  1. hey everybody, I know many people use Sharpie's to mark lines, etc. I'm guessing this can't affect the strength too much. (can anybody confirm??) I'm wondering - can this marker be used to color an ENTIRE line? (Red for example ) Anybody tried this? Brant
  2. I would suggest going to find thus guy

  4. I've only talked to them directly twice. Both times I talked to Pablo in the rigging loft about sizing. Both times we spent over 20 minutes discussing sizing. My questions were all answered, and he helped me make my decisions. so, I would vote "very good". Although I do wish lead time was a little lower!! (but hey, it's winter - as long as I get my rig before the season starts!)
  5. congrats Roxi! Hope you guys enjoyed that rum I left!
  6. oooh oooh oohh. I know all those people! I even got to jump with some of them! (any many more) I thinks I like that dropzone-that-shall-not-be-named. (Even if I lose my drink every time I go to the steakhouse.......)
  7. wow! We've had wuffos call 911 after seeing a cutaway and assuming a fatality - but to actually print that in a newspaper???? way to go dumbass! A simple "what was that" to the jumper standing next to him would have cleared that up immediatly! oh - edited to add: Enjoy the free publicity!
  8. Stupid northwest. Return flights were all booked for Sunday. They would give me a credit for this flight (minus the $120 fee, of course) but it would only be valid for a trip from Atlanta to Winnipeg. fuckers. So, I just booked on another carrier for a whopping $20 more than NW's change fee. I think I know who I'm not flying with again next time.... Oh well - See some of you's at Tha Farm this weekend!!!! I'm looking forward to it.
  9. yeah stop being a tight arse you're talking to a Manitoban. We don't know how else to act!!!
  10. that would be ideal, but my flight's are booked though the company travel agent - not on my CC. unfortunatly. oh well. maybe i'll "be ill" for today and tomorrow, and need the extra days to finish
  11. That's very true. (although not ideal ) I agree about the policy - as long as it's not within 24 hours or something. I mean, it's not like you won't be flying with them on the later flight! a-holes.
  12. that is a distinct posibility in ATL... I know I think Atlanta's the only city I've driven in, and come to a complete stop on a 14 lane highway! (daily!) I mean - how the hell do you even stop a 14 lane highway???
  13. so - I need ideas: How do I convince my company to pay the $120 "change" fee that Northworst charges? It would seem that some extremely friendly Atlanta folk are having a boogie this weekend - but I'm scheduled to fly back to winnipeg on Thrusday . Maybe I should just not show up to the airport, then later claim that I was stuck in traffic for 3 days other ideas?

    Cool Pic

    from this morning. (good thing i'm in Atlanta right now...)
  15. good job. Next time, do it in 5-10 mph, adding some good front-riser input, onto the taxi-way. that really makes it interesting (not that I've ever done that )
  16. Hey Andy - yeah we'll have to do some jumps!! I think you were teaching an AFF class all day last time I was down. I won't have room for any Cdn beer unfortunatly, but I will defanetly have to hit up a liquor store on the way to the dropzone!
  17. I'm booby-trapping it. Alright, BOOBIE traps!!!! Billy you're so cool!!
  18. I meant the free steak & booze place
  19. 2 questions: - What time does it start? - How big's the landing area?
