Paradise is always somewhere you're not. There was another thread earlier today on where would you live and why.. and I thought of all the places I've lived, on 5 continents and quite a few islands - and figured - there's always a reason to be somewhere else. Why are you not home? t It's the year of the Pig.

Not me... I am down South! (Africa) It's Alana who's off to Patagonia. I dreamed it. She doesn't know when or how, but it'll happen. t It's the year of the Pig.

This I can verify. I have a tongue piercing - and I've NEVER given a blowjob. t It's the year of the Pig.

And I'll take mine after Patagonia. t It's the year of the Pig.

Yeah. I'm in! t It's the year of the Pig.

Well - That does tend to piss people off. Go into their country, blow shit up, kill people - it's upsetting. I'm not a great Nationalist, but I do feel an affinity for the land I live in. I'd fight to defend it. (My last war was more about ideoligy than land..) t It's the year of the Pig.

19 posts in 40 min... better hurry... t It's the year of the Pig.

That it will! t It's the year of the Pig.

Well then on the predictive biometrics of 25 - 40 in an hour... this one's not going to make it... t It's the year of the Pig.

Number of posts in a short space of time. I think it's about 40 posts in an hour, or somewhere thereabout. You seem to collect them...

I got my shotgun already. Plus stuff more handy. Stuff for the dark quiet nights, stuff for far away. t It's the year of the Pig.

LMFAO! Yeah. Coffee and Vodka. Staples! t It's the year of the Pig.

Nope.

Jebiesz jeze! Lol, with sympathy for the hedgehogs.. t It's the year of the Pig.

Hey Erno! How's Australia! Cuddled with a Kangaroo yet? Chosen your favorite beer? (Just don't say VB or XXXX...) Missing Finland? Summers coming.. hope you're in good shape cos once those tourists want attention... you're going to be busy! Blue Skies, t It's the year of the Pig.

My wingloading was 1.55 on the Jonathan 120, which is low by comparison to some people for my experience level. Some reasons for this are - 1. I'm 40+ - and regardless of what people may say, you're not as fast or as flexible at 40 as you are at 20. 2. Our DZ is 5050ft ASL, and very hot in the summertime - around 35+ deg C. 3. I like to be able to land safely where ever I choose, or where ever is chosen for me. My wingloading on the Stilleto 107 is 1.74. The Stilleto is a far better canopy than the Jonathan, and I actually feel more within my limits on this canopy than the last one. I've only just begun riser turns, having always toggle spanked canopies prior to this. (Thanks Chuck and Tim for the online mentoring. It's going VERY well.) If you get the chance to go on a canopy course, go for it. I prefer the Safire to the Heatwave. I have access to a Safire 135 for my Birdman stuff which I'm loading at about 1.38 - and I can really get that thing to sing - mainly because its well within my margins. Respect must remain, however. Blue Skies, t It's the year of the Pig.

Ditto. 17 chops, some with several handles. (Tandem) I saw a mal caused by the throw away practice handle on an IAD dispatch a decade back. The ribbon went through the slider grommet. Student chopped and lived. I'll keep my handles thanks, and I like that I have both before I start. t It's the year of the Pig.

Keeping your cutaway drills current. I beleive upwards of 90% of jumpers belong on "squares" or light elipticals. It's all marketing. The real swoopers can swoop any rag. t It's the year of the Pig.

And one at my DZ who was not saved cos she never had one - dispite our chat... It's always OK until it's not and then you're fucked if you don't have a plan. t It's the year of the Pig.

Don't you mean your Cypress may cut the loop and activate your reserve, possibly resulting in a deployment? t It's the year of the Pig.

Alti on left wrist. Dytter on right ear. t It's the year of the Pig.

That's wildlife? Really? I have ants in my house in the wintertime... do they count? Beavers? Turkey? Africa ROCKS! t It's the year of the Pig.

Patagonia is calling.... Calling.... And it's WAY better than London. I'm tired of life. t It's the year of the Pig.

Thanks for the article. It brought back memories. t It's the year of the Pig.
