  1. I don't have a coach rating but I've done coach jumps per the DZO! I do have coaching skills! A little left,......now back up, i'll be gentle!!!!!!!!!
  2. Now there is a true texan...lol Lee, not only am I a Houstonian but also a Texas licensed irrigator# 1833 since '84.
  3. Go 'Skins, fuck the cowboys! How 'bout those "Horns"?
  4. [ A wise person once told me - no matter how good he looks, somewhere someone is sick of his shit. As I was told, No matter how fine she is, soomeone is tired of fucking her!
  5. I just found out about this thread. Thanks all, we just had the family birthday dinner last night. This was usually a dinner for both myself an Mom as hers was the 29th of December and mine the 30th. It was a very emmotional dinner as I have been thinking of her alot lately. ps; I'm not an old fart yet!

  9. You know you're from Houston when... You can leave your house, head out of town, and an hour later you still haven't left the city limits. (During rush hour, you haven't left your neighborhood.) Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year. The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes. If you want to be a snob about your grocery shopping, you can go to Randall's, Rice Market or a Kroger's Signature. You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees. When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you know he just stepped in a fire ant bed. You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World. You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a cold front has blown through, and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes. You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise there. You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two cross-dressers on roller blades, holding hands. You hear everything but English spoken when you go to the Galleria to window-shop. You know that "Dad gummit" has nothing to do with your father's failure to practice good dental hygiene. You think "Y'all" is perfectly good usage if you're referring to more than one person. You've never seen I-45 in any condition other than under-construction -- and you've lived here for 20-30 years. If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day. The only real Mexican food is Tex-Mex. You know that while saving you money, "Mattress Mac" has amassed more than the U.S. Treasury has. You see nothing unusual about an 80-something former sheriff's deputy who wears a white toupee and blue sunglasses, mispronounces names, allows televising of his frequent plastic surgeries, seems unnaturally obsessed with slime in the ice machine, and screams, "MAR-VIN ZIND-ler, EYE-witness news" into a television camera every night. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Houston.
  10. Tom Jenkins organized some 40+ way sequential dives for the weekend, invite only. We were totally weathered out Saturday so an early 7:45 am lift off Sunday was in order. We were able to get in 8 formation loads in by 4 O'clock deadline. 4 different sequentials. That took a lot of hustle for everyone involved. Gemini was plane 2 captain. Loads of fun!
  11. Worries me so much that I rode severe spinning line twist on my Xaos 27-79' all the way to 1200' before getting out them! J/K, I new which way to get out of them, kikin' like a banshee!
  12. Ah, those FUNny jumpers at SSM. Miss it, NOT!

  16. She would always get of easy paying for the food and I would get stuck with the bar tab!!!!!!

  19. Blue skies Don obviously you touched many in our small community. May your friends and family take solice in in your peace. Conway
  20. Welcome back unbroken Brother! What you did worked. With my unfortunate multiple experience in similar circumstances, one brakeline unable to unstow the settink not the toggle itself. Take as much wrap as needed on the free brake line to even the settings and land using rears. Saved my ass on my hanky the second time it happened. See ya this weekend 2500!
