Ron has every reason to be satisfied with the Trump Presidency. It is regressive and it prevented a progressive from gaining power. Mission accomplished. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

The best thing about Trump is his incompetence. That lessens the amount of damage he can do. But at the same time it leaves open the possibility of a colossal error. The next best thing about Trump is that he is not really conservative, just right wing. He does not care much about advancing an ideological agenda. He merely wants to be great and will work with whoever. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

In a few months time, when Trump has resigned in disgrace and Pence takes over, we will be hearing from Marc that he knew all along that Mike Pence was going to be the President the country needed. And that Trump was always just a stepping stone along the way. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

LOFL What really happened is Putin allowed Trump to take his cock out of his mouth long enough to tell a few more lies. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Perfect. Now instead of the whole thing fading into the night, Trump has a new nick. "Cock Holster Mouth" it is then! Remember it, CHM. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Not to everyone. And, for some, until they go to use their TrumpCare and find out they're up the proverbial creek. Then, and maybe only then, they might just ask themselves what they voted for. Jerry Baumchen they won't put 2 and 2 together like that. It'll still be Obama's fault. Yes it's true. They are dead set against socialism. But they want health care somehow anyway. In a way brenthutch is right about this. At least he understands the issue, even if I can't agree with his answer. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

And I'll bet you $100 that Drumpf has no idea what is in the bill. Does not matter what is in the bill. It passed the House, it is not the ACA, and it won't be called Obamacare. Those are the things that matter. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I'm actually more concerned with the possibility of long slow openings. Most likely it would get used for IAD FJC students. Most of those never get to freefall. But in any case, a tandem harness is built to withstand tandem terminal openings at 500 lbs. Tandem canopies open very slowly whenever I have jumped one solo, but that was with the drouge out. I suppose that a 300 lb man would have a higher terminal velocity than that though. Still, that slider is huge...... Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

So...., now the bill goes to the Senate, correct? If the Senate makes any changes at all, which it is sure to do, then it goes back to the House? Where it just barely got through, only all this will come as the mid-terms loom? This battle is just beginning. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

That's fine for you to use. But it would not be good for a 290 lb first jump student. The TSO rating on a Raven 3 is only 254 lbs......., and the Talon harness is the same. I'm trying to keep the wing loading much lower than yours. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I'm considering converting a Vector V2 tandem rig to use for larger students that are too heavy for regular gear. I'm talking about big guys up to but not over 300 lbs. Not obese people. It would probably get used for IAD jumps. I'd remove the drouge system, install a smaller BOC, and figure out an appropriate p/c size to use. I know there are other solutions, but I would not get enough use out of a new dedicated rig to justify the cost. I have a couple V2 tandems I'm ready to retire though. Has anyone done this? And more importantly, is there anyone who has already figured out that this is a bad idea? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

That's funny. Trump can't even keep his trophy wife at home with him. President Cuck! Now you're showing desperation Who, me? Nah, I'm fine. I'm getting mine, just like Melania is getting hers! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Oh yeah! You and your snowflake president.

Maybe not. She has seen a lot over the years. But I'm pretty sure she is decent enough to be at least embarrassed. What is really embarrassing it that regardless of which R won, we would be seeing the same loony actions by the left. Simply because the sacred Hillary did not win But then, the left thinks this is normal behavior these days..... You must be kidding. Surely even you understand the behaviors exhibited by Trump are far beyond what any reasonable persons expects of any President of any party. Trump is not destroying the office, but he certainly is shaming it and your country. The Trump presidency is a low point in American and especially Republican history.

Looks like he was lucky enough to rupture his tanks and spill all his fuel just before hitting the ground. Probably saved him from burning in the crash. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Never the less, here he is. Why give him bad advice? You've made your statement about how you deal with risk. That's not relevant to him, only to you. We generally like to advise people to proceed on the safe side. If you promote the opposite you can count on push back. Not for your sake, but for those who come here and don't know better.

Hmmm...CBS is broadcast TV, not cable. Things certainly have changed over the years in regard to censorship by networks on behalf of the FCC. There may well be fallout from this. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

If canopy choice is to be made without any consideration of the individual risk profile, and if further a choice is to be made to mitigate that risk (as you stated above). Then this would lead that we all should jump the biggest most docile canopy. However this is not the case, we all jump a canopy that is a compromise of performance, safety and convenience. This canopy choice, mixed with our skills, weather and other factors creates a certain risk (or risk score). Depending on your personal situation and preference this risk score is different for any single one of us. The real relevant factor in this decision is the intelligence of the person making it. Fools make foolish choices. It's a known fact. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I heard someone talking about that stuff this weekend. Never heard of it before that. I can't imagine why anyone would want to try such an ungodly thing. Sacrilege. Diageo bought the distillery in 2000. They own many brands of whiskey. And they have a lot of marketing geniuses trying to find new ways of attracting new drinkers!

Crown is also the official whiskey of Skydive Manitoba in Gimli. The world's supply of Crown Royal is distilled a couple miles from the DZ. You can smell it cooking when the wind is right. The steam coming off the still is one of our easiest to read wind indicators. I buy it at the duty free on nearly every trip I make south to keep up with the demand.

There is still one place in the world where you are always welcome: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/oilers-star-spangled-banner-1.4092866 Come on up. (See Aphid while you're here) Just don't be surprised if the attitude sours a little if our team loses.
