  1. So ya saying there is some vid there???? Sounds like ya are tying to get in some extra practice?? Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  2. Good God I wish I could remmember some of the things at Skydiving camp I often recall the "beer light" going on and then the sun comming up and giving me a headache. this seems to have happened again and again. Oh well, a little air in the am clears the mind, right???? Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  3. Gotta love the 1.37 exchange... It was a good weekend but hell, that "Blue" suit was kinda strange... Besides that I dont think I will get my hearing back any time soon Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  4. Must be a tad bit chilly on the "For the Guys" forcast you shared with us. That is all I could "read" into on that one, well I guess I mean thoes two.... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  5. I hope to see it. It will depend on the day you do it. Sounds like fun though!
  6. Tell the seller the story and find out the cost of the patch. Dont have the patch done unless your going to buy that canopy The links or slinks are, IMHO, not a main canopies "responsibility" When you buy a new canopy it does not always come on links. If he had said it would then it is a valid reduction in cost. Let the seller know your not happy with the response time and the canopy was not as described and tell him the price your willing to pay. If he goes for it move on and be happy. If not you dont want to have done a patchthat your going to have to likely eat the cost for. He will probably take a reduction in cost given the story but if not there is no reason to have the work done for him. Depending on the existing temp patch the location of the hole and its size, you should be able to jump it as is to see if you even want tthe canopy.. Scott C.

  7. I was amazed at the sheer number of book that fit into this genera, on both sides. It is a fun topic to read as it has a footing in what a lot of people believe, again both sides. As a result you get a little fire or passion from the reader and a phenomenon. Hell it is better then the romance crap or other just flat out silly books people imerse their grey mater into... This has caused me to do some thinking and dig a bit deeper as well! Hope all oof you who hav not read it do to get in on the fun! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  8. I loved the Divinci Code for its blend of Fiction/non-fiction. Just a good read! If you liked it and that style of book then the first Dan Brown book Demons and Angles is a good read as well. Less Fact based and more adventure/suspense with Robert Langdon as the main charachter. It is a completely different story line but also challenges the church. Not in a "cover up" way from the church (i.e. divinci code) but more in an adversarial way with the "Illuminati" Also a good read! Both grab you right away: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671027360/qid=1085591033/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-3207295-7449501#product-details A big controversy is with Lewis Perdue and if Dan Brown had taken some of his stuff from Daughter of God for The Divinci Code. Daughter of God was a good book as well. Lots of art references regarding Goddesss worship and the transition from pegan to Christian beliefs/blends intertwined in a good story to sit and read. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0812589718/qid=1085591136/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-3207295-7449501?v=glance&s=books I am reading The Da Vinci Legacy (also by Lewis Perdure) now and it is starting off kinda slow but lots of the same controversies or implications in the other 3 books... If you really want to get into it, there are lots of "Counter Point" book for the Divinci Code and other like it. I have one called Divinci Code Fact or Fiction. It is only 65 or so pages and trys to counter the preceived truths from a Church believer standpoint. It is a quick read and brings up some arguments against "Code" but honestly its kinda silly if you ask me. The book its countering an intrperation of historical truths blended into a story. The Divinci Code is Fiction but people are screaming it is fact. There are a good number of these "Fact or Fiction" type of books on Amazon as well. Additionally there are a lot of books with a similar theam to Divinci Code out there. It is not a new thought or challenge. End result, I dont have a problem with the Church and I dont have a problem with Science or additional historical information. I actually get a kick about the level of fever that hard core Church go'ers have towards any semi-historical book, specifically "The Divinci Code" A good friends wife is a devout Catholic and is steaming mad about the book, just silly in my eyes. Dig around on Amazon with the Divinci Code as the search and you will turn up a multitude of other books to read! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  9. Tough call, well not really since the wedding should not be a every year thing like a boogie. Who knows, maybe your Bro will decide the next weekend is best! It would be fun to go for the first half and leave before the BIG weekend but then you wont get the full effect. Go to the weeding have a great time and go to another boogie! LP is getting on the up side of popular boogies again (seems to ebb and flow year to year) Always has been a great time for the Canadians and NW jumpers that go but more and more are showing up! Provided it goes good this year there will be more there next year! I am getting there Friday night of the Big weekend and looking forward to it. I can miss the mid week stuff, even though that is awesome, and still have a smokin good time on Fri night, Sat and Sun!! Good luck with the Wedding and dont worry, I am sure at some point people will give you a thought on a jump!! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

  13. Here is one thats in line style-wise with lots o the T-mans posts, just plain silly... There once was a baby elephant and a baby turtle drinking from a river deep in the jungle. For no reason, the turtle reaches over and bites the elephant's tail, really hard. Years and years later, the same elephant, now grown up, is by the same river, having a drink with his giraffe buddy, when the same turtle that bit him on the tail all those years ago wanders up to the river. The elephant rears back a leg and kicks the turtle as hard as he can, sending him flying way off into the jungle. "Why did you do that?" the giraffe asks. "When we both were babies, that turtle bit my tail for no reason," the elephant replied. "Wow! You must have a good memory!" exclaimed the giraffe. "Yep!" said the elephant. "I've got Turtle-Recall."

I just have to say, Damnit people, let "Crazy I" do his job and just enjoy a funny post that might be making a "more then once" appearance Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

  18.

Got a laugh out of this one in my E-mail today!! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  19. I have to say it was a bumer today since I hd to have my dog "Ben" put down. He was an awesome dog and was with me since 1987/88 from the pound when he was about a year old or so. It was time but that does not mean that it was not hard. Vet came out to the house and we gave him a something to put him in a sleepy state. Took about 30 min to take full efect. Petted him the whole time and he was relaxed and happy. After he was ready the vet did it while I was holding him nd pettinghim. Very sad but I know it was time, he was not the dog he was before and right or wrong I thought it ws the right thing to do. I just needed to get it off my chest and sorry for bummer post but i kinda needed to say it..... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  20. You get a smoking deal (i.e. FREE) on a rig and you hang it up. I think it is because you saw the pics of the pieing they gave to Deb and you dont want tto hit 100 Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Hope the weather is better tthis year and lots o-fun is had by day at the DZ ad by night at the Firking Pub and well I also guess the DZ Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
  22. I have had a few times when I was letting the student/passenger help and they cause a problem buy stopping the flare short or flaring too hard and fast. Now I simply skip the problem and land by myself on ALL 1st tandems. I let them fly the canopy (i.e. let them work on their arms) up high and at about 1000' I tell them to let go and wave and yell at their friends on the ground... If it is a progression student then I will work with them on flaring but for a 1st jump tandem I try and take as many variables out of the equation as possible. I figure my job is to let them have a fun safe time and get them on the ground safely! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
