  1. See, that is what I hope to avoid. Perhaps it is just youthful indiscretion, but then again... Rainbo TheSpeedTriple - Speed is everything "Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting."
  2. Over the years I have made a habit of letting new jumpers try and buy used gear from me. Always at extremely generous dollar values. And always they do right by me in the end. I also have a tendency to let them develop the payment terms. I believe the spending your dollars on skydives at that stage is better than spending it on expensive gear. Gear never made anybody fly better, safer maybe , but never better. Anyway, I am reaching a point that has me borderline upset. There is a young jumper who has a complete rig from since early last summer that has not made any attempt to contact me for some time now. I try emailing him and it bounced as undeliverable. I leave messages at his parents home where he lives(?) but get no response. I heard rumors he may be in the Fort Wayne area these days. I am not going to mention names as I am still willing to give the (thread title). What's a guy to do, I mean in my younger years there were ways I would have dealt with this issue, but I am older and gentler these days. Thoughts out there, cause I would hate to get a bad taste in my mouth and not do for younger jumpers what people did for me in my early days.

  5. I think we need a forum just so Slappie and Turtle can spend the day Fluffin' each other. Rainbo TheSpeedTriple - Speed is everything "Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting."
  6. Actually it Freise Sauce (spelling), not quite mayo but close. Got some kind of additional flavor in it. When I was there working they had a hard time finding ketchup for me and then thought i was crazy putting it on my fries. Oh yeah, diet soda sucks.

  7. Yo Ying, I am more than slightly intelligent and quite frankly I do not believe in God. Not even slightly. So I could take your comment as an insult but I wont, not my style.

  9. OMG is that an image of Jesus? This is like the Shroud of Turin. No. I think that it is the image of the Grim Reaper. Mr. Reap was probably standing there waiting for this dude and then got smashed into the ground. Thats prolly what cushioned his impact. Don't count on lesson being learned.

    I feel like...

    SH#T. Had to leave work early yesterday to get the furnace fixed. Then some friends called and asked me to come to Elgin for dinner. Cool, free dinner, how can i pass that up?!? Well long story short just as we sat down to eat Karen looks across the table at me and says "Rainbo, you look pale." A couple of seconds later me stomach starts to turn into a big knot. Excuse myself from the table and have felt like crap every since. Now I am at work feeling no better and can't afford to take time off cause I don't get paid if I ain't contractin'. where do you find a barfin' emticon anyway???

    Ear Infection?

    You definately do not want to travel to warm climates. This will only cause additional discomfort and posiibly increase the risk of making it worse. The best thing you can do is expose the offending ear to cold wind, if there are small ice crystals inthe air stream it would be much better for you. I suggest that you consider giving me your ticket to travel with Gomie and keep him company while you stay here and shovel my driveway. I would be willing to sacrafice myself for you in this way since you are such a dear friend. Anyway who would really want to spend a week with that guy on a warm beach or skydiving in the buff over the blue Pacific anyway!!! That way you could also pick up your Mole and chocolate from my house. Two birds with one stone, love ya girl.

  21. Finally one that I can pass. Look out big time... Professional Engineer Exam [from an Atlanta engineer] We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people in the South are. We challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam administered by the Southern States Professional Engineer Licensing Department: 1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum. 2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? A '65 Ford Fairlane, a '69 Chevrolet, a '67 Chevelle, or a '64 Pontiac GTO. 3. If your uncle builds a still that operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of 'shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product? 4. A woodcutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down? 5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage of decrease in the ozone layer? 6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed? 7. A man owns a Tennessee house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children put a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front? 8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 9000 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler? 9. A coal mine operates in a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of the 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the shift? 10. At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town that has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

  24. Somehow I just knew I should not have opened this thread. Being that I am at work, and the visuals combined with my sick mind have caused a physicle reaction that now force me to remain seated at my desk. I really need to be on the floor shooting training videos. If I loose my job for not getting my work done you will both need to care for me until I can again enter the work force, which as you are aware takes awhile based on past experiences. hmmmmm...
