Congrats on jump school Don!  That's incredible.

I never could find a good time to go when I was reenacting with my unit in California, but I still want to go one of these days.

Again...congrats!

I am a firm believer that there is no good reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! ;D

Congrats!

Ok, I'll give you that one. That's why I don't fly!

Did manage to Stay some what dry, but Dang it was cold. Now I miss the Oklahoma heat. Getting ready to move Zelda back to Steve's shop for the winter. Been without power for 3 days now. So just a wanted to wish all you fine folks a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. Although I haven't met a lot of you face to face it's been a great pleasure to have got to know you through this forum.

Hi Tom, yes I just use a steel pot. Most of the pictures I've seen show them with just a steel pot.
