  1. Back in March, Emil Kindelberger (DZO/pilot at Beaver Valley Sky Divers) had been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. Since then, he’s been in and out of the hospital getting better and worse. Today I received word that he passed away around 3am this morning. He was 84 years old. Funeral info from Cecil: THE VIEWING WILL BE AT TODD'S IN BEAVER ON THIRD STREET (THE MAIN DRAG) WED. 2 TO 4 & 7 TO 9 SERVICE @ TODD'S ON THURSDAY 11:00 AM I AM TRYING TO GET THE TURNERS FOR A HALL FOR 12:00 ON THURSDAY. COULD YOU ASK EVERYONE TO BRING A COVERED DISH FOR THUSDAY. WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH EMIL LIKED HIS HOLIDAY PICNICS. PLEASE ASK EVERYONE TO CALL ANY OF THE JUMPERS AND FRIENDS THAT ARE NOT ON THE EMIAL. THANK YOU --Art

    Milk

    I drink milk very little. They need to put the year with the expiration date. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n. A modern sport that involves parties, bragging, sexual excesses, the imbibing of large quantities of beer, and, on rare occasions, parachuting from aircraft.
  7. I like how it says "New to Dropzone.com?" As if to say you've been fooled by the oldest trick in the book. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  8. It's the big satellite dish southwest of area 69. Map & pic attached. HTH, Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n. A modern sport that involves parties, bragging, sexual excesses, the imbibing of large quantities of beer, and, on rare occasions, parachuting from aircraft.
  9. The antenna next to the big ear has a rig on top. IIRC, just walk to the bottom and you pop on top. Only way down is to jump. There's one in Missionary Hill you need a helicopter (or jet pack but it's a pain): http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=1316340;page=1;mh=-1;;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC#1332281 The one next to the VINEWOOD sign has large invisible platform you can fairly easily land on top of. There are cliffs in the desert but you have to pull real quick (jump then pound on the circle button). You can jump off of Mt. Chiliad. HTH, --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  10. I think people drive slow in the left lane because they don't know any better, don't give a shit, or don't think it's that big of a deal. I think these are the same people who get on the highway and think that you just pick whatever lane you want for no particular reason. I admit that it annoys me when someone drives in the left lane when they're not passing anybody and you can easily get around in the right lane. It's drive right, pass left people. WTF is so hard about that? A little more specific reason is that I think people like having lots of empty lane in front of them. I came to this conclusion while in the car pool lane with moderately heavy traffic and some prick up front keeps pace with the cars in the lane to the right. The lane was empty in front of them. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  11. A t-bone at well over 100mph? Ouch! First I heard about was when I bought a dirt track racing game. Don't much about it though. But I do think it would be fun to watch. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  12. The would be cool. I wanna see more radical track designs. Don't really care so much for the so-called "cookie-cutter" tracks. I want: a figure 8 track (over/under pass in the middle of coarse!) maybe somelike like a cookie cutter except the the back stretch is curved in so there would be a right turn there do like the last bullet but bend in both the front and back stretch so there's a right turn on each any other "mini-road course" type tracks These would be cool. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  13. Yep. Two road courses this year: 06|26|05 - Dodge/Save Mart 350 08|14|05 - Sirius Satellite Radio at the Glen I like the road courses. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  14. A couple of things I wish NASCAR would do: One, make the one last thing truely stock on the cars be the body. I understand they use common templates for most, if not all, of the car. I think it would be cool if it were pure stock (except for front/rear spoilers). That way, if a Chevy wins, then maybe the car you can buy is the most aerodynamic or best suited for racing (body shape wise). Right now, if a Chevy wins, it doesn't mean squat as far as your car sitting out in the driveway is concerned. Two, get rid of the plates. They may not need them if they make the bodies (nearly) pure stock. But, if they need to slow down the cars, then do something else to the motor to maintain responsiveness, not something that causes the car to slowly get up to speed. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.
