  1. I love that place - I suppose it would be my favorite bar downtown. I don't know about Thursday night as I have school until 10ish. But hmm I guess if people show up I could stop by for a pint or 6. Neil
  2. Yeah form what I've heard this venture is dying or dead. .:skip
  3. Just opened my January issue of Parachutist and I see in the Square1 add the new Bone Head Mamba full face. Does anyone own it, use it, have anything to say about it? I am very interested. Thanks neil
  4. Believe it or not you can also score park passes for cheap on Ebay. neil
  5. I hear a lot of talk about how hard wings reserves are to pack and have even read here of a rigger who charges extra to pack a reserve into a wings container. Can someone (preferably a rigger) tell me (a non-rigger) why the wings are so hard to pack. Is there anything different about the reserve deployment sequence from a wings as compared to a comparable pop top type system? Being that they are difficult to pack are there any added precautions to take when packing? Thanks for the info – will be purchasing a new container soon and am just gathering opinions. neil
  6. If the machine is running windows XP you could also try performing a system restore. Start – All Programs - Accessories – System tools – System restore Launch this program and pick a date you want to restore the computer to and it will eradicate any software installed since the chosen date. It works quite well. neil
  7. I would also be interested in seeing some pictures of the M-Series Vectors. Is their a big difference between the Micron and the M-Series (other then the size). What is the difference between the Vector 3 and the Vector 3 M series? Thanks Neil
  8. I will be at spacey as well on the first and hopefully the second. I would love to make it out tomorrow given I'm getting out of work early but it's gunna be very damn cold. neil

    Days Inn - Rantoul

    Anyone ever stay in the Days Inn in Rantoul? Is it close enough to the convention to walk “home” in case of mass alcohol consumption? I’m looking at booking a room for at least some of the convention as I want to do some serious skydiving – nice quiet place to rest etc. etc. So please if you’ve stayed here chime in with your opinion etc as it is a little cheaper then the Best Western and I’m thinking about scooping up a room. .:skip

    Best Drunk Food

    Oh my - someone else enjoys my pic for "best drunk food" Without a doubt my favorite "drunk food" is hummus and pita bread. I keep my kitchen stocked with the stuff. Easy - quick - tasty - and good for you. I eat the stuff 6-12 times a week. .:skip
  13. Anyone jumping at Emerald Coast Friday and Saturday? I will be in town for Thanksgiving and was going to swing by and check it out. neil
  14. Conway: I’m so sorry to hear this news. You have been a big help and inspiration to me the last few weeks and throughout my skydiving career and well you’re a strong guy with lots to give to everyone and damn I’m just feeling for you. You are a great son and I know you’re proud because you should be . God bless Patricia Ann Hall – for she has blessed us all. .:skip (neil)

    Collegiates

    I would like to put together a UH team but realy do not know too much about it, where can I go to find out more information? thanks .:skip
  16. Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead I love this movie - have only seen on once and can not find a copy. It is "out of print" on VHS - not released on DVD. What a great flick, hope I can run into it again someday. .:skip
  17. Hey I might be driving up from spaceland for atleast one day of the boogie - im not sure who you are but maybe we can make some jumps. neil
  18. Thaks for this info everyone. Big help. .:skip
  19. Thats prety funny becasue about 2 years ago there was the guy jumping out at spaceland who had a canopy to sell which I offered to sell for him over the internet. Well the canopy sold so quick and I guess he was impressed with my computing and networking skills that he called me up one day and started telling me about all these problmes he was having with his kidneys etc. etc. and he point blank very frankly asked me if I could try to find him a kidney for sale on the internet. Bwhhh. True story - I could try and track him down if you would like. .:skip
  20. well no I have not talked with sunpath about the free handle - though we have been communicationg about other aspects of the rig. I was just looking for opinions about said device as it ocoured to me that I have never seen a jav with one of these handles. yup
  21. I will be ordering an odyssey soon and notice on sunpaths website that they offer a freefly pud option. That’s great but I do not think I have actually ever seen this option on an odyssey – I’ve seen it on many wings systems but never a Jav. Does it secure in the bock the same way as on the wings systems. Does anyone have one, any comments, or even pictures? Thank you thank you. out .:skip
  22. Made my 100th at this last skyfest - as coincidence had it I was able to do one of most memorable jumps to date. Pictures attached in link. My 100th Jump .:skip
  23. awsome - thanks for the great boogie - I had a great time.
