THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD Well, it's shit ... that's right, shit! Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language. Consider: You can get shit-faced, Be shit-out-of-luck, Or have shit for brains. With a little effort, you can get your shit together, find a place for your shit, or be asked to shit or get off the pot. You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit. Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola. There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits. There is bull shit, horse shit, and chicken shit. You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan. You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle. You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit. Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty. Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit. You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit. You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle. Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose. When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language. And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!! You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't give a shit! Well, Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head........... Well, Shit Happens!!!

Why did you bother going your Dr. if you are not willing to follow his advice? Next time just mail me the check and I will tell you anything you want to hear. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Why? So I can get patch from USPA? Woohoo!! After a certain point in your jumping career you logbooks are only important to you. They are a record of the fun you’ve had and the friends you have made. If you notice the ones that say it doesn’t matter now and won’t matter later have less then 10 years jumping. In most cases they are right, they are tourist and won’t be around long enough for the memories to fade. For those that are around 20 years and a couple thousand jumps down the line logbooks are great for recalling some good times and good friends, both lost and living. Plus there are those that see “I don’t bother logging” as a red flag that means, “I am claiming more jumps then I have”. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Still having trouble with higher math I see.

Later on I think you will regret this. I have never heard a jumper say "I sure am glad I didn't bother logging my jumps back then"! My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I can't tell from the picture, what type of cutaway housings does it have? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Usually not. Canopies do not scale well and it would take some testing to determine if it would fly for shit. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

It doesn't matter, both are still to small for your weight and experience

Henry, From your responses, I am pretty sure you are going to go with smaller canopies for the “cool” factor. But remember what some of the people posted on this thread. They have nothing to gain, no ax to grind were offering their honest opinion. They came to their opinion from watching other new jumpers go small, try to go big and then go to the hospital or the morgue. So you keep trying to convince yourself that a main and reserve around 170 sq. ft. is just what you should have. While you may believe it there are those that know better. All of the rules and most of the guidelines in skydiving are written in blood. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Do you really think someone with 50 jumps should even consider a 176 sq. ft., F-111, 7 cell reserve? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Have you got his address?

Do you think a "man" sometimes has to act like a "man"? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

No.. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Do you think that might have something to do with the aspect ratio of a 9 cell over a 7 cell? Kind of apples and oranges.

The Female Rules 1. The Female always makes THE RULES. 2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice. 3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES. 4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES. 5. The Female is never wrong. 6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong. 7. If Rule 6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding. 8. The Female can change her mind at any time. 9. The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female. 10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time. 11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset. 12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset 13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times. 14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said. 15. If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks backbone, and is a wimp. 16. If the Female has PMS, all THE RULES are null and void and the Male must cater to her every whim. 17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule 5.

Quote[I STILL don't have an A or B..../reply] And so you now know why all your tickets are for the short bus.

No one needs packers. But some jumpers feel they can't live without them. Its Gods way of telling you 2 things. One you are making too much money and two you are lazy.

They wouldn't let me jump my 7TU when I first got it because it was too high performance.

But as happens far too often, some people get smacked down and they end up dead. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I didn't need an "A" lic. to jump a round and chest mount.

Rub it real hard with you thum should roll it up in a ball. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

There might be more to that then we think. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

What she said. Not many people make that much history together. Too bad you kid grew up the way he did.
