  1. Definitely Mesquite, and they have a caravan for the winter. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
  2. If you have good insurance, go for the Stiletto. ER Docs need to make a living too "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
  3. Take your logbook. You should be able to jump. They should review aerial photos, LZ, etc with you. They may want you to jump with a coach. But if you are current, they will probably let you do a solo. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
  4. I was scared shitless for most of my first 70 or 80 jumps, but when I got to the door, I was fine. Still have some jitters an a jump that is new, bigger way, or after a layoff of more that a week or so. And still have a healthy respect for what can go wrong on each jump. "We saved your gear.

  5. I also try to heal the sick, fix the injured, usually just end up giving them drugs and calling it a day, though "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

  17. Jeff, John is getting a lot of glory, and rightfully so, but you were equally responsible for getting him stable, checking his responsiveness, and signalling John to pull. You 2 are both awesome, and thank you too, I can't think of a better pair to be there when the shit hit the fan. Doc "We saved your gear.

    Open Caskets

    I was the last of the siblings to see my Dad before he died. At the funeral home, I decided not to go up and see him in the casket, preferring to remember him as he was saying goodbye to me a few months before he died. I prefer the "big picture" in front of the closed casket to remember the deceased alive, smiling, happy, and active. Doc "We saved your gear.

  19. He was definitely much happier at the time of the picture than 2 minutes before. Thanks for the pic, Karen.
  20. And jumper regained consciousness under canopy, was disoriented and confused, saw canopies flying and flew by instinct and landed hard with half flare. He continued to act concussed but had an otherwise normal neuro exam and went to a local ER for evaluation. He had a cypress, but I think the extra altitude he was opened at was instrumental in giving him the time to go on instinct and land safely. If he had opened under a cypress fire, he would have had a higher likelihood of landing injury IMO. Thanks, John - you are my hero too. Doc "We saved your gear.

  21. I would like to do a vasectomy on turtle after I have had 4 glasses of wine. Hell, there is only a white tube and a red tube on each side - what could possibly go wrong? "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
