  1. Ever get on a commercial airliner with your rig on, sit down, and reply to the stares you get, "What, they didn't give you yours?!" ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. I've taken to answering this one kind of bluntly...."You die". To which they follow-up with, has this ever happened to you?! Duh! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. Funny thing is, though, is that my co-workers are constantly pulling my JFTC picture (the postcard size of the completion) off my desk and showing their patients! They either do this to inspire them to reach their recovery stage (work hard) or show them how crazy I am (not sure which one, but I hope it's the first). -They- in turn (the patient) almost always 'come up with' that proverbial phrase of the "perfectly good airplane" and I have fun answering the question various ways (depending on the patient). Maybe: 1) "Because the door was open" 2) "Have you -seen- our airplanes?!" 3) "To have fun" 4) "To build up energy to work with -you- guys!" 5) For the sports-minded and those who bust themselves up on motorcycles or skiing or something, the: "The only time you get hurt in an airplane is when they land.....right?"
  4. Or mine, "You haven't seen our planes then, have you?" ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Ever realize that those who don't have a dream are the ones who try and piss on yours? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  6. DVD cameras aren't good for freefall. Many reasons. First and most evident is the fact that the mechnics can't take either the altitude (thin air) or the buffeting that freefall includes. For a more detailed discussion or two (if you want), they can be found in the little 'search' area at the bottom right of the computer screen. Type in 'DVD camcorder' (or something like this) and you'll be delighted to see where other discussions have gone before. ;^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Ah, the evil empire. Well, at least they're in existence still. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. For a weekend only jumper they've lasted me for years. I've had my old style dytter for about 8 years and have only replaced the batteries once.
  9. So, what have we done to lessen this demise of the earth? http://an-inconvenient-truth.com/whatyoucando.html I'm sure there are alot more methods to add to this list. What are they and how do we go about implementing them...here and now....-not- later. First, identify the problem. Second, plan the effective solution. Third, implement the -doable- plan. Fourth, document the change (positive or negative). Fifth, evaluate the response. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. Ok, this is depressing. I can't hear a thing, even with the sound turned all the way up. Had to put the speaker right against my ear to even pick up a subtle vibration. Geeze, I -am- old and hearing impaired. Sigh....guess I should go take that hearing test now. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  13. Give the guy a break, it's his very first post. Try this search, JohnnyLawrence. You can type in any key words you think will apply and walla....a list of a topic will appear. Like this one: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_type=AND&search_string=music+video Have fun! Oh, and btw...on music choices....whatever floats your boat. There's alot out there with many different flavors to choose from.
  14. Beautifully done. Laying on the grass, watching it from the ground, the jump was stunning. Watching your video, which was looping in the Bombshelter all night last night, shows is even clearer. Love ya, Barb! Fly free. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Sorry, b^2....just couldn't pass it up.... Having stayed there for the Christmas boogie...gotta say the name fits! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. Straight linear editing. Forget the computer. Camera-->Mixing Board-->DVD Recorder. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. Yep, and thankfully I wear an open face helmet. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  18. Pull at 3-4,000' (hey, I'm a cameraflyer! ) 6 reserve rides. First one at about 60 or so jumps (don't have that log book out right now). First one: Made the mistake of unstowing the brakes while I was still in line twists . Made me SO upset that I'd done such a stupid thing that I went and rented gear the rest of the day for $45/jump! That was 10 years ago, and it -still- makes me sigh. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Try emptying your cache, then refresh? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

    Shelby??

    Guess I forgot to put a "" at the end of my last post. Thanks for the explanation. I might not know race cars, but I like to go fast! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  22. There, fixed it for ya! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. Yep. You're at the right place and the right time. Lucky you!
  24. For those of you (like me) who like the older Sony miniDV camcorders, here's what you -might- be looking for. I wanted another TRV22, but shied away from ebay and other sales, being fearfull of what crap I might 'luck' into. My patience won out. Sony is having a sale right now on some of their older merchandise. Sure, some of them might be refurbished, but I feel pretty confident that with the Sony techs doing the work and their 90 day guarantee (plus the lawsuit to fix their CCD's), that I'm pretty well covered. PLUS they have a 2, 3, and 4 year extended warranty for not too much more. Have at it. First come first serve. Just got the notice tonight. Sale started today. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start?sssdmh=dm11.86565&CategoryName=hid_cl_homepage&dcmp=summer2_060606_email&hqs=outlet ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
