I like mine

I'd prefer one that said
"Fuck you , you stupid, non-skydiving asshole! I'm better than you because, you're not as cool as I am. I skydive! Loser! You don't even know what WhuFFo means, Douche."

Think that'll fit on the shirt?

I drove to Ck this weekend.
Jumped their otter. It was a decent place.

I hope that its a cool dz and that I can find some family there.


The ranch:
Been trying to jump there for 16 yrs.
I gave up. EVERY time I was in NY the weather sucked.
(I grew up in NY and traveled back almost yearly)
Maybe I'll get up there, but, If I am going to drive 2-3hours I'm going to visit my sick mother instead of jumping.

Mesquite is the only place you'll need to go, if you're looking for a family.

Perris/snore/eloy are all obviously great dz's because they are huge operations. Mesquite will keep you coming back because of what it has to offer.

I'm starting to look into flights to get me back home!

I intend to be there for the january boogies!

Rich,
When I drove through in July, I absolutley loved the vibe of your dz.

I live in Mt holly NJ right now. I may get back up there.next summer. I'd live to stop in again.

Thanks everyone.

Melissa,
I will eventually check out some other dz's but, I live 32 miles from CK. 90 miles from skys the limit.

Both are relatively close so, I'll be checking them out.

Thanks.

OK, so, I've been here for a few months and I am 32 miles from Cross keys. But every one I talk to (in real life; not websites) says X-keys has gone down hill.

Something about FAA fines/maintenance. Anyone have any light they can shed. I am looking to go skydiving and find a home.

Its hard to beleive that a place that is 5200-14,000ft MSL is flooding.

I figured gravity would take care of that.

Nothing looks good at 120+

I tried creating a video like that with some friends. I didn't have a hi-powered blower so I had to use water. I lost a lot of good people that day.

I'm trying to find as many good skydiving clips with good music to them as I can. Music really lifts me and if it's playing to a good skydive video then so much the better. Different types of music across the range can sound good as I'm no musical snob,

WAIT. WAIT!! WAIT!!!!!

You mean to tell me that Jeb uses a parachute?

WHAT'S NEXT? Are you going to tell me that reporters don't investigate?

I sure wish my mind was in my crotch because, it was just blown!

Ross perot's/Prince Charles' q-tip?

Good for you. Welcome to the sport. A lot of very pretty women have had to pick their way thru our macho laden DZ's. Wishing you all the best in your endeavors.
Yea but what do you know about hot women in the sport?
Did you dress up in drag and experience it for yourself?


Oh, right. Your wife is hot.

Cruise down to Cross Keys. The otter is there from Saturday thru Wednesday.

The fun news is that I jumped Sussex. It was a great time. even though it was 160miles out of my way. I jumped Long Island yesterday, also.
10 states/8 days.
8 NEW states, 9 NEW dz.

That was a fun way to get reacquainted with fun jumping.

Lucky,
I'll be down in cross keys soon. (3 weeks ish)

Skydive Jersey shore is the most unprofessional disorganized attitude having DropZone I've ever been to. I got a refund I'm not jumping this place. After coming so far and almost jumping at 10 states in eight days I'm giving up on New Jersey because of this place.


Gabby, the Manifest girl, was delightful and informative.
Currently, right now, they are having staff issues of some sort.
Then I received major attitude from the person who is trying to manifest me when I asked him about it.
Little did he know I was willing and looking to become a part of the solution.

Little does he know that I was about to start bringing 5 to 10 jumpers out there right really per month.
Shitty attitude just caused His boss all that business.

That would be 8 states in 8 days. 6 that I have not jumped in, previously.

I wish I was able to hit illinois but, had to keep on driving.
(I thought I jumpedin Co this month but my last jump was 29 june, or it would have been 9 states)

Ok, I've been able to jump in 4 states in 2 days...so far.

SD Kansas (kansas) Very cool place. Thanks Jenn and Jeremy for getting me on the 1st load. I forgot some names (and my log book is packed up) but I did a 2-way with a newly recurrent jumper.

SD KC (actually in missouri) Another cool place. Thanks for Dani at manifest and Steve H for getting me on the next load. Thanks to Dave for the sit fly.

Explore(jerry's circus) (indiana)
VERY LAID BACK and friendly DZ. (BTW- he's not opposed to dogs you just have to talk to him first. if they're mongrels he'll remove them.)
Thanks Dick (DZO), Gary(pilot) and Joe (2-way) for the Skydive.

Start (ohio)
Made my first resting point.

Thanks phreezone and (my cousin)Kristi for everything.
did two very fun jumps.


Im HOPING to jump in Maryland and Pennsylvania (before thursday)
SD Deep creek
chambersburg

Then, I hope to get a ride in either Xkeys or Jersey shore on thursday.

I drove about 1600Miles so far...


I DID STOP by SKYDIVE GREATER in Kankakee, ill. and had a beer with them.
Thanks Larry and Brad from SD Greater.
And Jeff, Nate, Jody from Illinois skydiving center.


I was completely bummed that I had to drive on. I really wanted to get in the air.

I wouldn’t mind Silva losing if he actually fought, this wasn’t even a fight. One guy was joking around and the other guy was trying his ass off to beat him. The guy actually fighting beat the guy joking around.

I think Silva is bored. How many guys did he absolutely dominate? Not just win but own.
The punch wasn’t even a punch, my first thought was wow I wonder how much Silva got paid to take the fall, but the replay shows he was KOed. Shitty way for it to end, and a shitty fight.IMO

I agree. It's a shame for Chris that he had to win like that but, He still won.
Hopefully, the rematch will give chris the opportunity to defend the belt that way one should...Or wake anderson up...Again.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have one ex that when we were together I thought "this is THE ONE"... It didn't work out, and it took a long time to get over the heartache... And I have to say, even though it was years ago, I'm not totally indifferent to the news that he recently got engaged... It's not exactly that I'm surprised or upset about it... More like I suspect I probably won't feel that way about anyone again, and that is kind of depressing...

Meh... Perhaps the emotions were so strong because I was younger and you feel more passionate about a lot of things when you're younger. I suppose I should be grateful for having experienced that kind of passion at all - some people never do.

I'm still freinds with most of my Ex's. It's usually not a bad thing that we split up but its a location thing. Military life is a bitch.
There's one that I feel that way about but, sometimes you gotta deal with the things that just can't be. It sucks sometimes.

***...The only other recommendation I have: go with the 30-year loan. (Alright everyone, just hear me out!) You'll hear that it's better to pay it off in 15 or 20 years. Yes, that is definitely true. However, adding a couple of hundred dollars per payment on your own will do that, too (check your statement to see how much of your payment is going to principle, and pay at least that amount extra when you can). And, if there are times when you really need to make that lower house payment, it's nice to have the option of the lower required amount. Additionally, if you even decide to move and want to rent it out, you don't have to worry about NEEDING to collect that higher rent. If the rent covers the bills, great. If it covers the bills and allows you to put some away for needed repairs, even better. Plus, you will be in a better position to cover the mortgage out-of-pocket when you can't rent it out. Just my two cents and two points on that issue.

Can't wait for the house warming party!!

Read this again. She has a very good point.

Agreed. I couldn't imagine getting an ARM. EVEN as a military guy who'd be moving in a few years. An ARM is, IMO, a risky deal. It was designed for peoiple would could not afford a mortgage when the housing bubble was "filling up." During that phase you were SURELY going to make money/equity. Then in, 3,5,7 years you could get a fixed laon easier becasue you'd (if you were smart) ask for less than full value of the house. The bank would be more willing to finance a risky client becasue the house is worth much more than the investment.

Now-a-days an ARM is a bad idea. (IMO) I got a 30-year and I make one extra payment/year. I divide that payment up over the entire year and make a "PRINCIPLE" Payment. It is the SAME deal that they wanted to add a fee for.

Here's their scam.
I refi-d for a lower % on a 30 yr.
they called up a fwe weeks later and offered a way to pay it off in 15 yrs.

"by taking b1-weekly payments you'll actually pay the same amount but you'll pay off the loan in half the time."
That's a lie. AND they wanted to charge a fee each month for the convenience.

When you pay bi-weekly, you make 26 payments. when you pay once/month you make 12 payments.

I just added slightly more than 1/12th payment and apply it to principle only.

So, I only saw some still pictures. I'll watch tonight.

Discuss SPOILERS I typed in white so you don't easily see it
I lost track of UFC in the last few months after all my MMA friends moved away. I was tired of spending $100+ each month just to keep up.
I am not really sure who chris wiedman is. I saw him fight once before. But it looks like a decisive win. well, as decisive as a KO can be.

I unfortunately love the exact spot my apartments are in, short commute to work (less than 10 mins even with normal traffic) and 30 mins from 2 DZ's, an hour to another. Plenty of stuff around the neighborhood, so I want to stay in this area. Preferably with only right turns to get to the freeway too (that would be great).

I qualify for a VA home loan (which will guarantee 400k+ but I have no thought in my head I should even try to come close to that), great credit and a good stable job. I figure now's as good time as any.

I'm going to try to get back into contact with an old co-worker to see if I can't get her agents name... she LOVED that agent.

Talk to USAA they have a list of RE agents. they'll give you the best rates/fees

Cool!
Thanks

I drive out next friday. I hope to hit these two DZ's on saturday

Skydive Kansas
Skydive KC

I want to hit these two on sunday.
Fly Free (missouri)
Jerrys circus(indiana)

and then, i'll stop in here before going through to NJ. (I may hit CSC if they're open on monday)Start


I've receive A LOT of feed back about these DZ's. PLEASE, If one of these DZ's is NOT going to allow me to jump, please let me know. I've tried contacting all of them. Only a few replied.
