Glad you're ok, once you're fixed up go take an MSF course...then take the advanced course. http://youtu.be/zhS71HIJj-w --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Are you a lawyer or a car salesman? I cannot quite work it out from your avatar? Is this your place or a public forum? He's not the one posting blatantly false info with no fact checking...take a deep breath, try again later. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Into your container... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Are they only using BMI as the indexing factor? My BMI is 39 (which is well within the "obesity" range) but I am far from obese when viewed from the aspect of bodyfat percentage and health. Then again I like to "pick things up and put them down." (That's 545lbs, I pulled 560lbs after that). --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I'm also an avid reader and my transition to ebooks was nearly 2 years ago, having been a hater before that. The biggest advantage I found first is the ability to buy a new book immediately when I finish another. The second advantage I've found are the multitude of self-published authors who have great stories. White Flag Of The Dead is one that made it to dead-tree edition from e-book only recently that I loved reading. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Well, in case anyone was wondering, there's only one POV that matters. Mine. AD is wrong. IBTL IBAD Hahaha! --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

If any thing we've seen in the reactions to this thread that it is a very personal journey. I didn't go through a quitting phase, I said I'm done and I was done. Any of you out there that quit notice the price for a pack now? Holy crap I'm glad I'm done with that! --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

There is no such thing as an ex-smoker, just someone who isn't smoking then. That person is a single puff away from smoking the rest of their life. My last cigarette was July 4th 2009. Even now I'll have a random craving, but the pull isn't as strong cor nearly as often. Actually I'm really happy that I quit and that is reinforced every time I'm around people smoking. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Seriously, Flash needs to go the f away. It is a menace to society. Can someone explain to me why so many photographers still use Flash for their website and why do they have to play music? I don't get it, there is never a good reason to auto start music on a website (or video for that matter) and there are better options out there than Flash for cool design. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

It's the new Marfa Lights... I'm not going to lie, there are days where selling off a bunch of stuff and buying a bunch of desert for nothing around Marfa/Alpine/Terilinga sounds like a great idea. Maybe I just love going to Big Bend too much. I'd like to buy the old AFB at Pyote, TX, and open a DZ: Pyote Parachute School. Nah, that doesn't have a ring to it. Maybe I'll name it for the next closest town: Pecos Parachute School. Ahhh....much better. I know where you can pick up a 182 on the cheap...you're on your own for the chickens. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

When setting up a curved speed course, I did something very similar. I would take one of the long tape measures I had for the distance course and use a tent stake to place the pivot. I would then walk the arc with the known distances I needed for the inside and outside gates, marking the spot with ground spray paint. Then drill the hole in the ground for the dowel and set the blade or noodle after marking all the locations. Doing it in this manner takes setup time and cuts it by a third. That pivot location is a great place to set a camera for timing and coaching debrief. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Pffft. That second pic could have been lower. He didn't trust his rears. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

At first I was laughing because I read it as "Atair" but then I saw what you had actually said. I get it, but my first computer was an Osborne executive, followed in a few years by an apple IIgs. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Especially when you have vehicles like the Jetta TDI getting incredible gas mileage for a fairly low purchase price. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I remember reading about SMS messaging back in the mid/late-90s and thinking "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, why not just call the person?" --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

also in 1974 Motorola reported disappointing sales of the new cell phone..... They should have, that cellphone didn't sell for crap compared to the iPhone. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

In retrospect it was a silly question; I should have been able to figure it out by myself! Thanks though

"John you have a phone call" That was a good team name. It wasn't "John" but a local jumper's name, so every time manifest announced the load the team name was read over the PA, paging the guy to mainfest for a phone call. Variations I've seen over the years were other plays on announcements from manifest: "10-minute weather hold" "Free beer at manifest" "Show me your tits" I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

If only they had a machine like they used to have at the shoe store where you could look in the visor and see an X-ray of your kid's feet to make sure the shoes fit. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

So i learned to just take off that period every year. In my area there is the New Years rush, the Spring Break rush and the fall semester rush. Glad to have the crowded gyms since all those membership dollars buys new equipment and repairs the old, however, I still have no qualms with helping motivate people make better choices while they're there. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Truth is that those clubs LOVE selling memberships to people who never show. It's like selling a 1000 seats on a B737 and only a dozen actually show up for the flight. And for those who show up? Plenty of legroom. That's a gym's bread and butter. A buddy said he wanted to open a gym called "Resolutions." From Jan 1-March 1 it would be a fitness facility where you could buy a membership. From March 2 - December 31 it would be a bar. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

My wife and my kids had to check on me because I was laughing so loudly. "If this was the place to do bicep curls it would be called the rest of the gym." --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Have you watched the videos on EliteFTS' youtube channel? --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Well, I am a stupid meathead. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
