ltdiver

A bit about the history: HERE. There was a formation of multiple Cessna's (back in the '80's I believe). Alot was learned from those skydiving attempts. Looking for that web page now. It also was in WA. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

My neighbor rescues cats...she now has so many that she's literally lost count! They've come to love my lawn and flower beds for their business... It's killing my lawn in spots! If you find anything that works (short of a shot gun) please let me know! (and this is a dog neighborhood, except for her house. ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I always miss the daytime fun. The work-thingie, ya know... Sometimes I think there's been a whole huge book written, and today there is a whole chapter missing! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

On the seatbelt issue (even though hypothetical here), I have encountered this issue in just the past few weeks now that the weather is hotter than hell. Here's what I did (sitting in the left hand bulkhead seat). 1) Tandem Instructor and student at the left bench right at the door. BEFORE take-off I asked the tandem instructor what he wanted to do about the seatbelt vs open door issue. It was his call. He unseatbelted himself but kept the student (right by the door) in his seatbelt. Student did not have a rig on, so in my eyes this seems like a plausible solution. 2) Skygod (and friend) on the rear bench beside me. I asked that he unclip his seatbelt before I would open the door. He looked at me funny but complied without any issue. 3) Old time skydiver (and one with thousands of jumps on all kinds of equipment over the years). He would not take his seatbelt off when I asked politely. I started to close the door and he shrugged and complied. If there is a possiblity of harming other people, I will be direct and take action to keep those around me safe. If he/she makes an issue of it I will ask for an explanation, even if it's in the plane. If it is only endangering the perpetrator, I will choose an individual time with the offender and ask why in an effort to learn from someone more experienced than me. I may not agree or accept the explanation, but it's their call if they are an experienced skygod. If it is a newbie, or someone who I know just does not think things through, the best senario is to find back up for the issue and teach. There have been those let go from the DZ I frequent because of their non-compliance with safety issues. Other surrounding DZ's are notified as well. Perhaps they'll learn. If it's the DZO or someone else in authority who endangers others (not just themselves) then there are other avenues of 'education' available to us. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Why would you spend $1,000 of the Minolta 7HI, when you can spend the same amount of money and get a 9 burst rate in the Cannon 10D? Check out the price drop! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

What's the difference? And why does Texas get their own rules? If I recall, all the grips HAVE to be visible to the judges. Kate Cooper learned this the hard way when she and the girls set the first head down freefall record last month at Perris. Now, if it's Texas rules, seeing the grips doesn't matter at all . ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Fair enough. But who's gonna keep them from pulling our hair and calling us names from the dugout? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yes, we ARE blessed. I was with skybytch, taking the big-way camp with him, Kate, and Tony this weekend. The energy he pumps into every dirt dive...every debrief...it's contagious! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yes, it is awesome! Thanks, Mike, for a trip into our family album created just a few months ago. The detail is just amazing. Guess if others are to view it, they'll just have to come to the -next- dz.com boogie at Perris. Yeah, that's it! b^2, hottamally, skybytch...you ready to organize it?

Whoo Boy! The Perris Tunnel's gonna see some terrific flying that week! (now, if I only did freeflying.... ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Pretty fun stuff, huh! Try my slot (with 12#of lead), docking behind Dan B.C. and taking Kate's grip on my right! Talk about pressure to perform....geeze.... however, it was the best skydives yet with that increased level of push. Gotta say, Kate, Dan and Tony are an awesome team! Oh, and btw, thanks bytch for wearing your pink suit! Lead the way right to my quadrant each and every time!
