Malfunction

Welcome. PWing at work is habit forming. I have got nothing done. But my priorities are straight. 1)PostWhoring, 2)PostWhoring, and 3)PostWhoring. I wish you speedy recovery. By the way, what DZ in Ohio? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Keep digging, dude, you almost made six feet. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

There is a teaching theory that says you truly know something after doing it 7 times. As a packer, I am willing to teach anyone who wants to learn (provided that I don't have a backlog of rigs). Do you know anyone at your DZ that could help? Other jumpers are usually nice enough about that, but if they pack for you, watch your wallet... I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Damn, I am leaning towards the years I HAVE BEEN ALIVE. I even had a late start. Now who is the slut??? There is a reason they call us "Packers"

SHHHHHHHHH! this IS a silent thread. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Ivan, you are SO unemployed I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

I am the resident packer at my DZ, so I may have some advice. First, maybe it is just experience on my part, but I have no problems with BRAND NEW ZP. I seem to be able to pack it just as easily and old, worn out F111. Again, it may be because I have TONS of packs under my belt. Second, Pro packing is simple enough, but the challenge is getting it in the bag. Pro packing makes the canopy pack just a little fatter than flat or psycho packing, and a LOT bigger than the roll pack. My way of packing utilized every part of your body that can hold the canopy down. Once you are ready for the S folds, Use your right hand and hold down the lines/slider/label, use your left hand to hold down the top of the canopy - move off to the left of the canopy. Move your left hand underneath the canopy where you are going to make your first S fold. With your right hand, lift up the label and lines, and with your left hand, slide the canopy underneath. Your first S fold is complete. Use your right knee and hold that S fold in place (usually putting your knee on top will force it to stay). Right hand lays where the next S fold will be, Left hand grabs the top of the canopy again. Make second S fold by bringing left hand on top of knee, moving right knee out and replacing with right hand, and laying the canopy down. Move your body to the lines (straddle the lines with your legs) and use your knees to hold the canopy in place. SLOWLY reach for the D-bag, and begin the difficult process. Hold firm with your right knee, slightly release pressure from your left knee and slide the d-bag underneath the canopy. Use your hands to tuck the canopy in as far as possible. Do the same with your right. If you did it right, you should be able then you move to the top of the D bag and use your weight to close the bag and make the first line stow. It sounds complicated, but it takes me all of about 30 seconds from S fold to that first stow. I would be happy to show you, but I live in Iowa.

Then I need your advise because I am wading in $hit neck deep. In fact, this past weekend I was covering for a coworker that was on vacation. She came back, complained to my boss that I didn't do a good enough job in her absence, the boss said that it was the last straw, called in the loan originator and had a discussion. The loan originator went to bat for me and proved that I did an incredible job, and the boss lady said that if the loan originator didn't vouch for me, it would have been my head. I think I need to start recording. But how to hide the recorder and get a good, clean recording? Any tips? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Dude- you could move to Iowa and take my job as loan processor. My boss wants to either fire me or lay me off (probably fire me because then she won't have to pay me severence). But then YOU will be the only guy in the office and YOU will become the estrogen release punching bag. What do ya think? Yeah, you are right, unemployment sounds better.

guess the slim-fast ws counterproductive, eh? homemade rice krispie square; bacon, egg and cheese crossaint; small mocha. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

I do a barrel roll by dipping my shoulder slightly. Mostly I do it at the end of a track, or out the door of the plane. Pulling about 4 barrell rolls out the plane while keeping an eye on it is kind of a rush. Of course, it only works if you are freeflying an exit. RW jumpers dont like it if you try to twist a 4-way. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

officer: do you know why i pulled you over? speeer: couldn't have anything to do with the 100 kilos of cocaine I have stored in the trunk, does it? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

ohh, somebody else into bondage... I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

My sentiments exactly. And I am a man... want proof? Damn! Now we have to have a discussion about sexual herassment. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

NOTE: Before engaging in any sexual acts, read this forum: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=589957 I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

We wouldn't be having this discussion if It is a bad enough situation that someone can change their mind and accuse someone else of rape after the fact. Now we have to tape record the entire night just to prove that there was no "NO, STOP" or we could find ourselves in court. You know damn well that if a woman CLAIMS she said "stop," the courts are going to believe her because it is a known fact that men are sex-driven pigs that don't give a damn for womens feelings or thoughts. Anyone get the impression that men are a doomed race because of this??? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party. The Indian Chief proclaims, "So, you are the great Lone Ranger! In honor of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse." The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver's ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed. "You have a very fine and loyal horse, but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?" The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a voluptuous brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. "You are indeed a man of many talents, but I will still kill you tomorrow. "What is your last request?" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse,....alone." The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent. Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, "Listen very carefully .... for the last time .... I said..... "BRING POSSE!"

Alright ya'll. Newbie wanting to make it to first WFFC. Where is Rantoul and once I get into Illinios, how do I get there? And most importantly, where is the dz.com tent going to be...near the beer tent? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

I must say I liked it enough to use it on a personal email to my brother (Wuffo). He got a kick out of it too... I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

With Sprint, if you have a call-drop, you are supposed to call in and have the minute credited back to you. I had call drops on my call drop calls. It was pathetic. you are right, of course, so let me rephrase... I bought a faulty phone first, then they replaced it with another faulty phone (the replacement phones you don't have a choice which one you get), and the replacement of that phone was worse than the one I originally bought. That make more sence? I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

I started jumping in 96. Lost a lot of money on something called college, stopped jumping in 98. Started again in 99-00, but had to quit again in 02 when my son was born. My best friend was injured badly at the 300 way attempt in Chicago a few years back, and I have stood by him through recovery and neither of us have had much desire to jump again. I actually sold my gear due to my sobbatical. It was old anyway. I still love the sport, but while I am broke and my son is dependant, I don't see any reason to put my life at risk in front of him. Maybe when he gets a little older. By the way, you really only need 1-2 jumps a year to stay current if you have a D liscense. I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire
