  8. Write him a letter. By hand. Recount your fondest memories of times spent with him and express how much they mean to you. My 82 year old grandmother LOVES to reminisce. Maybe make a scrap book that includes old storied photos.

    Go through it together. If you do you may just add more to his favorite memories. :)
    p.s. I see your from Canada. Maybe include a one-way ticket to Tampa :P

    I think he looks like the kid from that movie - what movie was it - that Christmas movie? I don't know - it will come to me later.



    Do you mean Ralphie from the movie "A Christmas Story"?

    Looks like Cheli is going to retire. Wings could possibly lose Hudler, Samuelson and Kopecky due to free agency.


    Chuck



    Hossa just signed for 12 years with Chicago. Kopecky went with him for at least a year. Conklin goes to St. Louis.

    Looks like you landed after sunset.



    If you're implying a night jump that doesn't "look" like one hour after sunset.

    Are you licensed for that?



    He's not in the U.S. but which license exactly is required of us in the states to make a night jump?

    And since you're disabled, if you were to land off the airport after dark, how would you seek help?



    I'm not physically disabled, if I were to land off the airport after dark and suffer a dibilitating injury, how would you recommend I seek help?

    Do you carry a whistle for such jumps?



    Do you?


    You certainly don't discriminate John. You'll piss in anyone's Cheerios.

    Nice pics Dale. Good on ya !!!

    As an aside, rangers are otherwise preoccupied and weather is brilliant. Probably a great time to huck yourself off of the Captain if you are so inclined...



    That's just GOLDEN right there!!

    Damn I love skydiving attorneys! :D:D

  20. George Bush Sr. motorcade after work on my way to the DZ in Michigan (1992). Later we had to delay our jump-run because Air Force One and all it's support aircraft were departing GRR 30 miles away.

    Jorge Garcia (ABC's LOST). I used to pass this guy on the road or spot him all over Haleiwa, Oahu. They were filming the first season (mostly beach scenes) just down the road from our house. I was just out there last weekend and it looks like the "crashed" fuselage prop is still sitting behind Dillingham Airfield.

    I get the hockey channels and one of them is CBC. Those guys, are the best... period ...hands-down
    Chuck



    So far the CBC has broadcast every finals game here. I definately prefer them over VS and of course NBC. I'm not a big fan of Don Cherry though. His flamboyant personality must be an acquired taste.

    Did you see the look on Bettman's face, when the camera was on him? He looked like he missed the tri-fecta at Pimlico! Hee, hee!



    I was out of state so I had to watch it on NBC. That was excellent!! I was laughing my ass off!! B|

    GO WINGS !!

    Edit to add: As a side note. NBC and the NHL aren't really winning hearts in Detroit today. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009906090353



    aloha.

  24. I'm not sure if I buy into the conspiracy theory or not. However, I heard or read that when Bettman was asked about the initial June 5th finals start date that he said, "if Detroit would sweep Chicago we wouldn't need to start that late". If those were his words then that is a pretty revealing statement.

    One thing is for sure. The officiating in the entire playoffs has been shite. It's gone both ways for Detroit.



    aloha.

    I didn't see that... what did Campbell say?

    Chuck



    I missed that. I did watch the Bettman interview on CBC though. He came across like a back-tracking defendant.

    Been searching this morning, without luck, for a transcript.
