i don't think dave meant any harm to anyone, he was just merely expressing his opinion....just my .02 USD. dave has jumped SDH often, and we look forward to visiting the new dz over there, and look forward to them coming to SDH. there is a good mutual working relationship between both DZO's... Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

if that's the case, i really suck! my son was at the d.z. with me last time, and seeing the hornet for the first time, and he told me my main was ugly. :( like i care! i used to be "color consious" but hey, when you get a good main fairly cheap, ya but it! next main i buy is going to be all black, that way it'll match anything!

**(as Rich said, when you are on site, things get a little personal, and a sense of humouor is really important)** ever witness any "ball doping" on a drilling rig? i never participated, but i sure did "close the blinds" to my office a lot! these guys are ruthless. you get 150 men offshore on a floater for 30-60 days at a time, the shit is going to hit the fan....sooner or later! i've seen some pretty RUDE stuff, mind you now, like i said, i never suggested any of it, just kinda went along with it! :) Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

skycat: i don't think freebird likes us anymore, she won't reply.....DAMN Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

**pee in pool** what about the living room carpet, ya know someone could be laughing so hard, or be drunk and just piss there pants on your carpet! J/K Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

majur kewledge........i'll bring my relative jump suit this time (it was being washed last weekend) let's do it! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

Dave: that is sick unedited shit! (no pun intended) my oldest son is in the military, as you know, and one day he said "i'll be back in just a minute, i've got to drop the kids off at the pool" i said "HUH?" he replied i gotta go shit, i said MAN....the site is strangely humerous, in a dark kinda satirical way! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

meowwwwwwwwwwwwww!! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

we used to have this one guy that was really agitating working on one of my crews on a drilling rig some years ago. he was really nasty, non hygenic, filthy swarthy individual, and he had a really shrill high pitched voice. he did everything he could to aggravate the other workers, so they came complaining to me. they advised that he kept a giant tupperware bowl of tuna-fish salad in the refrigerator, as the hands lived on location, since it was a remote driiling location. (you pen up 10 guys in a 16 X 80, it won't be long you've got trouble, trust me) but in any event i told one of the hands to "spike" his tuna-fish salad, so he goes into town, and buys 2 cans of fancy feast cat food, "ocean perch" flavor, and mixes it in with the boy's tuna-fish....he never noticed the difference, but much to our satisfaction, he couldn't get enough! every time he'd walk by, we'd al go "MEOWWWW" and he never did get it. after that, they started pissing in his drinking water, i didn't endorse that one, but i LMMFAO, that dude drank more urine, well, let's just say, he could have made the guiness book of world records.

i'm in total agreement! Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

martin luther was a catholic monk, living in a monestary, he and the pope didn't see eye-to-eye, so he posted his manefesto on the front doors of the monestary, and was promptly extricated, and started the lutheran faith, under many death threats for the duration of his life. do a search on him sometime, quite the colorful charachter! a rogue monk, go figure! well, actually now we'vew got rogue priests/fathers having sex with pre-teen boys, so hmph...well? Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

my procedure is pretty much the same, but since i'm denominationally lutheran, mourissouri synod, i say the apostle's creed as well, then do the cross insignia acros my heart right before jumping. i'm not a preacher by any means, i think everyone knows that, but i got to have peace of mind. the lutheran faith is a spin off of catholism, back in 1524 martin luther posted his manifesto on the monestary front door, and was promptly extricated, the rest is history as we know it.

the "backfling" training you may recieve now, and the backflying required to film rw groups requires two different types of flight suits, my suggestion is whichever you choose to do, make sure you have suffcient training with the winged suit that will be required to fly camera over/under formations. as for learning the backfling manuevuer simply exit the air craft in a back to earth position, watch the whole aircraft fly away, and hold it until the next group exits, hold it longer, and longer each time, next thing ya know, you just transform into a sit, or a belly to earth, or headdown, whichever you choose. in any event, go to square ones's website, and order the "goodstuff" cd rom, or i believe you can order it off of the front page of this forum, yep, i do believe. whatever path you choose, ask lots of questions, don't be shy. good luck, be safe!

if you'd like an all purpose helmet, with external/internal dual audible ports, fairly inexpensive, then you'll want to look into the "Havok" i've never met a helmet i liked, until now, you can also wear whatever eyewear protection you wish, or none at all. I wear prescription lenses, and the Havok is designes to fit around them, and it does, easily, anti-fog design is ample, fit, and donning of the helmet is easy, they've come up with a "winner" here...IMO anyway.

**What is it with the word 'plunged'?** i don't care for the termonology either. it makes him sound like he was working on a plumbing fixture. plunged, huh, thats not correct, he fell, jumped, leaped, not plunged, that's something you do to a bathroom facility. i hope he's going to be o.k. :) Richard Richard "Gravity Is My Friend"

i flew a TRIATHLON after student status, then down sized went with the same brand of canopy. IF i had to do it over again, i would have went with a 9 cell, because i trained with a 9 cell, then flew two 7 cells, then downsized once again, and had to "relearn" how to land a 9 cell, but landing the 7 cell canopies were easier for me, way less glide, more sink, but very forgiving on openings, turns, line twists, etc... just some thoughts... Richard

Hook: did it "spook" you, even for a moment? that'd be my luck, go up do an "intentional" and have a mal! YUK..... Richard

**Both The Offender and The Source are frequent posters on the forums.** Andrea: that certainly narrows it down! J/K (don't get mad at me!) i bet someone lied about seeing you with your new jumpsuit unzipped...didn't they? the nerve! and this too shall pass! Richard

never mind clay, wait until Lars Ullrich finishes with your ass for fu**ing with his lyrics like that! he's funny about that kind of stuff, remember the law suit (napster) they had a while back, and won. Richard

as i've said in my previous posts on this issue, i cannot find, or obtain insurance that will cover me for any injury while engadged in sky diving activities. if any one here knows where this type of insurance CAN be obtained (in texas) please don't be obscure and say it's "classified" share your information!
