  1. I have a ball with wearing my closing pin necklace outside of the DZ. Wuffos come up with all kinds of crazy explanations on what they think it really is. This week, for example, I got some interesting ones. --a fertility symbol --a symbol for 'woman' --an indian symbol --a bottle opener? What have you had wuffos guess about your skydiving ware? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. You should read the others! Who ever comes up with these things? These particular ones are WAY off the charts.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. Pretty cool feature, huh! good things come to those who wait... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. Take a look at Scorpio.... What would -you- do? December 3 Horiscope SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) : So you decided to leave your comfort zone. You dared to scare yourself for a good cause. Having researched all the options, you found the skydiving school with the best safety record. Later, fully trained, you felt reasonably confident as you went up in the plane and hurled yourself out the door into the emptiness. Hallelujah! Your parachute opened successfully. Your descent was smooth. Alas, at the last minute a strong wind blew you away from your target and your chute got snagged on a tree. Now you're safe and sound, but stranded high above the ground. What's next? Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Yes it does, I have the switch with the stereo plug now and the problem is gone.. Sorry for not updating this thread. The one I have is an unmodified switch from Conceptus, they do make them with the stereo plug, and that fixes it all. Iwan Yep. Never had a problem with my Conceptus stereo tongue switch. Took these pictures with it just this past weekend.

    i never had

    I -think- this is new....'eh skybytch? Or, are you just getting a bit lonely for the good ol' CA ranch? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. ...or on big-ways. And if you fail to check in, EVERYTHING comes to a halt until you do. Here's another addition to the 'There I was, landing out/search and pick-up library....' --Jumping a Goliath-378 (student gear at my DZ as I hadn't bought my own gear yet). --~my 30th jump --Boogie at a skydiver's farm (5 miles North of the airport) --Winds picking up throughout the day to more than my canopy could handle (I was ignorant and didn't notice) Last load of the day. --Exited a 4-way Horney Gorilla just downwind of the landing area. --Couldn't make it back....(my canopy was flying backwards!)...actually had to fly downwind to find a safe dirt-patch to land in (otherwise would have landed either in a Palm Tree Farm or a housing development). I FULLY expected to just walk back to the farm (somewhere West of where I was was all I knew). About 30 minutes of walking later, I was SHOCKED to have someone drive up and ID themselves that they had been looking for me. I WAS 3 MILES DOWNWIND OF THE LANDING AREA! Sure, I was happy to have someone pick me up, but I expected "My mistake, My fix...I'll walk back". Never even occurred to me that others would take responsibility for my mistake. Glad they came and fetched me, though...
  8. Thought -I- was the only one who hated these horrible cartoonish fables! Caught a glimpse of them once and that's all it took! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  9. It's interesting how corporate businesses run. Can a member of the founding fathers be ousted and his controlling interest stripped? Or, is he playing a tactic that will prove productive in the long run? Roy Disney "fired"! (Is Eisner -that- much of an ass?) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. Drum roll indeed! The Trio I'll have your beer cold and waiting when you make it out to Perris next time. Are you coming out this month for the big-ways? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. That's HUGE! Can't wait until the men and women come home and bring tales of 'no shit, there I was' with them! Congratulations Team!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. Yep! 2 of 3 ain't bad, girl! Anybody have guesses for the 3rd? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. Thought it might. I haven't flown in a SkyVenture tunnel but I think it -must- be like a drug once you've had the experience. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  14. No, don't give hints. What's it been....only a few minutes since the post? I think most people can guess 2 of the 3 easily. It's a bonus if they can get the 3rd (without cheating). Beer at the Bombshelter for the first one who can get the 3rd one right. A pitcher if they know their last name as well! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Way too freakin' cool! You mean these guys? Next they'll be wall crawling! Should we call that 'doing the Spiderman'? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. Hey girl....Check out this picture! Make you want to come fly with us even more?! First RW flight at the Perris Wind Tunnel! Can you name these players? (as a videoflyer, if I saw their backs I could tell you there names in an instant! It's different seeing just their bellies!). (no fair peeking at any other pictures on the web to give their I.D. away. Guess from just -this- picture! ) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. Oooo...did you see these today? Perris Wind Tunnel 3-way!
  18. Exactly my point as well. Glad we agree. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. They are students until they have a license. -Some- like to 'classify' those still under an AFF program as students and those graduated to JM themselves...but still unlicensed...as not. I was just clarifying for those who might think differently. I agree with you, however, that they are technically a 'student' until they hold a valid 'A' (for USPA) or equivalent in their country. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. Some MORE very cool pics from Lake Wale's DZ web site: HERE Wow! My hats off to those AWESOME new world record holders and even more impressive cameraflyers! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. Michele, A post on our favorite rec.skydiving had a help for those who want Spyware removal software. -------------------------------------------- I'm in the IT business and I use AdAware, Spybot, and Pestpatrol. You can get info on that spyware crap and good tips and free utils at www.spywareinfo.com You will be surprised at what evil is lurking in your computer.

  22. ok. The BSR might say 14mph limit for students, but Perris carries that to include all unlicensed jumpers as well. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. Where is tail? Or are they the #4 you have listed in your example? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  24. We all love you, Lisa. Don't we, gang?! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  25. Perris still holds to the 14mph BSR for unlicensed jumpers. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
