. According to Radix, they are caling them "Tarps" They come with "Yonkles" so you can "Shlare" them.


Snow Cones? Well they just call them snow cones. You know the things with ice and flavors.....:P

...'Industrial Gravity Tester'...



For the last couple years, I've reported my occupation on my tax returns as "BASE Jumper". But I kind of like "Industrial Gravity Tester" better. Maybe I'll change it this year.

I heard that too. He made an interesting comment to a few of us while holding some packing clamps... something along the lines of, "...think that's cool, you should see me in bed..."

Interesting:P

Tom, make it "Professional" Industrial Gravity Tester.

Carl Boenish said he thought every BASE jump made ever after would still, and always be, a test jump . . .
