    This looks like an older Craigslist posting, whuffo sent it to me. Not sure if it was supposed to be a joke, or if some non jumper found a cutaway main and is being a punk, or what. I thought is put this up in case anyone in NM has lost a chute and never
  2. in preparation for the 2012 games... http://youtu.be/XwsMhuHGTU0 So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983

  4. I only read the first half page of this thread- But can anyone explain why it is bad that people who create businesses, jobs, and fill a demand are evil for cashing in on and idea if there are enough people willing to work for the set wages of the company and pay the price of the product or service offered. this is terrible because why? So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  5. That's one way to say it, or maybe the company decided to raise the rates and he didn't want to be a sucker. figured he could save money and didn't need the billboard. If you don't need it, why pay for it? Good business. MY point is, if this happened a couple miles up the road with the situation swapped, these forums might explode. So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  6. Did a search, nothing posted since like '08 on any series. I wouldn't qualify myself as a Giants fan, definitely an A's/Raiders guy, but it's fun living 2 blocks from the ballpark and to see 'em be successful. This is a vid i shot from the bar where i watched game 6 of Giants/Phillies right as they won. Game on/Party on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R62zlbZxw5A So there I was...

  7. I'm not skyride folks either, I'm pro-black sheep (not directed at Wendy) I still can't believe the blurred line you all impose on dropzones vs. skyride. The lack of business (bisiness?) knowledge in these forums is astounding. I will rejoin all you Delta Bravos upon my return from Maui. If any of you are in Maui the next few days, PM me and we'll get drinks + party. Confusing the confused since 1983 -Brett So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983

  9. Compared to the rest of the skydiving and BASE population, he's a regular F.D.R. Having an awkward laugh doesn't detract from a speaker's ability. sorry guys, Brett So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  10. He's generated a ton of interest in both skydiving and BASE jumping. He isn't a bad public speaker either, he speaks clearly, with thought, and explains the risks and why he takes them well. I found my whuffo friends felt bad for him about the empire state bldg thing. He has also captured some of the most incredible footage I've ever seen. I say: keep it floored, good shit. -Brett So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  11. I'm not doubting something to those effects were said, I just want to see the actual text. If you're quoting someone from a public document, you may as well make it accurate. So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  12. can you cite the quote? So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  13. I don't have a dog in this fight, but if I were on the BOD I'd be laughing. I only got halfway through the letter. First, it was WAY too long, it should have been kept to 1 page maximum, ultimately requesting a meeting, call, or some kind of follow up on a later date where you can flesh out your concerns, with a date specified where you will follow up through another avenue of communication if you hear nothing. Second, it reminded me of a child between say, 1st and 3rd grade whining to their parents about a teacher they didn't like. Third, it screamed bias. You are the only one expressing concern over this. for all they know you made this stuff up or embellished it because of one disagreement. Include signatures from your peers. Lastly, it's one letter. You may want to consider some kind of follow up to your single letter prior to b*tching on the internet in an open forum. That's all I got, Brett edit: Craig, i don't see you listed/CC'd on the letter So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  14. In San Fran, we already pay some of the highest sales, occupancy, "health," (insert any tax here) tax. When a crackhead, heroine junkie, etc gets dropped off at SF general, the hospital stores any drugs the junkie (typically homeless) was holding in a "safe" of sorts. they get treated, held for 2 days if suicidal, and released WITH the drugs they came in with + 10 clean syringes + vouchers for 7-10 nights in cheap hotel/motels in the area. edit: The junkies/homeless know the rules of the hospital and become regulars to get these services. That is SF's version of fair health care paid for by yours truly. My guess is similar sh*t will happen around the country and i don't want any decent citizen having to pay for it. 30 million peoples' health care? come on. Yes health care needs reform, but this legislation that is so incredibly HUGE was passed in such a forceful and bias manner it scares the sh*t out of me. Just waiting til November to hopefully save some of the American dream... So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
  15. Already terms in place- tunnel flier tunnel rat Marketing allows them to stay open and for me to pay low rates. Call it whatever you want as long as I get to play with it cheap. Eating the wall at 160 MPH rules, Brett So there I was... Making friends and playing nice since 1983
