  1. I'm a full-time student also, but I have taken breaks from school to do internships and work studies where I get paid to do work associated with my major. Maybe your field has something similar. If not, the end of the year will be here before you know it. Congrats on finishing.
  2. I snapped a few pictures under canopy. Almost dropped my 5MP digital camera a few times! It was a great day for skydiving in TN! (notice the new user icon)
  3. Anyone heard of Keller Williams?? He's an AMAZING musician, the best guitarist I've ever seen but he's pretty good at about 30 different instruments also. I've seen him in concert 3 times now and he's always great! He uses looping stations to record himself playing one thing and then will move to another instrument, everything you hear is just one man. I found a website with some bootlegs of a few of his shows. http://www.k-dub.org/music.htm I recommend most of the 2002 show, especially: "Rock star bass loup>" for one of his loops "Instra>" some cool guitar stuff "One Hit Wonder>" "Best Feeling>" from the 2000 show, this is one of his most popular songs Hearing him and seeing him really are 2 different things because a song might slow down for a second but that's when he's running around the stage changing instruments and setting up the rest of a song. He's really playfull on stage and many of his songs are meant to be funny. It's also cool that songs usually flow continuously from one to another. Anyway, check it out, I dare you not to become hooked!
  4. In my freshmen engineering classes we had to make any object of our choice using auto CAD and I made a chess board. A bit above and beyond the requirements but I enjoyed the challenge.
  5. I'm a 4th year junior in Chemical Engineering at the Universtity of Tennessee. I've done over a year and half worth of co-ops and internships doing R&D with large corporations. I'm also getting a business minor and may persue a graduate degree (or two).
  6. I consider myself pretty conservative, but this is rediculous. http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GENITAL_PIERCINGS?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=ENTERTAINMENT
  7. Took mine 5 weeks, but I ordered it the week before Christmas.
  8. I used to live a few miles from that sign to Bat Cave, it's in NC. Me and my roommate used to always say things like, "holy highway batman" whenever we drove by.
  9. I've got the same plans for tomorrow! Can't wait! Have fun.
  10. Chuteless, I've read alot about your skydiving career and it has been awesome reading about your walk with God! In a way being a Christian is like being a skydiver. People who don't share that with you will never understand it. Walking the earth with faith in God is a level of peace and joy non-Christians can't experience.
  11. No way!! Let's see some video! Was he smiling the WHOLE time??
  12. Love the Ice Age parts! Nice video!
  13. It sounds like everyone agrees that the tail can be rolled ALOT safely. Is there a way to check that the lines haven't moved? Basicly you want to make sure none of the lines have come forward in front of the nose, right?
  14. I jump a sabre 170 and the person I bought it from told me to set the nose into the packjob and pull each side of the tail around to the small of my back to get enough of it pulled forward to roll. Then roll the tail all the way to the flat packing tabs. I don't normally roll it quite that much, but close. My question is, can this pull lines out of place?
  15. Looks good. One thing though, the link for Skydive Monroe has Monroe misspelled.
  16. I'm sure this has been posted before, but I still think it's funny!
  17. It is no secret Sabres can slam you. I was slammed by mine a few times, until I learned to correct it. Now I have a new quote you can add: "I love my Sabre." -Spidermonky
  18. A few girls that I'm friends with aren't so happy with this eBayer's listings. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=ginger-bean&completed=0&sort=3&since=-1 Personally, I don't see anything wrong...
  19. I posted some pics earlier for those who don't subscribe. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=900218#900218
  20. That's Parachutist, I'm talking about the magazine "Skydiving."
