  1. You don't have to defrost a chicken breast to saute it. Throw the sucker fully frozen in a pan on medium heat with a little oil and garlic and in 5 minutes it's thawed. 10 more minutes and it's a tasty treat. Owned by Remi #?
  2. IIRC, a student Cypres will activate at either 750 or 1000 feet depending on rate of descent. Edit: Found what I was thinking of on SSKs website: Owned by Remi #?
  3. I haven't seen the Mirage DRX yet but I have a Skyhook and know that it doesn't require any modification of EPs. There's no race. Owned by Remi #?
  4. An AAD doesn't deploy a reserve, it cuts a closing loop. After the closing loop is cut, the rest of the reserve deployment sequence has to go right and sometimes it doesn't. As for your question about low openings: A "perfect" AAD fire and reserve deployment is normally under 1000 feet so I guess I don't understand your question well. Owned by Remi #?
  5. ...roof. Trying to clear icicles that were threatening to tear down the phone wires. Hey... it was falling and it was free. And it was good luck that there was a few feet of snow on the ground. Owned by Remi #?

    Wow. I don't think anyone will top those. Owned by Remi #?
  7. That strikes me as weird. In another post this guy said he was in his mid twenties. Divisions are lead by Major Generals, at least in the Army. They're huge. It doesn't add up.... maybe I'm confusing something... but I don't think I am. Owned by Remi #?
  8. WTF, Over? I've never seen a more blatant example of taking a quote out of context than this one. Owned by Remi #?
  9. I'd be quite honored, dear... if you'd do it yourself. Why ask someone else to do it? Are you not capable? The elections are over. The elected are elected. The unelected are well.... unelected. Some are happy, some are not. Nothing posted here will change the results of the election. My opinion is meaningless to you. Your opinion is meaningless to me. Our opinions don't mean anything to anyone else. Meaningless. Nothing more or less. I'll wait for your new sig line but I won't hold my breath. Owned by Remi #?
  10. The discussion in here is meaningless. Owned by Remi #?
  11. I did 30 minutes in the tunnel to warm up before my coach course but I've always found that one of the more difficult skills to nail for coaching (IRL and in the course) is the exit... which you just can't practice in a tube. Students (and evaluators) do really funky, funny things when they exit. Staying tight and anticipating whats going to happen next is hard, particularly with free-flown exits. Owned by Remi #?
  12. Why not just give them a call and ask directly? 330-925-3483 And an edit: Did you just happen to stumble upon them coming home from grocery shopping? Got agenda? Owned by Remi #?
  13. I think it wears off when people feel comfortable exiting, freefalling, and flying a pattern with you. You aren't so much expected to be perfect at any of the above, but once you're competent you're not a newb any more. Owned by Remi #?
  14. I've had the same Hoover for 20 years. Vacuums are simple machines and don't have to cost a lot. Owned by Remi #?
  15. Uncool must be relative. At my DZ "public" gear checks are what the cool kids do Owned by Remi #?
  16. Shut the fuck up and jump :-) Don't forget your leg straps, ummm k? And hey.... Give your chest strap a good, solid tug If you feel the need to ask if your downsizing progression is too aggressive here.... face it....you aren't ready to downsize. If you never make mistakes, rock on... just don't never make mistakes on a load I'm on Owned by Remi #?
  17. Yeah, I can and I have. Many times. Owned by Remi #?
  18. If you place enough importance on this forum that you can denounce it because the politics expressed are not yours.... well.................... good luck IRL Owned by Remi #?
  19. I am happy today also. Owned by Remi #?
  20. Nope.... and seems like you better duck 'cause there's a fast "point" screaming just over the top of your head. Owned by Remi #?
  21. Naive huh? Owned by Remi #?
  22. I enjoyed my "Lick Bush in 2000" bumper sticker for fewer than 24 hours. My boss put the hammer down about displaying "borderline offensive" political stickers to clients. Owned by Remi #?
  23. I was saving that wine for a toast, not to spew on my monitor. Owned by Remi #?
