Watch out for scams when selling equipment...
sundevil777 replied to mountainman's topic in The Bonfire
Please post his reply when someone asks him for a paypal payment or money gram instead of check. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -

sundevil777 replied to mountainman's topic in The Bonfire
That is so great, "the moment you receive the check". He should be able to send you a money gram, or paypal instead of a check, but of course he won't, because it is a scam.

"Edgerton built a special lens 10 feet long for his camera which was set up in a bunker 7 miles from the source of the blast which was triggered Nevada - the bomb placed atop a steel gantry anchored to the desert floor by guide wires. The exposures are at 1/100,000,000ths of a second." The spikes are lightning travelling down the support cables of the tower.

Collapsible Pilot Chutes - Unnecessary additional risk?
sundevil777 replied to xavenger's topic in Safety and Training
Actually, he said they were non-collapsible without a PC in tow. Bill, what do you think of the old method of letting a light weight bag go back over the PC?

Over the fence! That is very cool. My 9 year old had a game winning, 2 out, walk off 2 RBI double in his first round of playoffs this year. You might say his self esteem was not lacking after that. These pics are of my 12 year old, he was leaning weird in this swing, but it sure did fly away...

I just posted the RWS price list to give you an idea of prices for different services. However, they should be quite willing to do repairs of other rigs I would figure (Someone will surely be able to confirm that). Any of the big manufacturers in Florida are probably your best bet for cheap shipping costs from South America if you don't trust local riggers.

Like when they hit a bases loaded/bases clearing double. You can honestly say that you 'taught him everything he knows'. This is my 9 year old replica sending a shot over the right fielder's head. The ball is just coming off the bat, good timing with the camera, eh? It was a 1/350 of a second exposure. His first year of 'kid pitch' baseball. My 12 year old replica is a real power hitter also.

Fortunately for you, you have hip rings, so it is a relatively minor repair. Find a really good rigger. You might even have new legstraps made by the mfg and sent to your rigger (different rigger than you mentioned) to have it installed.

Is it just the chestrap that is too tight? Are the legstraps tightened in your pics? I would want it longer also, but that should not stop you from jumping it. It definitely can be done, if lengthening the chestrap is what you're after. If the main lift web is too short (it looks OK) that is often best left to the mfg. Your rigger should have just told you that it can be done, but he isn't the right one to do it.

Seattle Man Dies Having Sex with a Horse.

Probably because not everything that should be illegal has a law to make it so. Are you sure it is illegal in the UK? I think it might not be illegal in many other civilized European countries.

Some more of the trinity high speed pics attached, and description below: Below are three sequence photos shot on special b&w film at about 10,600,000 frames per second during the 1945 Trinity Test when Los Alamos fired the first Atomic Bomb test. These are Edgerton images. They are three almost-sequence frames, triggered from the primary firing Trinity weapon firing mechanism. The camera had 3500-feet of pre-tensioned 35-mm film on a huge spool, and the below shots are about two or three or five frames apart (they never could really tell) at the climax speed of the camera when the test weapon went off. The camera exploded after the shots because it was going so fast, but it shot 2/3rds of a mile of film frames before it disintigrated, and Edgerton made a special heat and blast resistant magnesium-alloy housing for the film to spin off and eject laterally when the camera exploded, so they could recover the exposed film after a predicted camera failure. Edward Teller was the first one to see the frames, and he was ecstatic. Moments later, he was depressed and realized that the US was going to drop these weapons on Japan. He forever regretted his role in the development of these infernal death machines. But he ended up sticking with it into the post-WWII era and helped make even larger Hydrogen Fusion weapons.

I think a guy named Jesus did exist, and there were some extraordinary things happening. I also think it is not possible to explain some supernatural phenomena, such as psychics that have helped police, and near death experiences that are so similar and what they experience that cannot be explained. I don't think religions have the afterlife figured out, but I am convinced there is a lot more than you figure.

A thousand jumps and you fly a boat! Doesn't everybody downsize 5 times to a 2:1 WL by then? I don't like approaching the ground quickly either.

Where did that come from? Maybe you can read stuff between the lines that is invisible to the rest of us? The 'big old boats' may be part of the big RW load that also has some swoopers on it.

Tax Cuts for the Rich Reduce U.S. Budget Deficit
sundevil777 replied to Gravitymaster's topic in Speakers Corner
Quite right. The Toronto paper had an article when I was up there a while back about the long wait for chemotherapy and heart by-pass operation, etc. They were having to send patients to the US for procedures due to the lack of capacity to do it. They also mentioned how Pittsburgh has more magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines than all of Ontario. Even my little town of 16,000 has one. One of the engineers I work with in Alliston told me of her experience, how hard it was to get a pediatrician to agree to order the procedure to finally put tubes in her son's ears, after so many repeated infections. Kinda like how some complain that in the US there are too many C-section births. I think there may be something to the charge that doctors may do it too often because it is good for their 'schedule' and pocketbook, but after having one of my sons need the procedure, I'm very glad that there was not so much pressure on the doctors to avoid cost. HMOs are often criticized for being stingy, but this hasn't been my experience either. Usually they are the only ones that will not care about pre-existing conditions. When it matters, I want a specialist that is well paid, and gets a lot of free time to relax, instead of being overworked and underpaid as a government employee. If you want to ensure a shortage of a commodity, having the government supply it is usually a good strategy. Everything is free, except if you need chemo or whatever, you face the decision to spend your life savings to go to the states to get it now or wait, what would you do?

Taft Connie jumpship 1965, details???
sundevil777 replied to 377's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
How many would a Connie hold? I jumped the DC4 in the early '80s at Coolidge. It took over 100 I think. One guy did rope and ring magic tricks in the back on the way to altitude, and a blow up doll was tossed around before being the first to exit. It took forever for the pilots to get it ready before takeoff. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Talk about way too serious for little league...
sundevil777 replied to TomAiello's topic in Speakers Corner
Every T-ball league I've encountered had all the players on the field (not just nine), every player batted every inning (nobody was ever called out for real), and didn't formally keep score. Of course my kid's teams obviously won/kicked ass, and we came real close to turning double plays. I'd like to believe this news story is somehow mistaken, but I realize it probably is. My guys are now in leagues where the pitchers can be called for balks, the runners can actually take leads and steal, etc. What might this guy do when it gets this competitive? I liked the South Park episode where the dad looked forward to getting drunk and fighting with another dad. When they went to the state championship, he said, "This is going to be the biggest fight of my life".

Cut Away Mal...is hook knife usefull?
sundevil777 replied to stillalive's topic in Safety and Training
