QuoteI am always getting yelled at for having too many pairs of sneakers.
That's silly. Unless you don't have dress/formal shoes, and, then, I would understand. It's nice when a man dresses up, sometimes!

I actually do have a few pair of dress shoes and some other casual dressier. But I go through about 3 pairs of running sneakers a year and a couple casual type sneakers for skydiving. Then I have trouble throwing out the older pairs, so they collect in my closet.

Serious idea? Give them to the CReW people.
They go through a lot of shoes. Old doesn't matter to them. Most of their shoes are mismatched singles with line burns.

QuoteI seem to remember (from prior posts and discussion) that we seem to have the same taste in shoes, too!
Well yes, but for THOSE kind of shoes I like to see them on other, not wear them myself.
I do like new shoes for myself though.....

you know you're a skydiver when you are constantly staring out the window on commercial flights thinking how cool it owuld be to jump out of the jet at 35k, or you are looking for outs.
you know you're a skydiver when, you spend an hour or so making something like the attached to decorate your cube.

If someone walks up to you and calls you some kind of Monkey - and you not only Smile and toast yet ANOTHER form of beer - no matter what time it is in the morning - and there is genuine pride . . . You might be a skydiver.

I totally look out the window on airliners and pick spots where I would shoot for to land. I like to look for cool stuff to swoop, like in between buildings or numerous "swoop ponds."

Derek and I were at the ski resort this weekend and ended up riding up in the gondola alone. Near the top we start zipping up and adjusting gloves and goggles. Just as the gondola hits the top unloading area Derek yells Door.
Fly it like you stole it!
QuoteWhy do I not get the DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR one?
Ya know, the guy that opens the door or someone near him will yell DOOORRR to make sure that all jumpers are aware that the door is about to open.

You purposly gain weight to increase your fall rate. BTW, not recommended cuz it's harder than hell to take back off

In a commercial jet, you feel more comfortable sitting on the floor by the door...........
And when landing you think FLAIR!!!!!!!!
Don't go away mad....just go away!

If your heart rate is higher after seeing a cop car while doing 30 in a 25mph zone than it is doing 100-200mph outside the plane in freefall....

you're in the back of a crowded elevator and as you reach your floor you yell 'HOT!'

Two days? Saturday was nice...(except for my interesting landing). The weather on Sunday certainly sucked down there though... It looks about the same up here today..
