  1. I think he is talking about the DVD release of LOTR. I am anxiously awaiting that. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  2. "It seems a lot of skydivers were/are in martial arts. I guess it's just one of those things" I have noticed that in this thread. I too was into TKD until I got injured in a tournament. Took a long time to heal from that. Maybe I'll go back some day. Also seems a common thread that many were or are into other xtreme sports. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

    Steve - I agree with you and that is the whole reason to date before committing to a long term relationship like marriage. It takes more than love to make a marriage and during the dating process we learn whether or not we are compatible. After one decides to take the step, then it takes a whole lot of committment on the part of both parties to make it work. When the other person becomes as dear to you as you are to yourself, then wanting to see the other satisfied and happy becomes a source of happiness on your part. I for one have been up and down for the last thirty years of marriage, but I'll stay in it because the downs make the ups so much better. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  4. In my dreams I have been skydiving for years. In actuality, I was born in the sky on July 7, 2002, at Skydive Kansas. I'm a newbie and can't wait for each new jump. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  5. I just downloaded it last night and I already like it. Really easy and it works great. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

    You don't get out much, do you. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  7. That's so you would have a place to put your tennis ball. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  8. "No whuffos at 300" With you at that altitude, the range of the radios will not be 2 miles. It will be more like 30-40 miles, even at low power. Radio waves travel in a straight line and you will effectively have a 3000' tall antenna. I stood on top of a 125' light tower once and was talking to a station 25 miles away with .25 watts output power. Sounds like you have it covered tho. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  9. Just a word of warning. These are not private radio channels and other users can a do use the same channels. If someone were to hear you, they might start interfering with your conversations, or worse, give misleading instructions. We used these radios on vacation to communicate between vehicles and we heard other people on several times. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  10. I was the tandem student. After rigging up, and while walking to the plane, the TM says, "We must be nuts. Gonna jump from a perfectly good airplane." I replied, " I dunno about being nuts. We have parachutes." He says, " Well, all but one of us does." I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  11. If they have some good whitewater you are in for a great time. Not as thrilling as skydiving, but we had a blast when we went on the Snake River in Wyoming. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  12. We've been warned about several of these where I work. Don't delete any file you are told to search for until you check the anti-virus sites. These are files from you Windows operating system. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  13. The entire series by JRRTolkien (Hobbit, LOTR, etc) The Dune series Anything by Ray Bradbury Some by Arthur C. Clark The Illiad I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  14. My face hurts from this silly grin. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  15. I did tandem #1 a couple of hours ago. Now I have an idea what everyone is talking about. I will definitely do it again. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  16. Sorry, my comments didn't get appended. I meant to say I have worked in the railroad industry for many years and alcohol and drug testing is done regularly and randomly on employees who work trackside. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  17. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
  18. I will be making my first tandem skydive on Sunday after dreaming about it for years. Will I be a skydiver? No. Will I have participated in a skydive? Yes. If I continue in the sport only then will I become a skydiver. IMHO. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
