    I am fine, just had difficulty logging in with the new security protocols. I have not jumped much since the last CSPA-affiliated DZ near Vancouver shut down. The only remaining DZO and I have agreed to disagree on the subject of seat-belts. I only did 11 jumps last year and now most of my rigging is for POPS headed to big-way camps in the USA. Having an FAA rigger rating helps. I would not worry about a 1 inch change in your waist measurement. Secondly, trying on a rig without canopies will tell you nothing. Thirdly, measuring yourself is a fool's errand ... er ... worse than a waste of time. (Pun intended) Half of the new harnesses that were sent back to Rigging Innovations (less than 5 percent of production) were measured by the jumper measuring himself alone. You will only get accurate measurements if you hire a tailor or rigger, perhaps one of the salesgirls at Square One/Golden State. Fourth, if laterals are too long, add a belly band to pull the hip rings into the correct position over you iliac crests.

    Mostly the racist enabling culture warriors who have finally found a way to manipulate the idiots into voting against their own interests in order to pretend they are superior to someone else. The movie "The American President" had a pretty good line: There have been tons of comparisons between Trump and Hitler. And a lot of Trump's minions with the Nazi party hierarchy. The biggest one (by far) is in the above quote. Telling you who to be afraid of, who to hate and pretending they'll do something about it. Hitler blamed the Jews, and managed to murder millions of them. Trump is basically throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. BLM, illegals, LGBTQ, everything. Don't forget that Hitler murdered a LOT more than 'just Jews.' And, as shown here, some folks are stepping up and falling into it.

    I know that when I think about safe driving, Tiger Woods is the first name that comes to mind...

    With a side-by-side, grab an outboard rear riser on each canopy and do the bare minimum of gentle turns to point yourself towards an empty field. With that flat glide angle, down-wind, up-wide, cross-wind are all minor considerations.
