floridadiver81 0 #1 February 12, 2009 My whuffo best friend....for now...hopefully he does his tandem this weekend...doesn't seem to understand how important the weather is to a skydiver. I say 70% of us have the dz's location forcast bookmarked for ease of knowing. He thinks that's not the case...hence the point of this poll.

BillyVance 35 #2 February 12, 2009 Not exactly, but I do have the site that my DZO uses bookmarked after I saw it on his monitor in manifest once, and set it to center on my home town. I can always pull that up and type in the DZ's town to get weather info for them when planning a trip out there."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #4 February 12, 2009 I'd say you have made a safe bet....except for one thing. What job can you have, and keep, after being wrong so many times and so often? You guessed it...weatherman.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

pilotdave 0 #5 February 12, 2009 Yeah, I have bookmarks for the weather, the dropzone webcam, and even the manifest screen (which also shows weather). On many winter weekends, I'll often get out of bed when I see people are starting to manifest for load 1. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
