Amateur. WFFC '04. 10 days, 6 jumps. LP '05. 10 days, 2 jumps. LP '06. 10 days, 1 jump. But since I can't jump right now, I know I'll do better at LP this year. I think I win, Holiday Boogie 2002, 7 days 0 jumps. Of course I had broken my wrist two days before the boogie snowboarding. Fly it like you stole it!

Start with NILIF, better know as Nothing In Life Is Free. It will help establish you as pack leader and not playmate. NILIF Fly it like you stole it!

I beleive they were renamed tunnel rat cakes. Fly it like you stole it!

LOL....I can't believe I missed this thread. Yep we did it on March 1st in Vegas and Elvis was not present. Derek has all the pics on his computer I'll go home tonight and get some moved to my computer so I can post them. Stay tuned for party info. Fly it like you stole it!

Ohhhh....that reminds me. Dave if you and Bonny need a support crew for Moab let me know, I'll have the bandwidth since Derek is doing it solo. Fly it like you stole it!

That was the plan when I was house hunting. I needed a man cave, one that I'd go to rarely and that he can go so I don't kill him. Now he has a whole basement that is kind of like an apt., it has a living room/TV room with microwave, dishes, food, mini-fridge coming soon, the rigging loft, wine cellar, and it's own bathroom. I only go down to do laundry, get wine, or something out of the storage area. Why I needed this was because we have very different levels tidy, I get edgy when the house is a mess (like it is now due to just getting back from a trip) and he like to just toss things around. Obviously this is bad for a relationship, if I don't have to see the mess I'm happy which makes us happy. Fly it like you stole it!

I would say having an account on tunnelflight is the only thing you really need. Just make sure your instructor updates your skills. Fly it like you stole it!

head to Houston, they will treat you right.....you know get you drunk and leave you in a ditch. Fly it like you stole it!

If you can travel is money isn't an issue, get some tunnel time to work on the skill/discipline you want to work on that way you have the skills to get on more loads with other people. Now I'm not saying bigways, but easily 4-6 ways belly/2-4 ways freeflying. It won't help your canopy skills, but you will be able to hold your own on a skydive. Fly it like you stole it!

TX? Fly it like you stole it!

I have a Specialized Hardrock, it came standard with disk brakes in your price range and I will never go back to V brakes, the rest of the components were fairly low end and over the last few years I've upgraded pretty much everything. The frame isn't as light as Derek's Specialized Stumpjumper but then again that bike is set up for adventure racing and was well over $1000 and has tons of upgrades done to it as well. As for disk brakes, the stopping power is so much smoother, it's like braking a car where you can modulate the braking better. Plus if you are going to ride in the mountains on off-road trails, they make life so much easier. Mud, water, dust, nothing affects them, you have the same braking power no matter how caked up your rims are. BTW...I live in CO so 90% of my riding is off road, if I'm road biking I have a Giant TCR road bike. Fly it like you stole it!

I'm not sure if it is the same everywhere, but here in CO you can go to the county tax assessors website and look at what property in the area sold for, how much tax is on each property things like that. Fly it like you stole it!

April 14th I will have had my house a year, so I know all about unexpected costs. 1st - Make sure you have an excellent inspector, and find out exactly what he will and will not inspect. Mine didn't inspect furnaces so in my contract I asked for the sellers to have the furnace inspected. If things are found wrong you can negotiate in the contract to have the seller either fix the issue or put money in escrow to get it fixed after the sale. 2nd - Find a good mortgage person, they will insure you know the costs of insurance and tax that will be added to your monthly payments. For example my loan payment is about $950 per month but with Tax and insurance I'm paying about $1150 per month. Set you monthly limit off the total payment not your loan payment. 3rd - Plan to want to do improvements. My house was great but after moving in and painting I noticed little things like electric plugs and covers painted over (one of my pet peeves) and light fixtures that were yellowed, so those all needed to be replaced. Costs after buying the house: -New Roof (found during inspection) -New Furnace (found during inspection) -New Water Heater (found during inspection) -Replace light fixtures -Replace switches, plugs, and covers -Paint -New Fridge -New Kitchen sink faucet (leaked, not found during inspection) -Misc other upgrades -Drapes (this is a big one since I didn't have any for a week ) I was also lucky in that the previous home owners had left a ton of outdoor tools, like push mower, shovels, rake, brooms, and other stuff like that which helped since I didn't have to buy that stuff. But with so many major components of the house to replace even with the escrow money there was still quite a bit out of pocket. Luckily I low balled the sellers and got a good deal on the house, plus they payed 100% of my closing costs. It's surprising though how when in the new house the furniture doesn't seem to work any more, the artwork just isn't right, ect., ect. Fly it like you stole it!

Let's see we fly in Feb 25, and our plans are to hit flyaway if they are up and running, a few shows, some clubbing and a wedding chappel. Fly it like you stole it!

Yippee....can't wait to see Kris and all the guys when Derek and I visit his Mom next Sept in Napa, checking out the tunnel is on our list of things to do, along with drinking to much wine. Fly it like you stole it!

Why do you say the city couldn't support one, is this based on the number of skydivers in the area, possible military contracts, or non-skydiver business. A little more background on your stance would be helpful. As for traveling there.....no need I have a tunnel 20 min from my house. Fly it like you stole it!

would you mind sending me your cell phone number? I will add it to my husbands cell phone directory. He will get such a big kick out of it, and he will be forever grateful. You can let your f&*(ing co-workers know you have done me a big favor, and they can kiss your A&*. The real question is can your hubby handle the naughty phone sex. Oh and ACME you can have a 3-some with Jewels and I in the tunnel. Fly it like you stole it!

Enlist the aid of a K-9, they enjoy hunting little self propelled toys. Fly it like you stole it!

Hopefully you don't have a full house watching again. Fly it like you stole it!

LOL....I must have missed the post....$50, that isn't even going to get me a quick tunnel fix. $600 now we are talking could probably finally get head down for that much tunnel time. I proudly admit I'm a tunnel whore although I prefer tunnel bunny. Fly it like you stole it!

Make sure the breeder is a good one, and just because it's cute and little doesn't mean it doesn't need top notch obedience. Don't spoil it, train it, love it, and let it know that it isn't alpha....stick to that and you will have a dog that is a productive member of society. (this goes for all dog breeds, big and small ) Fly it like you stole it!

I took Julie to new hights tonight. *3way sit fly* I could just see my co-workers now. Oh and they won't get fired, odds are I will, they are Union and I'm not, and as far as I can tell all they have to do is make a little stink about "unsafe work enviornment" or "combative work enviornment" and the non-union person is gone. Which at this point is ok with me. Fly it like you stole it!

LOL.....if they knew the shit I did outside of work they may actually have some real fodder for the rumor mill. Fly it like you stole it!

All I can say is I miss being just one of the guys in my last job where I was an engineer. Fly it like you stole it!

According to my female co-workers anyway. One of them in the middle of my employees starts yelling at me that I'm flirting with all the male employees and can't keep my pants on. Another one after that comes up to me and says it's just cause I'm "young" and in good shape that there is no way for me to not be. What the hell got into these people, I'm getting married in 2 weeks and they know it, I don't hang out with any of them and other than work where I dress way more professionally than they do, true more stylish, but I'm not going to dress like crap just to make them happy. I'm still so mad about yesterday, I left work at noon cause I couldn't stand sitting there another minute. Fly it like you stole it!
