call your car insurance company, they might give you a reduction...they did for me...but 30 was the last time. then go spend the money you saved on a jump ticket! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

If my reserve was repacked on Oct 22, 2006...should the DZ allow me to jump it on Feb 18, 2007 (sunday). I counted oct 22 as day 1, feb 18th is day 120. Do I have to the end of the 120th day? thanks. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

The reason I'm leaning toward 2 stroke is the cheap price of engine rebuilds. did not know they were that much cheaper. i rebuilt my xt550 top end, new piston, wrist pin, rings, gaskets...about $200 (my labor) hell, they charge $3000 to rebuild my 2-stroke Rotax 582 on my ultralight...but thats because its a flying thingy. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I ride an old 83 yamaha XT550(among other bikes)...they did come with an electronic solid state ingnition. I would go with a four stroke. Much smoother power band in my opinion. Plus, on those cross country rides, you just plan a stop at some mom and pop gas station...no premixing. They old ones like mine are a bit heavier, but if your not looking to catch air, these old "thumpers" as we call them are great. Mine once sat for 5 years, and then started on the 3rd kick. I rode a RM 250 once, hit the power band on a paved road, it wanted to stand up and run away from me...scary! good luck. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Well, my dad did electrify the RV that was parked at our house...but it was to keep the dogs from peeing on the tires. Got one hell of a shock one day when I was a kid! Um, no, I was not peeing on it. So you could do this, it might take some insulation mounts on the hinges and contact points. Me, I have two boxers and a border collie...and lots of guns! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

sure this has been mentioned somewhere...but my wife and i just watch the show. she commented that a hook knife to cut the main risers may have helped? all depending on the nature of the snag on the container. wonderful that he survived. blue skies for him! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

"Two way team" as in the generic brand. your uniforms would have to be white and black, with basic, generic, lables. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i got pied on my 100th...problem was that the cream was bad...yuck. could not get rid of the smell. being a bit buzzed that night, i got frustrated...and poured some listerine in a toothbush, and snorted it. yeaoooooooh! holy burning nose batman...and i still smelled the cream. turns out it was on my 2 day old beard, and all i needed was a really good shower. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

oh, I forgot about the time my wife crashed her quad, and pushed her knee cap around the back side of the knee. oh it gets worse. She is so far back in the woods, she has to be taken out on another quad...bump bump bump bump...then at the hospital, the doctor tricks her, says she is going to take a look, grabs jenni's knee, and quickly snaps the cap back into place...no pain killers. Jenni's mom was down the hall and says the enitre hospital heard the scream. The doc did the right thing though, the paic was far less moments after the she had put it back in place. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i would agree. my wife explains how its a mental game. isolate the pain, hold it in your hands, put it aside. i know she can do this based on some of the rough landings she has had. this girl can take more pain than anyone, i'll say it again, anyone i have ever met. she has 4 fused vertabre, but does yoga every day to control the pain...to her, its all about beating the pain, with no drugs. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

this is second hand so i do my best. my wife had back surgery to correct scoleosis (spelling?) and her pancrease got bumped...turn into pancreatitus. she could not eat for 3 months, so every day, to keep her stomach from digesting itself, and shrinking, the nurses would shove a tube down her throat, fill her stomach with saline, and drain it. this procedure was actually less painfull then the starvation pain. she was kept alive by introvenus IV, but got down to 85 pounds at age 17. so one day, she is sitting there in bed, going nuts from not eating for 2 months. this cheerio has been sitting on the floor for 2 days under the next patients bed...yep, she gave in...and it tasted good. think about this next time you feel like your starving... ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

my wife and i jump with clear lenses...specifically to communicate. once you do many jumps with the same partner, you do communicate with your eyes...no other signals needed. get over "looking cool" to others and start repeating to yourself...."the only person i have to impress in myself." otherwise the skydiving world may not be for you. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I planned my drive home from a weekend of flying ultralights in the desert to take place during the stupidbowl...perfect, no traffic, and i was enjoying the memories of actually doing something with my life, instead of watching some lame game. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

ok, then not a crash, but program failure. we have nothing but the basics on the machine. we only use it to access the MLS (wife is a realtor) due the MLS website not being Mac friendly. We were happy with just the MAC, but require the PC for MLS. The MLS website seems a bit old in design, and I wonder if that could be the reason for the constant explorer failures. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
