    Earth tones were supplanted by neons, which have (literally) faded away. Tie-dye for rigs has been popular for a while now. How long until tie-dye is "out?" What's the next trend?

    Hey Jeff, How was your second demo weekend?
  3. headoverheels
    Last time I looked, I had well over twenty skydives. I know this post is in reference to the JFTC calendar. I guess the poster doesn't realize that in order for a *gal* to be on the JFTC event, she has to have well over twenty skydives. Last time I looked, this didn't say anything about having twenty jumps. Try another read.

    Fixed rate loans are still common here in the US; they don't come up for renewal.

    Either the one where we went up and did RW from the early 70's, i.e. round-backloop-round, or maybe this one in the photo

    I see meaning two as being the meaning that was warped for skydiving. The canopy is whining around, then finally opens. Used to be a "bad thing." Now considered a "good thing" as it implies a softer opening.

    Then let's teach more children to talk dirty.

    Is he wearing Tevas?

    A biff is a punch, like in boxing. Those of us old enough to have seen the Batman shows on television 35 or so years ago saw this word superimposed over fight scenes. Like "snivel" the word has taken on a somewhat different meaning in the skydiving realm.

    Is the runway on the farm, or is it a shuttle?

    If there had already been 5 on the load, including the DZO, when you walked up, and you added as number 6, would the plane have gone with only 5 paying? If not, then you shouldn't get your ticket back. If so, maybe you should.

    There are reasonbly good deals on Xaos 88 and 98, and a 93 27, under the classifieds.

    I asked him to break dance. He did the moonwalk, which I guess is close enough.

    My ex-wife, when she wasn't my ex, used to do some work for me. She bought that book, "how to work for a jerk" but it didn't help much.

    It looks hard.

    Yeah, but he can rub his belly while patting his head.' I also asked him to vacuum the carpet, and he did a reasonable job.

    What kind of links do you have?

    I asked the chicken to read me a story. It went to the bookcase and flipped through a book.
  19. headoverheels
    Yep, you do. Even when you were benched on a big way for momentary lapses, you never lost an opportunity to spew knowledge regarding skydiving technique, equipment, and the mental incompetencies of the organizer.

    Maybe they don't have the 150 for your friend, but I just shipped back a Samurai 105 3 days ago, after having it to demo for two weekends. They may just not have one right now, and not be in the mood to build/pay for another 150 for demo purposes. Like PD, they take a credit card for the value of the canopy when they ship you a demo, but that doesn't help if someone steals the canopy under other circumstances.

    Nothing to do with that. This stowing was during packing, not after opening.
  22. headoverheels
    I remember a few years ago (okay, maybe 20 years), it used to be common to stow your slider into a rubber band which was attached at the top of some line, maybe the center cell B line. Basically, grab the center of the slider and stuff some of it through said rubber band before putting the canopy in the bag. Why did we do that, and why did we stop? Edited to make it clear that I'm talking about stowing during packing, not after opening.

    Should they be allowed? yes Should they do it? no A Prince Albert is a whole 'nother question.

    We didn't have time for an avionics repair, so we are just gonna taxi up 337 to our destination.

    Totally out of line. If you want to be proper, get a copy of Judith Martin's "Miss Manners on Weddings," have your intended peruse it, and obey her every command. I seem to recall that proper for a daytime wedding will have the men in striped pants... Edit to add: hey, still buy the boots, they are great. Any you'll feel less constrained with materials if you are not trying to make them look good for the wedding attire, such as wondering whether it is ostrich or gator for an afternoon wedding
