Frankly, I'm happy to read this. He may have annoyed the pants off a lot of us, and he may have done some stupid things. But the good news is that he's not skydiving anymore, and you all probably just saved a life, not to mention some bad publicity for the sport we all love. And no, that's not a sarcastic comment. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

I'm not going to get into a religious war here. But an Apple laptop with comparable specs (HD,memory,display) and performance to the Toshiba you mentioned is $1,449.00. And it's about $200 less with an education discount (which any college or school ID will get you). To be fair though, the Toshiba does include a 3-year warranty at no extra charge. But does your Windows laptop do this? [/Users/james]$ uptime 11:00 up 21 days, 15:26, 1 user, load averages: 0.42 0.77 0.69 That reboot was an upgrade, too.

That's a myth. Apple's laptops are comparable to or cheaper than most PC laptops. Check it out. It's true. Oh, and unlike high-end PC laptops, they get more than 20 minutes of battery life. Now the desktops, THOSE are a lot more expensive. My advice to Kris on this was simple: If you have to get a PC laptop (which she has decided she does), get an IBM, Sony, or a Toshiba. If you get the toshiba, get an extra battery - for some reason, Toshiba has never had decent battery life. Avoid Dell at all costs - they used to make good laptops (I had one for several years) but have gone downhill lately, and since their customer service was outsourced to India, it's completely horrible - we've wasted hundreds of person-hours at my company trying to get the damn things working properly and it's just a joke. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

here's the video (thanks Gimp!) of the 4-way hybrid 'skydiver blender' we did at Memorial day. Yes, we expected it to go like that. It was fun!! Link to Video on SkydivingMovies.com 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

I'm pretty sure that's exactly the point. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

Your best bet here would be to check with a rigger familiar with your equipment. You might be better off getting a tandem or student Cypres if that's what you really need. Like Nightingale said, you can adjust the cypress but it's a PITA and you have to switch the cypres off and then on again after EACH jump. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

They called 'em ditto machines (AKA spirit mimeographs). I used to sniff the pages and get drunk off the fumes. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

I refer to that kind of formation as "jump-fu" or "full-contact skydiving." Nothing like having your piece-partner slammed into you from across the formation as you both go head-down! It was like you switched on the gravity! If I can get Kris to let me dup the video I'll convert it to quicktime and upload it so you can all have a laugh as well... 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

I think last week you wouldn't have even come on a 7-way. Now you're kicking butt and chewing bubble gum! And you had some SWEEEET landings!

No problem, dude. Can't stand to see somebody get uncurrent. Next stop: Balloon jumps!

My favorite part of that site is that each submission has a field: "I take interesting medication: Yes/No" 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

Of course, the old Jimi Hendrix Classic "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.." which the site you referenced was named after... REM lyrics are famous for this, partially because of Michael Stipe's constant mumbling... Edit: I'm a weenieboy 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

Your foot is still sasquatch-sized. You've got to be crazy to be considering jumping with it like that. Imagine if you had a bad landing with it already f-d up like that? You might never jump (or walk, for that matter) again. Be smart girl, let it heal properly. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

According to our friends at the National Weather Service.. It's an onshore gradient. Here's the internal forecast product (as opposed to the 1-line summary they feed the public usually) --- VERY STRONG ONSHORE GRADIENTS AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS CA THIS AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH A COASTAL EDDY HAS DEEPENED THE MARINE LAYER TO AROUND 4500 FEET. CLOUD BASES ARE AROUND 1800 FEET...MEANING A VERY THICK CLOUD LAYER IS IN PLACE ALONG WITH A VERY STRONG INVERSION. AREAS OF DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE INLAND VALLEYS AND THE COASTAL SLOPES. BURNOFF WILL BE MUCH SLOWER THAN NORMAL (IF AT ALL)...AND WE WILL LIKELY BE IN A REVERSE CLEARING PATTERN WITH COASTAL SECTIONS SEEING PARTIAL CLEARING BEFORE THE INLAND VALLEYS. ONCE THE TROF PASSES...COLD AIR ADVECTION ALOFT WILL WEAKEN THE INVERSION SLIGHTLY...BUT STILL EXPECT A DEEP ENOUGH LAYER FOR PATCHY DRIZZLE TO FORM TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INLAND SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD ALG THE WEST COAST SUNDAY. INCREASING HEIGHTS AND A SHALLOWER MARINE LAYER WILL RESULT IN QUITE A WARMUP SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AN EDDY WILL KEEP THE COASTAL SECTIONS FROM WARMING UP AS MUCH AS THE MARINE LAYER WILL KEEP TEMPS IN CHECK. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth

Dude that sucks. Good thing you didn't get bit. But black widows are shiny and black, not hairy. Hairy spider implies tarantula - which are nasty but not as dangerous as black widows. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth
