  1. HEY! Finally two minutes free to post again. I have been too busy working, but hey - I hung out with Paul Sr, Paul Jr and Mikey while we filmed our Orange County Choppers commercial and TV show - they are building a bike for my company - so I can't complain too much, right? Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  2. GATORRRRRSSSS!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  3. No worries girl! I haven't been out to Byron lately, so from Texas you get a big thank you for the great images and the memories they brought me this morning. When anyone has news of services, or where I can make a donation in his name, please PM me. Thanks. Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  4. You can call me cute, beutiful, loose or a whore... I know I'm cute I like to think I'm pretty sometimes I know I'm not loose, so it wouldn't offend me I would be a whore if anyone would pay me, so saying you would pay me would be a compliment :-) Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  5. Another thanks to Lany. You always capture the heart in your images and to have these is priceless. Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  6. Thanks Jon, this gives me a great start of what I can research to get more information on the changes and upgrades since that time period. Trust me, with my friend Tom passing this weekend, you won't see me hooking it any time soon... Blue skies, Jean Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  7. A beautiful post Wonderwoman. When I first met Tom, he seemed so hard to get to know. We barely spoke. Then I was able to bring him some love from a mutual friend and his eyes lit up and I was at once welcome into his life. I am so thankful I have that day to remember - the day he opened up to me and allowed me to be a friend. Thank you Tom for making the sky bluer and the planet more pleasant. You will be missed. Smiling to you in your heaven where you can jump all day and play all night... "Crazy Legs" - Thanks to your video...

  8. Interesting... Will you share your data on accidents and refereneces? Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  9. When I went home for the holidays I took my nephews out to an arcade and he said,"You're probably used to the old fashioned games where you have to use quarters - we have cards now - I'll show you how to use them." I'm not sure if I was more offended that he called ten years ago old-fashioned, or that I actually had to pay attention to see how it worked and then sat there trying to figure out what 37 points equated to in money I'll take my Atari Frogger any day. Well, as long as I can keep my high speed interent too Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  10. To have learned enough from the challenges of the last year to not repeat the same mistakes in the coming year... Oh yeah, and a nail gun Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  11. Happy Birthday, Walt! Someone give him a big sloppy kiss for me! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  12. Dude, you have clearly been working too hard lately on all of your contracts... As for the sammich I would make... Hmmm... I'm thinking grilled mahi with a nice wasabi sauce, but then again, I've never actually met you and it sounds like you are more of a steak and nobber kind of guy, so maybe just a good old fashioned meatball sandwich slathered in mozarella and marinara (hey, I'm Italian ) Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  13. (Re-post from Bonfire because I didn't know any better ) Hi Gang, I am visiting my dad here in Tampa and his secretary Frankie back in 1980 or 1981 had some type of accident at the Z-Hills DZ and didn't make it. She spent all of her time telling him how safe it was, etc. and then died on a jump. So, I am just wondering if any long-time jumpers might have known her and have some idea about what happened so I can try to explain it to him? I know we never know the whole story, but if gear has changed in the past 20 years or something, it might help me to assure him that while I am participating in a high risk sport, I am also not living a death wish. Thanks, Jean Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  14. Cool! Thanks Michael! Hope you are staying warm back in Texas... Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  15. Dang! I can't decide if you rock or just totally suck Yup, must be that you TOTALLY ROCK! Congrats! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

  17. I just want you all to know that you suck I am sitting here in Tampa and I haven't had a single hour, let alone day, to come and jump. And now, all I hear is how great you are. Geeze. I think I need to either come visit my family more often so I can get some time at the DZ, or just come and not tell any of them I'm here so I can jump at will.

  18. No, totally agree - Laura was awesome. Just figured if there was a skills camp coming up or anything over the next few months, maybe I'd take a few days off and attend. You know they teach Skydive U at San Marcos and if you go there for a long weekend, you may even get to see me Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  19. It was great to meet you Peter! You do exist! I was thinking maybe you were a figment of Bill O'Reilly's imagination. Glad you finally got to jump and maybe I'll get a chance to see it live tomorrow!!! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  20. You run? Where? To the Pony? Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  21. That's awesome! I am actually in Trinity right now and planning to head to Z-hills tomorrow or Thursday depending on when I can get out of the family stuff. Of course, I did get a full day in the tunnel on Sunday, so I can't complain And really, doesn't the tornado just make the jump that much more exciting Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  22. Not unless you find another engineer to be with Or someone who likes pocket protectors! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  23. That is WAY better than a plain old birthday! You Rock! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  24. Not me. Avid smokers hate me. I usually just smoke when I drink. Then, if life gets stressful (like the recent divorce) I start for a month or two and set a deadline to stop. So, I'll quit next Wednesday and wait a few months before I smoke when I drink to be sure it's out of my system. I don't know if I just don't have an addictive personality or if I never smoke more than half a pack a day so the withdrawl is sufferable. Either way, works for me. Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
  25. Not that I know of . . . When I am in front of St. Peter do I get representation by some legal aid guy or can I request Johnny Cochrane? Dude, if he doesn't go to hell, I don't want to go to heaven! Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
