I'm in on this one. Every time I hear "Your such a nice guy Jack". I always answer with, nah, I'm a fuckin pig honey, just like the next guy. I just have a little manners. LOL How bout a shot with that shiner??? j It's a gas, gas, gas...

I caught this one last nite as well. Lying f#$kers, I was having the same reaction. Hell, his PLF was so damn perfect you'd of thought it was a training video. I was amazed at how he managed to lay it over. Also? The comment about him coming in to fast? Idiots, he was open completely high enough, his descent rate was fairly normal. Ignorant ass show. Try to sensationallize something that really wasn't that sensational to begin with. Kudos to whomever it was, other than hesiating a little long before cutting away and deploying, they did a fine job. REAL TV is just crap. j It's a gas, gas, gas...

I'm 1 point over the maximum. My exit weight out the door with equip is approx 212. I'm flying a 190 Sq Ft Canopy... I'm loading it at 1.1 and I'm right at 63 jumps right now. I feel fine with it, no problems to report, however, I won't downsize for a considerable time. I like the canopy and have no need to go smaller for quite a while. I would like to go elliptical before going small, in that vein, has anyone heard the "smart" path to that? I figure instead of downsizing to a 170 when the time comes, I'd like to go to an elliptical, say 170 or 190 Elliptical? Do they make them that large? peace, jjf P.S. I've read alot of Germaines stuff, hoping to get his book for christmas. Definitly a great teacher. It's a gas, gas, gas...

ROFLMAO I THINK I JUST PISSED MY PANTS OMG LOL!!!!!!! It's a gas, gas, gas...

ROFLMAO Do it again!!! AND BRING THAT TONGUE OVER HERE!!!! It's a gas, gas, gas...

Truly, and? I was being a prick. I was irritated with PCCoder's comment when I read it. Though, my reaction to it was equally ignorant. I do see the need for this thread big time. I rely on everyones experience here and the things they've learned. As I know I'll make alot of mistakes on my own, I am trying desperately not to make all of them. Information like this is key to that. j It's a gas, gas, gas...

No, not at all. Feel free, I do stupid shit every day. Which was the point of this entire thread, too which, you jumped in this thread, and remarked was "stupid". I just was dumbfounded when I read through this thread, and saw what your comment was, then found out you biffed. Blew my mind, that's all. You have to admit, your comment, made absolutely no sense. It's a gas, gas, gas...

I've got to jump in here.... Every time, I read something like this, I have an urge to do a little research. I pull up your (PCCoder) profile, and serach posted threads, and find your latest as???? Now, I'm not trying to stir the shit here, I just have to ask, do you still think reading these posts belongs in "Stupid Things I have Done"???? A little freaked out right now, as to both reading through this entire thread (couldn't help myself when I started, couldn't stop), then finding your little comment above, then, finding out what the latest news is on you??? Any correlation? jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

ROFLMAO Damn Ron, this explains alot. Now I know why your such a safety freak. It's a wonder you didn't take yourself out of the game early on. Glad your around to beat on us.

Wow, that definitly makes it hard to determine. It would be nice to hear from Airtec on how a postmortem is done on these things. I mean, it would make sense for it to shutdown if it failed, and then boot back up in an auxillary mode, i.e. refuse to provide service, which would indicate it had failed. However, if all one needs to do to reactivate the device is boot it back up, then, well, that's not only useless, but I would think dangerous as well... Anyone on the board from Airtec that we could ask? j It's a gas, gas, gas...

Ditto. I've done a fair amount of high speed blading, even though, watching them catch air like that and touch down, all I can think is OWWWWWWW when it doesn't go well. Loss of skin is highly likely. It's a gas, gas, gas...

Dave, I saw an Orthopedic surgeon in September. The ZPO I have about ripped my neck off with a hard opening. Result? Compressed c3-c4, pinched nerve, muscle spasms, the whole nine yards. Well, to make a long story short? He recommended cortisone injection to reduce the swelling of the compressed disk. I balked, I didn't want to become a cortisone junkie and have to get those shots every couple months. A friends Ortho had recommended a simple traction device to him previously, he still had it, and I tried it. It fits over the door jamb and does an incredible job of stretching the spine, for me it worked wonders. I actually caught my freaking kitchen on fire because of the drug cocktails I was taking because of the intense pain... I'm not good with dope, blew me away. Cool thing was, the traction device, worked well. The pain went away, and I regained almost 100% feeling in my thumb (left hand) and no more shooting pain in my left leg... Device is simple, counterweight is a water bag with measuring units on it for pounds, tied to a rope, goes through a couple pulleys and down to a head strap. You sit in a chair every day for x amount of time (until you just can't take it any more) and, in a couple weeks (probably just depends on the extent of the injury) your feeling good. Now, of course, I'm tossing out alot here, assuming this has anything to do with compression or a pinched nerve, but? What the hell. Good Luck, I know the spasm shit is terribly painful, I didn't sleep for three freaking weeks, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Hey Michael, I was just thinking, reading this post, I've heard alot about "saves" with Cypres, and they have a hell of a record, great device. However, in the interest of pure numbers, have there been many go in with working Cypres that haven't fired??? Any numbers on these kinds of failures? I'm assuming this hasn't happened very often. Typically, when I hear of someone going in, and no reserve is deployed, there seems to be no AAD installed either. Anyway, just curious, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Great stuff!!! I just showed the boy, were stoked, just trying to figure out where around here, and what method, InLine, downhill? whatever, looks incredibly cool!!!! jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

I've felt that way quite alot this year. I look at Eric and it just amazes me that he is sitting beside me, either on the way to the grocery store, or wherever... Whenever I hear of a parent that lost a child to suicide, and didn't get to them in time to save them, I wonder what happened that I did? It blows your mind. I don't know, but I think, were supposed to learn something, no matter what "end" of the deal were on, or the outcome. It's just odd when something so life changing occurrs. I always fear that I won't learn what I'm supposed to. I know this, at the most simplest form, you recognize something, so? Roll with it. If you didn't die, then do something about it, make a difference somewhere, somehow... THat's my thought anyway. peace, jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Tabbed Interface kicks ass. Just added my dz discussion site.... Looks way cool. Funny too, I launched an instance of IE on accident, and the moment it loaded, a pop up loaded as well. Talk about highly irritating. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Sounds fab to me. Spybot did a fine job cleaning up my registry, and I'm only getting a few now, but, I figure, what the hell, with the references to firefox, I'm going to give it a shot. Nothing to lose. THanks Everyone for chiming in here, the popups are really pissing me off. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Will do! Haven't used Mozilla in a long long time, but if it alleviates some of the bullshit, then it's worth a shot. THanks!!!! jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

ROFLMAO I'm not looking at the smiley faces and mortgage rates, I'm trying to close the damn things as fast as they come up!!!! will do, great advice, I'm loading spybot right now, and will move forward with some of the other product suggestions... now, back to surfing porn. It's a gas, gas, gas...

ROFLMAO That's what I tell people that are receiving shitloads of spam... It's not about Porn, it's about fucking Smiley Faces, Ringtones, Mortgages, Drugs... Rotten Ignorant bastards are sucking up major cpu time!!!! jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Ok All.... I've been a techie for years, done pretty much everything over time... Now, I haven't done any research, and I'm lazy, really don't wanna. So, could you all help me out and give me suggestions on this problem??? I've got the google search bar, great fun, seemed to block a few in the beginning... Now it's gotten so F#$KING Bad that I can't just surf and get the inf I want. PopUP's every 30 seconds!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get me out of POP UP HELL!!!!! I would love to round up the ignorant fucks that started this shit, and the spammers, which I'm sure are one and the same (too which I have some experience blocking) and line them all up against a concrete wall and blow their fucking brains out. Ahhh, breathe in the good air, force out the bad.... I HATE POPUPS!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Ah Hell JP, I can always rely on you for sound advice. I'll remember to flatten out nice and give it my best and grip the hell out of the grass! jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

How bout the fact that you die before you hit the ground? That's my favorite. It's a gas, gas, gas...
