  1. in my opinion, marriage was and still is a way for a woman to survive with means for the remainder of her life, after the death of her husband/ provider. opinions are like assholes, we all have one and they usually smell like shit! peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  2. sweet jeff. you finally got your jet ride. i bet it exceeded every idea you had about what it would be. congrats brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  3. set a routine for every aspect of the jump . check your handles in the order that you will need to use them every time! if you check them out of order, stop, and start over in the proper order. this builds a repetitive motion memory, and has helped me in a couple of hairy situations. fly YOUR body, not theirs ! RELAX RELAX RELAX RELAX the more relaxed and at ease you are, the better your students will respond. would you want to be hooked up to an uptight, nervous, or angry TM ? and always think of your clients as STUDENTS ! they may just come back and start training if you treat them like they should come back! and please never forget that even if you are putting on that tandem rig for the 15th time that day, your student is there for their 1st jump. could be that the next Olav Zipser is your next student........ never get bullied into jumping in winds that YOU are not comrtable with !!! the students will wait and if you tell them your reasons for the delay, they will understand. trust me on that! peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  4. damn van broke down and i had to turn around. if you were at the HELLFISH toga party please give-up with the details already! plaese! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!! i think i missed the party of the century ! peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  5. your not the only one at home. i was 1/2 way to rantoul last night when my front end decide to start making very loud and crunchy- grindy sort of sounds. so.......... i took all back roads home and ordered the parts to fix the piece of crap. $400 and i still have to put it on! WAAAAAAA !!!!!! peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  6. i have about 800 tandems and have recieved only 2 tips $20 each, i put them both in a comunity fund jar and it got stolen. my DZO refuses to allow a sign that would read " tips, never expected, but always appreciated. he thinks it's tacky. one of the TI's would drop a bunch of hints until they would tip, but that pissed a bunch of the other instructors off too. i really don't have an answer to your specific question. but i do think it amazing that most of the service industry gets tips because it's just what you do, and i risk my life to show them OUR world and only make a few bucks. the damn pizza guy or girl makes a ton in tips. try for a small sign near manifest, it works at a bunch of other DZ's that i've been to. good luck, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  7. would that be the same as Michigan governor Granholm infering in her speach at the DNC that John Kerry would stop the flow of jobs oversea's and creating new ones also? Bill freakin Clinton is the asshole that signed NAFTA into law and married the United States into the WTO. but that blond bimbo was making it sound as if the current administration was responsible. Bush is as big a criminal as any of them, but small minds can't seem to tell that both "PARTIES" are really one and the same. all politicians seem to think that the entire nation has alzheimers and can't remember what lies and promises they fed us 4 years ago. so please don't try and spin the spin unless you are running for office please. peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!

  20. on saturday 24th of june a women named Emily was at skydive tecumseh. she was in michigan for a reunion i think, and brought her friend Sanjay out for a tandem, i think she only made 1 jump, she is a newer jumper from california who jumps at Elsinor. does anyone know her screen name on dz.com?? i was pretty busy working and didn't get to talk to her nearly enough. if anyone can help me get in touch with her , it would be very much appreciated, thanks! peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  21. hey Skycutie! you have posted 666 times, quick, post something else. you know, mark of the beast and all that. peace, brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  22. an excellent question to put out there. the question is so obvious that it seems out of place or something.... no offence intended! the man and his machine can do things that probably are illegal in some parts of the world, i'm sure glad they aren't illegal here! Rod gave absolutely the most insane and thrilling ride that i've ever had in any aircraft to date! i laughed from the instant we were in the air until it was time to get to altitude. but never, repeat, never felt that Rod ever put his passengers , his crew or his machine in danger! that which is in the past has to stay exactly there in order for us to move forward. please come back and play with us Rod you are definately missed! brent *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  23. and i forgot to add, IT was very niiiicce! sorry chrissy, you did however, bring it up. love , brent ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  24. i'm the person standing the closest to the " Boob incident", and i will positivley report that the "Boob incident" only improved the overall Toga atmosphere! peace, brent H.F. #49 *** ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
  25. i just got home from Nate Gilberts funeral, and if i took anything away from there, it was that if there is even a fraction of the people at my funeral that feel the same way about me, then my life will have been successful! it is said that imitation is the highest form of compliment, i will attempt to immitate the simple grace and manner in which Nate affected everyone that spent time around him. i have no doubts that i will fail misserably, but i will do it anyway! peace, brent ~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!
