Great photos, Quincy ... you've really captured the "heat" of the event (sorry you had to be grounded to do it, though). How's the broken wing healing?

:4:0 Did four yesterday at K-pow, including jumps with grannyinthesky and brucet7 ... always fun jumping with the new kids. It was fun to have two Caravans (the "short bus" and a Grand) turning yesterday - with that much lift capacity, we didn't miss the Otter at all. Hope y'all enjoyed it up in Alberta!

What do you know, old man? I've got mad skillz. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

It was yummy ... and I found it at Fred Meyer! What a surprise! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Oh that isn't just a threat either is it? Cuz I happen to know you are coming over in a little while! Shhh, it was supposed to be a surprise.

Have a great birthday, John. Spankings coming soon. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

I ordered two PCs from the guy back in April (different user name ... dumstuntzz, same guy - Charles Mack, according to Paypal). edited to add link to his FAA registry record Looking back at my email chain: Ordered/paid on April 5. I followed up on April 19, got the same message about a lot of response to the ad but that they would be shipped out in the next few days. But in my case they were shipped out. I don't remember exactly how many days, but I think I had them within a week. I didn't have an immediate need - I had a PC that I knew I was going to want to replace soon-ish, but not right away. So while I don't think he's necessarily the most speedy, reliable, communicative seller, I wouldn't say he's a total scam artist either, though why he uses an alias, I don't know. The PCs themselves are as advertised. YMMV. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Thinking of you all this weekend ... I am definitely there in spirit and will be thinking of everyone from the skies across the country and crossing my fingers for enough good weather to get this jump off so you guys can then party down Shrek-style.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Happy birthday, hot stuff! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Let me know when the forums at www.tinfoilhats.com are ready. I'll be sure to sign up. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Pssst. Nick. Look up. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

I was watching when she went up for her first four-way. It was two hot chicks ... and two dudes. Sorry to ruin the fantasy. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

But I thought getting onto your crush list was the surest way to immediately get into a great relationship. It's a good thing.

What did it say? See post #21. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

OMG I must own that. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

no joke. I laughed, especially since I have MANY shirts that are worse than the one in question ... but their DZ their rules. A t-shirt certainly wasn't worth falling on my sword over, especially since the DZO made it very easy for me to comply with her rules. I also don't think any parents complained. I think it was just the DZO's call. I also got a great story out of it - I told Hammo at Elsinore about it and he's given me blanket permission to wear any t-shirt I want. I've taken that as a challenge. Edited to add a pic of the t-shirt. Not that bad, huh? But also not worth getting kicked off a DZ.

No, but I had a t-shirt censored once. I got a free replacement t-shirt for that one... I did have to put it on immediately though.

I have no idea. I was never very good at it when I was single. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Yep, 98% of the time when they pull it off the belt, they just want to swab it. The AAD card doesn't come out unless we move beyond that to talking about pulling out reserves to see that "weird thing on the x-ray." "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Even if TSA had any authority in Russia, you're still absolutely wrong. For those traveling in the US, here's the relevant information. TSA can and does have the authority to open reserves, though the owner does also have the right to be present: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1147.shtm It's important to be aware of this so that you're not arguing the wrong thing - better to say "I understand that you do have the right to open this, but let me show you the paperwork explaining what you're seeing on the x-ray so we don't have to do that" ... then show them your AAD card rather than fighting the wrong battle.

That person was wrong. I would have made them ask the pilot. There is no way in hell I would ever check my rig. Last time I traveled on Air Canada from Canada into the U.S. (in 2006) they were enforcing a 10kg/22 lb carry on weight restriction (in Toronto, at least). My rig is heavier than that so I was forced to check it - had nothing to do with what it was, but instead with how much it weighed. Some rigs would fall under that weight limit, of course. Traveling on AC from the U.S. into Canada those rules were not enforced - I'm not sure why it was different. Their airline, their country, their rules. The rule was enforced well before the boarding gate - I wasn't really in a position to demand an audience with the pilot. I preferred to check my rig and get home without creating an international incident. I've traveled extensively with my rig throughout the U.S. and dealt with all manner of TSA agents and all levels of training and experience. Cooperation, patience, and lack of attitude has managed to get me through every single time without a reserve opening or needing to check my rig, despite threats of both. As for the OP, might want to write a letter to Delta - it may not do any good, since they may defer to local regulations and or rules, but it can't hurt.
