When is the last time you saw these errors? I'm not suggesting that errors don't happen, just curious as to how often. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Oh, here's an idea. If everyone posts an asshat related reference, we can rename this "The Asshat Thread". I predict that it will surpass the hottie threads, the Eloy boogie thread, and FFF Fantasy in popularity. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Isn't it time for a serious talk about exit timing??
Jimbo replied to DBCOOPER's topic in Safety and Training
You're right, my mistake. I understand completely now. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
Like GIMP, maybe? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Jimbo replied to DBCOOPER's topic in Safety and Training
Hey Winsor, can you elaborate on this one? A ship with an airspeed of 160MPH, might have a ground speed of 80MPH. To get the necessary separation between groups shouldn't we rely on the ground speed? A ship could have an airspeed of 160MPH and not cover any ground, in which case we'd have groups getting out literally on top of each other. Why does airspeed matter? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -

There are plenty. Why they aren't USPA? Usually because of politics. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Ever lost your cut-away equipment?
Jimbo replied to thermosnight's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Two reserve rides. I lost the cutaway handle on my first, and the freebag/pilot chute on the second. In my limited experience, reserve rides are fun, but expensive. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
Is that because the "liberals" are the party of peace, tolerance, and unity? Tell us, Professor, who did have something to do with it? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

A friend of mine home schools his four children, they belong to an umbrella school that sets standards and sponsors social events. Last year I think they even had a prom. Otherwise his children are involved in city sports leagues, charity groups through church, etc... I understand your concern, Clay. I gave him a rash of shit about it when I first heard that his kids were home schooled. Over the years though I've come to understand that it's really not bad a thing, but probably a good thing. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I can't agree more. I've had the pleasure of meeting a half dozen or so home schooled children in the last two years and I have to say that they are significantly more advanced than their public school counterparts. And, surprise (not really once you begin to understand the whole home school culture), they're also very social and a pleasure to be around. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

It's closer to $70.00 (but the room holds 8 to 10 people), but book it in advance or it won't be available. I have no idea how so many hotels in south Jersey fill on weekends. It's a nice place to live, but there's not exactly a lot to do. Where are these people coming from? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

From a newletter I subscribe to. Subscriptions available here: http://www.thisistrue.com/ I've just got to know, is "gay" a bad word because the concept is offensive to the teacher, or is it simply (and sadly) political correctness run amok? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

When in doubt, ask. Call the bride or groom and ask; they know you, your wardrobe, and it's limitations (or not). They'll probably be happy that you asked, too. I think it shows that you are concerned about their wedding. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Anything different about a Helicopter jump?
Jimbo replied to AggieDave's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've jumped three different helicopters to date, each had different exit procedures. Ask the pilot, he'll be able to give you the straight poop. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -
Yes, it does, you are correct. ISO9K though, still allows for crap products. A company that builds a crap spec with ISO9K will produce a mountain of crap products. ISO9K doesn't mean dick, except that a company has documented, and follows, its processes and procedures. It's about consistency, rather than quality. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Any idea why I was spiraling like that?
Jimbo replied to jerry81's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Same thing happens on my CF2 @ ~1.6. Spooked me a bit in the beginning, but I'm thinking now that it's probably not all that uncommon. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. -

Anyone taken advantage of the new number portability? How did it go? Was it smooth? Any problems? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
