  1. Hey, do you really have 1300+ jumps? I thought I remembered some not too old GoPro footage by you with a lot fewer jumps. Did you know Glen?

    Nope. It's even flakier than "real" $$$$.
  3. Heard about that last part. Made a clicky too. I'm glad to do my part as a loving husband. Thanks for the awesome picture. Somehow it reminds me of packing.
  4. Loved that show, loved her. Thanks for all the laughs and the thought provoking humor.
  5. I get a few here and there. They all seem to be guns and skydiving stuff, maybe car insurance here and there. Nothing really amazing.
  6. Is his name Ralph and you barf like a dog?
  7. I thought women were supposed to be the multi taskers.
  8. Better question is who's bringing her magazines to read while sitting there?
  9. I would guess the non reflected wavelengths absorb as heat energy and reemit in the infrared spectrum, invisible to us but visible with IR scopes.
  10. Some evenings I have a wee bit of Scotch in me too, usually a nice single malt.
  11. Really. Pretty sure it was an intentional satirical piece.
  12. You mean "cauc-- asian." :P
  13. He's doin' pretty damn well.

    Sounds more like MySpace.
  16. One of my coworkers used to drop his young daughter off at the DZ to work as a packer. When he saw how cute some of the women jumpers were he started finding excuses to hang around the DZ a lot.
  17. I know, I know, we could discuss this to Infinity.
  18. Some of the best skydivers I know are exactly that. The pathway to learning is thru the doorway marked "humility."
  19. Several points made and I like them all. Since a good exit is all about timing and presentation to the relative wind . . . -I like a 3 part count, so you can pick up the rhythm. -I like the motion, so everyone can join in and leave smoothly. -I like the motion big, so rear-rear-rear float sees the count. -I like the person doing the count to be chill, to not "head fake" or be ambiguous on the count. I can understand competitive 4 way using a different method to gain an edge. If I jump with some of those guys, I'll have to adapt. The last time I jumped with a 4 way team person, though, they tripped off a bunch of letters for the dive. "Okay, P, then F, transition to B, then D, back to the top." Me . . "Huh?"
  20. Sometimes holding your chin up higher helps. The wind isn't as directly in your face and you'll arch better too. You'll probably get used to it soon. Don't worry.
