  1. You're going to be a freeflyer, aren't you? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. Celebration !![/Red] August 3rd & 4th We will recognize our Betty who is turning 60 and spent 42 of those years in the "Skydiving World" Our 4-Way CReW Team Storm Riders will be here!!! We will host a 70's Theme BBQ with cake after jumping! Bring a DISH to share! The 70's: the decade that brought you triple-knit polyester wear, megaconcerts with super groups like the Archies, and untoppable events such as Woodstock (the fifth and tenth anniversaries) Here's the best part: Experience Jumpers [B]JUMPS $15.00 [/B](cash only) to altitude So If you want to commemorate what some critics have called, "One of the decades of the twentieth century," grab your pale blue leisure suit and come on out.
  3. Do you ever cock or re-cock the pilot chute when the canopy is in the bag? I have been told that can trap nylon and cause small tears like that. Not sure if that is true or not, but this is Dropzone.com. In a very short time, someone will post and tell you why that is the stupidest thing they have ever heard. After being told that, however, I have made sure my PC was fully cocked prior to putting it in the bag and have had no tears like your canopy exhibits. YMMV. Happy Aloha Friday! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  4. Very high chick to dude ratio. Well done. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  5. Just shocked. That's not the Biebs I know. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Moving to NJ

    And you have to pay to use the beaches. Nice tourist board touch. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. See the attached Life Map for guidance. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. My mom had me sign her up for online banking to make it easier for her. And it is. Now, whenever she wants to do something, all she has to do is call me up, tell me what to do, and consider it done. If you don't know her, she is the one standing in the checkout line writing a check with her bank's routing number and her account number on it. She doesn't have a debit card because, "they're not safe." Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. Actually, I think the math supports playing the lottery at this level, if you don't take the lump sum, don't live in a state with a state income tax, only buy one ticket, only have one winner, and assume that 39% is and will be the maximum income tax over the life of the payout. The attached probability chart shows that the probability of winning times the payout comes out to $2.05 while the probability of losing times the cost comes out to a negative $2. The addition results in a positive $.05. If I remember correctly anytime the number is positive, it's not a bad bet. I guess the argument of reducing the value of the payout for inflation can be made, but then again, how much will all your lofty investment (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, signature line of mink-covered canopies) counter that? Quien sabe? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. Lodi is not far off I-5. And at some point in your skydiving career you will be at a DZ/bar/police station/FAA hearing and a discussion about Lodi will break out, and you will be able to provide some cogent comments. Be safe. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  11. For me it's Pink Floyd. Surprised no one has mentioned Nickelback yet. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. Jeff Probst goes toe-to-toe with death and lives to talk about it here. http://video.us.msn.com/watch/video/jeff-probsts-skydiving-scare/52c5eoy?from=en-us_msnhpvidmod&cpkey=4c5a16ad-75ac-44c8-86bc-765eece8ab51%257c%257c%257c%257c Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. https://www.facebook.com/events/469515423122077/?fref=ts RLTW Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. You can't spell geek without a double E. Pick up any newspaper in any town (that still has one) and someone is looking for an EE. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  15. As posted on Stupidvideos.com Hope they know how lucky they are. http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=2&from=en-us_msnhpvidmod#/video/1390ab0c-0e6e-640c-aaab-cb196a6eb926 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgt7WoDkpAw Watched it at work. It made me want to leave and do something important. Nice. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  17. This is the breast reduction surgery of the beer world. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  18. Yeah, but Apple now supports Windows. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  19. How hard? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  20. This morning, a lady in Starbucks had an Erin Rodgers shirt on. She didn't really look much like him though. She was too tall. Forgot to add, 49ers. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  21. You really seem to be enjoying that suit. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  22. They also have a Tommy Hilfiger restaurant (~$18 hamburger) and a pretty good Mexican restaurant upstairs by BB Kings. BB's is pretty good. Right down the street from that (Between PO and Universal) is the Ice Bar which is kind of unique. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  23. Jumped there once. Very hospitable. They didn't know me from Adam, but welcomed me right in. Nice place and good facilities. Not the largest landing area I have ever seen, but not too taxing for a beginner. I would definitely jump there again. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Thanksgiving!

    I use Emeril's recipe. Brining is the only way to do it. I've had people leave, turn around, come back, and ask for more. Come on people. No one else saw this? No one? You cannot let up just because it's the holiday season. Now focus, dammit! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  25. Forgot one. In nine to ten months, you'll be old enough to be called Grandma. Congrats to both of you, Meemaw. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
