  2. "....really, most sincerely, dead" at 94.
  3. How the hell would I know? I was just guessing that a little pot patch like that should produce more than an ounce. Thanks to others for the explanations and the statute.
  4. Next time I'm in New Orleans I'll see about getting you a deal on one of those paper bags that they're not using anymore. Too late. They shipped them over to Tampa Bay.
  5. The poster said he wanted to know what to do when he was low. Admit it, doesn't that pick you up when you're low? Trivia... Julie Andrews character was modeled on an improvisation of Amazon. A mostly unknown fact. You could have suggested "Little Bit of Soul" by the Music Explosion. "When you're feeling low and a fish walks by, You need a little bit o' sole to put you right."
  6. If you have a 25 sq ft garden of pot and end up with only 1 oz or less you would be a pretty crappy gardener......or....wait... just.... a.... minute.....IT'S A DIABOLICAL TRICK! by the Calif. govt. to raise revenue. They get you to grow MORE than an ounce and then fine your ass for possession of over an ounce.
  7. I have several sets and one spare. I guess I can post a photo of one. Never know when you're gonna need one of those.

  9. Taking it to the limit......it is possible to open at 5000 ft., for example, and use up all of it with a single 360 degree revolution (or any fraction of that "spin"). Of course, you will use all 5000 ft. in straight flight, too, so figuring out what inputs combined with various wingloadings, wing shapes, etc. will give what results will be a little complex. (if you can read that last sentence and make any sense of it, please let me know what I meant
  10. Don't know much about the technical differences between them, but I think the same guy developed the Javelin and the Dolphin. (I really wanted to do some of the intentional cutaway jumps for them at Z-hills but it was determined that I wasn't experienced enough back then to do that )
  11. True. That's why people with a ton more experience normally wait for someone like you, who is knowledgeable in theory, to give a worthy LOGICALLY definitive answer that ends in "could be or not". he is a reincarnated German philosopher D "Nietzsche is dead!", God. (and he's probably not coming back)
  12. Maths That would be correct - well done Well, maths would be an abbreviation for mathmaticses. (Is physics plural in the UK? Same with mechanics. I don't know ......... that's why I'm askin'.)
  13. Yeah! ....but on the plus side....... no long rambling responses!

  15. Nothing particularly bad about any of those answers if they are taken to be hypotheses based on the OPs perceived observations. Your statements suggest that the next step should be to conduct experiments (measurements) to confirm or refine the OPs observations. Use different canopies (types and sizes) with various wingloading, inputs, and turn rates. Then theories can be applied to attempt to explain the data gathered resulting from actual measurements. Kinda takes the fun out of it.
  16. FKF HWB AFU ACLU or NAACP? PETA PITA
  17. Ohhhhh!..... Fellow Cub ....... I thought you said clicky!
  18. I would like to see that if they do it similar to LoTR. It will take multiple "premium-length" movies to do The Foundation Trilogy and make any sense of it. The one I would like to see made is Heinlein's Glory Road, one of my all-time favorites...(or The End of Eternity also by Asimov)...... both dealing with the manipulation of time.
  19. Looks very well at 86!
  20. I'm not so sure about the bolded part of that. When it was at the Sod Farm, Cliff and Patty Dobson were running it (at least while I was jumping there). I know that Cliff moved to near Mulberry where he still is and it's still called Tampa Bay Skydivers. Not saying it might have been Mac's for a while, just don't remember that... ==================== Edited to add: Different name. I just looked up Cliff's place and it's called Skydive Tampa Bay. Maybe Tampa Skydivers moved to Mac's and Cliff took over the Sod Farm? OK, here's a longshot question for one of you old geezers: Back in the early 90's I acquired an old rig from a pawn shop in Lakeland. I took it to Zhills where it was identified as a possible non-TSO'd "Sod Farm" container. Color is solid red, webbing and all. I still have the container somewhere and can get pics later. It was packed with a reserve (don't remember which) and a red and black Strato Star. The Strat had a "double" bridle and single pilot chute. It also had rings which maybe suggests that it was converted to slider reefing from r & r. I gave the canopies away years ago (now I wish I kept the SS). I wonder if anyone remembers this rig or the owner? Like I said.......long shot!
