  1. I agree with your sentiment and posts as far as dz's go...New instructors every year. How about a dz that got rid of a world class AFF school guy and advertises come jump with our new AFF instructors, look they have tits and are good looking. Now I am all for female, good looking AFF instructors but to advertise that that is what your staff is made of while the guy down the street advertises instructors with thousands of jumps and experience...you gotta wonder who is doing the marketing...a pervert???? tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  2. John lets start posting things from both sides now... Like I said in your post...how bout that stuff huh???? tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  3. Really John, The senate hasn't passed a budget in 4 years, who is not doing their job???? Who is in charge of the senate...oh wait the dem's....how bout head of the EPA using bogus emails to pawn stuff off without us knowing about it...how about 4 dead Americans in Libya and you don't care...except about milk...???? REALLY....Where are you at in your mind????? How about bitching about ethanol subsidies or whatever you want to call them...isn't ethanol a waste of energy?? Pretty sure it is... How about a debt that rivals anything in Europe?? Anything...no just milk...I have my mustache how bout you????? lt tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  4. " shot at least four times – including in the face and chest – Martinez was shot in the face, chest and both arms and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died, authorities said." So just how exactly would this have gone differently if Federico Martinez or the female with him had been armed? """' So what if the first shot hit his arm and he had a gun and the next three didn't kill him because he was able to return fire after the first shot.... That is how it could have been different. It is never cut and dried and I would rather have it and not need it than wish I had it. And when the Mayor sends his kids to a school with security but says I can't have any for my kids or myself, there is something wrong. tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  5. My turn to chime I guess... Just had radical prostatectomy at Northwestern in Chicago. Davinci robotics. I am younger than most getting it at 52 so I wanted it out. I also had a second surgery on top of this to complicate things but my prostate stuff is top notch. My Surgeon's were great and stay was minimal with top of the line treatment. Age and symptoms should dictate what you do. All my tests came back clear so all we do is test and I hope it stays away. My score was 6 also and I got it early but since it can be so invasive I said get it out like two of my brothers out of 4 and my dad. We are all doing well... I plan on jumping in the spring after Nov. 12th surgery. This is the worst thing ever for me but what ya gonna do??? Hope all your stuff works out yo. lt p.s. if you go to Elsinore give Barry a kiss and hug for me huh. He expects it... tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

  7. before you get out of the car you look down to check the spot...one of my students brought this to me. When I am out in the wuffo world I yell beer all the time when someone says its the first time...they always wonder what I mean. tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  8. "So it could include "knee flying"? I've seen video of Airspeed doing a 10-way sequential while knee flying.' Me tooo...it was cool and would be considerably different than sit flying..imho. tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

  10. I was lucky enough years ago to be able to ski the Klienasheidig,,,spelling may be wrong, which allows you to ski in the shadow of the Eiger. It was a great time for me because I love the movie...and the book the White Spider...If you haven't read it you should. Good luck with your effort. lt tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

  18. A salesman rings the bell at a house and a nine year old boy answers with a Penthouse under one arm, a glass of scotch in one hand and big joint in the other. The salesman looks questioningly at the boy and asks "is your mom or dad home?" The kid looks up at the salesman and says... "what the fuck do you think?" tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)

  20. Hey Pat and John, I need to get Bob Federman on this site,,, He would love it... lt tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  21. We teach it, does that mean that we have to do it every time??? I swoop after almost every jump but I make sure my students know what to do different than what I am doing... When they grow up it is just like driving a car...some go faster than others and have wrecks... Don't hate on me for doing what I can safely... I know you ain't hatin' but it sure feels like dislike If I see a someone driving too fast under canopy they get told about it..fer sure. tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  22. Bill, I need to get you in touch with Bob Federman. He is one of the guys that made the first jump into Hinckley dropzone way back when, was on the second 10 way ever, member of the James Gang and was the original Boogie King. The stories I have been priveleged to hear have been the best. We are lucky Bob has a whole basement filled with memorbilia and we have a heir apparent in Brian Voss who is trying to keep it all alive and remembered. If you are interested let me know and I will send on the info. You probable jumped with Bob at some point... Thanks for sharing, Tom tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  23. Since when aren't paratroopers, parachutists'??? Without them doing it then we wouldn't be able to be doing it now for imho... lt RIP Mr. Winters Sir tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  24. I would like to show you my safe, fast, long, easy swoop on my stilleto 135. It is a great canopy and when I transitioned to the velo...no problem. Now I am safe and conservative and can do very low 360 degree turns with my stiletto, but it took a while. I scare the heck out of my dzo when I come in close. The stiletto is a great canopy!!!!!!!!!!!! lt tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
  25. Why oh why does it have to be BJ... why can't it just be straight sex??????????? tom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-)
