Jolly Green (the Giant) Thanks for your attendance record on every pass through,mike, thanks for the tour of the gun museum, thanks for the Baboons, the naked girl photos, the beer, and lets not forget the trips to NC strip clubs where not one single girl got naked (what the hell was that? A bathing suit contest?) My door is open to you sir, in Norcal.

Same address, pretty girl. Ive just got to shake the mothballs out. Look at the bright side. Youll be spared my involvement with the naked jump off the "coke bottle" in Ga. Dont be a stranger, If you hit Norcal, you now have another crash pad. Thank you again SO much for the video. Youre a doll Dennis

Cool, man. Thanks. Youll be bringing your rig along??????

Have an unstable schedule, but last trip is pulling through both places. If I dont blow my time in twin, then I should have extra time in these areas. Not to be a bother, anything going on? Thanks...

So Sad . I never got to do the pretty looker naked. Probably for the best considering the complicated logistics of figuring out how to climb that pipe to the exit without being "behind" anyone else. At least it spares poor molly my naked-ity. Grab baxter and come through Norcal. I promise you Mecca. I promise you legendary hospitality, brothers. Ill be using free airline tickets to still travel so dont discount my presence yet in ATL. Cya man. PS. please ask Davidek to pay his engine shipping bill before I get pissed off. Thanks.

Nick, I always thought, even before I met YOU, the way you integrated common sense, clear thinking, historical perspective, and great humility a classic design for the penultimate BASE leader. A model which is exactly lacking in those current leaders who so elect themselves to this position. Nick for President!!! All hail Nick!!!

Sorry, not ditching the logo. Its too good a picture. Anyway, its a local trucking job with the same company. Dont worry about Davidek. Ill cover his bill in full. Clearly, he and I need to have a little talk.... Man, please stay in contact. And take good care of yourself, the dog, and whats her name

The sad day has arrived..."where the sidewalk ends". In one week I will be rejoining the Norcal crew (hide yer women and yer objects) due to my picking up a salaried local 9-5 position and will be coming off the road for now. Knowing me Ill likely be back reasonably soon , but for now a change of pace. For those of you who actually know me this is "breaking back against the wave, heading out for a new wave before the old wave hits the beach". To all the crews Ive jumped with on the road, and to all the solo backroad jumpers Ive run into; Thank you Very, vEry, veRy, verY, VERY, (very) much for the access to objects and good people in the past 6 years. Your hospitality has been legend. You constitute the non ego, non commercial, base jumping brotherhood who jump for the jump, and for nothing else. Thank You

I wish brother, I wish. You know you are welcome in my neck of the woods, anytime, for any reason, man. You did get paid in full for that engine, right? cya brother,

Nope. No regrets from BASE at all....

Awww. Blair. Im not from all over. Im just hung over. Without any help from you two... Ill never regret BASE, ever. It has given me so much without taking anything from me yet (except a good friend) that WHEN the time comes that it does; well, itll be ok. In the realm of spirituality, there typically is the concept of "owing for the flesh", that you must pay for being alive and conscious, for experiencing joy and happiness.....I owe BIG. As do we all........

Damn, Robbie. You should have called me. I would have given you some wakeup secrets. You might even be in the neighborhood.

The "characteristics" or elements of which you speak are automatically built into the pc charts offered by manufacturers when they advise you on the use of their equipment. The manufacturer boils it down to something simple for the consumer. Asylum/CR advises: 0-2 seconds-46 inch pc 2-4 seconds-42 inch pc 4-7 seconds-38 inch pc 7+ second delay 32 inch pc Each manufacturer knows the construction of their pc's and the weight range of the canopies they produce and all factors to be considered for their equipment recommendations;for the consumer it is just a consideration of PC sizes, no manufacturer complicates customer communication going into the detail.... Each manufacturer has their own recommendations; hence alot of the differences you are seeing. And then some people do their own thing, which works, apparently, well for them (as their choice, at their risk). Going stowed from 300 feet for example. 42 in pc are easier to pack stowed then a 46 (manufacturer recommendation) so alot of people haul off a short stowed delay with the 42. Seems to work fine. YMMV.

I think two people own the video. The person who shot it. And the person who is in the video. Reciprocity, respect, and courtesy go a long way in a community of individuals...

A once in a lifetime accomplishment, unique and enduring, a high ranker. Congratulations!

Not to mention the fact that 95% of the people who build your pilot chutes dont have either a senior or master rigging license, arent under direct supervision during pc construction, and 10 minutes earlier couldnt even sew a button back on....

Whenever screwing is going on, regardless of who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing, always a discussion of the RH factor arises. If it exists, the fruits of your labor will likely come out messed up. If it doesnt exist, likely your children will be healthy and happy and successful. Since its something in our blood, avoiding it is difficult, and having healthy offspring becomes a function of testing for the existence of this negative element. Also, open and free discussions on any topic, can at any time be held over on blinc, where Sangiros do not exist to modify or stop pertinent topical discussions amongst the members of our unique group. "The only political freedom capable of enduring is one that is so pruned as to keep the rich from denuding the poor by ability or subtlety, and the poor from robbing the rich by violence or votes."

The article you analyzed also mentioned the effect of body heating on endocrinal homeostasis, resulting in a change in hormone levels in the body. Theoretically causing weight gain, mood shifts, and other tangible medical problems given long term exposure. Presumably minimal with an hours exposure (climb) and of temporary duration (until homeostasis is reacquired in body chemistry). Also, with a background in electronics, I can say that "arc-ing" is one of the last things you want going on in an electronics environment, as this production is adverse both to signal integrity and mechanical longevity. Design should preclude significance. Tower equipment should not be doing this to any significant degree, or immediate service would be indicated. At least Navy equipment was designed where "arc-ing" was in no way a factor, and x-ray production from an electronic source was of so negligible an amount as to be unmentionable if not impossible. Most electronics with this kind of potential are shielded, to protect not only technicians but also circuits. EMF pulses will knock out electronics. Also, Electrical "arc-ing" produces bursts along the entire spectrum of electromagnetc energy, including heat and light and all ranges of Radiofrequency energy, including X-rays. X-Rays being only a small percentage of the energy budget produced, and the total energy produced by arc-ing would be dwarfed by the frequency that the equipment would be designed to emit. Hence maintaining that intended frequency as the primary hazard. Lastly any X-rays being produced by jumper proximity electronics would not only be in all frequencies but would also be omnidirectional in no way focused on the jumper: further reducing its adverse effects. Most heavy transmitting equipment is in the building at the base, not on the tower itself...soooo... Anyway, thanks for the analysis of the article you posted long ago. Appreciated.

Thanks very much for the great hospitality, H.F. I appreciate it.

Wooo Hooo!!!! GFD!!! YaaaaaaaaaaaYYYY!!!!!!.............................. Who's GFD? ............ ...And my Sleeper berth is wide enough, Ted, no one needs to give me a bigger one. As a matter of fact, yawn, feeling a little, you know, sleeeee-pay...if ya know what I mean. Must be all this GFD talk, cuz it sure aint you.....

She already knows we're trying to help you, Tom. A Cerulean is a powerful creature. Many people are trying to help you. The power of your intelligence is too valuable to lose, but if you insist on being lost, it is your choice. No one is trying to omit you, people will like you just as much if you just are you. You dont need to buy the tom aiello channel. You dont need to buy friends. You just need to relax. People dont like you because you make them like you, they just like you. You dont need everyone to like you, you just need to like yourself. When the little brats made fun of you long ago, it was your intelligence that saved you, that took you away...We are sorry for that very much. But now its time to come back. Let go of the past.

I agree. Tom has no sense of humor, no sense of esprit de corp, no sense of family. He does not understand "core". Sad. Thats ok, we'll love each other anyway. I assume tom feels left out, so....TomAielloTomAielloTomAielloTomAiello.... See Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

YaaaaaaaaY!!! Bonfire!!! We get the Bonfire!!!!!...............Whats the bonfire? This was fun. Happy fourth everyone. Normally, I have to drive, post, and jerk off all at the same time...but tonight im in a hotel room trapped in alabama with beer...so for once Im not driving. WoooHooo, Bonfire!!!!! Who's tOm aIEllo? (falls over)..........

um. Thank you Avery.
