Just go to http://www.zazzle.com and make your own. Not cheap but not too expensive.

Two, the third one just gets in the way.

I eat White Castles when I'm plugged up, they work every time. I do like the breakfast they have, little tiny bacon egg and cheese, the chicken rings are good too.

Better health insurance?

I was under the impression that sprays were not really a good thing as babies have pretty small airways. Kind of the reason most doctors say that baby powder could cause breathing problems if too much is used too close to the baby. Just get some Butt Paste, you can find it at http://www.buttpaste.com.

I like puppies, But the Pilots Lounge sounds like a good idea. There are other web sites for most of those things. I think there are jump pilot related sites too. Ask Diverdriver....

Petition to support a BSR change to reduce canopy fatalities

I still have not seen a "good" fix for what seems to be the problem. What about classic accuracy? They don't belong with the swoopers. So we need a whole extra area for them? -
I had my first cutaway today, Jump # 264. After a 5-way jump I tracked off and opened. I had line twists almost all the way up. (Synergy 170) My Altitrack shows fully open at 2100 feet, I took a look and decided I wouldn't get them all out at a safe Altitude. Chopped at 1800 and was fully under my reserve at 1500. After I cutaway I thought, Oh, Hmm. then I pulled silver. Apparently I didn't delay too much because everyone thought I had a RSL or skyhook. I told them No, just a Racer. I dropped my cutaway handle, but it was found before we made it back to the truck. Yes, I got beer.

I don't think that using something else (Chantix) would cause a transfer of addiction problem. I used it and was off of it before my first 4 weeks were up. see here http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2611755;#2611755

I think she is worth more now, being bigger and all. I DO call her my little parachute packer. I guess the wife will be hanging out at the DZ with me more from now on. It is great so far, Ava is happy as long as she is outside or around people.
-
She still eats boobie. That saves a ton. I quit smoking and cut out a few other things. (But Mommy did have to have a "new" car)
-
I was using a PDA as a remote, but that was over her head. Now I just set it to the computer input and hand her the Firefly remote (Snapstream Beyond TV) I don't get too many of those calls anymore.

I was forwarded this email a few days ago from babycenter.com http://www.babycenter.com/mybabycenter/1320.html Interests you once shared with certain people — skydiving, nightclubbing, shopping for shoes 'til you dropped — may no longer mesh with your new lifestyle. I apparently missed something, I've still been jumping and my 3 month old likes being outside, she doesn't care.
-
No Never. She always calls me and asks how to make the sound work or that she has a picture but no sound. No remote for you.
-
Search the threads, L&B's customer service is top notch. I thought the wrist strap on my Altitrack was too long and they were more than happy to custom make one for me, free of charge. (I know I could have cut it, sewed and melted the strap, but I saw one that someone else had done themselves and it didn't look so good.)

I know that classic accuracy is not / should not be part of a standard pattern. I just wanted to point out what I was reading into the proposal. I also do not think there should be any exception for classic accuracy. I also do not think that classic accuracy should be over in a HP landing area. I know a tuffet can be moved pretty much anywhere, but a pea pit would be a little more difficult to move. (I still land in the peas, because I suck and I may miss the tuffet...) Thanks for considering the almost forgotten things, I think classic accuracy is really a non-issue, my concern was the (NW) and no mention of it.
-
The way I read it, classic accuracy would be a HP landing. With the crazy patterns, s turns and all. But what do I know, I'm just getting into accuracy. If we are going to be making (NW) BSR's we should have something about classic accuracy for that .001% that still do it.

They are not made yet. I remember an airline a few years ago, Southeast. I think they found the planes in a junkyard and used whatever parts they could to make them work. Looking up from my seat I could not see the same type of screw used more than once.They also looked "well used". At least these will be new planes.
-
This new airline out of Columbus, OH has just announced $10 Fares to Boston (PSM), LA (BUR), Kanas City (MCI), Richmond (RIC), Seattle/Vancouver (BLI), Greensboro (GSO), Ft Lauderdale (FLL), and S.F./Bay Area (OAK). They claim they will have at least 10 seats on each flight for only $10. $5 per checked bag. All in "new" Airbus A319's. They currently have no information on parachutes or skydiving equipment on the web site, just a carry on limit of 9" X 16" X 19" and 22 lbs.

MythTV can do a lot of things, but it can be a pain to set up depending on what you want to do. For TV recording I use Snapstream Beyond TV. I have 3 HD tuners and 2 SD tuners and it works like a champ. I don't really keep anything around after I watch it. If I want to keep it, I'll just burn it to DVD and put it in my 400 disc Sony DVD player. For other media (Music, Pictures) I have a Hauppauge MVP with a Beyond TV mod on it. I tried Myth,Sage,Orb, and a few others and I ended up sticking with Beyond TV.
-
Yeah it's been picked over but there are still some good deals. I got a (pny) Nvidia Geforce 7600 GS (512MB Ram) for $107 and a Linksys WUSB300N (usb wireless N) for $70. They were only 20-40% off.

Makers Mark ($) or Jeffersons Reserve ($$$)

They are closing a bunch of stores. Just in case you needed to spend some money. http://www.compusa.com/locations/closing_stores.asp With the money I spent today I could have gotten a new Jumpsuit and some other things. (I'm way to fat to fit into my old jumpsuit)

Should D license requirements be changed?
pwln replied to Croc's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
So the people that are afraid to do a night jump should get one in near a major city and on a full moon night. Problem solved.
