  1. Well, if she's that skeered of going into a Starbucks.. get out the fucking coffee pot and stay home. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. Ya know... I like it. I think it has potential for each of the AFF Dive Flows. On my PC, I'd like to see it centered. On the left side, one gets to choose AFFI-VII and then to the right side of the altimeter; it has the dive flow steps. It would also be nice to if it would randomly (on occasion) come up with the types of parachute malfunctions, along with the appropriate clock speed & altitude loss so one can practice their EP's. Well Done. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. Helluva year for you,Brother. Heal up. I'll have a drink for you tonight... Cause that's the kind a guy I am. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. . Yeah, it's going to be a bit small... especially if you have a newer ZP canopy. I can only make a couple of non-rigger suggestions, 1) try a psychopack, and 2) talk to your rigger about a larger Wings D-bag. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. Is it tight in the D-bag, tight in the main pack tray or both? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. Here's my vote... push forth and complete my AFF and and pick up next spring where I left off? (
  7. Actually.. tripled. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. That pretty much sums it up. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. Similar situation. Different Procedure. Almost deadly outcome. Same story as yours, but having 1000ish jumps at the time. Many years with round canopies, lotsa personal training on accuracy using just risers. Square, stable, steerable with risers. What I did NOT see was the tear in the topskin of the canopy. Did a great job of "textbook" steering into the pattern with just the risers. So good that the Instructors with a group of students outside were discussing patterns - thought I was helping to demonstrate a perfect flat pattern entry, downwind, base & final. About three feet off the ground and into my flare, the topskin shredded the rest of the way resulting in a dynamite PLF. Had it been 100-200 feet... You did the right thing.

  10. If anyone's interested... such as difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_air Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. >>>I would have to take their ground school before I could jump, no exceptions. The price of the ground school and one jump is $327 (regular price of a GFF jump is $100), but they will give me $60 in jump credit if my two friends who would like to do tandems come along. You sure they didn't misunderstand and thought you wanted to do a tandem? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. More important thought is, "what size reserve will you purchase?" You'll want no more than 1:1 W/L.. around the 218 range. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. I'm going to go out on a stretch and say there will be some "consecutive" sentences that will keep him behind bars for 40 years or so. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. a female. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. Well, here's everything you've written... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results;search_forum=all;search_user_username=promise5;sb=post_time;mh=25 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  16. There's some bars in Oklahoma & Texas that you don't want to find out you have a drinking problem. You will black out and you may remember some of it... Depends on how hard they hit you. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. Well, he did say he found the information he sent to wiki-leaks, "upsetting." Maybe they'll cut him some slack?
  18. The rock-throwing reference at conservatives caught my ire. The "Liberal" party wasn't always so... was the point I was trying to make, but I guess I kinda missed the mark on that one. People seem to forget that it was the "conservative party" who founded a lot of then "Liberal" ideas and the then "liberal party" who flamed out at them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1957 Quite frankly, I'm tired of the blame the "liberals" or blame the "conservatives" saga over every silly point. Yeah, I missed. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Louisiana is predominately Democrat and has been since the Civil War. Those laws put in place were by Democrats (liberals). It hasn't been until recently that the Legislative body has been Republican and when those laws are changed or when the Sheriff's department "consults" with the legislature about the matter... it will be seeking conservative opinion. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. It's just you... You knew someone had to do it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. I'll be at Sturgis on the 4th and leave out about the 9th... If anyone else is in the AO; shoot me a PM. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. Today's chuckle.. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  23. Because he thinks that by changing his username - the mods won't notice he's cross-posting or using an alias? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Thanks for sharing, Bro. I've often said, "If the big Man takes me tomorrow; all I can say is, thank you." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    About 1,000 years ago while going through some training at Ft. Benning, I was invited by one of the Instructors to his house for a Saturday afternoon BBQ & Beer. Turned out to be a Mobile Home Park and was filled with GI's and their families. It was clean, filled with Pine trees and that white sand, blue skies, not too hot, kids were playing all over the place. Each had a dozen parents watching over them. People started to gather at the improvised community area bringing in chairs, tables, coolers, grill fixings and a nice time broke out. All afternoon/evening there was good conversation as the kids played around in the area with frisbees, softballs, footballs, hide & seek. The adults in the core area with the kids not wondering far off. I share this with you because it was a life lesson for me. We've all been through those ups & downs. Soldiers never have any great financial "ups," but they didn't let that get them down... they enjoyed their family, friends and the day. And, whenever I've gone from an "up" to a "down," reflected on those times that were simpler and that the quality of life is better than the quantity of life. On that note, I think I'll take my little girl for a walk to the park... Thanks for reminding me, Later Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
