  1. OK, I gave the milk lobby a try this morning, and was impressed with the results. It will take some getting used to the different cooking temp and time. I'll give the tsp. of water for each egg a try tomorrow. Thanks, 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  2. Thanks for the awesome input. I only have skim milk in my bus, so I guess that's a pretty good cross between milk and water. I'll report my findings. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  3. After 8 years of only a microwave to cook with, I now have a propane cooktop in my converted diesel pusher bus. Growing up in the Deep South, and spending a good bit of time in Waffle Houses, I have experienced some of the best scrambled eggs on Earth. This morning I managed to scramble two that were pretty damn awesome themselves, but I feel as if I may be missing something. I'm beating the eggs until one consistancy and color, and throwing a small hunk of real butter in the pan first, then watch carefully to avoid making any of it turn brown. Medium heat and work the eggs with a small spoon until all the 'shiny' is gone. While they are great, anyone got any input to make them even better? 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  4. It was also the wrist watches/wear and modern door hardware that blew it for them. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  5. Yeah, I remember when you first offered those BASE logs for sale. I bought one then, still have it, as well as the copy of BASEline that it was advertised in. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  6. Me: Depends... mangledspoon: Depends on what? Me: No, Depends diapers... 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  7. It's actually spelled "Mari's", but is pronounced "Mary's". 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  8. Eli Thompson Excellent choice. I met Eli at Twin when he was taking his BASE FJC in 2001, and believe he'll come across well on TV. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  9. spark the fucker, cue dumbhotbitch "whats that" ? nothing? pot? yes. exit dumbhotbitch, stage right, with great haste A damn fine argument for NEVER saying too much, to anyone. A very wise old bail bondsman once told me..."Son, I wouldn't plead guity to being born." I find it much easier to drift through life following these simple rules... 1. Never admit anything. 2. Deny everything. 3. Make counter-accusations. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    who's 420

    It's been rumoured that it was assigned posthumously to a guy on the bottom half of Nick's list, but I can't confirm that as a fact. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  11. Here's one of my recent personal favorites. It almost appears the subject is riding a horse, instead of BASE jumping. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  12. The last time I saw Andy McIntyre was at a Bridge Day in the late 80's, and he was living in Ohio at that time. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    TF Roll Call

    I'm rolling the converted coach out of central Colorado late Thursday, with an early Friday arrival in TF. Not sure when I'm leaving...and might just stay there for a while. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  14. http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=2&guideContext=65.1171&pmmsid=1647784 Video of the event. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  15. I just watched it on the New York channel. It was the first story, and Jeb got about 4+ minutes. Geraldo kept being his usual asshole self, but Jeb countered each jab with intelligent facts, not media BS. Good job Jeb. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  16. That makes a Greyhound Bus, any run of the mill RV or even a PortaLet a building. I ain't buying into that. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  17. The LA Fox channel just ran a teaser for Geraldo tonight. It stated he will interview the BASE jumper who tried to jump the ESB, did jump the GGB and more, without yet naming tonights guest. KKTV FOX 11 11pm West Coast time. WNYW FOX 5 6:30pm East Coast time. Your local time may be different. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  18. That looks suspiciously like a 9 cell canopy on the German BASE trophy. Cutting edge, or whuffo trophy manufacturer? 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  19. not really. officially it is a "B". At the risk of stirring up the ongoing debate on object classification... It doesn't have the "B" hazards. It does however, meet the parameters of an "S", in spite of being indoors. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  20. I'm betting on one of the "Fat Suit" makeup crew. They would have had his regular photo, as well as known down to the hour when he was going to attempt entry to the building. Probably not being BASE jumpers, they would have no sense of BASE, the idea of BASE family, and would rat him out for his own 'protection'. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  21. Quote - goofy is better than regular. Would going off in a switch stance work as well for a regular footed boarder? 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  22. Yer right. At 190' I didn't figure they were getting any action, but this is sure to give the rest of the tower management community a reason to crank up security. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  23. It sounds like some knucklehead didn't like having seven of these towers in the neighborhood, grabbed a smoke wrench, and dropped four of them before running away like a lil' bitch. http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp?S=4697315&nav=23Ku 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  24. I jumped a BASE rig at BD98, that was packed by/for someone else at BD97. It was in pretty good shape when I looked at it, but produced a slider up lineover when deployed. I landed in the river and was dry in an hour. Jay 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  25. I was 33, and the event was NRGBD 1986. I guess that means I'll celebrate 20 years of BASE on the second Saturday of October. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
