Details,, Please.!! jmy

I Have NOT I might consider it but ONLY after watching "the operation " for a while AND certainly ONLY after someone who is MY weight TIMES 1.5 , minimum !!!goes just before me, and only IF it's OVER Water....( Hey you have to have some sorta " Plan B " right??) WOW that's ^^^^^ a LOT of "only Ifs"

re: the original post....If a kid has shoes, a shirt or TWO, maybe Gloves, when it's 20...then Not too much to be worried about. wearing any sort of Hat, would earn BIG bonus points

Once a skydiver crosses the threshold to the Local DZ..... Politics, JUST Like Egos, NEED to be "checked @ the door "' jmy

wouldn't they be Flying Upwind for jumprun?? and so any 'delay' would only put them Further upwind....not necessarily a Bad Thing.... everybody landed just fine.... so what is your point...???

not sure about Other places,,, but around here the people who make BIG $$$$$ in the health care business seem to be The Developers who Build ALLL these huge state-of -the -art Commercial buildings, which then house dozens of doctors offices,,MRI and X ray locations, Physical therapy Offices, Remote Surgical sites and which usually have entrances which look like Hotel Lobbies... Everything is done on leases, the "tenants" are only there 8 to 10 hours a day... Rent is assured to the property owners whether the "sick and infirmed " PAY or Not.... I see many MANY of these fine and fancy brick-built buildings, springing Up everywhere around here... All the while, as we have dozens and dozens of usable and functional properties going vacant.... I don't get it...

you also get The Skydive....(slot) Not sure about Now,,,, but when I WAS shooting videos I also MADE..... a Lot of Friends.... " Hey Jimmy, can I get a Dub of THAT "?????

Yes it was. Very, very compeling. Agree !! sometimes the instrumental version of any song, can be a pleasure to hear...That guy "had some Brass!!! " P S during the Anthem at the Denver Game, my son asked... "why are so many players still wearing skull caps "?? "shouldn't they be removing them, in respect " >>>??????? we all agreed

nice...

what's wrong????? with the scenery around Toronto??? Lots of nice shorelines. ... and plenty of capable and safe jumpers... are you ready to cover costs??? for slots. and for video work & post production ? good luck jmy

What about the married ones? Good thinking on the O2 molecules. Ahhhhh the married ones!!!! well when they ARE married it would be to a Hydrogen,, and oxygen is a polygamist so it's to TWO Hydrogens.... which is H2O,,, which is WATER.... and THAT helps knock down that fire,,, as well...... jmy

I would remove every Single last MOLECULE of Oxygen... SMothering that devil inferno... and saving EVERYTHING else that's IN the building...right down to my old parachutes... jmy

The shoulder is the MOST complicated and amazing joint in our bodies. but CAN wear out and dislocate or tear. Could it be from all those earlier years, of closing Pin and cone containers??? or from all the years of door jambin and climbing in and out of planes??? Suddenly we can find ourselves " on the other side of 30 " Recovery will come... with time. Do the stretches and flexibility excersizes... You still have ALOT of "toggles and risers " that YOU need to be pulling

just watched it again...... NO doubt in my mind that the camera guy (OR someone out of view) HAD to be giving the operator the ole hand signals for "c'mon...C'mon.. OK !!! "

...pretty DAMN Good depth perception...on the part of the operator...

good posts. one and all. be sure to specifically INVITE previous tandem jumpers to return ... for a second visit. try to do it a Few times after they have enjoyed their skydive.... It's too bad , if most of them simply leave, rather than feel welcome to linger,,, smiling that smile that we've all seen.

From a Carl Boenish Classic,,,,, might have been Masters of the Sky or else Sky Capers........ "whyyyyy didn't I GO to Ralph " jmy

Thanks to encouragement from friends who may have posted about events...i managed to get to certain boogies, or get -togethers. Or to Southern DZs during OUR winter months... First met Normiss @ SD City...

" IT " ...Are Ya' HAPPY Now ?

Regarding... " free government money " Not sure about ALL the states,,, but In New York, Employers, ( of which I AM one. ) PAY Quarterly Unemployment Insurance (tax) Into a system from which Claims are made... Maybe the Govt. Adds to it or authorizes supplements to that fund...I'm not sure.. but in all the decades of Paying into this system.. I have never Once collected ANYTHING... from it.. ( except for cancelled checks ) Yes... if things go bad and employees HAVE to be laid Off.. they should collect something.....but only to a certain level... there should be NO such thing as "perpetual care unemployment " and especially for those who also earn $$$$$ "under the table " or from within todays "street economy " Like it's been said...people need to be motivated to FIND Work... good luck to everybody out there....sure hope things get better.. before they get worse. jmy..

Right. sometimes simple can work... Use a tripod, remote shutter switch if you have one, and good lighting ... and you CAN photograph them, one right after the other, and i'd bet accomplish quite a bit in an hour or so...

skymama !! you just put a Big smile on my face....had forgotten about that... would NEVER wanna give friends,, "old & previously worn " shirts however. I tend to keep most of my own, old tees...for sentimental reasons... But maybe a half dozen years ago.. I responded to an ad from a guy in texas ,, I think...... who was "liquidating" a DZ pro shop or something.. I Bought something like 40 "never worn" tee shirts for a hundred and fifty bucks... Nancy laughed her... "I'm amused,
