I'm still too new at this to know, but based on what I've heard so far, wouldn't that depend on the canopy? As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

I'm not sure about that ... I think that until they get all the new machines built and in place, there is still a significant danger in terms of checked baggage also. The equipment in use to scan luggage, etc. at most airports is not able to detect a lot of things, and there is a shortage trained dogs.

well ... didn't read ALL the posts on this thread ... but WILL be concerned about anyone who does NOT post on it!! As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

Money isn't entirely the problem ... tho I agree about the level of people hired to operate the security mechanisms ... a large part of it right now is availability. I read an article about it recently, and tho I won't quote numbers that I don't correctly remember ... there ARE machines now available to do the job right, but (1) they can't make them fast enough to meet the demand for all the airports and (2) they are VERY expensive ... so of course, Unca Sam (re: taxpayers) will foot the bill ... the government taking over responsibility for airport security was the first step in that direction, since they knew the airports/airlines would not be able to pay for what they percieve as the necessary level of security and survive.

agree with earlier posts ... could be he's just not that interested, and his way of letting you know that ... or he already has something else lined up for the weekend ... or ... worst case ... his work means more to him than you do ... also agree with the advice ... cutaway time .. good luck! about the online stuff ... all I can say is be very cautious .. especially long distance ... I use ICQ a bit (not out looking for women .. to talk to friends and family), and got messaged by someone who I ended up talking to for over a year ... finally she came for a visit, which went quite well ... then I get a letter from her husband ... she'd told me she got divorced 5 years before ... and she knew VERY well from discussions that I'm not the type to screw around with married women ...

I agree ... was the whole point in writing that ... LOL ... I'm a Pack fan ..

so you hang out with Catfish and crew? ... will have to watch for the lemon tape ... am sure I know what you look like, at least ... As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

Hisgoofyness ... we'll be in the Anchorage area at least twice ... to pick up and drop off my friend's wife (we're driving up after Lost Prairie) ... did you do any fishing while there ... will be the main gist of that part of our trip? Sangiro ... GREAT shots ... especially like the ones of the burgs/yaks ... must have been awesome to yak around those things ... thanks for the link!

that must be a Cali thing ... a way to differentiate them from the other types of the wackos out there ... believe they call them "challenged" around here ... guess ya just gotta be a Texan to understand our version of special

someone needs to talk to those weathermen ... don't they know the only thing frozen we're supposed to see outside this time of year is in coolers?? As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

well .. can't really address the rigger aspects ... but pricewise, my VooDoo was in the same vicinity as other popular rigs I priced ... and it IS comfy and freefly friendly As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

have you heard if they're gonna set it up to bring the plane in and try this weekend, weather permitting??

Thanks! I'll tell the powers that be (I'm mainly a passenger and fishing buddy for the Alaska part of the trip) and see if we're going anywhere near there. Other than being around Anchorage to pick up his wife and ship her back home, don't really know where we're headed ...

X-ray vision ... LOL ... would tell you what kinda panties you have on if you HAD some on ... [grin]

thanks ... will do ... and no shit about the awesome scenery!!

looks like we'll be heading that way from Lost Prairie ... fishing mainly, but I know there's at least one dz ... anyone been up there? Any info appreciated!

wish to hell that WOULD take care of it ... have tried the OTC stuff, some scrip stuff ... even some steroid stuff .. they've done a ct scan on my sinuses ... stuck little tiny video cams up my nose ... all sortsa stuff ... can't figure out what the deal is ... pain in the arse!! A guy at Waller I talked to had a tube put in his eardrum ... think I'm gonna try that when I get the $$$.

would love to ... but unless they figure out/fix my ear problem before then ... is a long expensive trip for my one jump for that week ... LOL

well, I'm new on here since you have been gone, I guess ... but welcome back

We're the mighty cowboys ... our offense moves the ball ... Our defense stops the other team ... our kickers beat them all ... But that's just on this arcade game ... we wish it was for real ... We know it’s back to normal ... when we actually take the field Our offense it will suck again ... the ball moves the wrong way .. Our defense just flat won’t exist ... they’ve gone to church to pray .. Our kickers kick their own damned shins ... we might as well desist ... And special teams, well they’re a treat .. for the other team, that is .. But wait until next year comes round .... much better we will be ... Our draft picks they should help a lot ... they’ll suit us to a tee .. We’ll draft one guy to get our stash .. and keep him out of jail .. But if he gets there anyway .. old JJ has the bail .. Or we might try a different way .. free agents we could get .. Safe passage for our stash might be .. to ride on the team jet .. The writers they say that we’re close .. and getting so much better .. But if they were on high school teams .. most of these guys wouldn’t letter .. Good players, they want out of here .. with JJ they will plea .. Please just let us go our ways .. to anywhere we’ll flee .. The fans they don’t want us to leave .. it’s really not a sin .. To want to go to a decent team .. where we might actually win .. A real coach sure would help our cause .. and keep us all in line .. And maybe play a season through .. without a major fine .. But JJ has to interfere .. and stick his nose right in .. No decent coach puts up with that .. they’ll not come work for him .. Where are the days of Staubauch .. and good old Danny White .. We wish that they were not so old .. they’d surely help our plight .. Old Tom was not Lombardi .. but still a damned good coach .. We wish they’d never sold the team .. to JJ, he’s a roach .. The traditions of Drew Pearson .. Dandy Don and Bobby Hayes .. And of Newhouse and Don Renfro .. we surely miss those days .. Calvin Hill and Tony Hill .. oh, the offenses we’ve had .. But now-a-days the offense .. well, at best, it is just bad .. And the defenses with Lilly .. Randy White, Jeffcoat and Pugh .. They look at the Cowboys now .. they’re glad that they are thru .. Harvey Martin and Gene Lockhart .. Lee Roy Jordan, oh the glory .. Such great defenses way back then .. that’s no longer the story .. If those guys were here now .. hate to hear just what they’d say .. We’ve brought dishonor to the team .. for which they used to play .. They see enormous payrolls .. and can’t imagine why .. Its such small player effort .. that all those millions buy .. We’re so happy now to be this way .. those old guys must be fools .. They played for hard for oh so little .. those teams paid like schools .. If it’s effort that they want to see .. well then they ought to rank .. How hard we drive our Porsches .. taking our checks to the bank .. Yes, we’re the mighty cowboys .. at least we were, way back .. We hope to be again, someday .. there’s so much that we lack .. We hold our heads up, anyway .. and maybe shed a tear .. Cause we know we’re the cowboys .. and we’ll suck again next year ..

sometimes bodys have a way of remembering weekends even if brains don't??

uh oh .. sounds like a TSip slipped in here ... lol .. ok ... tit for tat ... Aggie is just finishing taking a leak when the TSip walks in ... sees the Aggie head for the door, and being the typically snooty TSip ... says to the Aggie ... "What ... didn't you momma teach you to wash your hands after you take a leak?" ... Aggie turns and tells him "nah ... my mamma taught me it was better to just not pee on them"

fight like Santa Anna huh? ... LOL ... nah ... it's not being from Texas that did it ... went to the current home of AggieDave for a year ... musta had a bad effect on me ... lol ..

oh ... and just for the record ... guess it WAS the age ... they didn't have those when I was a kid ... just put em on the same bus as everyone else and made one extra stop ... were already stopping at 2 schools anyway, since all ages were on the same bus .... lol ...

neither ... I walked about 3 miles so I didn't have to ride a bus ... HATE those things ... LOL ... and was a nice stroll thru the woods ... got to school in a good mood
