  1. Totally unverified, but It seems like there is less input throughout the forums.
  2. Did this balloon jump with Get Loft, Hot Air Balloon Adventures. Damian travels as the demand requires. I believe he said he has something set up in the near future in South Carolina. You can contact him at https://www.facebook.com/flyhotair/. With him or with someone else, definitely do it. It is totally unique.
  3. Yes to this. (Put that emoji because I don't know what the hell it is and will probably never use it again. Would like the beer emoji back, though. )

    RIP Jack Bogle

    The guys who started Motley Fool said they would never invest in a mutual fund, but if they did, it would be Vanguard's S&P 500 Index fund. I appreciate him now, and will probably appreciate him more after I retire. Aloha, Jack Bogle.
  5. Did they get outcoached, too? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  6. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. Plenty have. There's even a club for it. Can't remember the name, but someone will. Off from '79 to '98, raising kids and stuff. It's a fast moving sport. A lot will seem new to you. A lot has changed, but the basics are still valid: A good arch will cure a lot of problems. Have fun. Good luck. Welcome back. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. Shameless self-promotion, but what the hell: https://www.youtube.com/user/flyhi309/videos Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. You are a seer, however, it really wasn't that hard to forecast. When will we be released from the tyranny of the Notre Dame syncophants who keep putting them back in there? And why, for the love of God, were they the third ranked team in the playoff? They better fall below GA, UCF, Ohio State, and, possibly, Washington, in the final ratings. Even touchdown Jesus had to be embarassed at that one. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. IIRC, there was a four-way hanging in the Air and Space Museum on the Mall. I think Jerry Bird and Bill Ottley were suppose to be two of the individuals. The skydivers were equipped to show different eras of the sport. Eventually it was moved as different artifacts were displayed. It's probably in their warehouse somewhere along with the other thousands (millions?) of things they have no room to display. That would be the problem with the Air and Space Museum. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. Except the 45° rule. Always use the 45° rule. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. The fact that they are not in a conference and do not have to play a conference championship game is emblematic of their arrogance. Their strength of schedule was 26th. I am hoping for at least a repeat of 2013; Alabama 42, ND 14. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. This is $150K spread out over six years. I am going to assume that someone in USPA did some financial analysis on this and feels we can do this with no adverse impact on the membership. However, if there is one dues hike within those six years, USPA will appear to be spending money like a 12-year-old, drunken sailor. (With apologies to 12 year olds, drunks, and sailors.) Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. GHWB's TBM Avenger was shot down in 1944. He was 20 years old. He was flying what was then an advanced aircraft in combat, at 20. Saw a TV show that was touring bars in DC and they talked to a bartender that served multiple presidents, senators, representatives, and others. They asked about 41 and the bartender said words to the effect that he was a Navy man, so his drink was scotch. Something to remember and a possible toast over your next single malt. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Burner phones

    Is she hot? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. I'll get one when Bill Booth starts putting them on his rigs. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. This is harder than it sounds. Persevere. It is worth it. This is 100% accurate, with the caveat: Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  18. 1.63 And all my friends lie about their wing loading, so I wouldn't trust their numbers. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  19. Been on the plane of a USPA group member with him since that incident. It appears Travis has his license now. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Gas prices

    Just filled up in Central Florida at $2.43/gal. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. I see your posts for Chuck Ways every week, and have seen the videos. Maybe, some day... Congrats on your selection. Alix Hubbard from the Southeast is also very, very current. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  22. Two others are Skydive Miami and Skydive Sebastian. Never jumped Miami, but never heard anything bad about it either. Might be worth checking out. Sebastian in the winter is great. Skydive Chicago has its planes there and SDC Rhythm XP spends a lot of time there. Always a bunch of other disciplines represented, too. Also a lot of events going on. You can check the distances. Sebastian might be as far as Clewiston (also, a great place. Great Boogie in Jan), and Miami would probably be the closest. Not sure. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  23. Probably not too common, but baskets like these would make it a little easier. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  24. Might get more and better answers here. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  25. Maybe better with a different director? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
