  1. Hey Nick, I'm glad you didn't succumb to the urge to get a powerplant in Nina as soon as possible, and set the Cop Kawi in her cradle. The V Twin and Hog purists would be assembling a lynch mob, or at least heating up some tar! Thanks for your help! I like 'em so much, I'm going to go buy three more cop bikes this weekend. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

  3. Not in my state! Yeah, big pharma may have me on Fentanyl and Hydro, but the medicine I can make for myself works best! And getting better all the time! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    Tax Time!

    WooHoo! This year I'm WAYYYYY below the filing threshold! It's cold here though, so I'm gonna use my tax forms and accountants packages for heat this winter. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    Taxes Suck!

    How did you think they were going to pay for the $7billion bail out. BTW- That looks like this. $700,000,000,000 Is this supposed to be seven billion, or seven hundred billion? 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  7. Thanks Nick, for including the V Twin drag bike in your pictorial! Although mine has a similar stance/profile, it seems to have sprouted a couple of extra cylinders! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    e Harmony

    It's been tough for me to find a date lately, but now even e Harmony is shooting me down. Attached is a screenshot of their rejection letter. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  10. Elle Woods took it. I think she scored a 179.
  11. Currently, no information exists in the USPA database for anyone with that name. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  12. To most whuffo's, skydiving is like Nascar...going around and around, and never getting anywhere. Kinda boring after a while...sorta like skydiving! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  13. Another one? Wow, Sugar Alpha must really not like humans! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  14. That sounds like Basler...where they turn piston powered DC3's into TUBINE BEASTS! BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  15. That timing would probably fit David. The previous owner, Steve Moran, was killed in a T28 crash in 83-84. His widow sold the bird shortly after. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  16. LOL Hmmmm, that part sounds familiar! The reason I ask is the Colorado DZ where I was flying in the mid to late 90's, sold a 207 in spring of 1997 to a guy starting a new DZ in Wis. Although it was technically airworthy, it was a real dog. I happened to be flying cross country in the same DZ's 206 late August 2000, and stopped in Fort Smith Arkansas for fuel and food. As soon as I park, I look across the ramp, and there it is! The pilot and mechanic are walking away from it with their heads held low. I walk up to them and the pilot (and new owner) says "You look like you know something" I said "I know I have a few hundred hours in that piece of shit!" LOL The expression on his face told me that wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear. When I returned from the Waffle House, they had just finished charging the battery and replaced the alternator. I sat across the ramp as the new owner tried in vain to get the finicky beast to start. After nearly draining the battery again, he jumped out in disgust and started back for the A&P shop. I walked toward him, and was within about 35 feet when he looked at me, extended his index finger boldly and said..."Don't you say a fuckin' word!" I did manage a little snicker before saying "I can start it...want me to?" He never even slowed down, just made a 180 and hooked his arm in mine. He said as we walked..."If you get it started, just jump out and I'll get it from there." I could tell he was WAAYYYY stressed by now, so I kept it light. He sat in the student position as I powered up the fuel pump and let it run until fuel pissed out on the ground. I pulled the mixture to cut off, pushed the throttle wide open and hit the starter. It went through about 6 blades, hit on a few cylinders, and as I enriched the mixture, began to run smoothly. I looked down at him, expecting to see a smile, and instead he looks at me like I'm The Devil or something. LOL So I jumped out of the seat, he lets the bird roll a few feet before taking the seat and taxiing off with a wave.

  18. Was it a rough looking old 207 with orange and white paint, and bearing N number N92807? BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  19. Well Mick...curious people want to know. Did you find Vic? 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  20. Looks to be set up for an in-air pick up. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  21. Sugar Alpha, aka The Firestone 3, was still flying when it owner, Steve Moran, was killed in 1983. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  22. Oh shit Andy, I thought maybe the lil' woman had to take extreme measures to get her point across to you again! BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

  24. Yup...150 jumpers had to exit on a single pass. But the locals that year were awesome about returning jumpers to the airport if they landed out....which happened a lot. It was great! BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  25. I still laugh when I think of people calling him Rulerhead. 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
