  1. Last year at Eloy there were a group of older ladies watching the main landing area and every time I'd walk by I noticed they kept pointing at me and talking. After about three times of this I had a friend of mine go stand by them and see what they said. I personally don't see it at all but evidently they were trying to figure out if Phil Collins is a skydiver. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  2. Does this mean you're ready for some high altitude h-n-p's? It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  3. I wonder how many they have to shoot to get just one drama worth putting on the tv? It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  4. I had a rescue for 16-1/2 years. Got her as a pup. She definitely had a mind of her own but was one of the most affectionate and protective dogs I've ever had. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  5. 0:0:0 When you going to be able to jump again? It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  6. Nice...now I feel like big cold weather pussy. It was in the 50s Saturday and I sat and watched people jump. 0:2:0 Sat around the dz for 31/2 hours waiting for a load. It was chilling but not bad enough to keep everybody home. Well, unless you're a Texan. But then, you know how hard core the Frozen Chosen are. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  7. Sorry I missed you guys. I had planned to come out there, but I just couldn't do it. Are y'all the ones that came last year and were keeping the otter going while all us local whimps were hiding in the heated lobby. Actually, it was the Caravan. That's the SWEEEET!!!! thing about Skydive Dallas. They kept putting that bird up with just five on board. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  8. :8:0 Annual Frozen Chosen trip to Dallas for the KS Coalition only this year it was 80 on Friday. In regards to Steve Babin, besides being a great guy he can shoot some wicked nasty photos. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  9. Didn't take you long to find a thread on rigids!!! It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  10. I attached a pic of the "Forever Project." Took two and a half years. Hopefully you won't beat by time frame. It was worth it though when it was pictured in Biker Magazine. Good Luck. Rigids Rock!!!! It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  11. I seldom interject in these threads for fear of becoming a target. However, I too have had such opportunites and have found the same lessons. When I have dealt with some of the better/great jumpers I find there to be a huge difference between ego, and confidence, and a willing to teach. One other comment. There is a difference between reaching UP for a dock and reaching OUT for a dock. OK, attack at will. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  12. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=3345524;page=1;mh=-1;;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC Not really sure if the whole thread is in relation to this but the last couple posts are. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  13. OK, so I don't know diddly about the LA area or what is near. I do have a friend there though that I am planning on going to visit in a couple months. What is the closest, fun & easy to fit in dz and roughly how far away? It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  14. I'm guessing several of us got it. All I can say is, "That two timing bitch...." It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  15. Ah, Miss November. Interesting that you posted that. The article SHVLHEAD with the tangerine colored bike. That is the same guy I worked with on the production of my bike. He does really good work. Big emphasis on the motors. He doesn't install crate motors like so many of the big names. Everything is built ground up with several littles tricks of his own to increase torque and HP. Throws some great parties too. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  16. When I spelled Pacho the first time I didn't think it looked right but couldn't remember the exact way. Take a look in the Jan 08 issue of Biker magazine for this bike. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  17. Springer and frame both came from Pacho. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  18. Become one of the Frozen Chosen. There was a group of nine that went to Skydive Dallas in January this past year. It WAS supposed to be nice but never got above 35 on the ground and they kept telling us the wind chiil was -31 at 13.5K. At any rate if it hadn't been for the KS Coalition everybody working at the dz could have gone home. However, they kept the Caravan going with just 5-6 on board(just one more reason to jump at Skydive Dallas). We got named the Frozen Chosen after. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.

  20. : Although I did get to sleep next to Buff on the floor. 1: Time for more but missed my dogs after sitting through the course for recurrency. 0: But I think I already called Buff on his.

    Quote The reason I am selling the skydiving gear is that I had a horrible skydiving accident where both of my legs fell off in freefall. I only found one of them and it could not be re-attached. It seems the other landed in a swamp where it was eaten by a hungry alligator.Quote Oh my! I though all this was just a scam/joke. I feel so bad now that I know you have had this terrible accident. I feel so bad finding humor in all your pain. I hope you find that gator and get your leg back. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.

    I'm really kindda bummed. I was hoping for more entertainment when I got home today. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
  23. Several years ago, and I mean when PCP's and managed care were a rarity rather than the norm, I was walking through my front office area and heard yelling along a similar line. I stopped and asked the problem. The person calmed down because they we're now dealing with the boss and not who they saw as some lackey. Once the problem was explained I calmly asked them to go home and get the contract package that their ins. co. had sent them. Asked them to read through it and find my name and when they did to bring it to me. They asked why, to which I responded, "you won't find it. That is a contract between you and the ins. co., not with me. You are responsible to understand that contract. We sent the forms as a courtesy." I realize all this has changed in the last couple decades but it still doesn't change the fact that most people don't have a clue how their insurance works. Rant over. It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.
