WELL - EXCUUUUUUUSE ME!!!!!! Excuse me for dreaming - for dreaming of an ideal world where we don't have to live our lives defensivly, to step around menacing animals and live my life AROUND them. If you are acusing me of trying to make this world a better place, then call me guilty!!!! on a second note, all the cat lovers are taking this thread WAAAY to seriously. Do you really think the Humane Society would let me do half this stuff???? sds Manhattan KS =========Shaun ==========

Thats for the insight. That the only thing i've heard yet of the new quasars, you just don't see them much. -sds manhattan ks =========Shaun ==========

Cats piss me off. I've had enough of them, I'm sick of all of them and their hairballs. Just last night, a cat crawled into an open window of my Nice 1970 Opel GT (WITH BRAND NEW LEATHER INTERIOR) and took a whizz on the wooden consoling.

Dang, i give up. Whats wrong with it?? Funny story - This is serious, i saw this with mine own eyes. Some guy who just bought a rig showed up at the DZ, his first packjob i think, but when he open the container up to show us his canopy, the slider was outside of the bag! -sds "I like bushes because the don't have pricklers.

My bad, he's bringing out an old sport canopy from the 70's that "is same dimensions and radius" as the military version. I hope we can fit that in a Student Jav, we can fit a manta in there, we can fit anything!! sds =========Shaun ==========

HAHA, complaints, comming from California?? (all incredulous like) Here in Kansas, on the High Plains, when the wind comes, NOTHING stops it. We are lucky to get to jump both saturday and sunday without closing down shop for winds. Drives me nuts. sds "I like bushes because they don't have prickles. Unless they do. This one did.

I was wondering about this the entire string, but too tactful to ask directly! I'm glad that got cleared up.

I work for a florist taking FTD and Dove orders. It's a pretty gay job, and i would never like to mention it again. It pays for skydiving, so it's all good. At least i'm not flipping burgers or scraping shit. sds manhappening kansas "Bushes are nice because they don't have pricklers. Unless they do.

HELL, i've known i've wanted to jump since i was 5. this wasn't a question i had in mind. As soon as i turned 18, a buddy of mine from my phys lab up at KState and i took the FJC, and it was everything i've been dreaming about. No chance i'll be quitting anytime soon! s. smith manhappening kansas "One time, i heard your dad went into the resturant, and he ate all the food in the resturant, and they had to close the resturant" - ralph wiggam =========Shaun ==========

ALL Skydiving Chix Rock!!! No questions asked, maybe i should get in the habbit of letting them know it. Just need to make sure that doesn't cause conflicts with their Boyfriends/husbands/et cetera. I'll say this, however.

WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN IDAHO!!!! Take it from me, there is PLENTY to do in the Spud State! Ever take up fly fishing? some of the best streams in the nation! Backpacking, hiking, camping, hunting, skiing, mountians, plains, only a short drive from West Yellowstone! I could die!!! I used to live down S. by Salt Lake, and i would drive with my buddies up to idaho every opportunity i could!! wow, lucky you

I guess i did miss the point. sorry folks. Maybe when i get some experience at a bigger dz i'll fully understand. sorry for the space!! sds =========Shaun ==========

Hey all, whats up with the new Quarar II's?? Our DZ uses older ones (pre 95) as the transition rigs, but i have never seen one owned by a jumper. Their price is competitive, they offer 2-week deliveries, and their customer service seems A++, Is there something wrong with them. All advice is welcome!!! s. smith manhappening kansas =========Shaun ==========

WATER RIG!!!!! hey, i know lots of people who would buy it just to jump it at Good old Tuttle Creek Lake, get some friends and a motor boat, you can have quite an afternoon!! - sds Manhattan KS =========Shaun ==========

Do i think this is a good or a bad idea?? We'll,it WOULD make me feel better about skipping out on church to catch the sunrise load, but seriously.......

hey, NO FAIR!! you set it up so you can't vote for more than one. You know what? I'm pretty pissed off that Elizabeth Hurely wasn't an angel, she's mine, touch her and i'll kill you all dead!! s smith =========Shaun ==========

It doesn't seem weird at all to me, half the non-jumpers out there don't know the meaning of a 300 way of why it is significant, but WOW, A RUBBERBAND BALL OUT OF AN AIRPLANE, THATS CRAZY!! - sds Manhattan KS " WOW, A RUBBERBAND BALL OUT OF AN AIRPLANE, THATS CRAAAAZY"

I have a Tempo 150, which is smaller than the PD 7-Cell I'm flying as my main. It came with the container when i bought it second hand from a local rigger. It bothers the hell out of me, and as soon as i save another 200 dollars or so, i'll upgrade. - sds =========Shaun ==========

Happy 100th buddy!!! -sds =========Shaun ==========

Well spoken response, Ron, Clearly you have devolped a well thought out set of ideas. I compleatly agree with your viewpoint, putting wingloading restrictions into the BSR's would make a change for the better, and the simple Dutch plan discussed in this thread would please even the most performance oriented jumpers. I have never seen for myself a 100- jump wonder, i don't think they exist, but as for myself, I'll keep 1:1 for quite a while, there is no rush, and I have MANNNNY more jumps til i know it all. - s. smith "why didn't the pirate go visit his mother?"

THis is hard for me to understand, since i come from a Rural Kansas DZ with 1 C-182 and a quite country airport ALL to ourselves. Being cut from a load? I would kill that load organizer!! What if that was the last load of the day??? If my pin is in, and i'm manifested, and no students are waiting, thats my spot! I see the big DZ's and their procedures, it just seems like such a waste sometimes. If you keep jumping with those of your experience level, your never going to get any better. Some of the best jumps, where i have learned the most, have been where i have been invited to do a 3 way or 4 ways with coaches or instructors, and sometimes i have screwed up, yea royaly. I guess this goes back to the problem of being at a DZ with people who take a jump as seriously as if they were at Nationals, and some people (Like mE) who want to have fun and learn as much as possible (more skill, more fun). Half the fun is in learning, and maybe some big loads should just calm down and accomodate for other jumpers. B.T.W. , it seems that being cut from a load at a DZ where there are not enough aircraft to keep everyone in the air as much as they please, is simply, well, retarded. Sometimes i just wish people would calm down and enjoy themselves more. - sds "Just stop whining and put it in the bag, you have a reserve - My mentor on ProPacking" =========Shaun ==========

Hey, one of our instructors from KC is bringing out an old T-10 we are planning on stuffing into a student Javelin. Anybody tried this yet? The guy is a rigger, and he says he's done it on the occasion. - sds "Just quit whining and put it in the bag, you have a reserve - my mentor on ProPacking" =========Shaun ==========
