Sounds like more of a job for the S&TA, than the rigger. The canopy is TSOd to 254 lbs, right? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

ACLU. They're worthless, these days. They ought to be renamed the PC Police. I really do like the Institute for Justice, however. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Think of it this way, someone has to have the weakest spring on the market, and someone has to have the strongest. The reserve system needs to work, every time. To my knowledge, there haven't been any incidents due to a weak spring on the Odyssey. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

It's worked just fine three times for a friend of mine. I know a few others who have had Odyssey reserve rides with no complaints. Hope that helps. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Got a link to an article explaining any recent misfires? The patent to the Vigil is linked from their website, what information are you after that isn't covered there? What does Airtec provide (besides 12 years of accumulated data) that Vigil doesn't? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Use the Search function, this has been covered more than a few times. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Well, if you know that the whole rig weighs ~20 lbs, and you have the weights of the Cypres, main and reserve canopies, it should be pretty simple to figure out what the container weighs, right? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Haha.. Give it a few hours. If it's a glass carboy you watch for hours while the yeasties swiril, climb, and dive. It's like your very own alcoholic lava lamp, sort of. What did you make? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Misfires? I've heard, so far, of exactly one. Please tell us about the misfires you've heard about. With regards to the manufacturer not providing a technical explanation I have two questions. 1. Have you requested on? I'm not at all surprised that they didn't release a geeky technical explanation, most people could care less. 2. What makes you think they should give it to you? You're going to get to a point where it is not in their best interests to release the information due to IP. Ya know, the Cypres misfires and doesn't fire when it's supposed to quite often, at least a few times a year I seem to recall. Why aren't people up in arms about that? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I've heard the save money on effects argument before, I'm not sure that I buy it. Maybe I'm just a dork, but I thought that they looked like humans in an effort to show how advanced they had become. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Quade, that me laugh out loud.

In that case, the DZ should be very familiar. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

My take on the meeting at Ragnor was that we saw multiple copies of the same model. Hottie McCylon said that when her body was destroyed that her conciousness (If we can call it that) would be transferred into an identical body. I figured that we were just seeing a few of the many identical bodies waiting for her, multiple #6s, for example. Same with the others, of course. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

11? Help me out here, because I didn't get quite that far. So far, I've counted: * The Centurian model (The classic Cylon) * The Cylon raiders looked like Cylons to me * Hottie Cylon or #6 * The 'arms dealer' on the weapons depot * The PR guy * Boomer's model I'm 5 short. What did I miss? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I'm pretty sure it's over. Tonight's episode looks to be a repeat of last night. My guess is that we'll see a series in a few months, maybe longer. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Do you suppose that the average person is more, or less likely to encounter a gun, or unsecured farm machinery and livestock in their lifetime? I shouldn't have suggested in my earlier post that we make it a government sponsored mandate to teach gun safety to everyone. I do think that it ought to be out there though, in the public schools, as an option. Whether it's an after school program, or takes the place of a study hall, it ought to be out there. I suspect that if more parents knew that they could get basic gun safety training for their children, and for free, that they would take advantage of it. Edit: Just saw Kennedy's post, I like that approach better than mine. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
