he might need it, that canopy only has like 50 jumps on it. Seriously it's allllll good....

I look at tipping your rigger especially if you use the same re-pack after re-pack after re-pack in the same light as when I used to tip really well at this one bar that I used to go to week after week after work. I walked in to Timberwolves ever time and tipped well, after a week or so, I would walk up to the bar and the guys would drop everything thing to get me what I wanted. Several times they even gave me a free round cause I was such a "good customer". I expect as good a pack job whether I tipped him or not, but it's the little extras that come on the next pack jobs where the tipping helps. So that first pack job all I got was the reserve packed, but I still tip him. The next pack job all I might get is another packjob, but after that so far they have always done more like a free main inspection or full main line inspection, replaced little things that he easily could have charged me for. Also, cause of the tipping I have no problem mid-reserve cycle to have him check something out while I'm at the DZ that doesn't look right. Plus, especially when I first started jumping I sat there every time I got a re-pack or I saw that he was packing someone elses rig and asked him 1001 questions. That alone was worth the tip. You definately don't have to tip, it's a personal choice. Also if you just give your rig over to the DZ or a rigging loft that is a different story, I wouldn't tip someone I didn't see pack it. Personally I won't do that unless I had to, I like being able to sit there and watch my reserve being packed. I like knowing the person who is packing it, and being able to talk to them ask them questions find out their thoughts on different gear. As for tipping packers, I don't, but then again I can count on 1 hand how many times I've hired someone to pack for me in the last 300 jumps. Kelli

Pammi.. Merrick has a rig too now, wonderboy just said he better take care of it.

awwww....thanks slappie for stepping down, this way we can kick your ass out of the top 50 you wuffo you....when was the last time you jumped, we just might have to put you back under a the 190.

Oh hunny, if there isn't something going on we will make it go on...Freaksis already said luv shack was ready for a party.

had an email from them via paula... The trip went great and they are loving it out there. They said the DZO and his wife were awsome. I can't wait to hear from them direct.

You're going down...boy!!!!

woo hoo.....

hehehe....yeah he can now take someone out on their first post whore experience.

Hmmm...I wonder if they put the hotel list up as a way to get people to make reservations to prove to the town that the WFFC will be bringing in lots of money to the town.

Ack it sucks being home sick...I can't post whore like normal.

you mean Merrick can't be disctracted with talk of canopies and pond swooping. Damn it....ok just this once the boys can come play with us, but they have been warned, we may get catty and talk about sex.

Well I probably would, but Derek would kick my ass for putting yes...so it's a no.

I bet you are

Well I'm there and it's all lonly....

I actually ended up get a notebook and taping all my post-it notes in there so I wouldn't loose them, then I was going to get organized and just write the stuff in the note book..... ......nope didn't happen, just more pages of taped post-it notes.

super cool.....sorry I forgot about the wedding, well not really but I kept saying "puppies and bunnies, puppies and bunnies" but it wouldn't go away. Well we might still come up cause I want to meet Pammi. Plus I think I might be talking wonderboy into letting Merrick jump his J-4. If he can jump a safire 189 that is.

damn it woman, you would have to pick that weekend to be out of town

woo hoo....if pookie bear lets us come up next weekend I'll get a free jump ticket....Hmmm...I wonder if he will

Thanks sis....I was wondering what else was going on up there, since I seem to be at that DZ more than the ones in Houston. Trying to make it up next weekend to see Pammi.

hey I can hook us up with a mailing list...I know it's not a forum, but this way we could keep the riff raff like those Californians out.

Hmmmm.....Derek has the same kind of stories, usually involving the desert and humves (sp).

that is why we have a technical writer. We write up this piece of crap in word, give it to him and it comes out as a great document.
