    And you have to remember that Blair also declared war on terrorism and the British have been our allies in every endeavor so far. And just maybe he was talking about we as in the British, so you're the one not part of we. How ridiculous. Read his posts, he is referring to the Bush Adm. he mentions nothing about Blair or the UK. He has a lot to say about the running of a country he is just a guest in. Check his post history if you want to see somethin ridiculous. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You keep saying "we". You are not part of "we", you are not an American. You are British, remember. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Thanks to everyone for their input, I am going to try and steer him toward a Wings, and am thinking I may make my next one a Wings. Almost $2000 and 6 months + for a container is getting alittle out of hand. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Jeanne, You are right, when painted and with the decals, it is not UGLY, it is just ugly. Only kidding, that does make a big difference. And yes I can embrace new things, I now jump a ram-air main and a piggy back container. lol Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Hell, he didn't find them, the packer found them after the jump. He is afraid to look up because the sky is falling. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    JP, Yes, I jumped the FreeZR just after we talked about. I was just curious, saw what looked like two different models at the DZ yesterday. If Bonehead come out with something new I hope it is not a UGLY as what they have out now. Thanks, Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Taxes

    mjosparky replied to DaGimp's topic in The Bonfire

    I was just thinking about taxes today. I'm 58 years old. I think I will stop paying any more income tax. I figure is will take them 4 or 5 maybe even 6 years to catch up with me. After that it will take them another 4 or 5 years to get me into court and maybe 2 or 3 years to convict me. By then I will be 71 or 72, Fuck em right in the heart. No more taxes. Sparky And I agree with Jeanne, if you are serving in the armed forces of the country, you should not pay taxes on the embarrassing small salary you are paid.

    It still amazes me every time I hear something like this. I can't believe anyone would do this. Like selling known defective fire extinguishers........ only much worse. hope you find another soon He's got another conopy in it. I put a jump on it yesterday. Worked great, but I missed the peas by about 4 feet. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I know there is a gear review section, but I would like to hear from some of the more experienced DZ.comers and riggers who have jumped/packed a Wings container. Good, bad, or other. Thanks, Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Slug, Glad you cleared that up, I thought maybe I was having a senior moment. I am unbiased and happen to have been involved in canopy/system testing for over 20 years. I just don't think the risk/cost factor could be justified considering the relative small target group. At the end of a comprehensive test program you would have used up most of the canopies referred to in the test matrix. It is not a riggers reluctance to go against the manufacture's directives, the FAA requires that the manufacture's directives, recommendation, ect. are followed when packing a reserve/emergency system. When you consider the importance of a reserve canopy, 15/20 years is a long time. Trying to stretch the limit is foolish. imo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    John, If you had your first grandchild tomorrow, you would be 76 before you could take them skydiving. I think it would be better for him to take you skydiving. Sparky (age 58) My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I flew from CA to NC for the Kitty Hawk jump and took 4 sets for flotation with me. I shipped the CO2 cartridges ahead to CSS addressed to myself. I packed a "return" label and roll of shipping tape in with them. When we where done, I packed them back up and Nancy Fayard was sweet enough to ship the out for me. (Thanks again Nancy) As John said, if you show up at the A/P with them, they will make you remove them and then you will have to deal with "red flag" treatment. You might think about buying one once you get to Puerto Rico. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Kris, My offer stands, you get the bumpers and I will install them. I have them on both my rigs and think they are a good add. If there is a problem with Groundzero, I will be glad to talk to them. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Slug, Not sure what your reply means. I do not have a web site and my post was not "voice of experience" but a quote from the GQ manual. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
