  1. I'll consider disconnecting my RSL after I have had my first malfunction ... although I'm confident I'll pull both handles, I just am not willing to fly without an RSL yet (at about 130 jumps).

    Children?

    Aww... thanks, Pammi for saying so! Aren't kids great ?!! But I'm sure I'm gonna have to keep a baseball bat near the door in a few years! Clay -- don't get any ideas...
  3. Ahhh... NO! Definitely not ... I don't get tipped for doing my job -- I get PAID. Same with my rigger. But the rigger gets a bottle of his choice if I use the reserve and it works!
  4. Actually, your storyis similar to mine ... me and a buddy had been casually talking about skydiving for about 10 years, then one day someone at his workplace was going for a birthday present ... he got invited to go, invited me and my brother ... and the rest, as they say, is history! Of course, the most jumps any of them did was 2. Me? I was HOOKED immediately! And now I'm working on a thousand jumps... on 870 or so to go!
  5. You Californians ROCK!!! This takes DZ.com to a whole new level! We are gonna shoot for a Canadian DZ.com record at the May meet in Kamloops! Tee, 174fps, Favaks,Billy ... who else is coming? Tee, even if you are on your way to Mommyhood, we still need ya there! Nice Job on the video, Quade, and thanks for sharing!

    Children?

    Ok, seeing as we are all being proud of our wonderful offspring, here's a picture of my 2 from last summer's vacation.
  7. Did I need to know all that??? Noooo!!! But I still like boobie threads!
  8. Me? I'm just a restless soul... gotta be out there... and I've allways had dreams of flying -- not in a plane, of course -- just little ol' me -- flying!
  9. Some monkeys get spanked!

    Thanks for the slose up ... I guess a flashlight could be a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands - those of a maniacle 5 year old!

    Children?

    My 2 daughters, who are now 7 and 9, watched me land my first jump. They hang out at the DZ sometimes, and are on a first name basis with many of the jumpers there. They dig skydiving, and will likely try it themselves when they are old enough.

    funny!!!!

    Couldn't read the fine print, but that flashlight is very similar to my scuba diving light!
  13. Let's see .... falling out of that tree when I was 10, bad car crash when I was 18 or 19, learning my 9 week old daughter could have cancer, and spending 2 weeks in hospital with her before the Dr.s learned it wasn't cancer... those come to mind.
  14. Get it caught in your zipper? (J/K )
  15. I borrowed my handle from a list of personalized licence plates. If it's yours... sorry!

    I'm back

    I'm so glad to have you back, Michele -- you can tell me everything! It's great to know your first jump after your last jump went so well. You are back home in the air, and here with us.
  17. I stopped drinkin' water when I heard fish fuck in it! Happy birthday, Kelly! Hope yer head isn't too hurtin!!!

    Question

    maybe the world is out of sync???
  19. Wow, Favaks ...skydive for a month -- sounds GREAT! Save a jump or two for Kamloops!
  20. We've discussed Tad's suits here before ... My buddy has one of their freefly suits, and he's pleased with it. Solid construction, good fit. I have one of their Comp suits (RW), and again, it is well made, strong seams, great fit. Certainly the price is respectable. You are not paying for a label...

  22. Glad to see that you're ok, Omri... musta be a scary few moments.
