    Yep. All of this "security" is just getting stupid. As anyone knows, ANYTHING can be used as a weapon. This shit is going too far.

    Aggiedave, the repository of worthless knowledge.

    My dad likes to say that velcro is one of the technologies we obtained from the Roswell crash. Yes, he is kidding.

    Actually tried to do well in high school. I bet I would have graduated college 2 years ago if I had done well in high school. Asked out those 2 girls from my past that I was too much of a pus to even talk to. Those are the two that come to mind. I'm sure there is more however.

    It would have been nice for the Hubble to end its life in the Smithsonian.

    I'm a student at the moment studying aerospace engineering. I absolutely love it and very well may pick up a mechanical engineering degree afterwards. If I had to change paths, I'd like to be one of those NTSB people who investigate aircraft crashes and find out what happened. It has always fascinated me how they can look at all this wreckage and determine what happened even without the voice recorder.

    No shit, I only did 46, and still had to quit jumping from May to September and last part of November and December due to lack of $. Hell, even if I had the money I probably wouldn't have broken 100 for the year because of school.

    I had a doozy that I still haven't figured out. A reoccuring one though is after I throwout, I look up and the lines are something like 70 feet long and the canopy never opens. Of course I land fine. I've also had the cutaway dreams and the burn in dreams that always turn out well. I've quit trying to figure out dreams.

    Stop Spyware

    aero04 replied to sdctlc's topic in The Bonfire

    I use Ad-aware now. For me I found that AA worked better than Spybot. When I'd run Spybot, it would find some files, then I'd run Adaware and it would find more. However, if I ran AA first, it would find some files, then I ran Spybot and it would find nothing. Just my 2 cents.

    Done it a few times in the Cessna. I love it. First time it happened, I was sitting right behind the pilot. I wasn't expecting it, and I floated up and found myself more or less on top of the pilot. We had a good laugh at that one back on the ground.

    This is great news!!! Looks like McClane might be trying to put together a team that might win, rather than one that might make him money. Should be a fun season to watch! Now I just don't understand why they got rid of Wagner. I guess they needed money for these big name pithers.

    Know what Quade, you hit the nail on the head. I've been reading this thread and the other Mars thread, and I've been trying to figure out how to say what I wanted to post. You posted essentially the same thing I wanted to say. Kudos Quade!! Well said.

    This is what I have. I used to have checks that looked like torn paper. Damn they looked cool. Too bad I can't find them anywhere.

    Anyone ever thought about where all these phobia names came from? Was there some guy sitting alone in a room thinking these name up???
  16. aero04
    You know, that's a good point. I guess it pays to be a dumbass.

    Never jumped without an alti, but I think I would. If I was at the dz with only a rig and a load was going up, I'd probably go sans alti. I would be aprehensive and more nervous than normal, but as others said, my first alti is my eyes. I can't say my eyes are as accurate as I'd like, but I can tell the difference between say 5 or 6k and 3k.

    Thanks Phree. I have to deal with FC concerning my canopy and it is nice to know a bit of the background.

    Could someone post a link or give a quick explanation of what happned here? Just curious about this case because I don't know anything about it.

    I watched it today. Wasn't too impressed. I just didn't find it all that funny. The other bits were pretty funny though.

    Thanks for the reminder Quade. Watching NASA TV now! I hope everything works out this time.

    Merlin Suits. Expect to wait a lifetime if your experience is like mine. I ordered mine in November 2002, recieved them mid March 2003. Then I had to send them back in early June for some minor alterations and I didn't get them back until August. This was also after numerous emails and many calls. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed with the customer service and I won't be a return customer. However, I must admit the quality of my freefly pants are excellent. Excellent workmanship. But I guess that is to expected when it takes them 5 months to make them and then 3 months to alter them.

    I've never understood the fascination. Better things to spend money on IHMO.

    http://www.adrenln.com/ I can't get any info from the page though. Nothing happens when I click on the menu items. But I seem to remember from the radio commercial you can rent it for parties and such.

    Well, my present to me was a 3.5 GPA for the semester. Well, not really a present, but shit, it was one hell of a surprise. Never seen that many A's in one semester.... My real present was cold hard cash. Best present IMO.
