  4. > Whipped like the familly pig! < That is good, I'm going to remember that, Funny drunken story. When I was a teenager I lived on an smallish Island SW England our only form of entertainment was to buy a couple of kegs from Burts brewery, one night after a good drink we all crashed out on a friends living room floor I woke up in the small hours on top of my mates girlfriend doing the naughty. I'd been dreaming of my girlfriend an She'd been dreaming of her boyfriend. Needless to say our gasps of surprise woke up the rest, Her boyfriend was not amused. They got Married a year latter An I was invited to the wedding. Not funny drunken story. One night six of us bought a couple of kegs, sat on the beach drinking the night away. Only five of us woke up. RIP, Rockon (His name) Gone fishing

  8. Their is something so sexy about a woman chug-a-luging a whiskey bottle, I think it maybe the promise of whats to come. Oh, an TV dinners YUK, I tried my first TV dinner 10 years ago in San Diego(La Jolla) I nearly puked, So I went to Wendys for some healthy food. Gone fishing
  9. Watched the series as a child, The made the mistake of reading some of the books after reading Thomas Covenant, So Narnia was a bit of a let down. Gone fishing

    Sounds like if I ever do use it, it's going to fly like my old Coe-d's, 3 wraps an still no flare. Gone fishing
  11. Your job on jumprun (exit ) is to make shure you have given the group/ person ahead of you the count that the JM told you,IE: 6 secs, 10 secs whatever, also to be confortable with the spot. Depending on the size of the AC and your exit order it's going to be nearly impossible to know where every body is as groups tend to move across the sky in a random fashion, The time you need to be most aware is at pull time, years ago I got into the habit of looking down and looking up over my shoulder whilst coming out of the track. When my canopy opens and before doing checks I have a quick look around, as it's not good form to bump into another canopy, Gone fishing

    reserve question

    This summer my reserve (Micron 175) is going to have it's 20th birthday The only time it's seen the light of day is at repack time, Over the years it's had a new pilot chute and spring. Now I'm wondering if it's time to retire it an get a new one. Opinions/views? Gone fishing
  16. I'm not biased, Spain very cheap flights into Girona, Europes premier DZ close by. September/October weather not to hot around 70-75º Gone fishing
  17. I like my Gath video only, All other jumps Frap hat, But I'm an old fart. Frap hats seem to have gone out of style. Gone fishing
  18. Can you explain how double stowing can cause a baglock? Was the packer using tube stows or normal bungees? Last Saturday I had a weird opening, When I got back to the hanger an started packing and got to sorting out the D bag I noticed that the band on the last locking stow had doubled on it's self and I could not pull it through the grommet, My D bag has 4 locking stows, If the band had locked on stow 2 or 3 I would of been facing a bag lock malfunction. I always double stow, This is the first time I've experienced a band locking up. Gone fishing
