That's nothing the old Mark 1, Mod 0 eyeball can't do. Owned by Remi #?

Too high on final - what are you going to do?
labrys replied to strop45's topic in Safety and Training
If you S turn to try and reach the target, because you are too high, you endanger parachutists behind you. Seriously. It sucks to have someone darting around in front of you when you're on final. It sucks a lot. It isn't the "inconvenience" it's the danger. Owned by Remi #? -
I'm guilty of that. I learned to jump at an "eat the carrot" DZ and the first time I jumped at a DZ with a tetrahedron I knew what I was supposed to do... then I did the opposite anyway. I broke my foot AND got grounded. Felt like I lucked out on both counts. Owned by Remi #?

That's really little bacon. I have to fight to keep mine in the pan after it's cooked. Owned by Remi #?

I like to run my bacon down... and cook it before it's dead. The fresher the better. On a good day I can herd my bacon through a wheat crop, tomato field, and lettuce patch and count on all those crops panicking and producing the ultimate fresh BLT. Then I wake up and go to Arbies Owned by Remi #?

Umm.... since Honduras has a population of about 7.5 million I'm going to call bullshit on that stat. Owned by Remi #?

The price of tea in China has a direct influence on the price of socks in China..... which has a direct influence on the price of Tevas made in China..... And everyone knows that only gay Chinese penguins work in Chinese sock / Teva factories. Owned by Remi #?

An Otter door is really big. Focusing them on being in a "lunge" position might work better than being in a "squat" Owned by Remi #?

Don't fuck up the discussion by introducing common sense, pops.....sheesh.... Owned by Remi #?

Uh huh.... it's kinda like he suggested people occasionally fuck up by accident. We all know that NEVER happens, eh? No one EVER misroutes a chest strap. No one EVER forgets leg straps. No one EVER forgets to don a rig. No one EVER busts a stop sign..... No one ever makes a mistake.... Owned by Remi #?

Yes and no... It's directed at me and you and anyone else and everyone else. You didn't post anything that was a direct link if that's what you're asking. Owned by Remi #?

If I never accidentally run a stop sign or red light, I minimize my risk of having a MVA. If I never get distracted and turn into an intersection without checking traffic I also minimize that risk.. The thing is that.... EVERY experienced driver has made those mistakes. Most of the time those mistakes result in the passenger yelling "stop, dude.... red light" or the driver realizing they just fucked up, or another driver blaring a horn to focus your attention....right? If you've NEVER made a mistake driving a vehicle, you will. If you think you'll NEVER make a mistake skydiving you're naive. Focus more on realizing and preparing that you WILL fuck up and be prepared to be dynamic. Owned by Remi #?

I'm confused.... why would signing up to donate EVER cost money? And the site is insisting I pay... "The promo code entered below is invalid -- but patients still need your help! You can join the Registry by using a credit card to pay the $52 needed to cover tissue typing costs. Clear the Promo Code field to continue." Sorry... but this smells phishy. Owned by Remi #?

I spend about 16 hours a day online. There is no such thing as "too much". And...I wouldn't give a rat's ass if my email and social networking disappeared forever. I would find other ways to play with bits regardless of anyone else being able to participate. Owned by Remi #?

I guess that explains everything. Owned by Remi #?

Well WTF.... it turns out that in some cases (and probably more than others) a little grease on the elbow makes more of an impression than a little latex and lube next to the water cooler. Owned by Remi #?

Oh wait... maybe I should just focus on doing a good job.... Owned by Remi #?

This is a cool idea born from trouble...... I'm gay... I'm not having a parade every time I go to work... Everyone I work with has an idea... so all I have to do is act 15% straighter and I'm gonna be CIO. Owned by Remi #?
