  1. I hear those voices also, and they all seem to be mine. I ride with the window down often.

    I can't figure out the motorcycle riders with tunes playing loud enough to hear a block away as they pass by.

  2. I've had many jumps that got scary as they went along and they only seem scary afterwards, but the scariest of my jumps to make was the first antennae jump with Phil Smith and Phil Mayfield (a philler load). I know it's BASE, but in 1980 pre BASE days it was a skydive with a pucker factor.

    Hi Keith,

    One person spun the arrow




    What's this arrow s***?

    'Back in the day' it was, 'See that field? That is where you should land.'

    :P

    Back in the day = the 60's



    Then, when I came along ('76) it was, "See That field? That is where you should not land."

    The 70's. Gear changed every week. New sky dives. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. No video cameras so you could lie. It wasn't ME that screwed up the formation! DC 3's, Lodestars, Beech's. Then came the turbines. Boooogey's. The birth of AFF and tandems.



    Made my heart rate tick up a little...

    ***Finally! It wasn't raining today, so I pulled away from work early so I still had some daylight left. (It's 5pm here and already dark) I got to French tune my new bow. The next to last shot frayed the string. The final shot centered the string and buried in the target with a 'pop!'.

    Time to go upstairs and shoot the pistol now. I'm getting better, but I seriously miss summer activities.

    The Battle of Agincourt was decided with somewhat simpler ones.


    That's more contraption than it is bow. Here's a somewhat simpler one.

    Best answer so far.
    Another hint: what happened the last time the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was left alone with a keg of brandy?

    There was a keg of Brandy?????

    Saint Bernard dogs are famous for carrying small kegs of brandy tied to their collars.
    The brandy is to revive avalanche survivors.

    Yes, I was using a stereotype: keg of brandy dangling from a St. Bernard's collar.
    I also stereotype Swiss as being great archers, yodelers, alpenhorn blowers, cheese-makers, clock-makers, etc.

    Other days stereotypes get me into trouble.


    Well, maybe a cheese eating yodeler arrowed him at the clock-strike. Does that blow your alpenhorn...
