  1. You're sure about it. Read the manual/website please. Expected life!! No SCHEDULED mainenance. only maintenance on condition and of course battery cost!! well, I thought I was sure about it, so I checked the website; It is cheaper than a Cypres It should last 20 years no scheduled maintenance "The Vigil® main components such as cutter and electronic components are designed to have a life expectancy of 20 years from the Date Of Manufacture. It is a third millenium safety device with no imposed maintenance schedule" wasn't I right??????? It sure seems like a better deal to me Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  2. But will last 8 more years - no? It is expected to last for 20 years! Like the rest of the tandemrig?? The amazing thing about the vigil is that if it outlasts the tandem rig, take it out, switch modes, put it in yer sport rig! A cheaper AAD, that lasts longer, is multi-functional and will cost you less to maintain.... mmmmmmm - me likeee Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  5. I cannot believe nobdy has mentioned that piece of shit, life robbing, soul sucking "Eyes Wide Shut" - I am absolutely convinced Kubrick did not die of natural causes, someone who had $$ invested in the movie saw the end product and killed him - Hell I only had $14 invested in it and I would have killed him...........

  9. After many many jumps on a Sabre 190 that spanked me into submission many times, my Firebolt 164 opens sweetly and on heading - and has done for 200 jumps. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really! I love it (is that wrong.......) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  10. I've known the sumbitch for 6 years now and can offer the following advice: 1. Don't feed him Guinness after midnight that's all - the rest is gravy............ Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  11. I thnk it was $20 (not sure 'cause I can never go in Best Buy and get just one thing) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  14. I've not been there, but I've had lots of business dealings witrh John and he's a head's up guy and a pleasure to work with - if that's any indication he'll be running a good business over there too......

  15. It also prevents the risers spreading out and flipping over, it makes it a lot easier to check for step-throughs and continuity by having them equal and close. PLUS - when you get to the closing, you have a pull up right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  16. get your rigger's ticket, then - wherever you are, there's your rigger - seriously I agree with the above comments. Just because someone is a rigger doesn't mean you shouldn't check out their credentials and their work. I encourage people to watch me inspect and pack their rig at least once, so that they can see what's involved, and how seriously I take my work.

    Social Distortion

    They rocked! HOWEVER the 2nd band Lost City (of) Angels fucking ruled the night. Fresher, raw talent. I've listened to the cd 3 times now and it's blowing me away www.lostcityangels.com Not to take anything away from SD, but these guys are going to be huge if there's any justice in the music biz.....

    Sugar Gliderz

    okay - those who know me - know I'm not a pet-person (don't get me started on why everyone in Florida has to have three fucking dogs and chain them in the yard all the time....so that their barking pollutes the whole atmosphere.... sorry) so, when I said they were rodents, you have to know that I also think cats are one letter away from rats and that if it looks like a rodent, then it is to me (I was just trying to put a little levity out there-don't anyone take me seriously or get bent out of shape over my ignorace) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

    Crash

    y'ain't wrong! I caught it yesterday and it is fucking awesome! EVERY single performance is incredible, but Don Cheadle really shows what a class actor he is. It's a definite must see Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
  25. There have been, and are, some fine fine people in this sport, and Freddie was simply one of the best of them. It was my priviledge and fun to pack for him at Flagler and he and Keith are two of the best people I've ever worked for. There are some who leave us and their memories fade away, but I feel pretty damned sure we'll be telling Freddie stories for a LONG time! (Like the time he offered me $100 to pulll.... oh never mind). I will miss you Freddie Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
