  1. Typically, the big ways don't run on back to back loads, so I'm sure you'll be able to scrape up a few people to do 4-way.

  2. Thanks for the information! Once I get everything ready and do a few trial runs up to, but not including, putting the plate in place, I'll start having fun. Right now, it's all planning and associated busy-work. Any reason why I can't try something a bit more interesting than coins the first go-round? I'd like to use polished rocks for the first shot.

  3. If I only have red-sensitive photographic plates (PFG-03M), am I only able to use a red diode laser to capture the image? Would I need different plates rated for a different color light to use my 50mW green laser? I've got 30 plates to experiment with, so I suppose I could just screw a few up trying, but it never hurts to ask. I just hate coloring inside the lines, you know?

  4. I see a theme here . . . Turns out he was practicing in the tunnel last night, so I'm not that far off the mark, as it were.

  5. It's called Red Point. It's really classy, but pretty strict about passing their test. You can either take the test, fail and THEN watch the 45-min training film and retake the test, or just watch the darn film first and then take the test. The Climbing Place simply puts you through a practical demonstration and if they feel you're competent, they'll sign you off. Oh, and I plan on reading that story soon, I promise. I have actually had to WORK at my job for once. Quite a paradigm shift for me.

  6. Where is the second one? I'm still waiting on a reply to an email and a call from TCP I left TUESDAY The second one is in Fayetteville, down Raeford Rd, behind some carpet place. As for the email, was that the one you sent with the story?

  7. I'm sure I could arrange a few reputable climbing partners whom I would deem "safe".
  8. It may be a bit of a drive, but Fayetteville has TWO decent indoor climbing gyms.
  9. Brandy, for all the love you and Lee showed me on those rare occasions I made it out of my cave and came to visit at a few boogies, I hope you know that my heart and soul go out to you and to Lee's family across the Pond. I know you have a fairly extensive network of support locally, but if there is ever anything I can do from this end of the South, please don't hesitate to ask. That monkey tried to give me the freakin' rig off his back when I chopped at the Halloween boogie, just so I could be on the Skydive Radio Poker-way dive. I still tear up when I think of how many times I told him I'd eventually make it to the Farm to visit.

  10. You can't afford what that website would cost you. POST OF THE DAY!!!! Well done Your Hotness. I dont know, though...we might all chip in and rotate IPs.

  11. I figured that since we're all dead to him, the party's off. There are a few potential surprise visits from out-of-towners for this bigway weekend/party. I'm trying to lure others in with the promises of the usual skydiver fare: humps/jumps/beer. All humping to be provided by Tony G.

  12. Perhaps that "group" isn't one that particularly enjoys having its activities pointed out to the public at large.

  13. Keep your eyes on that one. Any canopy that only gets 2-3 jumps a year will be a sweet deal when he finally admits he's done skydiving. I say we reserve at least one load for a "Parkton Refugees-way". But Larry has to find someone else to video so he can be in it.

  14. I thought there might have been a few faces from here visiting us, but I hate to barge in and introduce myself when everyone's in focused mode. I promise to be more intrusive next time.

  15. I just pictured you doing the whole "OOAUEGH!" fake vomit thing you always do. This thing is going to be pretty damn cool, especially with all of the people that plan on trying to be there!

  16. Oh man! That was YOU walking around taking pictures? I was by the windows talking with Bob, Kayla and Justin's dad. I should have introduced myself. Oh well, next time.

  17. Hey, you sure you're going to be able to make it? With your broken back, throat cancer and who knows what else are you sure you should be leaving the house? You sure you don't want us to come to your bedside? Yeah! We can have a "Squeeze Ratboy's colostomy bag for a dollar" party!

  18. Guess that thing gets in the way while you're trying to type, eh Professor Rat? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  19. Happy birthday, J. We miss you over at the other place as well. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  20. Hope you had a wonderful birthday, bubba! Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  21. That is a SkymonkeyONE-ism. Yes, I'm aware. I'm socially eclectic. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  22. I know of a few by-standers who wouldn't have minded being shown up by those two. Kayla and Justin are wonderful kids who are very polite, VERY intelligent and fun to interact with. Since you, Bob and the kids will be here on Tuesday, they're more than welcome to fly with our bi-weekly goof-off league.

  23. Kayla and Justin are AMAZING freeflyers! It was very humbling watching those two fly like they were born to it. Very, VERY cool to watch.
  24. I'm out here right now . . . where you at? What yo name is? I was out there flying my kite-board trainer kite...until I heard my hip start squealing. then I went to to the tunnel. If I'd know you were there, I'd have had Jake bake a cake. Oh, and I said that to a lady at work ("What yo name is?") and she about fell out of her chair. I tried to get some more info out of Steve today regarding Rat's big weekend, but he was on his...uh, he was sick.

  25. Interestingly enough, in the Rat-hole. It will be great to see you again, John.
