  1. No matter his mood or how long I've been gone, he'd greet me with a loud "Timmaayy"!! made me smile every time. I was around a lot more during his earlier years in Byron. There were a few times I've had to raise an eyebrow a little befuddled and say "What?" But he was easy to "get" in my opinion. Remember this as well. Half a bag of Rum Pineapples is a bad Idea. Those who have been left holding the bag understand. That is, if they were foolish enough to finish it. I'm glad I got to see Tom during our latest thursday gatherings. I was looking forward to more of that. Here is part of a message I wrote to an old friend of his. "I'm glad you have good words about Tom. There really is only good things to say about him. Crazy odd fucker... I'll miss him" His reply "Odd isn't even in the same ballpark as Tom was. That's exactly what I loved about him" Those who know him will get that perfectly. R.I.P.

  2. Does the hard drive at least spin? Take the cover off, turn on the computer and listen to the drive. You can put your hand on the back of the drive to feel it as well. What noises does it make? Is there any grinding, scuffing or chirping sounds? Depending on a few factors, it's possible to change the logic board on the drive with an identical logic board from another drive. Additionally, slaving the drive and using some recovery software may be possible as well. I happen to have some I've used successfully on "failed" drives used in a business environment.. So ... begin with seeing if it spins up Edit: Spell check is your friend. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  3. Jumping with a coach can be useful. I've found this drill to be useful as well. While in freefall, assume the pull position. Be sure to use positive leg pressure and a positive but relaxed arch. Leg awareness is key. Fly the pull position for the entire drill. Watch your heading and hold it for a few seconds. You should be able to see your hand in front as well. Remember the symetrical leg position and positive pressure on the legs. (The does not mean straight legs. It means legs out with wind pressure against the shins.) Slowly turn 360 degrees to the right then pause at the original heading. Then turn 360 degrees to the left back to original heading and pause again. Sounds pretty easy and it is. But at first, controlling that position while intentionally turning may feel a bit strange. When it's really time to pull, start the sequence a little early so you have time to fly the pull position in control. Good luck.

  5. Pieing IS an option. Then again, if it's simply whipped cream from a can on a plate, it's disrespectful. A pie should be a real pie... something good. avjoe may like 100 blow jobs. Just like the case of Captain, he's allowed to share. How about a golden pull-up cord? A cake can't be from the bakery either. Home made is the only way. Real cream cheese frosting... the works! Mmm mmmm! There are more suggestions if necessary. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  8. Severe angle yes, but you'd be amazed at how hard an impact the body can take at certain angles with armor covering. I don't have much of an opinion of the suit in practical use but this was in my email today. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  9. HA!!! You clearly don't know everything. Many ane most things perhaps but everything?.. I think not. The proper response would be very similar if not exactly ... "What do you mean? An African or European swallow?" My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  11. Of course I would do 10 jumps a day if possible. It's just not easily possible where I actively jump. almost every single jump i've done was a single jump so it has taken a lot of time and effort to get 477 base jumps. Thanks for the answer. It's not possible here either. I and many others would have 2000+ BASE jumps by now and no "access skills". The question I asked Mac was in referrence to temporary access. A legal day or couple days of jumping from a building. When the event is over, go back home and return to your regularly scheduled program Hey Mac, The question was originally directed towards you. Sooooo, would ya jump once or 10 times, or even 6 times? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  12. When I was packing at Skydive Hollister, I packed up several 1000 pound spectra lined 421s. Was there a short run of them? When they came back from a re-line with dacron, the tandem masters complained of long snivels. We put so much effort in to slowing down the openings with the Spectra lines that the openings with the Dacron lines scared them.

  14. Nope. I've enquired about that already. Only the Perrine bridge is logged no more than 25 times. Nothing else applies as of yet. Take it up with the board and let us know when additional objects are in the 25 logged only category. Thank you My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  15. Yes that is what I meant. Thanks My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  16. If you were given the opportunity to jump from an elevator tower or building 10 times in one day, are you saying you wouldn't do it? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  17. Yes PerFlare, I have a question. Does that apply to any other object(s)? Thanks in advance My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  18. There. It works again. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  19. Speaking of Rampage. Here'a s shot taken by Faber himself during said event. Rampage To answer the original question, for certain people and certain jumps, I'll hand it over ready to jump. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
