DSE 3 #1 February 7, 2008 I came to Orlando early for a biz meeting that canceled at the last minute due to weather in TN, so I'm wondering what to do in this part of town (staying for USPA General meeting). Like an idiot, I didn't bring my rig, as I thought I'd be in meetings all Thursday and Friday. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #5 February 7, 2008 I'd go with the suggestion above if you've not been in a wind tunnel, check out the Orlando SkyVenture. Of course there's one in Utah now, right? Been there? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #6 February 7, 2008 Surely you can find some nice local to loan you a rig while the poor sap is stuck at work on Thursday? Friday, of course, you'll be watching the drama at the USPA board meeting with the rest of us, right? "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

The place I was thinking of is called something white trail something. It's where all the hookers, pimps and drug dealers hang. Doesn't make any sense to me either. It's late and I'm tired and time to log off before I make a bigger fool of myself than I already have.
