  1. I know the book says left, right. And also to place the lines in the bottom but, several people I know do it differant. When I said to put the lines toward your back it was in a way that the bag would not roll at all durring deployment. It would just come strait out.
  2. When closing the container do you go bottom top left right or bottom top right left. I've been told both ways and have closed and jumped it both ways and see no difference. Also do you put the bag in with the lines toward the bottom of the container, or do you have them up against your back. I've also done both and felt no difference on opening. It seems like every person I ask tells me something different so what do you all think. Thanks, Marc
  3. Just one for me. A solo on Friday afternoon. Had to bale hay the rest of the weekend, got to pay for the jumps somehow.
  4. In response to a dumb persons dumb kid. You plant potatos you get potatos. He's dumber than a stump. That aint worth a shit. It's colder than a witches tit. It's hotter than a skunk. Shut up tighter than a nuns cunt. I could go on for an hour but I'll stop there.
  5. Growing up as a kid I never realised how great a man he was. He was just the president, someone who was on T.V. every night. As I got older and understood more I realised I had witnessed a lot of history. He was totaly responsible for the downfall of the Soviat Union, and ended the cold war. Bomb shelters and books about nucler survival are a part of our past. One thing that ment alot to our family was that he un did the massive damage that Carter did to us farmers. With one foul swoop Carter sent rural America into a tail spin by puting an embargo on grain trade with the Soviats. At the time the U.S. had 70% of the Soviat grain market. Farmers here were doing good, every one was happy. Carter fucked that all up. As a kid I wasn't old enough to understand why. I just knew things went to hell in a hurry and a lot of people we knew and were friends with had to sell out and do something else. It caused the downfall of the number 4 and 5 corperations in the nation and cost over 250,000 American jobs. Reagan ended the embargo almost right away, and put in place the most costly farm program ever to help bail out agriculture, but nothing could totaly undo the damage Carter did. He also was a man of character. He wasn't mean or nasty to other people. He was a polition in the true sense of the word as he played both sides of the isle to get what he thought was best for the nation. And above all else he loved this nation more than anything else, and always did what he thought was in it's best interest.
  6. Ethonal The studies that say ethonal is in efficient are very old. New studies by USDA and Michigan State show a net gain in energy of almost 30%. It's actualy a form of solar energy as the corn (or what ever grain is used) takes the energy from the sun and converts it to carbon. Bio diesel is actualy a more powerfull fuel than regular diesel. It also has a greater lubricating property than diesel so engins last longer when using it.
  7. Just boil it. It's to much work to try to grill it.
  8. Quit complaning. Last week I spent almost 70 hours planting corn. The 90 acres of hay I've got to bale is what makes me tired.
  9. I had to vote for Dunken Donuts. Not only are they far better than KK's but, they are made from flour from a mill I sell wheat to. In other words your purchase of Dunken Donuts helps to keep me jumping.
  10. WOW! What a truck. Just go to Tractor Supply or somewhere like that and get a rubber bed mat. I've owned several trucks over the years and always had one and never had any rust underneeth. Which is quite amasing since they have all been worked hard and put up wet. What I like about the mats are you can take them out to cleen, there cheep, and are rather skid resistant.
  11. Don't bang the fruit up or it will bruse very easily. Find a nice clean pail and put a hook on the handle so you can hang it from the ladder rungs while picking.
  12. Congrats on your jump. I must have seen you there but I never got the chance to meet you, maybe next time. I did see your video though, I remember seeing Jimmy T's line twists and saw the off landing. Hang in there, AFF can go slow but you will make it.
  13. Thanks. I wasn't this happy when I got my drivers license.
  14. High. Got my A. Low. It's raining again, and I'm so behind on farm work.
  15. Snowmobiling and tractor pulling. I have to face it I like things that make noise and have an engine.
  16. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I think I'm finally starting to get this skydiving thing.
  17. 0:4:I lost count! Very nice weather jumping on Sunday and to top it all off I got my A license. YAHOO!
  18. Now I remember why I didn't like school. It hurts just to think about it.
  19. I've only had it once, and then not real bad. I can practicly roll around in it and not be affected. That said I've always been told that if you think you've been in contact with it wash the affected area right away with gasoline. This cuts the oil and dries the skin. My uncle and cousins swear by it, and it seems to be a common thing for many people I know to do.
  20. 0-2-1 Two jumps both on my new to me rig, thats what the beer is for. Had to wait till clouds left but was nice afterward.
  21. I think I'd have steped on it, and let her fly. I know I watched to much of the Dukes as a kid. Every Friday night at 8:00 I knew where I'd be. My uncle had the horn on his van. I think he was the only adult in the world to like the show.
  22. I just renewed mine last week. I had to go to the D.M.V. at the county courthouse. I could have renewed by mail but, I have to had an eye exam. So I just went to the office and read off the eye chart. I also changed my photo, I still had the same one I did when I was in High School.
  23. 0: 1 :2 The weather finaly broke here and I got to jump. Just a recurency but hey it's still a jump. The beer is left over from last year when I had my first off landing and jumped my first pack job.
  24. Don't feal bad April has sucked here too.
  25. Wait till winter and go out and wet his windshield, then put newspaper on it. It will freez on as tight as wallpaper. Use limburger cheese on the exaust pipe, it smells like cow shit when it gets hot and lasts for weeks. Get a dead skunk and tie it to the underside of his car. Put any dead animal near his car, in the sun on a hot day. Wait till it's ready to pop open so it does and he either has to move it or step in it to get in. Jack up the car and set it on blocks of wood so when he goes to leave he just spinns his wheels.
