Yep, that's right, the venerable Ratboy is retiring...at least from the only real job he's ever had To celebrate we are having a weekend long party in conjunction with another Raeford big way weekend. If you were around in Oct, then you know what you're in for - PLUS one heck of a party (read Kegs of beer and plenty of food). Dates are April 4th, 5th and 6th. More details as we get closer, but if you want in, let me know. We have two planes now, but if I get enough pre-committments, we'll bring in a third. Come help Ratboy celebrate!!!

Rumor is that Paraclete now has 3 porters. I've seen two but I do not know their status. Scars remind us that the past is real

you need another poll option. Definitely not once a week, but more than rarely. Scars remind us that the past is real

Some of us just write "Please DO NOT SEND magazine" on the renewal notice. I find it hard to justify killing trees to look at something that is 65% the exact same every month. I haven't missed it yet

I'm of mixed opinion on these sites. no mixed opinion here, I hate it. Scars remind us that the past is real

OK! Notice how you are the only person standing in the room? Just because there are some of us on here that do not post in this thread to save our sanity, it does not mean that Hook stands alone on this. Scars remind us that the past is real

You would think so if you watch some of the AFF evaluators that have been working with some of us on the DZ... You tap the altimeter too hard - they tumble. You give the wrong signal, they tumble. You shake too hard after exit - they tumble. You redock to hard - they tumble. I swear - they need to learn to skydive... Scars remind us that the past is real

I just looked at one today!!! I kind of like the Marmot +15 one though - only 1 pound and in the stuff sack it is TINY! Next up is a good tent. Scars remind us that the past is real

what about us poor sods that have to teach you guys? Scars remind us that the past is real

that is what we are supposed to come up with... Scars remind us that the past is real

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJkUdIkoTCA It's a little over 9 minutes long. If you have time, take a look - I'd love to hear what you think. As I said in the subject line, I'm just throwing it out to see what pops up. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

Wait until he figures out that blowing stuff up is as much (if not more) fun than building stuff. Scars remind us that the past is real

eh? Its up to 75 in Raeford today...

who said I was wearing a jumpsuit? Scars remind us that the past is real

okay - WHO let the cat out of the bag??? I kept it as quiet as I could... And today was good - 4 jumps, one ended with me doing about 30 mph down wind... (tumble, tumble, tumble...I'm going to be sore tomorrow). Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys.

I had to google what the heck Tekken meant - but yeah - pretty good description. It was a blast and I can't wait until the next one

hey - the more you guys pack - the less I have to pack. Scars remind us that the past is real

just asking a question. my guess is the jump numbers need to be updated. Scars remind us that the past is real

Question for you and some one else above that said almost the same thing: You say you have jumped the nitro 135 for 600 jumps and your profile says 680 jumps. So did you start jumping it at 80 jumps (30 more than the op)? or are the jump numbers just not up to date? Scars remind us that the past is real

I've jumped a 190 in all three and found the fusion to be the softest opening of the bunch. It is very forgiving to packing mistakes. The fusion was also more on heading at opening. In terms of performance (turning, flaring, etc.) I found them all to be similar. You won't go wrong with any of the three in my opinion. Scars remind us that the past is real

You can add raeford to that list now as well. Scars remind us that the past is real

I dunno. Ian is now off the market and crushed Blaine's hopes and dreams. Congratulations Ian!!! What they hell were you thinking Annie?!?!?! I thought it was his two sizes too small swoop pants... Scars remind us that the past is real

Now get him to do that with a pumpkin on his head... Scars remind us that the past is real

Do you have your own gear or are you renting gear still? Scars remind us that the past is real

well - I have a three legged dog here that ate a bunch of E-thread today while I was making wheel covers. I'm expecting her to shit pre-wound bobbins all night... most likely in my face while I'm asleep. Scars remind us that the past is real
