    Please, please, please. do not ever rely on your RSL to do something you should be doing... The harness is a great idea. So is pulling the handle before a repack (please talk to your rigger first). And, as important as anything else, learning how the gear works. Once you exit the airplane, you're not much without your gear...

    3 twin Otters, a skyvan, a wind tunnel, and the "Shelter" on almost any given week end? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    GTF out! What are you still doing there? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    You fooled me in the Otter though! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Not great resolution... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Good! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    You really like those long distance relationships It's my penitence. I must have been pulling the wings off a fly in a previous life or something.

    Check out versiontracker.com, and search for the previous version (4. something...??? 5 is the latest). "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Damn! I'm so used to using my skydiving rig on BASE jumps, I got confused... I was about to advise her to turn the AAD off if she was swooping the Fjord. I'll go back into my cave now, and look for my power animal. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    They may be protected... Can you open the tunes in Quicktime, and export them into aiff files? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Just to get in? Safety briefing, then depending on what you are trying to accomplish, briefing about the "flow". They're usually pretty strict regarding anything that could snag. Jewelry, buttons, etc... A suit, IMO, is a good idea. When the flight starts. Either. But I would recommend sharing. Not only because of the physical strain/recovery factor, but also because breaks allow you to process and analize what you just did. Up to the staff. There is, of course, a video camera recording the flight (you can get VHS or DVD). Note: I only have a couple hours in the Perris Tunnel. Best thing is to call them.

    I assume you tried dragging the Limewire tunes to the Library folder. Have you tried creating a new playlist, drag both the Library and Limewire contents into it, and make it your IPod default list? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    That's no issue if you love what you do. But a major one if you don't... Good move. Don't settle for something that makes you miserable... Because you are selling your rig, or will you keep the rig and just not be able to afford jumping? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    If you have an AAD, make sure you get the "X-Ray card" handy. Just in case. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Based on your avatar, you've obviously tried it before! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    The legal aspect of it I think is quite interesting, as there are 3 parties involved (one of them being involved 4 years ago, then recently resurfaced!). But what worries me is the child. Having known a father who isn't her father, and finding out who her father is, even though he wasn't legally before, and...! Oh yeah, the fact that her mother was THE key witness in a first degree murder... Ouch. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Being walled in with Charlize Theron. Where do I sign? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Ditto. Be safe people. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Low turn! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    This is a classic! Going where no men have gone before... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    You must be kidding! Airbus just opened new horizons to the industry. No need for tires anymore! On a serious note, I have a feeling there's a nice little trench running through the middle of runway 25R at LAX... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Or, in small letters, add "No .... there I was..." "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  23. Frenchy68
    Very cool! Not quite sure I would want "shit" coming out when pulling the "left" handle thingie though... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
  24. Frenchy68
    You should be fine. Make sure you board early, so you can get room in the overhead compartment in case the plane is full. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Oooops! "Anthony Flores, 29, has been paying Frey $175 a month for nearly four years, his attorney, Glenn Wilson, said Wednesday. The father of the 4-year-old girl is actually Fresno restaurant owner Christopher Funch, Wilson said." I can't imagine finding out that my 4 year old daughter is actually not mine... What is wrong with people? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
