swilled some beer, saw some friends, spotted some loads, surfed some
swoops.

So Snuffy,

Tell us about the last time you were at the DZ. Couldn't reach your toggles
huh?

I heard that you as good as your last skydive... Tell us about that.

Just how many skydives do you have? Be honest. The whole world is listening.

419 or there about....I pretty well quit logging after my D came in, shit I cud
have 700 or so for all I know...the number
isn't important, who taught me & what I learned plus my ability to assay then
translate it, passing it on to the down trodden sheep is whats important...
I don't see any of you USPA skygods
doing much but bitching about it. o~;-*

couldn't reach the left toggle, flew that XL cow back with one toggle against
a quartering wind...not bad for a old guy
who layed out 3 years due to illness huh?

>I heard that you as good as your last >skydive... Tell us about that.

Well I wuz smart enuff to drop the one toggle I had control of before the
spasms
started on my dead side again, broke the tib & fib clean in my bad leg...ankle
cap shattered into 3 pieces. Unable to use crutchs I ended up in a wheel chair
again for 2 years cuz the screw in my ankle wouldn't hold...I walked again sooo
all in all
no reach for a old iron man...I believe Yawl USPA2000 types wudda died or been
in a nursing home cuz yer so physically and mentally weak.

If they aren't logged they don't exist. It's funny how many jumps you can
get when you don't log them.

religiously...shit the up
jumpers didn't even take time out to eat, the Hill used to sell a lotta
hamburgers and longnecks to the upjumpers after dark cuz we wuz all starved &
Wallers little food kitchen shut down about the time last load left the
ground...The yuppies ate lunch like
normal people...We wud be out dirt diving
in the drive and they wud be setting inside eating rabbit food and pasta salads
watching us stir the dust up. ;)P

It's not that they didn't happen, but everyone that I know who doesn't log
always over estimate their jump numbers. I managed more than 1 dz and it was
funny how many jumps they claimed even though I sold them the lift tickets.
I don't care if you log or not just don't try to tell me how many jumps you
have if you don't.

Any moron with half of a brain would not have jumped.

Guess that... oh wait a minute. You only have less than half a brain. My bad.

Guess I am calling you out. See you at Ballunar. I'll be the one with one hand
tied behind my back, and it wont be tied there so that I can skydive either.
Jerry K. can film the whole thing.

Korshak is more than qualified to film it being that he has thousands of jumps
with video, and I dont think he has logged them either in his quest to catch the
next load.

See you at NASA at high noon.

We were sitting around a campfire sucking down rasin jack one night in
Leaugecity when Art and Tom (both dead now) showed me a system bycampfire light
one night after my D came in, someone asked me if I was going to ever JM or get
an E lic?
"HELL NO I'M A SPORT JUMPER!"
so they sed
"don't waste time logging the drone jumps then"
"What about the USPA?"
"Fukkem ya roll the dice
multiply by 10 and send the total to the USPA yearly, they never check logbooks
so they got no idea what you got anyway
Saves a lotta time!"
Now these two guys were something else.
Tom in his 60's had never bothered to get any lic. but the C
Art, when the USPA changed the JM rules
had to go thru the archived spx manifest lists to see how many jumps he had so
he cud git a D ;) I rukun they were teaching me to be a parachutist
and not skydiver...the attitudes and culture were completely different you
know. o~;)P

go ahead and jump it out, theirs a big difference between tieing your hand down
and having a hanging arm and hand thats just disconnected from your brain...the
disconnected type arm spasm's and will
cause the whole left side of yer body to fight you if you strain to reach over
with your good side..See yawl are ignorant about more than basic skydiving,
tell jerryK to quit passing the dumb ass pills around!. btw I went to
Ballunarfest the year Tony fell off the golf cart and dislocated his arm...it
had rained and my wheelchair got stuck in the mud..so I got up and asked my
girlfriend to push it while I hobbled along...cept it wuzzn't my girlfriend it
was some strange woman...I kin't twist around and look back real well..So this
chick sez;
"Say your kinda cute for a old man, give me some tung and I'll push it anywhere
for you darlin."
My girlfriend came over and sez
"Sit down in that damn chair and quit flirting DAMMIT!" She was so damn mad
she pushed me and that wheel chair thru the muddy grass at warp speed...goldamn
Cajun women o~;->

Walther responds...

You keep telling me that we're "bout the same age". Based on a history of
your posts and many of the comments you have made over the past 5-years, you
would had to have joined the Navy when you were just 8-years old in order
for us to be "bout the same age."

I turned 61 years this past June. Perhaps you might like to define "bout the
same age"? ;-)

Walther responds...

Are you a retiree of the United States Navy? Let me make the question
crystal clear. I am defining a retiree as one who spent a minimum of 19
years and 6 months on active duty. You've never actually stated that you are
a retiree. However, given the vast amount of information that you have given
here relative to your military service, it would be quite reasonable for
people to get the impression that you are a retiree.

Just answer the question and keep your comments relative to the discussion.
Social Security has nothing to do with it. Nor does the fact that Jim only
did one hitch.

You have gone on and on here for several years relative to your military
service. Some of the information you have provided, particularly when it
comes to your advisory responsibilities and some of your references to early
duty in the Riverine Force, would, of necessity, place you in the Navy prior
to 1960. Keep in mind, now, that this does not involve any Riverine duty
during the center-cut of the '60s.

Either I have misunderstood you or you entered the United States Navy prior
to 1960. Of course, one cannot ignore your unique proficiency at producing
and perpetuating urban legend fodder and an insatiable appetite for
stringing sheep along, both of which may also have a small role in the
misunderstanding. ;-)

Walther

You would have never survived.
Sooner or later, your know it all attitude would have made you a statistic or

nope shipped over 3 times

>I am defining a retiree as one who spent >a minimum of 19

Nope I wasn't in it for the retirement, I just loved the life...like I said
shipped over 3 times, once more and I wudda made 19 and 6 but I had a epiphany
up on the Qua
Viet in 1969...I just couldn't pull the trigger
and kill that little girl, we skated out of it without a firefight, you or a
civilian might say it was the right thing to do but it endangered my crew &
LT...I put a little girls life above theirs. It was over for me and I knew it
so I just hung it up and threw all those years of service away...May have told
the story in one of my sea story rambles on here. The Navy freaked when I got
out in 1970 rather than take their wonderfull offers to stay in..held me two
weeks past my EOS up at Long Beach till a LtCdr from Coranado could get there
to talk to me...I was straight out of I Corps
and wild as a March Hare...he started fukking with me and I simply said....
"Look Commander tell them to release my
paperwork cuz I not going over the fence
I'll just kill a gate guard and walk out the front, yawl will have hell
explaining that"
He simply studied my face a few minutes and grunted. Next day I had civilian
cloths on, my honorable in my hand and wuz sitting in the skybar at LAX waiting
on a
flight home. ;-/

>references to early duty in the Riverine >Force,

dunno where you got that from I never served with a regular Navy unit in
Vietnam
after the 1960 BSU survey, Strictly MACV & indig forces...see you and Jim were

Hell, if you're making the challenge then etiquette demands that I set
the time, place, and weapons of deciding the argument.

Time: I'm happy to yield that decision to you.
Place: The last place you would prefer but get to choose from -
Beaumont Municipal Airport or the Waller County Golf Course in the
landing area.

Weapons: Saber to five strikes - best two out of three -OR- "Johnny
McEldoo" at 20 paces.

...bsrp
...jlk

-JOHNNY MCELDOO -

There was Johnny McEldoo and McGee and me
And a couple of two or three went on the spree one day
We had a bob or two, which we knew how to blew
And the beer and whiskey flew and we all felt gay
We visited McCann's, Maclaman's, Humpty Dan's
We then went into Swan's, our stomachs for to pack
We ordered out a feed, which indeed, we did need
And we finished it with speed, but we still felt slack


Johnny McEldoo turned red, white and blue
As a plate of irish stew he soon put out of sight
He shouted out "Encore!" with a roar for some more
That he'd never felt before such a keen appetite
We ordered eggs and ham, bread and jam, what a cram
But him, we couldn't ram, though we tried our level best
For everthing we brought, cold or hot, mattered not
It went down him like a shot and he still stood the test


He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard, we got scarred
We thought it would go hard when the waiter brought the bill
We told him to give o'er, but he swore he could lower
Twice as much again and more before he had his fill
He nearly supped a trough full of broth says McGragh
"He'll devour the tablecloth if you don't hold him in"
When the waiter brought the charge, McEldoo felt so large
He began to shout and barge and his blood went on fire


He began to curse and swear, tear his hair in despair
To finish the affair, called the shop man a liar
The shop man, he through out and no doubt, he did clout
McEldoo he kicked about like an old football
Tattered all his clothes, broke his nose, I suppose
He would have killed him with a few blows in no time at all
Mceldoo began to howl and to growl, by my soul
Through an empty bowl at the shop keepers head
It struck poor Mickey Flynn, took the skin from his chin
An eruction did begin and we all fought and bled
The peelers did arrive, man alive, four or five
At us they made a dive for us all to march away
We paid for all the mate that we ate, stood a trait
And went home to ruminate on the spree that day

More like between 250 and 300. You know, that cessation of

Heh - Who taught you? People patient and with an evidently giant
sense of humor. Ability to assay and translate? Sure - explains why
so many of those novices you took up on dives somehow concluded to
jump with other people. Passing it on to the "down-trodden sheep?"
Hell, getting an AOL account isn't too laborious - why, "It's So
Easy!"

>I don't see any of you USPA skygods

Well, we're still jumping but you wouldn't know about that since
you're not on dropzones.

And there is the regular punching of holes into your retarded
assertions thus making you spiral into further stupid ideas and
suppositions until kind of a feedback starts humming along. Why, if
only this power could be harnessed! Screw Cold Fusion. This is
approaching the realm of perpetual motion! Hope the North Koreans
don't catch on.

Beautiful - you get called on jump numbers (a subject which you've

And it gets even better - dire warnings suggesting you'd even kill him

Ah, Tom, whatcha gonna do? Yo, hide out at the dz - he'll never come
hunting for you there.

So, let's be clear - is this contract on Tom's life gonna get
relegated to having Big Earl RN supposedly taking the contract like
when you said last month you were gonna tear my head off and shit down

So, if you were flying against a quartering wind, suggesting you were
actually flying instead of spending the canopy ride trying to get that
toggle, ultimately to the point to where the ground all of a sudden
came up and it turned out to be tarmac, if you were flying the Cloud,
how come you didn't fly yourself to where you could have avoided the
tarmac?

But not smart enough to attempt to unstow the opposite toggle first so
that if you discovered then that you could not (because you hadn't
taken the time to hang in a harness after a three year layoff to see
if it could be done) then you would have been at half brakes, flying
straight towards your objective lz (or rear risering yourself with
your good arm towards a heading leading towards the dz) as opposed to
being in a turn and losing altitude having dropped the toggle when the
spasms were happening and you would have certainly been still in half
brakes upon touchdown. Not too smart.

Actually, in his defense (can you believe your eyes?!) he had to make
that jump 'cause at one time he really enjoyed jumping and he was
really jonesing for a jump. We all can relate to that. Where it all
went bad was his inability (poor training, arrogance?) to think it
through and instead of ignorant faith he'd be able to reach both
toggles and flare to an extent into a PLF and going up and attempting
that, instead of not consulting with the medical profession beforehand
and taking steps to buttress his already weakened leg and bones before
he went up, he should have had half a clue to put himself in a hanging
harness and try unstowing the toggles out, practiced the dive on the
ground and taken steps to brace his weakened leg for impact before he
put himself in the corner which ultimately cornered him from ever
possibly being able to skydive again while wearing a parachute. He
didn't think things through and he screwed himself. There's a lesson
in there for everyone.

Not a bad idea - it's not like the Johnson Space Center is a dropzone
- just an LZ for the jumpers during the festival. Hell, come on out
to Ellington, hang out in the FBO with the jumpers and the cute girls
behind the reception counter. Take a ride in the CASA we'll be
jumping - you don't even have to watch people land. JSC is a cool
place to be.

Hell, any yahoo can shoot ground spectacle and I've been looking

being supposed upon, uh...I think I'm gonna puss out on this one -
that guy shouldn't be in the air (as evolution has had its say) and
more fool anyone who ever took that chance. Doesn't matter, he won't
show. He's scared of living, is all.

Logging is more of an end of the day thing for me although as soon as
I got down after the load after my first reserve ride (quick
turnaround, multi-rigged) and had a moment - I logged that one.

Why not make it Friday, late afternoon - c'mon Buda-Kup, I'm sure we
can swing ya into being treated like the rest of us to the free
steaks, taters, and all the rest of the grub we'll be chowing down on
that evening. Typically, after everyone's fed and we start getting
liquored up is when the teams are announced and people start their
dirt-dives for the first dive the next day. It's gonna be bigways -
c'mon out, pick a team (or not), and tell 'em how it's done. You'll
get to do your act live in front of a captive audience and you'll
*never have to set foot onto a dz*.

Geez - so let's be clear about this - you reached up and unstowed the
break knowing that you would be steering with one hand and after you
unstowed it you *let it go* !?

You should have realized this would occur on the jump and planned for
it accordingly - not hanging in the harness and not testing out your
plans on the ground becomes even more stupid - I mean, you didn't have
a clue that the toggle would go up, out of reach once you let it go?
What the hell were *you* jumping?

Carumba! What kind of dipshit D's were they turning out when you
bought yours from uspa?

When word came down that HQ was changing the rules on JM..he panicked
"Wow I don't think I have the 200 required for a D" Scared the shit out of him
so
Linsay dug out dusty file box's of paper manifest sheets...a team poured over
them for days...Art had 6 or 800 jumps just at SPX...so not logging does have
some drawbacks...Me and old tom were drunk and needling him
"HEY ART!"
"WHAT?"
"Roll the dice and multiply by 1,000

But how can you exempt people you like when they do things or
represent ideas you don't like?

>besides poor old art under estimated...

"Poor Old Art!" If Art was anything other than the nice, super, sweet
and brilliant guy I knew him to be he'd spit in your eye for such a
pandering statement. I've changed the terms of the duel - if you
choose Saber at Waller or Beaumont it will be 5 for 7 because I would
rather humiliate you longer.

Everything's a roll of the dice but if you study the game, choose the
right set of dice, don't bet more than you can pay, think things
through, and throw them on the right table, the odds are longer you'll
throw craps.

Fine, fine, Saber's a wolf with a little bit of dog somewhere but if
you wish to use him as a weapon, fine by me but it will be up to you
to arrange for his cooperation. Otherwise, no worries. I have two

Amazing how the convienent excuses suddenly can appear. The mind
boggles.

Sure, sure - nevermind you were jumping TwinT's at SpaceX, Anhuac,
Beaumont, and Waller but what about when you were at Ballunar? Why'd
you let your nurse make you go? - Tell anyone you were a skydiver?
Regale anyone with stories? Look in the air and wish you'd been
invited? Bet you had to pay to get in like any other whuffo!

As far as Ballunar turning into some big dz political affair, no -
just three groups of 30 or so doing six rounds of rw out of the CASA
plus crew and freefly, and landing at NASA which is fun because the
rest of the year we'd either get shot down or arrested.

Saber is that. While other dogs would come up and hang out hoping for
a snack, Saber'd sneak around and come from behind, taking the whole
sandwich on a blind pass. Seen it more than once.

So, still waiting for you to set the date and time at Beaumont
Municpal.

Custom dicates that I, as the one who was challenged, am allowed to
set date, time, place, and choice of weapons. I yielded the date and
time to you but place you've already agreed to as Beaumont Municipal
and the weapons of choice are either Saber or "Johnny McEldoo" at 20
paces - which you've yet to definitively choose from as I also have
afforded you that choice as well. So, you made the challenge and I
have accepted as I have stated the terms and all that's left is for
you to make some choices. To do otherwise is most cowardly.

So, tell me how a set team of demo jumpers, captained by an employee
of a certain business, and utilized for that business' promotion has
any connection to Mega dz politics - especially at a demo? What,
you're saying you went to Ballunar to only watch three or four demo
jumpers jumping canopies displaying a business logo? I know for a
fact they were doing bigways at Ballunar before you ever went to the
festival in a wheelchair. Ever jump there? Heh -you probably tried
to get on and they took one look at you, caught a whiff of your
skydiving abilities and your habit of dangerous idiocy, and quickly
weighed the pros vs. the cons of having you jump into a demo while
laughing all the way to the dirt-dive. Gad, that must have burned.

Yet, you were at SpaceX when they had a TwinT as you were at Beauomnt
when they had theirs and as you were at Waller and continued to return
to all those dz's while they had theirs.

It's been a boogie since at least 1995 when I first went (just a
couple hours after my first jump) and about commerce, well, there are
arts and crafts and it is sponsored by remax so their name out there
but as for the skydiving? Nope, just skydivers doing a little
friendly competition bigways.

>surrounding dz's and skydivers
>other than a spot on sharp demo quallified team are involved,

Ah, there's the rub - if it had been just a demo team who you
certainly would never had had a chance to be involved with, much less
probably interested in being involved with, then that would be one
thing but since it was made up of fellow skydivers who you actually
knew, fellow skydivers who got *invited* to particpate while you
somehow were left out, this is just sour grapes working here. "Waaaaa
- no one wanna to pway wid meeeee!!!"

>Chucks
>involved...ya got a whole 9 yards of dz politics right up front now...

Chuck? He's just a team captain who'll fill his team with the best
skydivers he can so his team can make a go at winning the meet.
What's your beef with Chuck? You try to get on one of his dives and
he had to tell you he'd already filled his slots? Sounds about right.

>In the
>begining us funjumpers were at our own dz's jumping while Ballunar went...

Well, perhaps the funjumpers who weren't invited - the rest of the
funjumpers were probably out there.

>First
>time I ever attended was after gitting out of ICCU & Rehab in 96

Heh - I was out there too but I wasn't jumping either. I only had
about 150 jumps by that point - but I still got invited to hang out
with my friends who were jumping. Sounded like fun and it was.


>My opinion?
>

>john.

Can be hot, can be muddy, shade can be found, and there's hordes of
shitters. Now, along with the bad comes the good - fun dives, cool
plane, great parties, friendly competition, excited children, easily
impressed whuffo chicks, and the general craziness which always occurs
when you put a bunch of skydivers together for any length of time.

>If active, I wouldn't go back I'd be somewhere else in Texas jumping! o~;)P

Not that you'da been invited of course - dz politics (and nothing
else) would have seen to that. <snerk>

Yep, newer than most. It's not saying much but I still got more
jumps, more airtime, more experience, and more time in the sport than
you ever had before you took yourself out.

Just the same, he'll put together a team and he is a skydiver with

That is as may be but I know enough to thus far and after a longer
amount of time and more experience in the sport than you ever came
close to accruing to (knock wood) not take myself out of the sport nor
have I been indelibly labelled and remembered as a dangerous idiot -
unlike you.

Rhetorical bullshit. So, describe some of these "fuk yer buddy
schemes" you suggest Chuck has. More sour grapes - Chuck's been in
the sport longer than you yet somehow avoided having to retire due to
his own mistakes and inability. Nonje too zen, Buda-Kup.

That's never stopped you from latching on in the past.

Walther responds...

I am very familiar with the villiage of Qua as well as the river. I asked
the original question because of the confusion over the island of Que
(pronounced whey). I flew many missions using those markers. I also flew one
against Que that was most memorable.

I have spent a great deal of time over the past couple of years trying to
determine the actual name of the Riverine Patrol Coxwain who, without a
doubt, was most intrumental in me being alive today. You had mentioned in a
post about two years ago that you were involved with the Riverine Patrol. I
can't pull the precise post out but I do remember you talking about it. I
remember questioning you as to whether or not you had maintained contact
with those folks over the years and you replied that you had not.

I thought that, since his last name was Smith, it might have been you.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I was able to get the records of those
involved. His last name was Smith but he had a different first name. He is
still alive but in very bad physical condition. I have been in touch with
his family, however.

Regards

Walther

Nope never served in the Riverine, strictly with the Vietmanese on river junks,
we worked combined operations several times
but our fighting style was different due to boat style...7 or 8 knots was the
best we could do so they wuzzn't no sweeping by firing for us...We generally
turned bow in,
closed and slugged it out. Builds charater I'll tell you that! ;)P
