  1. Very sad to hear about the loss. Perhaps next year? Another attempt?
  2. I'm only at jump 125......i think it would be cool....but maybe next year>
  3. So why did i take 4 shorts? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

  5. Yeah it's been a bad 10 years for the middle class. And with comments about the lowest paid american worker making 10 times too much compared to the best paid Chineese worker...I can't help but wonder how long before the middle class evalporates. As a good friend who works for the World Bank stated (and this pissess off our GOP friends) "the rich will get richer, the poor will die off and the middle class better learn how to speak spanish" My friend told me this 10 years ago when Jesus H Bush took office....and sadly it has been very right.

  6. http://skipro.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/t/strada-glove.jpg I'm using something like this. I can move all my fingers and thumb and it keeps the hand warm but the tips of my fingers....OUCH! COLD!

  7. Very true! Very very true. but not every one can be or should be in direct services industry. After all if too many guys start doing what you are doing you would make less. And you don't want that. Let alone what do you do if no one had a boat? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  8. Yeah i know how he is. I just spent an hour answering emails from friends asking "So who was the old guy on tv!" Sigh...that producer needs to be taken out and shot! For not putting up his name when they showed him on Dicsovery.. Ok that aside, leather gloves? Right now I'm using neoprean gloves. I like them for two reasons. One they have feel. In that i can still feel the hackey. The other is that they are "sticky" and grabbing is much easier. But I will have to dig out my motorcycle stuff and see what i can find. With respect to the cold. Is there anything we should be on the look out for with respect to our safety equipment? AAD's or other that may be affected by the cold? Thank you!

  9. I may have to read this book! Sure it will piss me off and get my stomach acids going but I think it may be good to read! Two of the best quotes she got from a hedge fund managers were 1) The lowest paid manufacturing worker here in the US makes 10 times what the best manufacturing worker in China makes and we need to change that! 2) The American middle class is no longer my problem. You know in the 80’s we had this outward view of I got mine so fuck off. And well yeah they did. But you know what….this shit is getting fucked up! Back in the 80’s china was a dirt road country and the best things you could get from them were paper products and maybe some steel. Now before you get all hissy pissy and I know you want to. I’ve been to China, and let me tell you…for the price we pay for one engineer here in the US I could hire an entire floor of engineers in china! Shit you not..a floor of them! So the question is simple, are you willing to take a 90% cut in pay and quality of life so that you may be economically viable? And before you think you bankers are safe…..i bet I could have you replaced just as easily. I guess the only safe jobs are home health aids and doctors! Welcome to the new future I guess?

  10. The price of food is going up due to the price of energy going up so can't it be argued that we are in fact in an inflated state? I mean i know looking at my shopping bills over the past two years...i would say i'm paying a little more than i did a few years back.

  11. Yes I was amazed how much more thirsty i was after just one jump! And on my last jump this past Saturday when it was 40F on the ground and very colt at altitude i had dressed in layers and my core temperature was warm. And though i was wearing wake board gloves...and though the palm of my hand was warm the tips of my fingers were painfully frozen.

  12. So for you guys who were around back then. How did we get out? And is it even viable anymore? I recall back in the 80's we still had a good number of factory jobs and China was just a poor third world country. Seeing how that 7%-10% unemployment is almost the new normal and prices either holding steady or climbing. How can we pull out of this flat spin?

  13. OMG that's so funny considering USAF's Project Mogul Was that the one where teh USAF was dropping off dummies from 100k ft which may have been misidentified as aliens?

  14. Skygod willing it will be a mild winter. And maybe those of us here in the north east may get some mid winter jumps. When jumping in the winter what should a new jumper watch out for with respect to both equipment as well as body? Thanks in advance!
