  3. I guess I dont get this post. Are you trying to make all of us feel sorry for you?? Or would it be the Mom "they wont play with me syndrome"? If you dont think you fit in, you probably dont. I smoke, drink to excess alot of the time, get up at the crack of dawn, have tattoos, I am crazy!! I dont have a canopy to pack so 10 min is out of the question. I do live from jump to jump, in my life it matters to me!! I dont have an unending source of money, but I work my ASS of to make every jump, 2 car payments, a house payment, and to support my wife and stepson. ATTITUDE??? Damn right I have an attitude!!! and my nipple rings are going to be in next week! Take this WAHH WAHH crap somewhere else please!! BTW, I dont have to "fit in" I am who I am!

  17. Hey everyone, I dont want this to sound sappy but I guess there's no way around it. For the past few weeks there have been some pretty outrageous posts in here that I have read and I'm sure most of you have too. I find it amazing that in today's rat race, rush, rush, rush world that you all have found time to help people with everything from gear selection to personal problems to contemplating suicide as well as offering a person a place to stay instead of sleeping in their car. It just makes me proud to be a member of a "family" such as this. Now when whuffo's ask me why I skydive, I'll just look at them, smile and say "Well, I'm just part of one fun HUGE family" Thanks to everyone KAI p.s, Im not a motivational speaker, I just call 'em like I see 'em There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan
  18. OMG, this one reminds me of the joke about the blonde in the middle of a cornfield in a rowboat!! TOO FUNNY!! obviously she has no common sense There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan
  19. Dove, Check with the truck stop first, that close to NYC all of them charge to park. Ive been to NYC many times in my big truck and they have very stringent rules governing parking on their premises. if you could find a rest area that may be more feasible, however the State Patrol also marks tires as there is a four hour limit on parking.

  22. I get a charcoal grill WHITE HOT, Season my strip or ribeye with plenty of Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning, set it on the grill for a minute and a half on each side, and eat it with a Ceaser Salad. Gotta have it KAI There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan
  23. I know the feeling, when i was in my mid 20's everything i bought was Tommy Hilfiger, Greg Norman or some other high end clothing manufacturer. Now i couldnt care less, just an old pair of levi's and my doc martens and im a happy camper. There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan

  25. Hey everyone. Ive been thinking of not posting this all day long, but I figured that if I was going to post about great jumps that I should post about not so great ones also. I made my TAF Level 2 jump yesterday and it didn't go as well as I would have liked. Exited the otter at 13,500 had a good first COA. 2 good PRCP's then started to make a 90 degree right turn. When it came time for me to wave off at 6000 feet I brought my left hand all the way in for some unknown reason causing me to turn over on my back. I started to panic and my JM finally got me turned over and he had to pull for me at 5000 feet. I didn't get a chance to make a left turn and pulled too low. I'm very disappointed (ok im f***in pissed off at myself) with the way I performed on this skydive. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks to mmy JM for taking some extra time in the training hangar after the jump, it helped alot. KAI There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan
