  1. Any of the Herd Boogies. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  2. Due to my spotting experience, I now know exactly where I will land when I fall off a curb. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  3. It's more like....Measure once, ask your buddy.....measure again........cut it wrong.......start over. I loved messing with the youngster's heads. I would always give measurments as 1/4" more than 5'- 5 7/16". Also when I was asked the time, it was 4 minutes past 10 minutes to 3.

  4. You would be amazed at how many people in the construction trades cannot read a ruler! Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  5. I'll be there on the 27th at the latest. Had a great time last year and I'm sure that I'll be repeating the experience again The Bald Guy from Cross Keys Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  6. Your recurrency jump must be supervised by an instructor or coach. After you get to NYC, head down to Cross Keys. They're open all winter (except between Xmas and New Years). Sky's the Limit is also open all year.

  8. Contact DeBeers. They made up the rule. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  9. Pat, You can start on the dropzone.com classified for gear. This will give you a benchmark as to availability and pricing. Your closest gear store or the larger stores have online shopping. Please be careful. Get an opinion of an experienced jumper to prevent scams. Go through a rigger if possible.

  10. I'll be there!!!!! Thankfully, Bud being the cook has cancelled my deep frying a turkey and transporting it. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  11. Please remember that we were all born with the inbred ability to fall. The stretching advice is sound, and your normal workouts are way above the curve for most of us. Get some jumps under your belt and them concentrate on the aches, etc. For myself, whenever the urge to excercise strikes me, I lay down and drink alcohol (used to smoke also) and wait until the urge passes.

  12. Kim, As usual, you've put together an amazing boogie. I should be getting there around the 29-30th after a few days in Z Hills. Really looking forward to it.

  13. Last week I was notified that I had won the British Royal Lottery TWICE. Sent them all of my personal banking info, my social security number, a copy of my driver's license and my mother's maiden name along with a Western Union money order for $1,000. According to their e mail I should have received the International Money Order yesterday, but I'm sure that it's just a postal service screw up. All calls to their number have been unanswered. Probably on vacation. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  14. Robert, First of all, great idea! Of course you will be trying to touch a small audience and none of the young skydiving chicks need any help. They always seem to have enough.

  15. Hopefully the winds will be somewhat calmer than Cross keys tomorrow (35mph). If you ever get to New Jersey, just ask for the rw organizer and I'll jump with you. One of my motto is "No Points, No Problem" ( NP squared).

  17. Have you mad sure your D bag is the proper size? If it's too big, the canopy will expand to fit when packed. Even the next size down might slow things down.

  18. They got them at a great price from Ikea Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  19. Chris, That just about sucks the big one! For some reason I think the county soliciter(lawyer) is involed in this decision. Any plans for having it elsewhere?

  20. Jumping is year round at Cross Keys, IF enough people show up. Never missed a jumpable day yet. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  21. If you notice, dinner is number three on the list. She ended up number 4. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
  22. I was in a relationship when I first started jumping. After getting my A, I was told that all I was concerned about was jumping, sex and going out to dinner. I informed her that she was right and that unless she started jumping she would be personally involved with 2 out of the 3 things in my life. That's a batting average of .666! Hall of Fame numbers! We broke up in a month. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"
