Coffee Smuggling an option???

That right there is the answer.... you get all those hours... for "free" that many parlay into better ratings and a real job with an airline.....

I could fix that thing in a heartbeat.. but what for?? Its 4 feaking years old... opt for the new..... even if you get Win7 up.. you are still embracing old tech that will not run like a newer proc.. with more ram.... and the low end ones are cheap... If the OP has a real fondness for this particular computer.... put Redhat on it... but a new Convertible Tablet/slaptop HP with a touchscreen.. with 12 GB and a 1 TB was a whopping $649on sale at Costco.. I am very pleased with it. more so than my old I7 1 TB with 8 GB ram...17" Inspirion with a 3D LED and solid state drive.... it was big.. heavy and I gave it to a friend after I wiped it and put Win 10 on it for her and her kid. http://www.costco.com/HP-ENVY-15-Q493CL-Touchscreen-Slim-Quad-Laptop-%7c-Intel-Core-i7-%7c-4GB-Graphics-%7c-1080p.product.100283312.html

My step father was a cameraman for WBBM for 45 years and I got to meet some of the great icons over the years when I was young going to functions at the station.....Many of those people gone and others are leaving now. CBS had a group of really great journalists in those early days of Television.

It's the "new game" thread. It's like playing russian roulette for a month without anyone blowing their head off. . . I am odd. I guess. I expect things in my life to work... when they don't it is time to replace them... Best to just pass the old non working stuff off instead of spending so much time and energy..... I do that more and more as time passes... Cutting away the dead wood makes for a much less complicated s life. Today I am cutting away a "friend" hate to do it but he has the worst case of ADHD I have ever seen in my life. Friendship is a two way street. The friendship got stuck on a one way street and I am taking an exit

I can't believe this has dragged on for this long... if a computer breaks... it is time to head down to Costco Scroll to the bottom of the page...

Everyone wants them.. free of course.... not happenin... seen the price of that vintage stuff on eBay??

WOW!!! CBS News just did a one hour program on him this past Sunday. Jerry Baumchen I's tellin ya.. that retiring shit is lethal.

If you were one of Hitler's stooges, would you really want to tell him it's not going to work? Breaking my rule.... but here goes.... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Just go to Eloy AZ just south of Phoenix AZ off Interstate 10 headed south towards Tucson... they also have a rockin tunnel there too. http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/Detailed/127.shtml Or their own website http://www.skydiveaz.com/experienced Doesn't it get up to about 8 million degrees there in July? Flying in that tunnel in the afternoon must be like flying in a blowtorch! Heh heh heh It IS really nice in December! Get up early..... jump your butt off till some dust devils start popping up anywhere out in the dusty desert.... go get some food in the café...then go chill in the pool till it starts to cool off and then jump your butt off till the sunset load. Done deal

It seems to have stayed away.. I tend to skeer folks that way.. even wee little moderators.

The guy on the right seems to have done well in life....

Yea, what he said. Red Jumpsuits make you go VERY FAST!!!!!

................................................................................... After reading that study, I concluded that couch-potatoes are at greatest risk of weak bones. Even a little weight-bearing exercise (e.g. walking) improves bone density. After a basic walking program, additional exercises contribute little to bone density. I have not read thru this whole thing.. but what I did read I never saw a mention of DIET.... without the nutrients. no amount of exercise will strengthen those bones and you are in the same shape... welcome to cast after cast. Broken bones heal.... the idea is to strengthen those bones so it does not happen again. Stressing them can help but the DIET has to match up.... Foods to eat

Grimmie.. you are just pimpin for the skeeters right? They need some "new blood"

1.) If you are coming in fast.... you may need to slide or run out the landing. running shoes are far better at that than something like my Corcorans that I had a cool set of Vibrams put on... ( I loved my Corcorans since I had broken them in REALLY well and I wanted to use them on rough terrain).. but under a ram air.. as others have said.. good grip is not something you really want. 2.) Spotting is your friend... Learn to do it and you will alleviate a lot of any needed leg protection in off landing.. which still can happen to the best of us. I even had a big ole diamond back hit the upper side of the boots once... in Florida on a dumb ass load that I did not spot and had to do some significant hiking to get to a road. Choose who you jump with carefully.. even a square cannot overcome all cases of spotting dumbassery.

I started jumping in 1972... I started jumping in jump boots and later in the military I jumped my Corcorans ( jump boots) at a time when many civilians were still jumping "French Jump Boots" Cute little padded things they were. We jumped rounds.... we pounded into the ground on every jump. We do not do that anymore, ram air canopies to not deliver you to the ground in that manner. Jump boots are not needed unless you intend to land with a very heavy load of equipment that you release below you on a lanyard and then ditch your parachute gear and go fight a war. Look around at your DZ and see what the experienced people are wearing and how they are landing....buy accordingly.. I will stop there. ( Psst just in case you are thinking it... please don't..I am NOT a little itty bitty floaty butt. I have over 100 military jumps under rounds including C-9 canopies... A LOT of civilian jumps under ragged out surplus gear and many hundreds of jumps under Para Commanders and Papillion canopies. and I still have OEM landing gear without any of those fancy titanium after market parts that seem to be all the rage)

MEGA like...on that. I have watched too many of my generation pass away... some ran away into the woods and came out years later a bit more reflective... the ones who survived their isolation. Others just turned into total wankers.. drugs.. alcoholics and some of those started dying early on in the 80's. Then there were those like some of the guys I worked with who survived the war but did not survive wasting away from Agent Orange, aircrew who had flown Ranchhand. there have been a LOT of vets who just rotted away from the inside from that crap.

Intell can suck my cock. Last time I flew to work on one of their projects I drug up after. Fuck them. Is that kind of action common at the Ronler Campus?? Was clean room attire required??

I wonder if any more of them will become licensed skydivers...

I know.... Anecdotally I have known way too many that opted out in that way. I wonder how many were Vietnam Vets... Those who died over there but did not realize it till many years later. It always seems harder for those of us who knew them in better times after they make that decision. It is particularly hard for those of us who find their lifeless remains
