    Having a "safety meeting ," of course, but not until the jumping is over.

    I have an ancient one-altitude ditter. I set it at an altitude that I should be well into a track (3k for small loads, where we'll break at 3.5k or 4k). I've never had it go off while I'm still in formation.

    Been there. Immediately booked for the San Carlos beach boogie, which I'd been too busy to attend. Got zero notice, 2 wks pay. The boogie weekend ate 5 weeks of unemployment income. Off 12 wks, got new (real) job with old consulting customer, 35% raise.

    I'm in favor of paying to send e-mail, and being paid that money by the sender to receive it.

    They should have refunded your money the day of the non-jump. I know my usual DZ would do that, and I would be shocked if others in my area were any different. If you can't get it resolved, drag them to small-claims court. That may not work either, but it should be easy to show that they didn't really do anything for the money, if everything is as stated.

    One foot at a time if you are standing...

    Nah, it means that your canopy was whining and complaining Anyone know when this term got the present skydiving meaning? We used to refer to trying to get on a load where not already invited as "snivelling onto a load," but that pretty much followed a dictionary meaning.

    Yes, you can help collect money, go for pizza and beer, etc. Seriously, you'd need to have pretty exceptional RW experience, maybe with a lot of coaching and tunnel time, to get on this type of load with a couple of hundred jumps, and you'd need someone well known to vouch for you. At fifty jumps, I'd worry about one's abilities to be safe on the load, in the event of funnels, traffic problems, or just normal breakoff/track/clear/dump. I expect that someone with 50 jumps would want to dump higher than would be allowed on these loads.

    Will likely do better without that daddy.

    Hi Lany, Love the new avitar -- did you paint it?

    You're fun, but I don't know about that boring your ass bit...

    My ex kept the airplane when we split, but I still get to rent it from her. She hardly ever flies, so I can almost always use it when I want. One day, not longer after we split, I forgot that it was not mine anymore, and took it off without asking. She happened to show up to take a friend flying, and the plane was gone. She was a lot nicer about that than I would have been. We still do things for each other.

    Something from Post, I'm sure. Maybe new Cinnamon Post Whores.
  18. headoverheels
    Which you might be, if you try to take off from a high altitude, short runway with full fuel.

    'cause they're more fun...

    I got my A, C, and D already. Now that I know I can get a license for sex, I'd like to add the B. A-3456 (easy to remember)

    Well that must have changed over the last decade some time! Now where did that video get to?

    This sometimes used to happen to me some years ago, I think on my Raven3. I would just stall the canopy, which would flip the pilot chute to the back. On at least one occasion the pilot chute was around the center cell A line, so I just landed, no effect on such a large canopy.

    Saw a funny Wanda Syke routine last week. She was saying that, when it becomes obvious that it ain't gonna happen, then further action is just cutting into her sleep time, so she comes out with Oh yeah baby!
