  1. Cool.. Thanks for the info.. I will look into a Protrac or something that allows me to download into the computer & print...You would think that loging wouldn't be a big deal, I find the simplest things to be the most challenging.. What the f----, priorities....
  2. So I have this problem of not loging my jumps. I would assume this just slows down the process of getting my B & C license. Oh, well.. Anything else bad as a result?
  3. Hey dumpster.. I remember when you got the cast off. Hope this weekend is sunny..
  4. Finally jumped this Sunday. After recovering from a broken leg. It has been since November. Was kinda nervous @ first. Just like riding a bike. NO Big Deal. I wore a splint to help with the landing. Good idea, the leg has been a little sore. Ready for next weekend. Yahoo....
  5. I broke my fib on Dec. 5th. Got the cast off a few couple of weeks ago. Still working on the muscles. I am going to wait a couple of more weeks. I have decided to use a splint for the first jump or so just for some extra support. This should help me out mentally. Can't wait to get back on the Moto-X cross bike also, this is how I broke the leg. Not jumping.
  6. I really appreciate all the input..I will continue with the homework before signing anything.
  7. Democratic Republic of California !! That sounds correct. I don't agree with most in this state currently. They wanted Kerry for Pres...idiots. I am from Ohio originally.
  8. Has anyone had to close a business & still owe the State Board of Equalization a lot of money. I am thinking of hiring a "debt Resolution firm" The firm wants power of attorney of my corporation. Does this sound correct? I would like to handle things on my own. Any suggestions?
  9. That sucks. I broke my leg this last Sunday in a motocross race. I am totally bummed that I can't jump just like yourself. We are both in the same situation. If I am careful no Surgery.. "Be Carefule Dude"
  10. I didn't even think up the upsizing thing. I have about 120 or so jumps about 80 with a sabre 170. I will definetely upsize just for lack of experience. One of my clients is a othorpedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine. After going to the office for a check he suggesting joining a gym & start working out immediately. Working out & breaking a sweat sends signals to the injured areas. All in all it helps the complete healing process. This was a new learning curve.
  11. Just passing the story along. I had to read it again. LOL
  12. For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know. I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number, and dialed it. A man answered saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Fred Hanifin, could I please speak with Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number, and called her. (I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number). After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an asshole!" and hung up. I wrote his number down, with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple ofweeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him. He'd answer and I'd yell, "You're an asshole!" It always cheered me up. When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the caller ID program?" He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!" So, one day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some boy in a black BMW cut me off, and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number. A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole (I had his number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW asshole, too. I dialed and someone said, "Hello? I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?" "Yes it is." "Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front." "What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Don Hansen," he said. "When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home every evening after five." "Listen, Don, can I tell you something?" "Yes?" "Don, you're an asshole!" Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea: I called Asshole #1. "Hello" "You're an asshole!" (but I didn't hang up.) "Are you still there?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling me," he screamed "Make me," I said. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Don Hansen." "Yeah? Where do you live?" "Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house with my black Beemer out front." He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers." I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole." Then I called asshole # 2: "Hello?" he said. "Hello Asshole," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll what?" I said. "I'll kick your ass," he exclaimed. I answered, "Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now." Then, I hung up, and immediately called the police saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then, I called Channel 13 news about the gang war going down on West 34th Street. I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th St. There, I saw two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of 6 squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew. Now, I feel better.
  13. After hearing this & dumpster with all the hardware I don't feel as bad yet. If I am really careful no surgery. Surgery would really set me back financially. I have no insurance. Oh well we all work this shit out. I really am anxious & impatient, would like to rip this stupid boot off & go jump......
