  1. But record attempts go up all the time to the mid 20's without bailout bottles, how? 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
  2. You can throw ketchup on the fabric seats of a Honda Element (that funky looking boxy one) and wipe it off like it was never there. Maybe we should get our rigs with this stuff on the major flaps. 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
  3. Not true. If one can't land a heavily loaded canopy (and I include, as an example, a 2.2:1 or heavier crossbraced) straight-in with no riser input, then they need to work on their tehnique or go back to a bigger canopy. No one said anything about riser landings. I think Vibeke meant, speed is needed for a better flare and a flare can be done with toggles if I remember right. Sparky By "riser input", I think he meant using risers for extra speed, not for the flare.

  4. Mine says, "NEW Multi Use Formula! More Fabrics, even silk!" I'll give it credit for allowing me to remove grease on the white portion of my rig (that a Porter rubbed on me) off of it like it was nothing. 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
  5. Clearly stated. Thanks. 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
  6. You know, people who think they know everything are extremely irritating to those of us that do. edit to add-actually a reply to the prof...
  7. But is it possible for classic old (well preserved) gut gear to be OK with you or not? If yes, why? (Compared to an old wonderhog) 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
  8. How is anybody going to do a nostalgia jump if you can't get it packed? A lot of people could avoid a lot of senseless risk if more riggers took this stand.
  9. determining what components are compatible gives a lot of room for judgement in the hands of the individual rigger, as shown by actual application in the real world, without a lot of questions from PIA, FAA, etc. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  10. This one has already been decided by actual practice instead of by the letter of the law. It is commonplace. It is accepted. Am I wrong? 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
  11. I don't see what could matter in regard to opening shock. I would think that the only thing that might matter is the inability to adapt to a set of reserve risers made for L-bar links. 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
  12. I think it is obviously a comedy site. I saw the pic years ago related to an actual disease, elephantitis of the testicles. 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
  13. I also find it amazing how Canada (or at least Ontario) has a two school systems, the Catholic and secular schools, both as public schools. Of course I may be wrong, but I find it incredible that this is OK with the generally liberal Canadian/Ontario public. edit - I was amazed when my kids were able to sing obviously religious oriented songs in their Christmas choir program (Can't remember if it was actually called a Christmas program, but some of the songs were definitely not secular).

  14. I think this is an outstanding strategy for liberals to pursue: Openly hostile attack on that portion of the public that identifies itself with a faith in God. Outstanding work, keep it up! 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
  15. I heard about it, and that a district court judge was OK with it. It is amazing that it didn't get widespread attention, seeming a bit unethical, even if not illegal. But the dems get a pass on this stuff. 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
  16. Did Locke move on to bigger things? Probably was figuring on an appointment by pres Kerry. 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
  17. Actually no, that won't hold. But, I am very happy that liberals still think that a President is out of line for using language such as in Bush's speech. 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
  18. does a recommendation from PD exist to replace them at some interval? I don't see it in their instructions, but the only thing they have is the installation instructions on line, and the product description on-line. 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
  19. Hurumph, hurumph. Well said PJ. On all of your replys. 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
  20. Some swoopers on little canopies use the risers to flare regularly. 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
  21. How in the world would people be able to expose themselves to much greater risk than necessary with very little reward doing organized 'gut gear' jumps with riggers like you? I think Snohomish does it regularly, probably some other DZs also. I think they should watch some old videos instead. 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
  22. I flat/stack pack, the nose pointed down, line groups stacked on top of each other, tail flaked and slightly wrapped around. No problem with off heading openings. 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
  23. The straight poop on cypres power consumption: http://www.pcprg.com/cyprespc.htm So, consider that the unit uses about/at most around 100 times less power at 'rest' compared to when the LED is on/calibrating. Turning off the unit takes, say 10 seconds or so. So if the unit were on for 100*10=1000 seconds or about 16 minutes, then you are better to turn it off. Even with the assumptions that I haven't listed, or even if it is 1000 times less power, then it would be about 2.5 hours for the break even point. So I think it is fairly safe to make the obvious conclusion. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  24. I agree, it was skanky. When you tune in to Monday Night Football, you know to expect the cheerleaders and violence. But that was really skanky, I think that is a good way to put it. I don't think it should deserve a fine though, because of the technical details of what was actually shown visually. But public pressure should do enough to discourage this kind of crap in the future. Dennis' ass was also, very, very wrong.

  25. PETA is whacked, no doubt. But, I haven't eaten meat for about 20 years. I stopped not because of how animals are treated, and I still admit that it smells and 'would' taste good. I just find it not appealing to eat for aesthetic reasons I guess. Plus, after reading the Jungle by Upton Sinclair I did some more research and it just is revolting to think of eating it. I don't push my way on others, don't mention it to others unless the subject comes up on its own. It isn't how animals are treated that bothers some that don't eat meat. Ever known someone who just can't stand eating chicken off the bone? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
