That's a pretty harsh analysis. How do you feel about Columbus Day? Owned by Remi #?

I figured it was a joke...you know I never freefly Thanks to everyone for taking the time to explain. I hadn't been looking at the big picture (as usual) Owned by Remi #?

I’ve been taught this method for floaters leaving a side door aircraft and I’ve never given it a second thought until now: Rear float just drops off the side and presents Center float pushes out a body length and presents to give the rear float clean air Front float pushes out 2 body lengths to give the center and rear clean air. Is this standard practice? If it is, then wouldn’t it make more sense if the front / rear floaters reversed their roles? My reasoning is that the front floater is already doing a more difficult job by virtue of taking most of the prop blast and probably having to look back at the center to see the count. The rear floater has a clear view of the count as is protected from the prop blast. Seems to me it would be easier to have the rear float push out the farthest on “go” while the front just drop off the side as the center pushes out. Owned by Remi #?

You don't have to get water training only because you want a B license. If you can do water jumps with an A, and you want to do them, then common sense dictates that you should go get the training first, right? Owned by Remi #?

I'm banging my head on the wall trying to figure out how to strip the audio track from an avi file using Avid. Is it even possible? Any help is greatly appreciated. Owned by Remi #?

Oh Well... my answer was intended to sound light-hearted. I guess I didn't use enough smileys. Spokesperson? Hell, no. It's not my turn yet. You are welcome to have the word. It wasn't appropriated, you gave it away. The term geycat was bastardized into "gay" by straight folk. Feel free to try to educate everyone. Write to your representives. Or better yet..petition for a constitutional amendment defining "gay" as a happy heterosexual.. Owned by Remi #?

Why haven't you gotten your B license?

Never saw the point in spending the 20 bucks when it was so easy to just go straight for the C in a pretty short amount of time. Owned by Remi #? -
Awww......shaddup. Nobody highjacked the word "gay" The use of the word in modern culture started as a shortened version of the slang word "geycat" as long ago as the late 1800's The was no MILITANT HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA back then. Too many cowboys Owned by Remi #?

For that technical answer, I'll defer to people who have way more experience. I'm not even dreaming of being a rigger.. I've just read about it. Owned by Remi #?

It's possible to rig an AAD to deploy a main also. Owned by Remi #?

Nah, no need for a lock. I think it ended with a least managable karma loss/gain and a little humor. I hope everyone else is using their "real" identity to post, though. The annoyance level may have risen to the point that serving federal time was looming Owned by Remi #?

Well... my kids call me "mom", but that doesn't seem all that appropriate for you. You've made some good points in your PMs. I jumped the gun and I'm sorry I butted in. Not my business. Not my argument. I've had a few beers and I can still type. Bad combination. Throw rocks if you've never been there Owned by Remi #?

LOL. I'm not sure. I don't have my posts-to-stalking-ratio calculator handy. Dad? Now that's a first. I've been called a lot of shit but "dad" is really a first. Owned by Remi #?

I have zero investment in whatever argument is going on here so I'm going to get the hell out of it after saying this: I know it's tough to ignore someone who's rubbing you the wrong way, but you have to learn to do it. It's one thing to follow and post to threads that appeal to your ideals and another to follow a "poster" for the sake of argument no matter what they say. You'll only dig a hole taking that path Owned by Remi #?
