Here is something to think about;
If it "needs to be recalibrated", has it been safe to jump with in the
recent past?

maybe the kid is a tree jumper ;)
$169. plus $79 if you need a new battery..
and less for shipping, what is this recalibration shit? Their supposed to be
self calibrating...might have to send the sucker to Europe and learn to jump
without one for a while...no telling what it costs over there. Good luck Mr.
attitude, yer gonna have to git used to spel natzi's around here, they know
perfectly well what you mean but chose to be twits

I don't trust my life to my CYPRES. I only have it so that in case I croak
in free fall the DZ Staff won't have to spend a long time picking me up.

4 year service plus a battery will cost about $180-$200 depends on where you
are, shipping, etc. Timing depends on when you do it. A couple of weeks
minimum and if you wait for spring jumping to really crank up, they get
backed up.

If you feel ya need a sapress to jump, perhaps you shouldn't jump, Jimbo's

beer & junkfood have set him as a standard of expecting a cardio vascular

up...floating indicates a wide body problem ass wise...the kids prolly gonna be

Again with the money thing - none too zen, budda-kup. How's it go?

If you gots to ask, you ain't ever gonna know and even though it's a

>I live on a fixed
>income
>in Valhalla
There is no fixed income in Valhalla. In Valhalla, the least of
Asgaard's concerns is income. More like the nightly revels and
perhaps the certaintly of the coming Ragnarock but even then, when the
giants come and the Serpent coils and Fenris howls, do you think Thor
or Loki is going to go traipsing up to Odin, helmet in hand while
avoiding Odin's eye, gurgling some worldly whine about fixed income?
>for sure but DZ's are expensive
And again with the merchant mentality as substitute for an excuse.
Better get back to the party platform or all those warrior budda-kups
butt-buddies of yours are gonna boot you from the club.
>and the USPA I knew is gone....
Nevermind that there are dropzones across the world, even some in the
United States, that were never a part of USPA, politically correct
version (depending solely on the short time when you were jumping) or
otherwise. Oh, yeah - that's a nice whine - "I can't skydive because
the USPA I knew is gone! Waaaa!" Nope, that ain't it - skydiving
exists outside of USPA so that excuse hardly flies.
>don't seem to be nothing but young, humorless city anals left in the sport
What do you know about the sport considering you aren't even in the
sport, considering you haven't been to a dropzone in years,
considering you might read a periodical from time to time or catch
some episode of Real TV every now and then, considering what you read
in an electronic newsgroup, considering denizens of said electronic
newsgroup who might disagree with your line of bullshit and call you
and it for what it is, does not the sport of skydiving make? Nope,
some lameass fear of "young, humorless city anals" ain't gonna fly,
either. Besides, haven't you often said you only went to dz's to jump
- the people (young, humorless city anals, notwithstanding) were
beside the point?
Skydiving, as you've often said, is about freedom and if people choose
not to jump on some given day, (as jb could have but what the fuck do
you know about that?) that's their choice and it's not for you to
judge their reasoning because if you do, as is evident here, you
yourself will also be judged and is so often the case, time after
time, your choices, reasoning, and decisions will be found lacking.

Like I said - you would cast some blanket assessment based upon where
someone lives? Well, since turnabout is indeed, fair play, let's see,
let's see....and where do you live? Why, you live in a beat up
trailer in the woods (none too far from Jasper, TX btw), rarely
venturing too far from the satellite tv or the internet like so many
inbred and ignorant trailer trash who managed to chisle themselves a
fixed income - like some baboon who's found baboon Valhalla - a
remote and dirty gully in which to hide from that which worries him
and to calm his fears in. Sure, the sun beats down and it stinks of
accumulated spore but at least you can find a grub or two to gulp down
without venturing too far and having to risk being chased by the lions
or the eagles.

Hmmm...I seem to remember you getting ejected from the sport as a
result of some sort of lemming action under a (good) canopy. Let's
explore the further - to start with: someone told you to jump so you
jumped (lemming behavior certainly). There's more examples...

Well, little draft dodgers like JerryK might look at it different, The VA
system in Texas runs pretty smooth as long as you go thru a satalite...A lotta
the big city vets seem unhappy with the ER down in Houston, I took a bud down
there last year
and had to set around listening to the walk in's bitching...The system is great
for semi healthy old farts like me who can wait to see a VA doc out at one of
the Satalite units...All I need is a semi yearly checkup and 5 or 6
perscriptions which they generally mail to ya...Hell ole Leroy next door, they
even mail him his postate cancer shots...The VFW runs a shuttle down to the
Houston VA once a week so its better than the medicare system...specially on
scripts. Ya gotta take the Doctor they assign you but thats OK by me
also....K.A, had his Gall Bladder taken out, the MD down in Beaumont decided it
was necessarry...sent him to Houston. Wham Bam thank you Mam and it was a done
deal, went right thru the system..Lufkins got the best heart unit...City boys
kin't seem to stand much pain and try to go directly to the VA in Houston
without passing thru a satalite first and they get the run around it
seems...Whats up with city people anyway? Are they pussys to the last man? ;->

Pay per view? On a fixed income. Well, whadya know? You could be
taking that pay per view outlay and spending it on going to dz's and
giving back but no, you gotta kick back on your chaise lounge with a
box of bon-bons watching your All-Day Ticket of "Ya-Ya Sisterhood."
Cloistered and secluded with your citified electronic toys, shoveling
grubs, bon-bons, and tofu for the distraction. All that's missing is
the luxury SUV to drive to Whole Foods Market as you "rough it" in the

Does she know about how big you talk in here? I'm guessing since you
gotta take her orders and eat her food when she says so she might be
slightly bemused about the airs you like to put on in this locale.

No difference as far as Texas is concerned. Panthers, cougars, pumas,

>Well, little draft dodgers like JerryK might look at it different,
The way I see it is the only thing you've been fucking is yourself.
But then, you'll have to excuse me for dodging the draft, I tried to
get drafted, I really did - I was slack on my elementery school
homework, wrote Nixon a letter expressing my confusion about what he
said vs. what he did, scribbled "Agnew is a Clown" inside my locker...
but in 1973, in the last days of the draft, the only service hungering
for young boys was the Navy. Anyway, it was clear at the time that
Rickover was starting to lose his marbles around then so that wasn't
going to be an option no matter how much candy that creepy navy rep
kept absently pushing across the desk towards me over at the center.
As for the other branches, they all took one look at me and suggested
I I go through puberty, put on some weight, and at least be a
teenager for a few years before I set about to get drafted. I told
them the Navy wanted me but they, as a group, just got this disgusted
look and encouraged me to never, ever talk take candy from one of
"those navy perverts." The funny thing is that when I graduated
college, the Navy was hot on me from about six weeks before I was out
and for about six months afterwards. All sort sorts of crap - "I'd be
flying F14's, Top Gun, See the World, KickAss..." - the guy was
obviously a lying puke but he wasn't trying to slide me candy anymore.
Must have been the puberty that hit back in junior high that turned
him off.

Well, yeah - you were a huge contributer to all that inflation - labor
costs are instrumental in causing inflation. That said, who pays for
your Pay Per viewings of "In the Bedroom" and "The Sweetest Thing?"
Sure, the credit cards do but either you're stealing from the
satellite outlet, the credit people, or someone's paying them and if
you're paying them, well - it's your money but I guess it's just over
my head how someone would prefer sitting in a trailer watching chick
flicks as opposed to taking that frivolous spending and every now and
then giving back to the sport (tm.) while keeping in line with your
party platform of admonition in here.

It's a put up or shut up kind of thing. You're doing the chicken

the bullet and do the right thing...or just flip it over to Oprah when
you're done watching "Glitter" and "Coyote Ugly" on Pay Per View.

No, no - there was that dingleberry incident the runway experienced in
Beaumont - I do believe you were actually *in the sport*, actually
*trying to make a comeback* (which you have past admitted to - shall I
google it for you?), trying to get back to your "125 - 150 jumps per
year" when the runway took the hit but continued on being a runway as
you were wheeled off and out of that sport which you were only a short
time earlier, certainly not at all at that time ejected from.
>I never jumped a skygoddy canopy in my
>life...
And it was rare that you ever cleanly landed any canopy you ever
jumped in your life but no, maybe not, but then, there was a time,
certainly before your time, when perhaps a Falcon was state of the art
and even "skygoddy" depending upon who you talked to. Whatever you
were jumping, it was clearly somewhat outside of your range of ability
to consistantly and safely land. Wow, talk about a parallell! I
wonder if, after you assaalted the runway at Beaumont with your face,
there was a hue and cry to keep "Screw You Into the Ground" XL Clouds
out of the clutches of inexperienced canopy pilots or just away from
idiots....hmmm.
>well a sabre once or twice maybe
I'd say a *loaded* saber can be quite high perfromance but I think
there's some canopy envy going on if you equate high-performance as
indicative of "skygoddiness."
>but
>they were old technology by then with the batwings and all such shit out
Old technology, sure, by comparison, but certainly capable of getting
you downfine if you were heads up and of killing your ass if you
weren't. As for the Batwing, does it bother you that a REAL old-time
jumper, a REAL organizer, a REAL character, a REAL skydiver with
stories and history and such past infamy as to be famous was a
hard-core test-jumper for the Bwing? That he had *anything to do*
with "such shit?" Does it bother you that Carbone still jumps (last I
heard) "such shit" as a Bwing?
Knowing Scotty, he'da jumped with you because he's that kind of guy
but, shit for sure, he'd be hounding you to buy a shitload of beer for
your aerial transgression afterwards.

Pay attention, dolt. It's not as if I haven't said it a bunch and
it's not as if you don't also use it as a line - Give Back (tm.)
You're often on whoever about the whole GB angle so it's not
unreasonable to expect from you that which you expect from others.
Now, as for self important, ect - what makes you say that I am that
keeping in mind that all you know is about what occurs in here and my
"contribution" in here consists for the greater part in calling you on
the pretense, posturing, idiocy, and lies as well as arguing how such
assessments on my part are valid - coupled with, of course, some basic
ridicule because that usually gets the chicken dance going on. Oh
yeah - I'm a detractor to what you pronounce from your little soapbox
and *that*, in your eyes, is somehow tantamount to being
self-important. Now, as far as hustling nickles and dimes, well it's
what you make of it, I suppose - lots of people go out to skydive
while others go out to "Give Back" (tm.). As for hustling - nothing
is promised without delivery and no one is coerced into spending their
bucks for some service they might not request or need. Sour grapes on
your end - I'm sure there were vidgeeks who were surrounding the
landing area, cameras rolling, whenever you were coming in to land.

I'm guessing there was quite possibly something in their upbringing

Ah, yes - those 1880 ways, while I'm sure crime was existant in the
1880's, it's my understanding that it was frowned upon then as it is
now.
>sides they gotta deal with me daily if not weekly and I still got

Well, that's the thing - if they adhere to that "good upbringing" and
take action against a thief, well then, I suppose they might not have
to deal with you and having their pockets picked by you anymore.

As near as I can tell, Colonel Sandes didn't make a habit of and if he
did, he certainly didn't brag about screwing over others for social
services but, not bad - I like the idea of you doing the chicken dance

Not that you taught them anything worthwhile to practice *while*
creeping. Pretty much came to a dead end after the initial, "...lay

Pre along the lines of, "...now you grab there, on the arm - no, I

you the key..." and Post along the lines of, "...you should seen the

Which in no way suggests or even attempts to explain why you're too

Nope we discussed the dive and why it might have went wrong and it was best not

video...ya kin't watch the whole herd, even if you do there's a AFF grad thing

theirs no question, even a novice can recoginze a wrong slot, bad body

If people are *willing* to request and pay for an optional service and
willing to pay what the service provider demands then who are you to
say that this is chiseling? Sounds to me like free trade and commerce
but that's over your head, given your participation and membership in
inflationary trade unions.

Yeah, well - when you're not fucking the VA out of meds, that is.
Thou shalt not steal at least some of the time. Busted.

Drop the fantasy - you got a maid named Big Earl and maybe some local
woman who makes sure you have some food to eat or burned the place
down and all of a sudden, you're a backwoods player. Oh yeah - I buy
that.
>Always interested in community

Sure, sure. Stealing from the VA and thus every honest tax payer out
there, contributing to higher tax rates and thus subjecting everyone,
tax payer or not, to higher inflation - such a community minded

Good thing for you the people who do the accounting regarding the meds
at the VA aren't instructed to protect the people's property which you
are screwing them out of with firearms or rope.

Not my theory, just another stupid fantasy on your part but as long as
it makes you feel better about yourself, go on pretending the pretense
and I'll go on with the ridicule. My theory is that you aren't really
screwing the VA out of anything (let alone random widows who happen to
be traipsing by the trailer), though it makes you feel cool to pretend
that you are.

Ah, well - and who could have predicted *that* was going to happen?
Certainly not the *organizer* who's job it was to actually assess the
abilities of who had to work with and tailer the dive taking that
important factor into consideration. But no, it was "I ain't getting

Ya know, I've been lucky to be with several different teams that got
coaching from some of the best skydivers (at the time) on the planet
and not a single one of those world champions ever saw much good in
acting like a martinet in order to teach anyone, anything. It was all
a power-trip on your part - "It's my turn! Now I get to yell at
people and call them idiots. I'll show those skygods..."

Don't forget your earlier complaints that the lot of them went off,
stopped skydiving with you, and subsequently were relegated as
skygods. Wonder how that happened?

All you gotta do is ask. Well, not you. Jack's pretty good on

have to be Jack to peg you for an idiot who would probably break the

Funny how wrong he (or anyone can be) until theye happen to provide
you with some angle to support your line. Can't have it both ways.
No better than commentators complaining about some aspect of the media

So, when you said you were ripping off the VA for meds it comes down
to you were *lying* because you *aren't* ripping off the VA for meds.

I've done a fair amount of travel through and across a whole bunch of
National Parks and I've never heard of them stringing anybody up, not
even a rumor. Rules against picking up dead wood is one thing but
enforcing the rules with Capital Punishment - never seen that in any
of their codes or pamphlets. I think you're exagerrating.

yeah we did I was a young kid and remember the perks well...Durning the war
rationing was tuff but for people who had endured a hard depression prior to
the war
it was nothing. We lived in the country and never went hungry cuz we had
gardens
and cud hunt..The main drawback was all the growed men had gone off to fight
and kids were worked hard like mules...After the war, if you went overseas on
up into the late 50's even, things were cheap. You cud have a nice car, house,
servants, the best food and live well even on a NCO's pay. Shit even in the
early 60's BAQ/COLA went a long way...I had a beach villa, VW,
motorcycle and maid in Italy. Traveled extensively thru europe on leave &
pass's.
All this on E-6 pay btw...shit the Chiefs were driving Mercades....Cars were
important back then, hell one 2nd class
coming out of Vietnam shipped over and bought a Italian car that would cost
over $300,000 now days...kin't remember the name of it. The dumb fuk wrecked it

Well, you can certainly try, but it comes down to the fact that if
when someone says something which disagrees with your line and you
castigate them for it only to later, when some item of their earlier
line in some way disagrees a bit less with a later line, and you use
this line to back up your contention, your earlier line's is rendered
no less suspect and the present line, even more so with the added
result of describing yourself as a hypocrite.

No, there's a big difference between you screwing the VA out of meds
and me providing a requested service. As for novices "carrying my
tab" and value for money,
1) I buy my own ticket when it comes to jumping with novices and,
2) The greater portion of jumps where I have cameras on my head the
tab is carried by experienced jumpers and,
3) When I do shoot students, it's because they've requested a service
and what they want is what they get.

Well, you've already said you were trying to cause some jealousy and

The smarter ones concluding that there's not much of a future to be

Hell SN's (E3) were driving GTO's and other musle cars in the mid 60's
stateside
I still remember it pissing me off as I climbed into my MG-A I had brought from
another P.O. at the time, difference was
the PO's passed it along when transfered to hardship duty, kept it in the
family and the boots rawhided theirs and tryed to sell the wore out junk to
other boots for what the market would bare...The buck went a long way for a
long time after WWII ;)

Lokkit 9/11 Americans have been dieing by sneak attack throughout history,
military
familys posted overseas came to expect it...the civilians are just now learning
the hard fact that ~freedom is not free~

Is that a comma seperating the two parts to the sentence? What, now
you're gonna get anal about punctuation to bulwarkthe latest round of
crap? What's next, spelling as a bailout? What a copout!

Well, if you buy Chuck's suggestion then you were lieing and if you
don't, then you were stealing. So, which is it - are you a liar or a
thief?

Actually, you are neither. You made-up a lie - purportedly to set up
some sort of "ambush" <on an electronic newsgroup - snerk>, got busted
for suggesting you were a thief, bailed out of that by suddenly
accepting what your "nemesis" suggested, got busted for that, and
finally, as is so often the case, suddenly realized that this lie,
like all the others, was actually a "story." Nothing ticky about it -
BigE explained it all very well - you follow a monthly cycle.
