It's called finger-trapping. It's really not that hard. And if you have some thin wire and an old bic pen you can tear apart, it wouldn't be hard to make. I don't know that a rigger would charge anything, I wouldn't. I'd teach you how to do it yourself, so then you'd know. Always have a rigger check it if you do it on your own though.

Please tell me those two know eachother. ...And aren't brother and sister!

Blair My Mom calls me "Kimberly Blair" when she's mad at me.

For me...usually the size of the student. If they're as tall as or shorter than me...stand up. If taller, I'd be hanging off their back...so I have them sit down. Some TI's believe all to stand is most safe. Some TI's believe all to sit is most safe. Me? 550+ tandems and I still haven't decided. I mix and haven't hurt anyone yet and hope to never hurt anyone.

Which is needed for an HC32?

Duh it's a mouse!

Yes...yes it is.

Yeah mine took like 13 or 14 weeks. Once you get it you'll be happy though.

Sounds like Wright Brothers skydiving in Oregon!

That's how I feel! I've totally been trying to not do stuff lately but it's hard. Today the landing area grass was sooo long that finally the DZO paid me to do it!

I guess his work is more airport politic shit right now. Anyone know a good hit-man? I think that would solve all my problems! The airport manager has nothing better to do than pick on us!

Sweet!

Will everyone that picked the 2nd option please come work at my DZ!

I was at the DZ earlier. But when the phone kept ringing off the hook and I was packing a reserve and KNEW the DZO was in his office, I just left. And when I say in his office what I really mean is playing free cell.

OK...so at my DZ we don't have any full time person to keep the place clean, answer phones, and so on. On the weekends we have a manifestor, but honestly this person isn't very sharp and is quite possibly the most lazy person I've met. This person can't even put loads together right. Anyway, during the week, myself, being the only real full time person and another dude keep the place clean, answer phones, mow, schedule appointments, etc... We get paid NOTHING for our hard work. Both of us hate working in filth so would rather do the work than be slobs. The DZO is more into his other hobbies than skydiving, doesn't tell us we need to keep the place up, but doesn't pay anyone else to do it either. But...lately when we don't "help out" he freaks out. None of the other people that work at my DZ help out in any way. One of the pilots will answer the phone, but everyone else is just as bad as the owner and most the time won't even clean up after themselves (leave jumpsuits out, rigs lying all over, trash). So basically the DZO wants everything to be done for him... Is there a "proper" way to approach him and say I'm sick of it (it's been 3 years like this) or should I just leave? Are other DZ's like this...or is there somebody there paid to be the housekeeper? I should add I don't mind helping out at all. But when a majority doesn't help out I do mind. Also, days when I could be making money rigging or something I get stuck answering phones all day, so that's not cool.

Working...

Use a wash cloth! Then throw it away of course. Or just do the deed then take a shower!

My name is Kimberly...my middle name is Blair and my number in sports from elementary thru college was 13.

Wow that's soooo cool! Hehe I don't know where you lived before. Windows are GREAT! Except when they're too big and scary at night. Hey...I'm gonna pass you in jumps! Your still way better at FFing than I'll ever be! Too bad 530+ of my jumps are tandems...not so great for the FF skills.

I hate lazy people!

:10:0 Kinda a weird weekend with weird weather.

Hmmm....what is that?

Ok so probably that it's poking out too far so the top yoke part of the bag isn't completely concealing it? Then on page 56 the yoke is covering the bridle...in Hooks example it's not.
