  1. Those look like risers from a MT1-X. With that many tics broken they are not airworthy. Being from a MT1-X they could have taken loads upto 300+ lbs at 30,000 feet several times. Replace them and sleep better. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  2. Mar, That is an issue being discussed on the PIA rigger forum now. The new version of Part 105, May 9, 2001 has some possible problems with changes in the language. "§ 105.43 Use of single-harness, dual-parachute systems.No person may conduct a parachute operation using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow any person to conduct a parachute operation from that aircraft using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, unless that system has at least one main parachute, one approved reserve parachute, and one approved single person harness and container that are packed as follows" It say if you are using bla, bla harness it must meet bla, bla. It does not say you must use a single-harness, dual-parachute system or any system at all. USPA's BSR's just say you must follow all Federal Regulations. It will be interesting to see how this all works out. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  3. Mar, Not to worry, I am going in with her. Sparky Wait, I don't like the way that came out. How about, I will be using the tunnel on the same rotation as Michele. Ya, I like that better. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  4. If I go, I am going to ride on the hood. I thought about making Atsaubrey ride out there but then I thought about him coming in at just over 300 lbs. Sparky Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  7. If you understood what went on in Viet Nam you would be able to tell the difference between facts on how thing were done and questioning one mans personal actions. You are very good at cut/paste just those things you feel will make you appear in the right. The fact is, you do not have any idea what Kerry did in the military, you were never in the military, and you have no idea if Bush lied or not because you do not know everything that he knows. Everything you have said on the subject is pure speculation on your part or something you read in the media. But you ego will not let you see anything except, "I am right and everybody else is wrong". You have failed completely to address the issue of Kerry's action after he returned. Why is that? You have not seen the ball since the kick off and I am done with you. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  8. Um, sorry, Kallend. I must've missed the memo that said you were there, and that you witnessed what happened, and therefore know far more about what happened in than those who are posting and who were in 'Nam. Can you resend the memo? I'd appreciate it. Ciels- Michele Well, Michele, I can give you a recommendation for a good remedial reading instructor. I have consistently counseled skepticism in believing these claims. Nowhere did I claim to know what was going on. In fact I specifically stated just a few posts ago: "Maybe he's for real and maybe he's a fraud. Neither you nor I have anything except hearsay to go on." How do you interpret that to suggest that I know what went on, Michele? It's not like I said "We know where they are" (Rumsfeld), or anything like that, is it? Perhaps you remember that just a year ago I counseled skepticism over believing the White House statements over Iraq's WMDs. You disagreed (links available on request). Sometimes skepticism is the wise course. Your arrogance is shining through. Not a personal attack, just a statement of fact. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  14. You would not acknowledge the truth if it bit you in the ass. What I stated in the post you refer to is in fact the "truth". I do not like being called a liar. Unless you can establish you have any idea what did or did not happen in Viet Nam I suggest you keep your mouth shut about what the "truth" is. Did GWB steal you lunch money or what? Why would you carry so much hatred for one man? You are really starting to go around the corner. You've already told us that you did not witness the events that led to the award of Kerry's medals, yet you feel qualified to comment because you were in the country. I fail to see how you know anything about the circumstances of Kerry's injuries or medal winning behavior except by listening to the same people the rest of us listen to. Maybe he's for real and maybe he's a fraud. Neither you nor I have anything except hearsay to go on. As far as Bush is concerned, it is truly surprising to me that he can lie about so many things from government spending to WMDs to veterans benefits, yet all you right wingers continue to defend him. Don't you ever check to see whether he actually does what he says? This is just my opinion but you need help. You read something and in your mind is says what ever you want it to say. You will argue it seems just to argue and if a thread does not have anything to argue about you will inject something into it. This may come a shock to you, but you are not the superior being you think you are. Some where in your life I will bet you were wrong about something. But I will also bet you would argue about it. As far as being a right winger supporting Bush, you have no idea if I am a conservative, moderate or a liberal. You don't know me well enough to make that distinction. But of course you don't need fact to label someone do you. I have said this before and you have choose to ignore it. No where have I posted in support of Bush or questioned Kerry's actions in combat. I have questioned other peoples descriptions of what happened. I do attack his behavior on his return from Viet Nam. For that I call him a lying piece of shit. Now would you like to address that issue or are you going to continue charging blindly along ignoring anything that does not fit into your attack on GWB and his family back three generations?

  17. My part of what you refer to as second guessing, was in fact the way things were. No where in that post or any other post did I second guess Kerry's actions in a combat situation. Unless you can establish that you have any first hand knowledge of combat or in how American operations were conducted in Viet Nam maybe you should refrain making personal judgments on places and things you know nothing about. Second guessing constitutes you pretending to know what GWB or any other person was thinking at any given time. This thread was about Kerry's behavior on his return form Viet Nam. Have you thought about addressing that issue. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  20. If this was done during an attempt to shorten the loop, then the thing that jumps out to me it whoever did this is lazy. The bag should have been removed from the pack tray along with the risers and placed above the container. With the pack tray empty, adjust the loop and restart the pack job from there. Anytime you try to short cut the process you take a chance of something like this happening. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
