  1. I had one...the hardest part of having one as a pet was trying not to sling it off when it sunk it's teeth into my hand...often. It died...I think it caught something from me! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  2. Try a rifle with a scope. After some practice, you won't be missing anyone! 359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  3. I lived in PC for two years in the early 1990s, so I will echo the above post as being correct. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  4. I'm glad to see Eric made the flight sucessfully. I met him at the 2007 Go Fast Games at The Royal Gorge, and he's a genuine, no BS kind of guy. Congrats Bro! BASE359 PS: IT'S LOUD! "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    Pirates

    It seems a logical solution to the modern pirate problem has been lost in history...recent history. During early WW2 when solo cargo ships were being picked off by the German submarine Wolf Packs, the Allies began to run ships in large convoys...with protection on the edges. If the modern shipping companies would join forces and run their ships in convoys with one fast attack boat hiding on the far side, any pirate vessel who approached a convoy ship could be quickly turned around, repelled and/or destroyed.

  6. Actually, the first 'gateway drug' most American children experiment with is tobacco or alcohol. Then the children think..."Hey, my parents lied to me....this isn't killing me! I wonder if they lied about anything else?" Which leads to the kids trying all sorts of things. Please, rise above the igrorance!

  7. Yeah, the C130 was a unique jump ship. You were handed your seatbelts outside of the aircraft, snapped them around you, then clipped into the floor. After takeoff (less than 60 seconds) you unclipped, and passed your belts to the sides, where they were stowed against the walls, It was really humid in Quincy that summer (any summer) and frosty air poured out of the air conditioning vents overhead. One of the flight crew stood in a small cage right on the edge of the tailgate, not wearing a rig. When we turned on jump run, he called out..."20 way" and the first of many group launched from the tailgate. Then..."15 way"...a pause then "25 way"..."20 way"...on and on until the plane was empty. I was on the first load it flew at the FBC, and that first jump run was a tad high on speed. Leaving the gate you'd hit that void, then be hit with a a terrific wind blast. There were so many jumpers on the line of flight, that when tracking away on that line, you may pass another jumper at a different altitude, going the other way!

  8. I was just gonna say that the first FBB at Quincy was in August 1986. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  9. Aw Andy! You fuckin' pussy. Your stock just went to shit. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

  11. Although the style of post would lend some clues, it comes across like that clown who 'killed' himself on the BASE Board. Sad. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  12. Gary Busey. You want to look like that? Nuff said. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

  15. Probably not a Strato Cloud, The early 'cast iron' Clouds had detatched stabilizers. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  16. Hey Roger...just pull a little high...the hot rods will be on the ground in less than 2 minutes, leaving the whole DZ to you. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

    Northern Lights

    I prefer Northern Lights #5 BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  18. This kind of thing will continue until someone has had enough, and culls a few fund managers or CFO's who feel they will get away with it...and can screw the little guy. (Who built the company) I won't miss those thieving bastards, and look forward to photos of them in cuffs, or with their melons split open, in all the papers and on net sites.
  19. It became a sport for me when I was invited to compete in the IPBC Tombstone Challenge in the late 1990s. There were soon competitions in California, Idaho, and West Viginia as well. Until then, for me, it was just for giggles. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  20. [/url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080923/ap_on_re_us/plane_found[url] Anyone remember this fellow from Perris around the turn of the century? RIP Bro. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"

  22. Hey Skratch, I'm sure you're thinking of "The Mighty Quinn" "When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody gonna jump for Joy" So I guess that leaves the question, do you know Joy? BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  23. At this site? I don't see ANY ads. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  24. Finally interpreted - Joe Cocker at Woodstock For those of you who were stoned during the sixties (or are still are), I know you've probably been wondering what old Joe was singing...here it is at last! http://www.youtube.com/v/T4_MsrsKzMM "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
  25. I've been diagnosed with degenerative joint diease in all three sections of my spine, in addition to the pain of arthritis in my right wrist and both ankles. Over the last few years, I've taken THOUSANDS of dangerous perscription drugs, but have settled instead for an herbal method approved by the good folk of my state. On occassion I will still need some pain meds to manage my pain, but I'm usually good to go with the natural route. BASE359 "Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything"
