Pshaw! Dude, you're missing half the point of the sport!

By the way, I am a relationship idiot. Please don't listen to anything I have to say on the subject.

The man is wise beyond his years. While there are great relationships that seem somehow "magical", like our own Merrick and Pammi, it is unrealistic and self-defeating to think that this is just going to happen to us, if only we find the "right" mate. All relationships take immense work and compromise. Deal with it. Find someone you can work well with, that you can be yourself with, and who is willing to put up with your bullshit, and your 90% there. The rest is blood, sweat and tears. Or, decide to be alone, use escorts and packers, and do all the heavy lifting on your own! Carl

Donna, aren't they calling for rain this weekend up there?

Hmmm, that's an interesting point. Isn't there a position in the Kama Sutra that is something like the "double boxman"? (ARCH! HARDER!! HARDER!!!) I'll bet you could have some fun practicing your sit-flying and "head down" positions with a willing and skilled partner as well. Now that's what I'm talkin about! Carl

Two words: Southern California Break it down: City/Town Size: take your pick Weather: do I even have to mention it? Even when it sux it's great. Compare your forecast to this. Job Market: As good as anywhere these days Housing: may take some looking around Communities: what do you like? Compare LA to Carlsbad and you'll see the range available Schools: dunno, should be able to find good ones Culture: did I mention the weather?

Really, where? Certainly not any of the gurls here! Of course in freefall, we all look rediculous.

Um, yeah, so?

Two words: pull out

Nice, gyrl! I'll take one Crossfire 149, please.

I had the pleasure of demoing a Safire last weekend, and it was pretty cool. I feel like there is a lot I can do with this canopy, that it will still be fun 500 jumps from now. I only loaded it to 1.24:1, as I have really only flown f111 canopies (similarly loaded), and haven't really learned high-performance flying - yet. I've got about 400 jumps and am pretty competent with "low-performance" flying. My question is, what other canopies would be worth trying before making a decision, either because they are similar, or because they offer other advantages. I was thinking about the Crossfire, but want to ring out something more moderate first. I also have flown a Spectre, but it wasn't fun enough

Here's another take: when I was demoing gear this weekend, the guy in the shop asked me to make sure to collapse the slider, as it reduced the wear on it. I guess that if you are spending too much on worn-out sliders, you should be more cognizant of collapsing it. Carl

5:14:0 Does Friday count? If so, 7:14:0. Sorry, I don't drink

I am terrified of flying on commercial airliners. The first terrifying thing is at the gate check in. "Oh, my God, are they going to make me check my gear bag?!?". Next comes the always frightful, "Oh, my God, I'm seated in the middle seat between Orca and his smelly wife!!". I won't even begin to describe thre trepidation waiting for the (dare I say it) IN-FLIGHT MEAL!!! Wait, is the guy in front of me actually going to recline all the way?!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
