Big enough to wear a shoe! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

We'll have to do a plane formation load. Slots will go fast. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

no Lost Prairie bar ambiance no northern lights no "I'm not Pete Hill" loads no Texas Stars that fail when Texas Tom participates no gorgeous Montana sunsets "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Keep dreaming, boy "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I shower once a week whether I need it or not! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Isn't your choice of epoxy or polyester based on what the helmet is made out of? I thought one didn't stick well to the other. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I'll be there late Thursday before the boogie starts. I'm coming in from Spokane and will have just enough energy to get my room key, have a beer at McGregor Lake Resort, and then fall into bed. Friday morning I will be fresh as a daisy and ready to jump. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I guess that would depend on if you were on a USPA dropzone or not.

What is "scrubbing"? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Oh, that'll buff right out. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Sorry, Bob - I should have thrown a couple smileys in my post, above. I did not take your post negatively at all. No need to apologize. I am embarrassed that I spoke about something that I did not know about. I WAS referring to the leaf shutter DSE mentioned. I didn't know there was another item in there that could be described as a shutter. Bob "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

DSLR's do have shutters. They're not necessary, but are indeed part of the camera. Perhaps you are thinking of the leaf shutter, as opposed to the plane shutter? DSLR's don't have leaf shutters. Okay, my apologies. I'll crawl back under my rock now. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I was offended when Jim Wallace was pushed out many years ago. It may have been a business decision that seemed sound to the owner but it tainted the dropzone for me ever since. I haven't been back to jump there since then, but I am sure they don't even know who I am and are doing just fine without me. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Check back with me on that after you get a few more years time in grade. Sure, I've only been in the sport for 14 years - I know I'm still a baby. Ian Ian, you're one of those 2,950 jump wonders. You don't get to have an opinion. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

DSLR cameras don't have shutters. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I think it is another of those non sequiturs "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Do they exist? Those aren't photographs, they are computer generated images. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Smart ass! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I was at a cell phone provider kiosk at the local shopping mall buying a phone and when they asked what number I would like I asked if some famous song number was available (it might have been 867-5309, I don't remember). They said it was available and I started to say I wanted it but they said there is a reason that number wasn't taken already. When you have a famous number you get called constantly by people who hear that song and just dial the number for the hell of it. I'm glad they talked me out of getting it. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

We could try obscure song lyrics next. That may be harder to do a google search on. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

That's good! Can I use that sometime? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

scratch thru the quote with the mouse + copy + paste into google = 10 Yes, you could do that but anybody could do that. It kinda takes the fun out of it. Try to do it from memory. Here's another one : "I've been with thousands of men again and again they promise the moon they're always coming and going and going and coming... ... and always too soon." "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

This might be difficult : "Whenever Mrs. Kissel breaks wind, we beat the dog." "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

"There Will Be Blood"? "I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers ... and Methodists!" "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Is it possible he saw CX155 HD and thought the HD referred to hard drive instead of high definition? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
