basehoundsam 0 #1 January 20, 2005 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. Jay Epstein Ramirez www.adrenalineexploits.com p.s. 41 days till winter is OVER, and the March Madness Helicopter/Big Wall Season begins in Mexico. Thanks to everyone who has signed up for this years upcoming Expeditions. March will be spectacular !!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basehoundsam 0 #7 January 21, 2005 Snow cones.... is that what they are calling parachutes these days in Idaho???? Jay Epstein Ramirez www.adrenalineexploits.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #8 January 21, 2005 QuoteSnow cones.... is that what they are calling parachutes these days in Idaho???? 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.....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #9 January 21, 2005 Quote...'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.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DexterBase 0 #11 January 21, 2005 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
