AAD deploys at 5500?!! That can't be right... can it? Someone should slap his daughter though. I am sure she is just being concerned, but WTF, he not going to live much longer anyway! NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

along with a tin-foil hat I'm sure.... MAC addy ACLs are a little overkill for home use IMO... unless you have something to steal/hide. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

I would pull some late-night-rooftop-sniper action on the skunk, that's when they are usually out. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

Well, I was Army for 8 years... the key to the military is LOTS of patience and tolerance. Don't take anything personal, it usually isn't worth it anyway. You get out of it, what you put into it. Personally, I would start working out regularly starting NOW, if you don't already. It will make your life much easier. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

A Viking Funeral would be nice... and more cost effective... NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

A lot of vagrants hang out at the NMSU campus main library near me. They are usually making noise... talking about some totally off the wall conspiracy theory. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

Congrats and welcome... I start ASP Thursday and will be jumping all weekend 'till I pass out. Good luck on AFF I!!!

Hell, now that I think of it, you could tell people that you hit a chain-link fence while landing and that your medical coverage doesn't cover skydiving injuries so you have to wait to get it removed. I bet you could get some more free beers out of that story with some extra helpings of BS. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

I also did my first 2 jumps alone... met some nice people at the bar at the DZ . I am now heading back for ASP, also alone... but hey, jumping is "me time" anyway. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

Being a govt/corp IT consultant also I totally relate to this story on SO many levels... recently I was directed to interview with some Sandia Natl Labs IT folks that needed some "help" and since I had previously requested to be relocated from southern NM I happily drove to Albuquerque. Long story short, I was more qualified to conduct the interview than the people that needed the "help". It turns out that they were looking for a "desktop support" lackey in the $75/hr range and my company usually bills $130-$200/hr for my time. (too bad I don't make nearly that much ) Needless to say they thought I was a "little" overqualified. P.S. The interviewers were like throw-backs from the 70s UNIX-era that had never seen daylight and had been spending the last 15 years dialed in to text-based BBSs and barely knew what "teh intarw3b" is.

Well I am feeling pretty bummed since my cat went missing... probably why I am post-whoring so much on the boards I belong to... Here is a lame pic that made me laugh back in the day. Cheer up!

There are some reasonably priced people-finding services online that will do records/DMV searches for about $50. I don't remember what they are called though... sorry... NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

I think some of the people at my workplace NEED a beer... people are waaaay too uptight here. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

LOL, talk about "self-ownership" if you had chopped your main because you thought it was the wrong one/color... I am going to file that away in my humorous skydiving stories mental vault for future reference. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

HAHA... you laugh, but I bet they would give them to you. Just tell them you are going to have a "safer sex" tent. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080

congrats... when one of my co-workers got the pins out of his ankle (scooter accident ) he brought them to work for "show-and-tell" Of course we did have to make fun of him because of the circumstances of his injury. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080
