  1. Didn't you insure them? There are several places one can go to purchase lost/damaged UPS/Fed-Ex/DHL/ Railroad Items. If they bought it from there because a Tag Fell off then they own them. You where responsible for claiming the proper cost when you shipped them and insuring them for that cost. Not trying to be a hard ass but spending nearly 100k a year in shipping I have learned the hard way to make sure the declared value is ALWAYS right and the insurance is appropriate for the replacement value. If they stole it then thats different but UPS Liabillity ends with your decalared/Insured Value MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  4. ....1461 days ago I put the needle down and picked up the phone...... In that time I have lost jobs, found new ones.. Made many friends and sadly lost many of them to this disease.... I have become PART OF instead of A PART FROM society.. I am loved for who I am..not for what I have or can do for someone... I have jumped out of many different planes and HELICOPTERS! 393 TIMES! I have the most beautiful little girl in the world who loves me.... And I am going to have a SON!!!! And through it all I haven't had to get Loaded... Just for Today I never have to use again... Once again I am going to borrow Squeaks Sig Line.. MY LIFE ROCKS HOWS YOURS? MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  5. You are asbsolutly right Lisa..except the thread title is I think people missed what this was about completly and went off on their own little tangents. It wasn't about tracking or break off alti etc.... I would hope that everyone already knows what you stated. Plan the Dive and Dive the plan. and you should always break 1000-1500 feet above the highest puller so if she pulls at 3.5-4 5000 feet is where they should be breaking. That should be UNDERSTOOD.. See my other post for the rest.
  6. And that is what you should be doing instead of what you originaly posted. You said you "LOCK" On to your alti until pull time after you come out of your track. From what you oringally said If you are staring at your Alti then you are NOT doing this I would suggest getting used to glancing at your alti. to see where the needle is not staring at it. You should know where the numbers are. You learned how to tell time in kindergarten and the clock face has been the same for a very long time so the numbers will be right where they are suppossed to be MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  7. Your suggestion would be fine IF She where A) Jumping alone B) Jumping with a coach Her orignal question had to do with RW dives with multiple people and "LOCKING" on to Alti until pull time. The Big Sky theory is just that THEORY. If you track off from an RW dive at 6k and never look up/back/down/sideways after coming out of your track (at 5k) and lock onto your alti until you pull I don't want you in the sky with me. YOU ARE NOT AWARE. Shit happens and inattention (Yes STARING at your altimeter is inattention) will not only kill YOU but usually you take someone else with you.

  8. You asked the questions so here's my answer.. Excessive and Unsafe unless you are jumping alone. No way you can be AWARE staring at the shiney spinning thing Your procedure is safe for AFF but I wouldn't want you on a jump with me if your spending more time staring at your wrist instead of skydiving. Shit happens and if your staring at your wrist that will be the last thing you see when it hits the fan. Keep your jumps to solo's or two ways with a coach until your able to be AWARE throughout the ENTIRE skydive from take off to packing. Then why did you bother to come ask?

  12. ..You see a Cessna flying low over head during the week and think.. I would jump from that Altitude... Or you hear a plane look up and yell DOOR! (We have lots of cessna's flying over our buildings while we are at work) When asked what you want for Christmas/Birthday etc you just say call 800-skydive (locally 800 number for skydive Ogden) and put money on my books..

  13. Thanks Lisa.. It is pretty Obvious in all the pics he took. I guess he could be wrong but i'm convinced. I kept teasing her he was going to find another one hiding in there. Acme I didn't find out what my daughter was when I was married but the mother of my son was not about waiting..

  19. Wrapped a dollar around a firecracker Still to this day not sure WTF I was thinking. A Dollar was alot of money then considering a Large Slurpeee was .25. I tried to tape all the pieces back together but a MILLION littles pieces of paper don't go back together as easily as they blow apart Second~ Shot myself in the head with my BB Gun.. Coming home from a day of shootoing Birds in the Desert my little brother is holding my gun. We where walking by one of the neighbors and thought it would be funny to act like I was going to kill myself. Pumped up the gun stuck it to my temple and yelled Giood Bye Cruel World! When he turned to look I pulled the trigger. I guess i should have realized something was wrong when my brother started running right after I started pumping the gun and told him what I was doing. Seems he had loaded and already pumped it incase he saw something he wanted to shoot on the way home. He out ran the first couple shots but he had to come home sometime MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  21. I LOVE getting out at 3.5-4k We launch 3-4 ways all the time. My favorite thing to do is set up in the door and come out straight in a track and see how far I can get before 2K My Tracking definatly has improved because of this. I also love leaving in a back track and flipping off the camera guys Another really cool thing to do with a plane load of Tandems is open the door and push the guy out then shut the door real fast and turn around and say. "Thats what happens when you fart on the plane,are to cheap to pay what the rest of us have to pay etc etc etc" Their eyes get really big! So I guess they really arn't Hop and Pops for me just low altitude skydives since I usually take 10-14 second delays. I do make clear and pulls about every 4-5 just to stay current on emergencey procedures though. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
