  3. Can you solve this puzzle? You are riding on a beautiful white horse. On your left side is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion. In front of you are four large gazelles that won't get out of your way and you can't seem to overtake them. Behind you is a stampede of horses. What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation? * Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round. * Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  6. FD - thanks for letting me know about this DZ, I've been skydiving for 30 years and have lived in the area for 30 years and never heard of it, Asheville is beautiful, can't wait to go there and jump but my favorite is Skydive Columbia www.skydivecolumbia.com right here in my hometown and I can't seem to find it Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  7. MicD - you're killin' me with these comments, and the shoes - oh the shoes Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  8. ask them how much they will pay you to show up Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  9. I had those bad boys all over at my lake house. In the house, eaves, roof, trees, dock, boat, under everything outside - basically everywhere. Tried all the stuff from Home Depot, it killed on contact but had no residual effect. The exterminator sprayed something 1 year ago and the problem disappeared. I'm just now starting to see them again but in much smaller numbers. They also gave me some gel stuff in a big white syringe. Put out 1-2 drops, they come to it by the hundreds. After about 2 hours they disappear forever. Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  10. Haven't you ever been to the shoe show? Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  11. cost is all over the place, upfit: molding, fixtures, tile, fancy bathrooms can drive the price real high, an average might be $110 / sq ft but could be $80 or $200 it is a good time to be in the buying or building mode, prices of everything are down if I were building now I'd check into preconstructed/modular homes, where you design the home with their help, they prebuild almost everything, bring it to the site and assemble one thing for sure - make it as energy efficient as possible, rates over the next 5 years will rise 20-50% Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  13. Probably water -- i.e. rain. Especially if there's plenty of dry minterals (salt, etc) in the fabric that helps water be more conductive, when it becomes wet... Then there's a ground path from the powerlines to the ground. One can hang from a live powerline and not get shocked, but as soon as there's a path from the ground to the powerline through your body -- zap! Or the canopy lines/fabric short-circuiting across two power lines, when getting wet... Across 2 lines usually is not a problem unless you are between those 2 lines. For clarity, if you land in the lines and your canopy drapes across 2 or more lines, and you are below the lines, and then something changes to increase conductivity - let's assume it begins to rain - the wet canopy provides the path for the electricity. In this case the shortest distance with the least resistance for the electricity to flow is between the power lines. There will be a nice electric arc and noise, hopefully the line fuse or breaker will operate and deenergize the line. The canopy will have vaporized. The other stuff is correct. If someone walks up and shortens the path or provides a more conductive path to ground by touching the person or gear then that could be bad. The fabric harness, jumpsuit and shoes provide some level of insulation, it may be enough to prevent electricity from flowing. If you are standing on the ground my recommendation is to not do anything, call the power company and have the line deenergized. Most folks won't follow that advice so if you had to do something, an option might be to pull the cut away handle and literally fall backwards away from the risers. I would defintiely not let anyone near me, move my feet, kneel down, touch the risers, or touch anything metal. Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  14. I can comfortably do 140 and with an arch hit 150 in my slick suit. And we have a tiny, talented and really cute female instructor that can keep up. No fear here! But we don't have a rig that will fit him. Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  15. Those lines have a relay that auto closes within a few cycles of a sensed fault just incase its just a bird frying and then stays off locked out until the fault is investigated. Generally this is correct but our breakers are relayed to reclose 2X on a fault before locking out. I've seen some strange things with electricity and will never trust the breaker to lock out and open the circuit. Our lineman always verify that the circuit is deenergized and then will install grounding cables before working the line. If a skydiver lands in a typical distribution circuit wire and is touching the ground it is highly likely that there will not be sufficient fault current to open the breaker or blow the fuse. That is until something changes, like someone walking up to help and touch the gear, or the canopy and lines becoming more conductive. Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  16. it is just a matter of time before we see a reporter decapitated or impaled by flying debris Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
  17. no simple answer, depends on physical condition and mental capabilities having an MD checkup would be a good start, knees? heart? eyesight? strength? flexibility? weight? Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

  19. there is no way the power company would allow them near the plane without deenergizing all the lines Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

  21. Yeah, what about YOU, Bill?? I just gave your name to an awesome goodie baker. She moved to your area and wants to come to your DZ. I think you should repay me by coming for a visit.
