  1. A couple years back I read an article written by a guest pilot who got the opportunity to fly the 748 with the shuttle. I think it was linked here, but I couldn't find it in the search??? I remember a funny anecdote about trying to a pet the takeoff roll because of the burning smell - the veterans on the flight crew said that's just the tires... I would love to read the whole article if someone could point me in the right direction! Your assist is appreciated!!! - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."

  3. Good Afternoon, I had outpatient back surgery on Tuesday. The post-surgery packet they gave me said "don't smoke after surgery". I understand in the first several days/hours afterwards, and I similarly understand why cigarettes slow healing. Is the same true for cigars? Thanks for the thoughts! - - "Baseball is 90% mental.

  4. I thought there were a bunch of choices to pick from in: Kung Fu Hustle Just my thoughts, I've been laughed at for sharing them in the past. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  5. Hello DZ, I would like to add text to a photo. If I want to do this on my IPad, is there an app? Preferably free??? If I want to print/enlarge the picture and then have it drawn on, where do I do these 2 things? Assuming fedex office can print high quality large format, and is google the best place to find local artists? Thanks for the help DZ. If you know something local, I'm in Wilmington NC.

  6. Gale, U've opened my eyes to the possibility that I'm not really that close to having any idea what I'm looking for! Foolishly didn't think there would be that many possibilities? 28-31 does seem close though seeing the whole passage. Gonna have to go back to the drawing board, and rethink my strategy. Thanks, I really do appreciate the help. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  7. Thank you both for the efforts! My memory is awful, and they were paraphrasing, but this doesn't sound like what I am looking for? Wish I had a better handle on it. Any other thoughts are appreciated; you are welcome to take some liberty if it helps with another idea. Again, thanks for the help, your efforts are appreciated.

  8. Hello DZ.com, Trying to put together a gift for a friend... There is a piece of scripture they told me about: an eagle carrying the weak??? I think there is a song that gores with it??? I'm not giving you much, and appreciate any help. Thanks, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."

    Bump... Want an IPad, trying to justify the cost; they've been out for a while now, and wondering what people's latest thoughts are on it??? thanks in advance for the thoughts. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  10. Skydive Coastal Carolinas... DZ is a half mile as the crow flies from the ocean, maybe a mile at most! Beach Jumps whenever!!! I will echo Sebastian is beautiful, but Coastal is my favorite. Do have fond memories of the Shawanagunks at The Ranch in NY with the Hudson too. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  11. While i was living in Savannah, I really enjoyed the people at Skydive Walterboro! Nice/friendly/willing to jump staff and upjumpers. Good people. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  12. The Blue Sky Ranch is open 7 days, and almost alwayas has planes flying. Good Luck!!! Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  13. Pauli Morgan (skydives) owns/works the bar/restaurant "Nelson Blue" on (I think) the lower East Side. At least once a week he hosts a gathering of skydivers at Nelson. A great place to hang out, and you'll meet some great folks. Best Luck, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
  14. I take both Spinning and Yoga classes. I would say I have always noticed a mix of people, but never really looked. Best, Dru - - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."
