    If you specify what version you have, Cypres 1 or 2, perhaps someone here can scan a copy of theirs and send it to you via email. I've got a 2 and will be glad to do it, if that's what you need.

    I use to think I was brilliant... now I confess to "Moments of Brilliance" "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    You can see it in their eyes... When they are laying on your chest purring.... They're really just waiting for your chest to stop going up and down so they'll know you are dead! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    With the international flavour of this forum I would like to suggest that a change should be implemented in the dropzone listings. Right now each listing has "USPA Membership:" and the answers are Required or Not Required In countries other than the USA, this field should relate to the country in which the dropzone is located. By example at any of the dropzones I frequent in Alberta, Canada a USPA membership is not required, but a CSPA membership is. The database could be updated so that when the dropzone's country is selected, the initials for the national organization could be selected to reflect something other than USPA for non-US dropzones. Just an idea... "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I'll be there and jumping!!! Last year was a bit of a bust for me as I had damaged my leg the day just before the boogie and it was swollen badly. I got back to Canada and my doctor poked and proded the knee, asking me if it hurt (which it didn't) and muttering "lucky bugger". At the end of the examination he told me get back jumping, just take it easy, the swelling would go away. So I did, and it did. I should try get a copy of the song book in advance so I can be ready for the men's chorus! Last year there was one other Barbershop singer there... maybe this year we'll find more! If the magic works, my son will be off student status and able to make it down too! He got 8 jumps in before the end of the season in Alberta. He'll be 17 next summer... oh to be young again... Orange girls... Ian "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Which is worse?

    Bitching and Nagging are not good, where as silence is not so bad.... remember that old song "Silence is Golden"

    "The mother said she taught him how to drive by letting him sit on her lap and steer." I wonder how she managed that with the him safely sitting in a child car seat where she, as a responsible person, would of course make sure he is at all times. Jeez!!! some people are stupid!!! This child is destined to win a Darwin Award. His mother already has the stupid gene and no doubt passed it along. Some people should not procreate. Edited to add: Too bad a license is required to drive and not to procreate! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I think your best bet it to send a description of the problem and a request for the older updater to Alti-2 They will be able to best help you fix your problem. lara@alti-2.com is VERY helpful.

    My opinion, BUT there are others that know more... Remember the saying that starts "If in doubt..."? Seems like it applies here. I would open it up and repack the whole thing. Even if there is a way to "fix" it without a complete repack, you don't need this on your mind during your next jump.

    Yes I've seen it and here's the order form for something similar. http://gocrazyman.com/images/GCcrw11-22-04.pdf They refer to it as a CRW suit but why not fly it? The makers at GoCrazy will customize anything! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Listen to Jeanne on this one. I saw this bite a young sys admin badly, they didn't didn't prepare and when they took down that old NT PDC the defication hit the rotating oscillator "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Definitely true, been there done that. Once, a long long time ago (25 years maybe) I was in this situation and a skydiving buddy of mine didn't understand why I was going to break off the relationship this chick. Long hair, great figure, liked to have fun.... Then he spent 30 minutes trying to have a conversation with her. Yep, good looking but STUPID!

    NAS works well. the ML 380 is typically a good machine, dump NT, upgrade the OS and that thing should still provide great utility. Even if just as a test bed or other play thing for the IT department. Geeks need to have fun too! It gets very tiring having to be 100% right all the time!

    Well if I could work it so that Texas got lousy jumping weather but Alberta got great jumping weather, I do it at a moments notice. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    A very good point... I was 7 years old and I believe that we had about 8 TV channels, but of course they were only B/W. I really liked Sky King and of course Super Man. My mom even made me a red cape! But I don't have any information in regard to the fatality in 1963. I too have managed, barely, to keep the topic of this thread on course with the original post "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    You should probably update to the latest softwre 2.3.1 Here's the version history http://www.alti-2.com/Neptune_Owners_Pages/neptune_version_history.htm Here's where to get the software http://www.alti-2.com/Neptune_Owners_Pages/neptune_updater.htm "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    that doesn't make sense to me as that would mean I should be goofy foot and I am not. In fact, I find it harder to board with my dominate foot forward. Not that it matters much....

    I would have Ketchup. Primarily because it is a vegetable as stated by President Reagan. (I think it was in 1981 so that the hot lunch program would include a vegetable) I and, by the way, every botanist thought it was a fruit, but nope, its a vegetable because he said it was. So that the condiment I chose because I want to make sure I am eating my vegetables! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    My older brother had a 1969 MG Midget. I spent more time pushing it than riding in it. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    have the person stand still and with one hand push them back gently, which foot moves goes to the front of the board and is your dominate foot. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    I tend to agree, I sent a message asking for make/model. size and serial number for each of the main, reserve and harness/container and got back the answer... "the size it's a 190 ", that all I got. I have since sent a reply asking for the additonal details again.
