Cant agree with you more "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Between 7500' and 9000', it sucked big time! It finally convinced me to get a real job. "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

I'm not the only one who done that many. Another TI done the same that day, and it is not that unusual for that DZ. The record for tandems in one day at that DZ by one TI is 32 - all from a C182! "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

It wasn't poolidge and it wasn't Eloy either! "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

I did 24 tandems in one day out of a 182. It sucked. It was in Arizona so you can imagine the heat. To make things worse I had broken my ankle about 3 weeks earlier, but since i worked in the industry and i had to eat, there was no chioce in whether i done it or not. This is something everyone should think about before taking up a career in skydiving. And to make matters worse the DZO was a complete asshole, as his contribution to the day was to shout and swear at us to make us go faster. That day we also never climbed to above 9000' "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

"Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Treat women like carpets - lay them right the first time and you can walk all over them for years "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

I had one for a year and the amount of comments and sneers I had to put up with about it "not being a Javelin" Keep in mind both rigs, the TSF and the Javelin, were both designed by the same guy "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Whatever price skymama is looking for i will sell mine for half that price. I will even throw in a 15 yr old boy with strong arms and good teeth for free. I will even auction them if required and i'll start the bidding at 1 pull-up and a beer. "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Maybe to make my question clearer..... I will be in the states next month with my PC105e. Will it playback on NTSC video recorders and TV's Thanks Ian "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Does anyone know if the sony PC105 can playback/record in both PAL and NTSC format? Thanks Ian "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

I'd never seen it before on here........ "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Subject: Go Figure This is a copy of an actual letter sent to Ryan DeVries, from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. Wait till you read this guy's response - but read the entire letter before you get to the response. Mr. Ryan DeVries 2088 Dagget Pierson, MI 49339 SUBJECT: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Site Location: Montcalm County Dear Mr. DeVries: It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond. A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws annotated. The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2002. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative Land and Water Management Division ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RESPONSE: Dear Mr. Price, Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County Reference your certified letter dated 12/17/2000 has been referred to me to respond to. First of all, Mr. Ryan De Vries is not the legal landowner and/or contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. I am the legal owner and a couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natural building materials "debris." I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers? or, (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of P! art 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.3010,1 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. I have several concerns. My first concern is aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation - so the State will have to provide them with a lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harrass them and call their dam names. If you want the stream "restored" to a dam free-flow condition - please contact the beavers - but if you are going to arrest them they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter (being unable to read English). In my humble ! opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more dam right than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams). So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2002 The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then, and there will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them then. In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention a real environmental quality (health) problem in the area. It is the bears. Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! (The bears are not careful where they dump!) Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your answering machine, I am sending this response to your office via another government organization - the USPS. Maybe, someday, it will get there. Sincerely, Stephen L. Tvedten "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

you must have had a sheltered up bringing then? "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

Safer, much safer......, but you should still get your ass back over here anyway. I'm leaving soon so there is gonna be a leaving party planned soon. Gonna go and see if I can corrupt California "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"

And I thought I was sick...........Puke......... "Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off"
