  1. I don't post in Bonfire much so I hope this is not a report. A friend sent me this and I laughed. Normally its the voices telling me to kill things that look like this! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  2. I know others have already said so, but either The Farm or Thomaston will do. And you know you can tell skyride to go to hell. Isn't Skydive Altanta different than Atlanta Skydiving Center, which I understand is the home of those bastards that run Skyride? http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/North_America/United_States/Georgia/index.html Edit to add: OOPs my bad. Skydive Altanta is at Thomaston. Sorry "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  4. I've used a Neptune for 3 seasons now. I bought it while visiting my rigger/dealer and after asking about audibles he handed me two to play with, but no manuals. It was clear that the Neptune by Alti-2 was easier to run than the other brand. Coupling that fact with the reputation of Alti-2's other products, buying a Neptune was an easy decision to make. After 3 seasons what can I say about the Neptune? It's reliable, it does what they say it will do and it keeps improving. Most products you buy come with a standard set of features and that's it, nothing ever gets added. Not the Neptune. Alti-2 continues to improve the product and add functionality by releasing firmware upgrades which you can do yourself or get one of their many Field Representatives do, all for no cost. No cost for the firmware upgrade and no cost for the service provided applying the upgrade to your Neptune. Do I like my Neptune? You bet. Do I recommend Neptunes to others that are considering an audible? Absolutely.

  6. Where's the option - turn back time and not go in there in the first place? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  7. Sorry to hear about you family. You're right though... live everyday to the fullest, because anything can happen at any time. Nobody makes out of here alive. The reaper eventually gets us all.

  8. You're talking about The Gypsy Moths... maybe not Doris Day wasn't in The Gyspy Moths. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064397/ "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  9. I found interesting so I went looking and this might be it, but I'm not sure... http://www.oregonaero.com/p9091_2001.html#Mountaineering "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  10. So how do you feel about US businesses that accept CDN $ ? How about the ones that accept CDN $ at par to entice Canadians to spend the money at their businesses? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  11. Depends on what she proposed "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  12. Edited to add - Not directed at one in particular, just a general response. For those that voted NO I'd like to say thank you for always exchanging your US $ into foreign currency before visiting a foreign country. Of course if you voted NO and you've ever tried to spend your US $ in another country that would make you a hypocrite and that would be bad. I am always amazed at how many people try to spend US $ at Canadian stores, some quite distant from the border. Not saying that anyone who posts here does it. Of course I will admit to loving the ability to use CDN $ at par to ski in Whitefish, MO when they run a special, and I hear that TK Hayes sometimes runs a special where a $20 Canadian bill will buy a Canadian a jump in Zhills, thank goodness his roots are still Canadian. So here's a question for those that voted NO, what about businesses in the USA that accept CDN $? Is that Okay? Edit to add: Damn its been over 3 hours since I posted this, the number of NO votes has gone up and none of those people have responded to my question. I rarely post in SC... I feel so unwelcome "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  13. I've found dz.com to be a great source of information.
  14. I'm dieting so for dinner tonight... 6 egg white omelet with 8oz of tomatoes and onions cooked in a teflon skillet with Franks Hot sauce and lots of freshly ground black pepper to spice it up. Got protein, got vegetables, no carbs, no fats. Controlled portions and lots of water, NO booze "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  15. So I guess the solution is: If you have any questions about a pack job, open your canopy and re-pack it, you would have blown that 15 minutes shooting the shit with someone. Just have them there while you're re-packing and you can still have that same conversation. Of course, this applies not just to "did my canopy get wet and freeze into block" but to anytime you have a question. I've re-packed a few times just to remove any question about a pack job, perhaps done by me or people that have packed for me, and the exercise didn't kill me. Blue ones!

  16. This is the statement that, in my judgement, shows your lack of understanding about canopy flying the best. With regard to flying a 120 you state "Its like flying a 170 for god's sake." Sorry this is simply untrue. BSBD Edit to add; Read some of this http://www.dropzone.com/fatalities/ experienced jumpers on smaller canopies die a lot. Inexperienced jumpers should not be jumping smaller canopies "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  17. Just in case you're not joking.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratosphere my comeback: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratosphere_Las_Vegas Michel Fournier is more likely to make it your Stratosphere "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

    Aunt OOPS just noticed this post and didn't read the other answers - I'm too late. BTW, From my time, mostly lurking in Bonfire, I don't think Lawrocket wouldn't use the other word. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  19. Record... shmmeckord... you're not so fast... I sunk out on you on the anvil load at LP. Now of course that was on my belly and I'm not stupid enough to challenge you head down! I've lost 50 lbs since last summer, soon I won't even qualify as an anvil with gear! Glad to hear from you Amazon!
