  1. Add me to the list. For me it was the variety of aircraft. I've jumped 25 different jump planes. 14 of them I first jumped at the WFFC. Even if there is never another WFFC, the skydiving world owes Don a mega-big THANKS ! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    Earthquakes

    Now we are talking! I wonder if they have a nice hotel in this hamlet of 18. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    Earthquakes

    QuoteUm, have you got a particular magnitude in mind? Big enough to make me say, "Damn! That was a earthquake!". I don't need to see damage or mayhem but maybe a broken plate or two would be cool. Then I am outta there! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    Earthquakes

    Say a person wanted to experience an earthquake. Where would be a good place to live? I know it would be a crapshoot as far as when, but would there be a ballpark guess as how long one would have to relocate? See it as a bucket list kinda thing.

  6. Hiya- Looking for a quick answer. What is the date of the current PRO written test? One of the S&TA's has a 2002 version. The other S&TA believes there is a newer edition. Thanks !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    Sunday yuck

    Two tall trees were growing in the woods. A small tree began to grow between them. One tree said to the other: "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The other said he could not tell. Just then a woodpecker landed on the sapling. The tall tree said, "Woodpecker, you're a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker took a taste of the small tree. He replied, "Neither. That, my friends, is the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

  8. In case anyone cares, I ended up going to Capital City, Tecumseh, and Allegan. All great places, not a problem getting on any loads. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  9. The spot is only important if you care where you land. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  10. I went to Vegas last year. Mesquite is the place to go. I also went to Vegas Extreme in Jean. It was a tandem-oriented place but they had no problem taking my money. Sin City is in the same building as Vegas Extreme but I didn't have a chance to jump there, too. I think they had a 206.

  11. Thanks !! Although setting a new world record wasn't on the itinerary for the weekend, it is great to know it is an option! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. Hiya- I'm going to be in Lansing next weekend (May 14-16). I will have some time each day to make a jump or two. Looked at dropzones here and on the USPA site and I came up with the following possibilities: Allegan, Tecumseh, Central Mi., and Premier in Fremont. Am I missing any? Any thing I should know? People associated with the dropzones feel free to drop me a line and tell me how great your place is. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. Ouch! ........ Ouch! ........... Ouch! You guys used to land that hard routinely ??? On some of those landings I would have been on the phone dialing 9 ..... 1 ............ "Did he get up?" Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  14. So if you were putting it into print, how would you write it? "Lo-Po 1.6"? "LoPo 1 6"? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  15. Hiya- I'm doing some fact-checking for an article I'm writing. Just double-checking that there was a dropzone in Georgia called Greene County. Searches turn up a Greene County, Ohio, but I haven't found anything about Georgia. This would have been in the mid-70's. Thanks! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  16. Hiya- I am in the process of transcribing a tape made by a blind jumper from the 70's. In the tape he mentioned that he was trained on a canopy that he called what sounded like "lo po one six". How would I write this? Lo-Po 1-6? Secondly, what is this canopy? Obviously, it isn't a 16 foot canopy. What does the 1 6 refer to? Thanks! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  17. The Perris DC9 had flight attendants. They served a snack on the ride to altitude. The seat belt spiel included something to the effect of, "... and if you have any problems fastening your belt please see an attendant because you are too freakin' stupid to jump out of an airplane!"

  18. 18 unpaid furlough days this year. And that is before they hit us up with the give-back contract. Higher health insurance premiums, reduced pension, and different OT rules to reduce the amount of OT. Oh yeah, I work for the county. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. Dunno if this is related or not but ..... I had similar symptoms on a rental Dodge Caliber in Vegas. Long story short, it ended up being fuses in the fuse panel underneath the hood. I was told by the agent that sometimes they just "pop out" enough in the heat. All I had to do was pull each fuse and/or breaker in the panel and put it back in. That worked. I am mechanically competent but it would have been a LONG time before I got to that point on my own. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. I know most of these types of things are bullshit but this one seems to work. Do the math, check it out, and let us know how it worked. The Movie Test Try this test. Scroll down and do the quiz as it instructs and find out what movie is your favorite. It really works! This amazing math quiz can likely predict which of 18 films you would enjoy the most. Don't ask me how. Pick a number from 1-9. Multiply by 3. Add 3. Multiply by 3 again. Now add the two digits together to find your predicted favorite movie in the list of 18 movies below. Be honest, and do the math before you scroll down to see the list below. It's easy and it works. Now look up your number in the list below... 1. Gone With The Wind 2. E.T. 3. Beverly Hills Cop 4. Star Wars 5. Forrest Gump 6. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 7. Jaws 8. Grease 9. The Joy of Anal Sex With A Goat 10. Casablanca 11. Jurassic Park 12. Shrek 13. Pirates of the Caribbean 14. Titanic 15. Raiders Of The Lost Ark 16. Home Alone 17. Mrs. Doubtfire 18. Toy Story It is really amazing, isn't it?

  21. Another one of the type, George "Scrap Iron" Gadaski. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. I had the same exact thing happen to me at 138 jumps. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  23. I have one suggestion for subject matter ......... Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  24. I'm pretty sure this little girl isn't convinced. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  25. And it never was the tape that destructed. The smoke always emanated from the machine beneath the tape. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
