  1. I'm not sure but Bert was abducted by aliens. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  2. Every seven yrs go out in the street and find a woman, then give her every thing you own. You will avoid all the headaches that way. Don't do drugs while you are in the Air Force. You will avoid all the headaches that way and you will retire at 41 yrs old. And your kids are the most important part of your entire life. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  3. All my life I have had dreams of falling or jumping from high places. I've always heard that you wake up before impact and that if you hit the ground that you could die of a heart attack. I for one do not die and I always impact. Then I get up, dust myself off and think to myself. I should probably be dead but I'm alright. The other night I had a dream that a friend and I were doing a helicopter jump. He went out first and I dived out after. turned to watch the chopper and realized that we had gotten ot very low so reached for my pilot chute but couldn't find it. I wasted time doing it and for some reason decided to cut away a canopy that was not there. Now I'm tugging on my cut away pillow and can't get it pulled. Finally It comes free and I see the yellow cables and reach for my reserve, grab the handle and see the ground and WHAM! I have had malfunction dreams that I hit hard but always with a canopy above me. This is the first time I've gone all the way in. But as always I jump up and I'm ok. Are there other people out there that actually hit the ground or do you all wake up before? Or am I the only invincible dreamer? Sometimes I wonder if these life long dreams are a premonition. If so, that means if I do bounce, I will survive. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  4. I live in Helena, Mt. The home of Fort Harrison. In the early 40's The First Special Forces Unit tained there for battle in Germany. The Germans dubbed them "The Devils Brigade." There is a film done for PBS that follows thier training. Very interesting and informative. The film is entitled To Helena And Back. You can get a copy of this film by writing to Ray Ekness KUFM-TV PARTV 180 University Of Montana Missoula, Mt. 59812 Or call 406-243-4101 The film is old B&W footage of actual training jumps and day to day exploits the the men. Also more recent interviews with some of the surviving members. It may answere some questions for you and show some of what the man you met may have faced in training and beyond. Who knows, maybe he was one of the Devils Brigade. I also think it would be cool for you to take him to the DZ, and even cooler for him to do a tandem if he chooses. Good Luck.

  5. Check out the Bonehead Rat Hat. You can fly it without the camera for as long as you like then when you want you can buy the L bracket or the cam box that you need. The closure on it is a little different and some people say that it is a little hard to use with gloves on but I have never had a problem. Actually I think if I had to dump it in the event of problems, that it would take less time and effort than most. This is of course just my opinion and I am far from being expert. I am a fairly low time jumper and only fly a camera to record my own jumps. I do not go chasing people around the sky. the last thing on my mind on my dives is what the cam sees. Thats for when I get home. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  6. I think your son should have stood in line for himself, bought two and sold one for enough to cover the cost of both. Or more. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  7. Anybody who would buy this book is a fucking moron. You are basically paying OJ to continue his golf course to golf course search for Nicholes killer. That fucker should have hung from a tree on the court house lawn. Any money made from the book should go directly to the families of the victims. Oh and one more thing. FUCK FOX NETWORK. This shit really pisses me off. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

    RAPE ME

    Took my car in 2 weeks ago for the 60 K service. Spark plugs, 2 1/2 hrs service and 6 $13.00 plugs and a fuel filter. $360.00. Also would have had to pay for the tranny service but there was a recall so got off of that. Need a new serpentine belt with labor, $130.00. New brake pads and fluid, who knows. What ever happened to the days when you could actually work on your own car? I also did the plugs in my other car last weekend myself. Cuz I can. 4 plugs, $1.25 ea. and 15 minutes of my time. Times have sure changed. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

  11. I want a flash card made that says Could you drive better with that cell phone shoved up your ass? But actually after driving for a living for 20 plus yrs, (not any more) my pet peeve is everybody else on the road. Cuz nobody is as good a driver as me.

  12. My first three jumps were tandems, not even a second thought. LOved them. Now my firdt AFF was another story. You couldn't have pounded a needle in my butt with a sledgehammer. Not scared of dying, but of screwing it up. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

  16. People who get sick or think they get sick from a flu shot already had a virus when they got their shot. Do not get the shot if you are allergic to eggs or latex. I didn't used to get the shot until about seven yrs ago when the U.S. had a really bad flu season. I had five viruses at the same time. I was bed ridden for three weeks. I had never been so sick in my life. I fought for every breath and lost 20 pounds. That was the only time I ever wished that I would just die. Ever since I faithfully get my shot and have never been that sick since. Just a small cold here and there, but a cold and the flu are two different things. I guess the reason that I never got the shot before was because of paranoia. You never know what the gov. puts in them. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

  21. I can't say enough how much I love my mom. She is incredibly loving, caring and has always been there for me no matter what stupid things I did in my life. She loves me unconitionally and visa versa. and I tell her that I love her all the time. She knows it but likes to hear it I'm sure. When she sees that it is me calling she answeres the phone, Hello I love you. It always makes my day. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
