    There’s plenty of “real work”, the lowest unemployment rate in decades. The unintelligent chose the option that defers the true cost of their labor until months and years later. They go buy a new $30,000 car and put 100,000 miles on it in a couple of years. Many people I know that drive for Uber drive 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, they try and tell me they make $25 an hour, yet conveniently forget they have operating cost, just like Uber neglects to mention operating cost when it claims its drivers make good money.

    That dude may be wrong about energy, but no one can set an A320 down on water smoother than him!

    Funny, I don’t see nearly as many objections to Executive Action as I used to. Wendy P.

    Are you sure there isn't something else going wrong? I've had my Spectre for close to 200 jumps and my last jump was the first hard opening I ever had on it (and I'm pretty sure I know what went wrong, as I had to pack real quickly between 2 night jumps, wearing my jump suit with tons of lights taped to it, and even while packing I thought: "this doesn't feel right") On all other jumps the openings were super soft and always completely straight and controlled.

    It will be just fine. It isn't best practice to leave a rig in a hot trunk or car, but if I had to pull a number out of my ass I would have to say that close to 100% of rigs get exposed to similar conditions multiple times during their service life. 3 days of it is hardly a concern.

    It'll be fine. If you don't want it I'll take it. Ship it to me and it can sit in a truck for three more days. Lee

    The Cruiselite was introduced by Para-Flite in 1981. It was a 220 square foot, F-111, seven cell, general purpose canopy. Cruiselites competed directly with Django's Pegasus and Glide Path's Fury. I bought a custom-colored Cruislite back in 1984 and jumped it for three years, doing RW, accuracy, CReW and BASE jumps with it. In its day, the Cruislite was the best canopy on the market. As for the earlier poster who suffered hard landings while over-loading his Cruislite, tough! What else did you expect when you chose to over-load a canopy?
