    RESERVE tests.

    so if stamped on my reserve handle - under the velcro'd part - there's some numbers, it's like 096743 and then "96 07" my rig was mfg'd in '76... so I'm guessing I'm in the clear, just don't know what those numbers mean.

  2. um, nope... nothin @ least every other jump... I need ta jump sometimes too. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

The requested URL belongs to the following categories: On-line Sales and Merchandising, Extreme I can't go to half the links posted in here because they have some catch phrase, no hotmail, no yahoo - aarrrggghhh. I also can't play like ANY of the movies, cause Quicktime has almost locked up my computer 3 times & MS player doesn't work (or some random thing that pops up to play movies, but can't) - pphthhttap wanna throw it out the window. what do they expect me to do here? WORK? There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  4. First... love monkey, sweet pea - blech... you guys make me sick! Second... move to Australia!!! It's the best! And pack me in one of your bags... I'll be your own personal packer if you smuggle me into Oz. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  5. I have a fam reunion not far from Goshen this weekend & was thinking about a noonish trip to the IN Skydiving Academy. Thought I'd see if any friendlies were going to be out & about. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  6. Tevas are known to stink A LOT eventually. Check out Reefs. I bought Tevas cause they're so damn comfortable w/ some special anti-stink material on them... suppodedly. Well one summer later & they're starting to stink. Back to Reefs I guess. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  7. Actually, as a smoker I was interested in Billvon's thread.. until it became a high altitude/oxygen mask thread. As a smoker, not necessarily chain - but def heavier on the weekends... I'm curious about this as well. I do experience some light headedness. Also, whenever I have to have either of my arms up, around someone tight in (crammed into the porter, or up around someones head on an Otter bench) - my hand totally goes tingly. I always have to make fists w/ my right hand just so I can make sure I'll have enough feeling. Never had one go numb - but don't want to find out if it would. Thank you for directing the discussion to smoking & regular altitude jumps 2fat. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  8. If you're in the sport long enough... most of your friends will be skydivers. And all you co-workers will either be sick of asking you or they'll start jumping as well. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
  9. That's like asking an Australian why they call fries chips. They also call potato chips chips. So when you're @ a diner & ask for chips... what are you going to get? guess you don't know till it's served to you. If you live w/ someone there's prob at least one room in the place you share, kitchen, living room, toilet... thus room mate. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

  10. Rather than get all steamed up... think of what didn't happen. At least 2 tires weren't flattened @ the same time! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

  16. I jump @ a dz that shares an airport w/ a glider operation. We ALWAYS have to look out the door before exiting, from the first group to the last person. There have been many near misses, which just shows that you do have to be aware below & to the side of you since people in FF are basically impossible to spot by a pilot. Many of the glider pilots have shared stories of suddenly being face to face w/ a canopy that appeared out of no where when the skydiver opened. We're also right in the middle of a landing set up line for O'Hara & Midway... seen many jets flying overhead when we're on the ground. But they're all pretty far away when we're on jumprun... guess ATC is doing their job well. I can't imagine what a slip up would cause though. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

  21. blue & red ones are bad... so are green now that i think about it. but, if you eat 2 together, not of teh same color... the taste is better. tan & brown are the best =- gosh, wish they'd bring the tan back . I like to eat the hard candy shell off and then suck on the inner soft chocolate until it melts all over my mouth. but that's only the best if the shell came off perfectly. otherwise, take a HUGE handful, toss in mouth, crunch up & suck on till it all dissolves. mmmmm, dammit - i was avoiding a chocolate craving all day long... now the pull of the vending machine is so strong! skittles & miken' ikes, are best when mixing 2 different colors as well - but for a different reason.

  22. i wonder if its the same neighbors that removed the laced chicken as the ones that the Osborne's threw logs @ their home before... it could be a plant coyote. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
