Hi Clay Just my luck. I was born way to soon. The way the current trend is going to qualify as a "sweet young thing/boy toy I would have to hook up with a 85 yr old women. R.I.P.

Hello, sweetie. It worked - I'm here! You're thread qualified in all of my "attention" categories except the "on fire" type. You need to generate some more activity to get to that stage. Perhaps a more racey picture of yourself would do the trick? Hi JR That could be box's of ammo in the pic. R.I.P.

Naah, I would have been OK with him wishing bad things on me and leaving my laptop where he found it. Hi Boss Don't sweat the small stuff. Some person just picked up the wrong laptop by mistake, as soon as they realize what happened they will return it to you if they can figure out how to track you down. Don't worry be happy

We have rules here too y'know. Reserves containing expired Cypres's can't be packed. I've messaged the lady in question; in this country that Cypres is useless except as collateral for a trade-in, and the current bid price is above that. Hi Dino Sorry about I wasn't aware that australia had the same cypress requirement as the US. Thanks for taking the time to give the present low bidder on Ebay the info about buying something she won't be able to use. Donations to eastern europe anyone

You haven't seen my rig. A solution: I had a rigger make a connector for me. It is a piece of webbing with loops at each end. The loops slide over each of the leg straps. It is pulled up all the way to the top of the leg strap in back. The overall length should be such that the tension in the strap is snug when your leg straps are tightened for a jump. The loops are slightly smaller than the width of the leg straps so that it can stay in place without any additional tacking or rigging. I have been using this for a few years now. This strap looks very much like the free floating tandem chest straps but it is not adjustable. Every once in a while people ask me what that is for. I tell them that I can get out of my rig with both parachutes packed. It's even easier when the main is out. The strap makes it harder, if not impossible, to get out. Most people think I'm overly anal about falling out backwards. For most jumpers on most deployments, the split saddle has a remote possibility of allowing someone to fall out. This would result is a catastrophic event, the death of the jumper. For other jumpers the probability is higher and may be close to very probable. I think it is only a matter of time before a sitflyer with a premee gets his rig yanked off of him. I spoke with a very experienced TI about this and he said his school put those little bungy things on all of the tandem passenger harnesses. He even told me of one jump where the passenger almost fell out (before they had the bungy things installed). There was nothing he could do to help keep her in. He felt helpless, but fortunately she did not fall out. He also told me of a large student that went fetal when he pulled. The jumper almost fell out. The chest strap was up around his neck. The leg straps were down at his knees. The jumper could not reach his toggles either. This TI also modified one tandem harness for special needs people. It has two extra straps to hold the buttocks in. He also uses this harness for some elderly jumpers who may not have strength in their hips. . Hi MIH Your The bungee strap and your solution to the remote possiability of falling out of a harness got me thinking About "back in the day" jumping military surplus rigs. These rigs came with a connector strap between the legs straps. When these rigs were modified so the harness had a split saddle it was a nice improvement in the comfort level, but folks were only doing style ACC and belly flying. The sport has evolved and the rigs with it so that the head downers don't have to worry about premature opening due to exposed PC bridles etc. Maybe it's time for the harness manufactures to consider offering the option to the FF's of a solid saddle so a $2 bungee band aid isn't required on a $2k container. R.I.P. Remember the pre split saddle days?

Sell it on eBay. There is a out of date one there, going for $102, with two days left on the bidding. I wonder whether the high bidder knows that it is expired. The present low bidder is from australia, so they might know what their getting. The seller otoh also has a WFFC 2005 hat for sale. No comment on their money habit's. I vote for donating a expired cypress to skydivers in countries where their use is permitted. Like someone else said, some of the gear their jumping is well used. R.I.P.

Pass the Salt R.I.P.

We heard Home Depot referred to as "The BORG" Big Orange Retail Giant R.I.P.

Hi Scratch There may be some DZ's that don't play the High School B.S. game

IMO Travelocity is just pimping their name. Any customers skyride gets thru their new partner will cost skyride a piece of the action and then there's the travelocity customer satisfaction guarentee Sears among others have been allowing questionable companies use their name for selling stuff like vinyle siding, retro fit windows etc. The customers think their dealing with Sears but their contract says otherwise. Buyer beware R.I.P.

Nice looking DZ Wonder how tall thenekkid lady in the photo is BTW her hair doesn't appear to be affect by the airflow. so maybe a chop job The good news is she still could be tall

Hi BV I'm in love

Hi S_C Damn women/dad thats about 200 jumps /yr. But who's counting Any good quotes from the "Hero" Jocks at school R.I.P.

They still make rounds and thousands of our soldiers jump em. They're not dangerous, but it's necessary to be well trained; especially the landing. Para Commanders are very accurate and actually don't land that hard. I know, because I jumped one several times in 03 at my "meat missle" weight. Hi EFS Meat Missle Just another 250# old fart You know the drill Peas or PLF BTW Amazon has been jumping her rounds at LP at the boogie (water jumps) R.I.P.

Don't know quite what to say about a post like this that would not be censored by the moderators. Photo attached again - in case you realize what you just did. I'll save the profile info, in case anyone asks. . Hi MIT LMAO we looked at the pic first and to see you had a receeding hairline and were old enoug to have a 14 yo kid. Be interesting to hear Mr B aka RWS comments on the subject, since their the ones with the big stick. R.I.P.

Hi BSBD Thanks for the pics How many jumps does your daughter have now

Hi Gia Your only seeing them at work Just think about their home life Someone is/willbe married to them, and they will have kids. R.I.P.

Hi lindsey IMO The system is set up so that both lawyers win R.I.P.

You want lube No problemo Pass the Ben Gay we'll give you some Lube R.I.P.

Midnight Express wasn't about doing drugs on holiday. It was about smuggling them. Smuggling is one of the stupidest things you can do. Smuggling hash is even stupider. You can do drugs on holiday. You just can't be a dumbass about it. As I told someone else: If there is someone on the street selling you ten different kinds of drugs, he's selling you one thing: it's either salt, a mugging, or a jail sentence. Just don't even bother. There's legitimate drug dealers in every country. Hi Unformed thanks for the clarification. "Legit drug dealers in every country", Retailers selling to tourists don't have to worry about customer loyalty to stay in business. "Legit drug dealers in every country" Thats like looking for a virgin prostitute Everyone was a virgin at least once R.I.P.

Hi Mikkey Back in the day we attended the "Boogie in Bali" Upon our arival we were told about the drug laws in bali and "Just say no" or we could be on our own for a very long time. We were when a couple of drug dealers approached us the first couple of days but we were so they stopped aproaching us

This is what I heard also. Anyway, the loons are surfacing and travelling the globe. Be afraid....be very afraid! Cuz we know that loons carry bird flu.. Hi Eric Me bad it was the japanese mob not the chinese (no racial jokes) R.I.P.

Have you heard the one about weather forcaster who believes that the chinese are responsiable for the recent hurricane activity. Sorry can't find the link but his theory is that the chinese acquired a machine from the russians that had been developed during the cold war. We're doomed we're all doomed R.I.P.

Hi A Damn first the Japanese buy old growth timber from the PNW Now the oil companies are selling the oil from alsaka to the highest bidder. R.I.P.

Hi neal Assuming what your saying is true
