I was driving through town yesterday and saw a big banner across the road that said "Home Coming Weekend". It got me thinking, Now the home coming king and queen could both be males.

That reminds me of something a friend told me years ago. He worked for a company that had fork lifts in a large building and they had back up horns. One agency regulation said they had to be a minimum or "X" decibels and another agency said they could not exceed "X" decibels. What they did is stuff a rag in the horns and depending what agency came to inspect, they would leave the rag in the horn or pull it out.

You have to install a stereo system and speakers in the rear of the car so you get that exhaust noise from the acceleration and shifting. Otherwise it's just not the same.

The first thing I thought of when I saw Trump's picture was "What me worry", Alfred E. Neuman.

Friend wants to drop me from his plane

There is the possibility that the jump may void the aircraft owners insurance. -
My demand charge is based on the maximum KW or current draw each month, not the total electric use or KWH. For example, when my water pump starts on my air compressor starts, there is a momentary surge in KW or current draw. For me, that usually runs about 6KW. I pay about $10 per KW each month so 6 X $10 = $60 per month on top of the actual KWH usage for the month or $720 per year. My total monthly electric bill runs about $130 per month. This is all because I am a commercial account. The electric company told me the only way I can eliminate the demand charge is go 12 months and not exceed 1 KW which is impossible. My house is a residential account and there is no demand charge so when the water pump or our air conditioner starts and there is a peak KW, I am not charged. Most 3 bedroom homes with 4 occupants use more electricity each month than my operation.

I am not saying an electric truck is not more economical. Please explain where the $0.07 comes from. Does it include the KWH charge, delivery charge, meter charge, demand charge, taxes and other fees. My small operation is deemed commercial so I am billed for a demand charge and it amounts to almost 1/2 my electric bill.

The good news is there are fewer morons, fools and gillible idiots.

As a going away present for the conscripted soldiers, their family should give them a white handkerchief for good luck. Available from amazon for $9.49 for a package of 9, 100% cotton.

I know someone who years ago used to make his own stow bands out of bicycle inner tubes. They come in different sizes and he would cut them to the width that he wanted. I don't know if he still does it but it may be worth a try if we can't get good quality rubber bands any more.

It is interesting that people believe in God but not Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, or the Great Pumpkin.

I am a Parachutist Magazine hoarder - help!
Bigfalls replied to theQ's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I had 40+ years of Parachutist and all of the Skydiving Magazines. I listed them in the classifieds for free and found a taker. I saved the very first Skydiving Magazine and still have it.- 7 replies

Hug your friends and tell them how much they mean to you before you read about them in the Blue Skies Forum

I found the following posted on Skydive Finger Lakes Facebook, link below. The legal dispute with the owner of the Ovid Airport is over. The judge ruled in favor of the Airport owner and against the owners of Skydive Finger Lakes. Their statement "Our legal team is still confident that we will prevail in the end;" is misleading since the ruling has already been made against them. Announcement! We are temporarily closed for the 2022 season. As you may know already, we're currently engaged in a legal dispute against the owner of the Ovid Airport. For long months we were under instructions to operate like normal and expect to open any day, but that any day has dragged on for what feels like forever. Our legal team is still confident that we will prevail in the end; however, it's late enough in the season that we can't realistically start jumping this year. Continuing the life and culture of this historic DZ is incredibly important to Jeff and I; we want nothing more than to keep skydiving alive at the Ovid Airport for all of our amazing tandem and AFF students. Unfortunately, we have simply been left with no good choices in this situation. I apologize for not posting this update to Facebook sooner- between ADHD and these very trying times, my best is not cutting it. All of our current appointments were notified and canceled two weeks ago, as well as their deposits refunded to their place of origin. Gift certificates are valid for an additional 3 years past the printed date, and we can't wait to go above and beyond for our incredibly patient gift certificate holders and tandem students in 2023! https://www.facebook.com/FingerLakesSkydivers/

Maybe it should be called "anatomy reassignment surgery". The chromosomes are still the same.

Any news from the recent USPA Board meeting.

Now if we had a nuclear powered jump plane, it would only have to be fueled every few years. You could fuel it during the week so you wouldn't miss a weekend.

Then give it a social security number and tax the heck out of it.
