I am a packer and have made it my new job to remind people to tack down their Slinks. The one thing I always seem to hear from people is they are waiting for them to set before tacking them. The way my wife and I see it is they will set set fine even if they are tacked down when installed. In other words is there a reason to wait to tack them down? What do you all think?

Wow, a Yuengling fan in CA? That's my favorite brew, and I get it fresh. I always heard that people in CA had no taste but you just proved me wrong. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Ryan, Your not that lazy..... If you didn't pay us to pack for you then we wouldn't jump as much and then you wouldn't have any one to jump with.

after scrolling through the listings ALL of the trailers on the site were very well used. I don't think there was 1 that didn't have some sort of damage, mold or smell...... Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

just get yourself a ProTec they offer good protection and they are cheap ($40). that way if you ever forget to fasten it properly going out the door of the plane it's not a lot of money lost, unless there is a ProTrack invovled.

Ryan, Jen and I were going to bring the sewing machine this week end if you are going to be there. If you are I expect to see a finished product by sunset on sunday. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

my wife and I are disagreeing about this Does partly cloudy mean that there is more clouds than sun or more sun than clouds? I think that partly cloudy means that there is more sun than clouds. Am I wrong? Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

First Cutaway/ First Canopy Wrap

Very nice post jumper A. I think you should have titled it "no shit there I was......" Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
I am trying to find a half decent sewing machine for my wife in her rigging endeavors. She just wants something to play around with to get better at sewing. I have a line on a Singer model 227 for a good price ($50) but can't find much out about it. Any help for me out there? chad Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Right now my right arm is in a cast. I am right handed. I have received no complaints from the management at my house concerning nighttime activities

We have the "porn monkey" at Chambersburg. If anyone wants the story just stop by sometime and ask around for him. It's a great story Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

There is no elastic there to keep it in place, and my landing was fine. It was just a weird feeling that I hadn't experienced before. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

During a jump yesterday I threw out at 3500 and my canopy sniveled like I had never seen before. After about 4-5 seconds of not being stood up i looked up and it finally opened at about 2500. The opening was very soft. When i went to pack I saw the closing loop was not there anymore . My rigger had replaced the loop 30 days ago during a repack, it is a Racer container which had a "thick" loop and no washer and he replaced it with a "thinner" red loop with a washer. I have jumped it about 20 times with the new loop. Is it possible that when I threw out the closing loop pulled the whole way though the flaps?

0:9:Too many first jump with my wife (she just got her A) , first time packing for other people, first time trying an 8 way on the sunset load (didn't work out perfectly but it was fun), lost my helmet with my pro track in it launching a 3 way (I forgot to buckle it ) I love this sport Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

Odd question, What's the best Elvis wedding chapel in Vegas?
skydivingchad replied to BlindBrick's topic in The Bonfire
My wife and I got married at the Little White Wedding Chapel and having elvis there is one of the packages you can buy. They take care of everything, they sent a limo to pick us up at the hotel and take us to the courthouse and then back to the chapel to get married. It's a great experience and wouldn't have done it any other way. Good Luck Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
I got pulled over on the PA Turnpike over the weekend for speeding (81 in a 65) , When I was asked for my DL, insurance, registration, I realized I didn't have the insurance card with me. Luckily he gave me a warning for the speeding and just had to get a local cop to sign off that I had insurance when I got home. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Tahiti is great. I got to spend 5 days there about 10 yrs ago, beautiful black sand beaches lots of little villages to explore and shop in, if your into that kind of thing. I was in a tour group so I don't know the the cost of it but we stayed at the Hyatt Regency just above the beach. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

Everybody seems to think it's either your SO or skydiving. Why not enjoy both? You just have to make time for both. I was doing AFF when I met my wife and she was always scared when I went to jump, I bought her a tandem and she was still nervous but it hooked her. Now she is working towards getting her A and trying to catch up with me in jump #'s Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3

This is too my beautiful bride who posted on this thread, and you know who you are. The only balls you are allowed to look at are mine.

Jeffrey, apparently you managed to strike up his jealousy gene and it worked in my favor. Looks like that means you'll be the one manning the video camera now By the way, you are right, I really was missing out. And he's happy that I just got out of the shower so he didn't have to pick grit out from between his teeth, I'm almost always barefoot and spent yesterday playing in mud every chance I could get since we took the jeep off-roading all day. Soo, you keep right on writing these fantasies because your tastes are very similar to mine, you're just more elequant. Who knows, maybe you'll get your chance yet.....

Do you like Corned Beef and Cabbage?
skydivingchad replied to peacefuljeffrey's topic in The Bonfire
Oooh, I love corned beef and cabbage. My husband too, so guess that is two votes emphatically for. Nothing better. Horrible as crap for you dietarily, but who the fuck cares, it tastes so good!! Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 -
Works for me Saves me from making him read your post. Oh, wait, he's reading over my shoulder. Shit, I'm caught. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess now we have to invite him to fly video on our exxxploits! Hey, ever had your toes sucked? That's kinky!... Blue skies, *** (sorry, signed in under his name again, too lazy at 6am to deal with switching ) But he is into photography, typically he takes lots of pics of bug sex, so I can probably convince him that this is only a variation on his favorite theme. Haven't had my toes sucked, but I think just about every other body part has been.. so guess you'll have to be the first, eh? Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3
