  1. I'm more of an RW guy, but I'm slowly getting in FF.
  2. I'm looking at buying a Canon ZR-45MC and found one at a pretty reasonably low price. I am however confused about the CCD. As it's specs are listed on the retailer's site, it says 1/6" 460,000 Pixels (290,000 Effective Pixels). What's going on here? Anybody else have experience with this particular camera for freefall video?
  3. Count back 119 days, plug in the figures and see if you get one tomorrow.
  4. Since we've got a thread going on Repack or Pencil-ing a repack, I thought I'd post this to get your attention. HH has released his Repack Calculator that you'd find in the Safety section (not forum). Now you don't have an excuse for forgeting.
  5. I guess in this sport, we're constantly cheating death. Other times, we'd be cheating ourselves.
  6. Horses now?! It's a good thing you're not bound for Skydive Oregon. There's a sheep farm across the street. I can just imagine it being "your" target. Boobie makes a note to self spot if on the same load Clay's spotting
  7. From the mouth of my favorite governor, Jesse Ventura: Until someone figures out a way to put a meter on the sun, we will not get cheap or free solar power. but true.
  8. The steps you take to check your gear is exactly like how I do it. And it think you should take the same kind of care with the repack. Just ask yourself if $40 or whatever your rigger charges is cheaper than a hospital bill. That'd be times when say it's a few days out of date, but it's a BIG difference when letting it go for weeks. Besides getting a repack, the inspection should catch certain anomalies like the closing loop coming loose, the reserve PC shifting ++. Just think of it this way: Would you change your oil without a new filter?
  9. There is no way in hell that McDonald's is making people obese. Look at my Meal sizes thread yesterday! And I'm still hungry People make themselves look like the Michelin man. I just need to keep up with Casch in freefall.
  10. UK's skydive mag had a pretty good article on that subject a few months back. Clicky here
  11. Clicky here and find specs on them SLRs
  12. Aren't frangipani flowers offered to the deceased? aka. funeral flowers?
  13. Check out http://froogle.google.com/. You'll at least be able to pull out all the places where you could find the best prices just by entering the model#. I punched in "zr45mc" and look
  14. Bloody hell! I'm getting hungry again.
  15. Can you spell your name for the court? NO! Next question! And who could forget Elaine going Whoa!
  16. You've been beaten man! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=347918;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=-1;t=search_engine
  17. Who does not want to wear de ribbon?
  18. Oooh! Let's not forget Mr. Glock
  19. Better bring some Beano just in case
  20. [replyonly one party must know that they call is being recorded. Yeah! The guy who's recording.
  21. He's bald, unemployed, and lives with his parents. Do you know how much money you'd save doing that?
  22. I don't know how true it is that taping a conversation without the other party knowing is insubmissible in court. But ONE thing I do know is that it is still up to the judge to let you submit it as evidence. I mean how else are you going to document verbal abuse? Edit: One other thing, carry a tape recorder yourself. And Radio Shack sells one of them gizmos that plugs into your phone line. Hey if he's gonna play dirty, collect his dirt and throw it back when you've got a dump truck full.
