  1. Depends on your hearing. I've heard my wrist mount Neptune go off on a Birdman jump before. Then again, mine does seem to be a lot louder than someone elses Neptune I've listend to. *shrug* Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  2. Besides what everyone else has added, SkymonkeyONE did (may still be) happen to be a MFFI (Military Freefall Instructor). Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  3. Good answer, Piisfish. If it happened once, but they didn't do it on subsequent dives, I'd write it off after talking with them about it. If it happened again after already talking to them, friend or not, it's time for some wall-to-wall counseling. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  4. And if you understand and accept that level of risk then to hell with anyone that says you shouldn't be jumping. Butt-slides are tricky landings to begin with, but you've definitely got the jump experience to pull them off.
  5. Works for me, too. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  6. Who are you and what have you done with Rev?! See you at Rantoul, slacker! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  7. Living will? Check. As for me, I like to play it safe and have a reserve that's larger than my main. I know, I know...I like to defy trends. My reserve is a 210 and I think I'd do pretty well under it as I'm only loading it around 1.25. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  8. We both know I think Habanero Grill is the superior burrito, but I still wouldn't kick Freebird's outta' bed. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  9. Wrong link again, . That link is to the Rythmic Vol 3.
  10. Happy birthday, Portable Paige!!! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  11. Do a search on "Lutz". Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  12. It's not on the menu here either, but when I've asked for it at two local restaurants they've always made it for me. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Fusion!

    It's rediculously expensive to do it that way. Think on the order of millions of dollars a gram. Also, the energy needed to create it would be more than you'd get out of it. Here's a really good article on the subject... http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/helium3_000630.html Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  14. I still have my penguin noodle. We shall reunite them in just a few short months. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  15. I still have my orange vest! Now get that video posted!!! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  16. R O W R !!!! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  17. Agreed. Subway can't touch the Chicken Carbanara sub at Quizzno's. And their chicken ceasar salad is like manna from heaven. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Fusion!

    It's a great achievement, but the reality is that this version of it requires gobs more energy put in than it give out. Also, it give off very low energy (~1E-8 jules). However, it does have possible applications in certain areas such as thrust for small space probes and there are some other industries looking into it as well. I'd love to see true Helium-3 fusion reactors working in my lifetime, but we still have to get to the moon to mine the Helium-3. From what I remember, a few Kg of HE-3 will power NYC nicely for several weeks, with water being the only byproduct given off.
  19. I think Paul Fayard at Carolina Sky Sports might own just a few more planes than Skydive Arizona. They majority of his fleet is leased out though. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  20. I just got my Cypres back from it's 4-year but I'm not opening my reserve to put it back in until the reserve is due. I have been jumping without it and it hasn't changed my skydiving at all. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  21. Yeah, but for 2-3 days worth of looking around, we covered a lot! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  22. Mama Desta's ZilZil tibs are indeed quite sexy. Really good selection of legumes there, too.
  23. I'm all about some enchilada's with fish sauce. Or some hoisin sauce on my refried beans. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  24. I doubt there's one in Rantoul, but I'll bet we can find a Pho restaurant with some excellent spring rolls in Champaign!!! Hmm...a trip to SDC...I'll have to see what I can swing. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  25. Nope, I'm Messican, but I can't speak spanish. I've been thoroughly corrupted by Whitey. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
