  1. Had to get mine from Square One. Couldn't find any dealers in Houston.
  2. I was in a minor wreck with a Nationwide client and it took them about a week to get the rental car setup but they paid for my out of pocket charges until then. Then they paid the shop directly for the repairs and sent me a check for $750 due to diminished value because my car was involved in a wreck.
  3. I think it is the exhaust from the Jet fuel.
  4. Depending on how everything is owned. You and your siblings are entitled to 1/2 of your Dad's property. The new wife gets the other 1/2 but can live in the house for life. If they were only married a year your Mom could probably get the entire retirement (I seem to remember a 10 year mark needing to be passed before the spouse gets the retirement pay) or she should get 1/2 and the new wife gets the other 1/2. But you should probably find an Estate & Probate atty to talk to. It will probably cost a couple grand to have them help but it could stop the new wife from having everything poof away.
  5. look up Northwestern Mutual... Just got a 1M policy... no premium for skydiving.
  6. Ryan, I jump at spaceland and will be at skyfest and I jump a pilot 210. You are more than welcome to jump my kit to try out the pilot.
  7. Signing a policy today that provides $1 Million and does not exclude skydiving for $125/month and the only reason it is more is because of the smoker rates. The company is http://www.nmfn.com/
  8. Pretty much the same thing here. Insurance through work that is $20 or less per paycheck. The life and Accidental death policies both pay for a skydiving claim. I just got a quote today from AAA insurance for 1 Million and their rate was ~160/month for a smoker who skydives.
  9. I'd save the shock collar for last since you will be out some cash. Or an even better idea would be to put the shock collar on the owner of the dog. He would definitely be up when the dog was barking...
  10. You have to make it more trouble dealing with you than keeping their dogs from barking. Below are some things you can do when dealing with the owners of barking dogs. Call their house/knock on their door whenever they are barking late at night Get a board a (1x4 or 1x6 works well) and beat on the fence... It scares dog and will wake the neighbor up. Hose down the barking dog. It is now a wet stinky dog that will probably come into the house in the morning. Buy an anti bark shock collar, put it on the dog and leave a note on their door with some extra batteries.
  11. Almost any KC BBQ is great. You have Gates where they yell at you when you walk in the door... Then Arthur Bryant's which has the best burnt ends on the planet. Jack Stack that has the best Baby Back Ribs ever made. I have tried almost every BBQ place that I could find in Houston and the place that is a close second to KC BBQ is Thelma's BBQ http://www.b4-u-eat.com/houston/restaurants/reviews/rsv2318.asp Everything is great but the ribs don't seem quite there. I used to live in KC for 15 years and the only place that I have found that ships is Jack Stack http://www.jackstackbbq.com/ I get a few slabs of ribs and a couple quarts of beans once or twice a year..... yummm...
  12. Here is a good one... Take a sip of diet coke keep it in your mouth... Follow with a big gulp of Brandy then chase with more diet coke...
  13. I was at perris a couple of weeks ago and on their waiver it said to use the 45 degree rule and give at least 10 seconds delay between groups.
  14. It is located on a card/flipout tag on the inside of the harness by the 3 rings.
  15. Attached is the description in word format. The location is Downtown Houston.
