  5. Sweet Car my friend, I am in the market for a Velocity Yellow O6-this summer or more than likely this fall. The disposable income isn't what it used to be.

Be careful. Peace, Deegs It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  6. It causes SOME people to act foolish. Wow Steve, Saw your post on the haze! What a jerk, hope your ok. Going to Dallas this week end "eh" Be safe. I gave up drinking years ago, I do however do a bit of heroin to take the edge off, but I need to be careful as It's not socially acceptable like booze-JUST KIDDING See ya soon.

  7. A 2006 Velocity Yellow ZO6 with a twin intercooled supercharger. 700HP @ the rear wheels. This will be #8. and if it does not happen it is better to have loved and sold corvette's than to have ever loved one at all. GO FAST. Happy Holidays all It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  8. It is NOT designed for skydiving! Anyone who puts a horizontal stabilizer in direct line with the door is not designing a skydiving plane. It's a frame that was ADAPTED to skydiving. Anyone who says the PAC was designed for skydiving is lieing. Jumped it years ago when it made it's first appearance at the WFFC-it's cramped, the doors built for small people, the only plus is it's quick It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  9. Mid-later life crisis? Nice bike though
  10. 3 chops-the skyhook actually had a reserve fling above my head before I initiated silver. Left that one stowed, however it was costly. I am an instructor, and I think we all wonder if and when it will happen. When it came time to commit I took the "O SHIT" handle and fed it to the sky. So 1st cutaway, new handle, a repack, and my home DZ is a green beer DZ. You do the math. All in all I"m here Blues All, Deegs It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  11. Welcome to the world of blue skies and sweet winds ( well not all the time) learn, listen to those who have gone before you, skydive hard, and be safe Blues, Tim It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  12. Hell I think Im still alive, not sure about our friend tho. Did you find anything out? Well now I feel silly. You quoted Percy Walker, and I was thinking Walker Percy; author of Lost in the Cosmos, subtitled The Last Self Help Book. Mr. Percy, to my surprise, died way back in 1990. Mr. Walker however, died even longer ago, back in 1880. Mr. Percy is an author I recommend very often on the topic of identifying and owning up to who we are. We being any specific individual, not a group of us, or we in a literal sense. I am most relieved to find you are still alive. Thanks Bro, me to

  14. Here's answer #99... #98 A tiffany lamp screwed to the top of my FF2, but had to take it off, it was so 70ish, actually two chem lights-helmet and leg strap-sorry for the smartass comment it just felt like the thing to say. Actually I DID SURVIVE THE SEVENTIES. does that count? CYA, Deegs I have 100+ night jumps, on the ones not requiring pyro... I also use one of those small chem-lights scotch taped right on the face of my altimeter... (I have a 'lighted' altimeter but it's big and a pain in the ass to use, so I don't.) I attach a strobe to the back of my helmet, and a small but bright white led on the front like a 'miners helmet' to be able to check the canopy and see the ground for landing. I made a Velcro wrist 'holster' for a 2AA mag-lite that i don't usually turn on unless i need to see something 'better'...if the sky is gonna be crowded, I take it off my wrist, put it on a rear riser pointing up and it lights up the whole canopy...hard to miss. It's a good idea to keep the use of any white light to a minimum on the front of you, where it could effect your night vision. okay who's got reply number 98?

  15. Is that the 1st time you've understood Cocker Billy I've never heard the fucker. Guess it shows your age, and thats OK. Sister made it there, only if I would have been a couple years older. Peace It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  16. Skydive hard! I was an instructor at FFE in Mt Vernon, also Quantum Leap-was friends with our fellow brothers that went in. Have you had a chance to jump the sweet Beech at Bowling Green? I have it rough here in AZ as I'm 20 minutes from Eloy. Be safe my friend, and enjoy! Tim It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  17. Backslide and silver It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  18. Congrats on the new found sobriety. I survived the 60's and 70's-nuff said. Be careful, O'Douls has trace amounts of alcohol. Through sobriety I obtained my coach, IAD-I, and I shoot vids. Never would have happened with out Bill as my friend. SkyDive Hard, Deegs It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  19. Being alone in the universe, totally peaceful, just you and the stars. It is very close to being out on the open ocean with no lights and no ships around you. I don't think there is anything in this whole world that I like better than doing a high pull on a night jump, hanging in deep deep brakes, and just taking it all in.
  20. Kinda like an orgasm with out the sex! It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  21. It goes hand in hand with a new canopy. Great advice given on this post! It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  22. Yep-from a joint or a pipe with a large bowl. It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
  23. Making a low turn under canopy is a no no! One statement about winds and when to jump and not to jump. I just gotta remember that there are old skydivers and there are bold skydivers-but there are very few OLD BOLD skydivers. Gotta love it It is possible to get all A's in school and still flunk life~Percy Walker
