What is not to like from the guys point of view? Can it be felt or something? Please excuse me if that sounds like a dumb question but my wife had her tubes tied after 2nd child and that was long before the nuva ring came around. __ My mighty steed

Good point

I'm in a similar situation. I have kind of lost touch with a big part of my past and having recently lost 4 close family members has given me a desire to get back in touch with my roots. My problem is that my great grandfather came to the US from the island of Faial in the Azores (Portugal) How does one trace ones family on an Island smack in the center of the Atlantic ocean that I've never been to? Looks like I'll be taking a trip

Should they make a reality show on the life of Skydivers?
ChrisL replied to goofyjumper's topic in The Bonfire
It would be just as boring as every other reality show. __ My mighty steed -

Not to put down anyone that was not trained professionally. Its much more likely that someone will aquire both proper technique and understanding of theory (and faster too) if they are properly trained. If you want to teach yourself, then for gods sake learn theory and learn to read music, otherwise when you try to jam with other musicians you wont be able to speak a common language. It will be a lot harder to work with other musicians, especially if they are trained in theory and can read music. __ My mighty steed

Self taught is great but I dont know any self-taught guitar players that know shit about music theory and most of them have terrible technique. I've been playing guitar for 30 years. The first 5 were under professional instruction from a working professional studio musician who stressed music theory and sight reading heavily and was majorly biased towards Jazz and classical. Almost everything of value that I play today I taught myself, and I prefer hard rock, HOWEVER I wouldnt be a fraction of the musician I am today if I had not started out with competant professional instruction. You cant learn technique from a video or book. You cant talk to a book. You cant ask a book questions. A book isnt going to interrupt you and say "no, you arent doing that correctly" Can you learn to play on your own? Sure you can. Can you get a solid foundation of theory and technique on your own? Possibly, but its not very likely. Do you need that solid foundation? Well, if you ever want to be more than a hack, then yes. You do. If you just want to hack around in your bedroom late at night or with a couple friends and a case of beer, then dont bother with instruction. But if you want to be a musician as opposed to someone that just plinks away on the guitar occasionally, then find a good teacher. A really nice guitar will still sound like crap if you cant play it worth a damn __ My mighty steed

Question about an old Perris incident
ChrisL replied to ChrisL's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was watching a show last night called "Sports accidents" or something like that and they showed footage of an accident that happened at Perris where one engine on the plane caught fire on the ground before takeoff and the entire plane burned. Everyone got out fine, but from the looks of the plane and the gear the jumpers were wearing I'd say it had to have happened about 20 years ago. (wild guess) They (as usual) were completely lacking in any any interesting details. They didnt even say it was Perris, but I saw the name stenciled on the fuselage of the plane in one shot. Just wondering if anyone had any more details on that incident. Like the date, what type of aircraft that was (was it a DC-3?), if they found a cause for the fire, etc __ My mighty steed -
That looks more like a crappy pack job on the main to me

We agree! __ My mighty steed
