'raf, I do that every time I go jump. Why would this be any different? If that's the way the thought process goes, time to quit jumping, skiing, snowboarding, hell, better quit driving too. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I support my country, period. What my leaders do, I'm behind. That said, I'm not really looking forward toa 'war' in Iraq. Personally, I think making the area one big parking lot would work just fine (after an evacuation notice, of course). It's your life, live it!

Just keep looking. i just picked up a good quality 24mm for $100. Keep your eyes open and you never know what you'll find. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I believe it was already confirmed that it is on there. Remember people, to apply the tattoo, REMOVE the plastic first! It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Like I said, all I can say is

I know you are not required to use it, but since the dz is required to have it available above 16000 msl, it is an added expense, and could very well justify a high lift price. Think about it....if oxygen wasn't available, you couldn't really go any higher than 16000 msl, and I think in your case that ends up being under 11000 agl. I'd pay the extra $$$ for the altitude there. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

12000agl in Denver? Well, it is an extra cost to equip the plane with on board oxygen for every jump. You do have oxygen for every jump, right? It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I don't have a "home dz" and I like it that way. That said, the local ones I go to are Cessna DZ's, and fit the bottom end of your scale. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Michele, Zone Alarm modifies your internal proxy settings. In non geek terms it forces everything to and from the internet to go through it. Did you just delete it from your start menu, or did you fully uninstall it? If all you did was delete it, your net connection will NOT work.Try and uninstall it from Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs. If that doesn't fix it, then reinstall it over the top of your old install, to update the settings. Let us know what happens, mmmm kay? It's your life, live it!

Amen brutha. I do one high end install about every year or so now. I don't look for these customers, they look for me. It's all word of mouth, and I get alot for these ones. The customers can also afford to go without their cars for up to 2 weeks. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

1:0:0 One case of mild food poisoning from early Saturday morning. I spent pretty much all day Sat at the DZ, making sure I was never more than 10 seconds away from a john. Not fun. If I had a jump ticket for every time I was asked if I was gonna jump I'd jump all spring for nothing. After being there for a few hours, I actually managed to get my gear into the hanger. That's as far as I got though. If I can't keep my mind on the jump and only the jump, I ain't jumping. Even though I was feeling better by 4 or 5, I was not above 75%. I thought it would be just my luck to have a jump go awsome, and double over with cramps at about 50 feet. It was so damn nice here this weekend too!!!! damn damn damn damn damn It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

I don't have any of the photos left of the installs I've done, but the 2 I was most pleased with were waaay cool. 4 MTX Black Gold 4 ohm 12" Subs. 1 Soundstream Reference 500 Amp. Custom trunk box/amp rack, under plexi, bandpass system (amp was inside the bandpass section under the plexi), port was through the back seat, All this in the trunk of a Chevy Beretta. Never fully tested, so I have no idea of it's max SPL ratings. 4 MTX Black Gold 4 ohm 12" subs. 1 Soundstream Reference 405. 2 sealed boxes and a shit load of Dynamat in the trunk of a Grand Am. This guy didn't even want the boxes finished. He was looking for maximum volume, not eye candy. The day after it was done he entered it in a local novice class iasca event in SPL, and hit 145, good enough for 1st place. I miss the hands on enjoyment I got doing that stuff, but the most people want to pay best buy prices for custom work. The money just isn't there anymore. EDIT to add: I'm also a bit of an audiophile. I get sick of doing nothing but "Boom" systems. I want a soundstage, not a tin can with big drums. It's your life, live it!

Anyone, and I do mean ANYONE that needs a stereo installed, LET ME KNOW! If I can get to the area, here's the cost, to have it done right: Basic installs, you provide the parts needed: Head unit-1 jump ticket. Head unit and 2-4 speakers-2 jump tickets. Amp and sub on prefab box-2 jump tickets. Custom work-number of jump tickets varies with what you want done. It's your life, live it!

You ask the night before? When you do that, don't they usually ask for yours too? You should know by now...don't ask, don't tell, right? It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Especially if you announce loudly..."Just one beer." That's usually when you wake up the next day with empty pockets and one shoe. Maybe you Clay.

Hacks!!!! i used to install for a living too. The difference is that I owed the company. Most of my business was fixing the fuck ups those 2 places caused. Look for an independant shop, then ask to see some of their work, please! Rev was Kenwood, infinity, and Soundstream, all custom. Now it's cheap Pioneer and cheaper LA Bolt stuff (amp and sub). I sold the good stuff for, what else, jump money! It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Hey Bill, got room in that hybrid of yours for me, my wife, and my four kids? Some of us don't have the luxury of choice. There are very few economical 6+ passenger vehicles, period.

1. I don't get in the plane, period. 2. Pilot's choice. Remind the pilot and owner of it, and go jump. 3. Personal choice. How out of date? 2 days or 2 years? It makes a difference to me. 4. Let my opinion be known then vote with my feet. 5. Same as #4, walk. 6. Same as #4. 7. Same as #1. 8. Theory, Tell them what I think-You fuckin crazy? reality, I've done it. 9. Keep my mouth shut. The pilot told me to get out of his plane. For all i know this could be an emergency situation. Pilot is in command, so i'm leaving. 10. Return it to rigger, and have him remove the AAD (How did that get in there anyway?). 11. Remind pilot that it's his certificate on the line. 12. Warn the DZO and glider pilot, ask to see the reserve card, and warn the rigger whos name and symbol were forged, if present. Pull handle? 13. Warn rigger, probably pull handle too. 14. Wait for help. 15. Drop both toggle and go straight to rear risers, hopefully in time to save my life. (Note, do not toggle turn to final, use risers) 16. Tell them to buckle in. That's usually all it takes. 17. Kinda late now, but hopefully it's secured at least to his chest strap. 18. How out of date, and did he call his rigger? This ultimately lies on the riggers shoulders, since his seal is on the rig. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

EXCUSE ME? Just where do you deal with 'these guys' every week? Either you just happen to see a really nasty cross section, or you see the same people over and over and over. You are so far off base with that comment you might as well be standing on the moon, and if any of the drivers I know heard it, that's where you would want to be standing. Hell, I know one PhD in particular that drives for Fed Ex now. Why? Good money and every weekend off. This is a guy that could out speak BillVon. Get out some more dude. Chille, where are you?

Hmmmmm, yep. This is what happens when you live 3/4's of your life being someone else. Anyone want to tell these people that they should really attempt to be themselves at least one or two days a week? It leads nowhere, but would be entertaining to see the reaction on their faces.
