  1. Still no rings. Exchanged closing pin necklaces after a jump into Lang Creek Brewery with Mad John officiating. "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  2. Business partners should have a written partnership agreement. I'm not saying "don't do it," I'm just suggesting a way to reduce the possible misunderstandings. My wife and I bought our house together 4 years before we got married. Talking about and formulating a joint ownership agreement answered a lot of questions while there no pressure when things have come up. Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there?

  4. 2 issues: 1 -- make sure you each get a lawyer to go over a co-ownership agreement. What are each of your obligations during the co-ownership, and what are the remedies if one of you defaults? What if down the road one of you wants to sell and the other doesn't? How will the title be held, and what happens if one of you dies? etc, etc. It's better to talk out these issues BEFORE you take ownership. If your relationship isn't strong enough to handle this conversation now, what happens if something happens down the road? 2 -- What happens if your boyfriiend gets hurt or sick, and can't do the manual labor, especially if you were in the middle of a project and had half the roof off? Before my wife and I got together, my wife and her room mate were going to buy a "fixer upper" which would give the room mate's father, a retired contractor, something to do. Before they found a house, he died of a sudden heart attack. Shit happens. Know your E.P.'s before you get into a project. Think of as many "what if's" as you can and make sure you have the answers before signing anything. Good luck Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

  5. And had fun doing it and meeting the crowd afterwards. Blue Skies! Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

  8. Believe it or not, independent CFI's in the L.A. area are now billing out $45 (or more)/hr, flight and ground, and keeping VERY busy. I just got an email from an outfit in Tucson offering salaries of up to $30K/yr. (plus benes) for CFI's Ameriflight is putting Full Page "Help Wanted" ads in Pacific Flyer. They're having trouble finding pilots with 1200 hrs. who want to be freight dogs. Yes, flying as FO in the Regionals is lousy work for low pay, but at least you have a seniority number and are building jet time in some very nice equipment. I've had a couple of former students with under 400 hrs. get hired by the regionals in the last year. Bottom line ... don't work for peanuts unless you enjoy being a monkey.

  11. Tell Matt that we appreciate his note. We miss Hale, and now we are missing Steve. Appreciate the days you have, they won't last forever. BSBD Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  12. QuoteJudges are just lawyers who think they can use there position to be above the law. Quote Judges are lawyers who couldn't make it in private practice but knew the Governor.

  15. Unless the one with whom you hook up happens to live near you 1,000 miles from the Prairie and the two of you keep coming back to the Prairie year after year, including a freefall wedding into the Brewery, officiated by none other than Mad John.

  16. Arguing with an FAA Inspector is like wrestiling with a pig in the mud. After an hour you realize the pig likes it. "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  17. I speak from personal experience. My wife and I purchased our house years before we got married. Things have gone really well because we did our homework first! Spend the money on an attorney to be sure you have a legally binding agreement as to each party's ownership interest, obligations to each other during the ownership, options in the case either of you defaults on those obligations, and what to do if you decide to end the relationship. Each of you should have your own attorney review the agreement. This is not only a personal relationship, but considering the value of the asset you are buying a true business partnership, and should be treated as such. Each state has its own laws regarding joint ownership of property, so you really want to get someone local to give the advice. Good luck! Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there?

  18. Will this decision affect the "indemnity" provision in many of the "waivers" now in use that says if the party alleging the injury files suit, the plaintiff will pay to each named defendant $X in liquidated damages? Correct me if I'm wrong, but usually a claim of "gross neglegence' would require that the plaintiff clearly state in the complaint the act that constituted gross negligence. Only after the plaintiff could show, as a matter of law, that the specific act would be gross negligence, could the case proceed to a trial on the facts. The lack of deep pockets, and the possibility of having to pay the indemnification, will deter many of the contingency lawyers from investing the time and money to go after a DZ.

  19. I know what you mean. I'm a full-time CFI working mainly out of LGB and know many of the controllers there. We've had periods of "reduced" service due to staffing levels. "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  20. Something common in people who get overnment jobs instead of working in private industry. Power Trip. "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  21. Fine Thanks -- Making it to L.P.? "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  22. Get one of the "Yosemite" vanity plates with the number "LCAP159" I doubt anyone else would come up with that. Then drive into the park with some skydiving bumper stickers. Don't worry about getting mugged. You'll have 24 hour ranger supervision. "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  23. Were you on any of the 10 way comp dives out of 5 cessnas, or Ruckert's 55 ways? I remember hearing ATC over the speaker advising a United about a "flight of 15 cessnas, 10 O'clock" "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  24. Made my first freefall out of it 11/22/69. I think Frank Younquist was the owner at that time. Blue Skies! Harry L "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
  25. Been there done that. Even have the tee shirt. You know I would have helped if you only called! See you soon. Blue Skies! Harry "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
