So it's not to your taste. Good thing there's a lot more beer out there. Give 'em your feedback and try something else. "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

Unless your home is exceptionally damp or already mold-ridden, I would think that the risk of mold or mildew would be very low, provided of course that the canopy wasn't damp when it was originally stored. I'd put it in a pillowcase and put it up in a closet and not worry about it till you're healthy to jump again. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Far from it. Sensory overload is not at all uncommon in early student jumps. You certainly should discuss your concerns about your glasses with your instructor, but there's probably a higher chance that your brain was overloaded, not that you were having trouble actually seeing.

One of the greatest failings in Australia is that there is no pepper jack cheese to be found here, essentially. The only way I've found I can get it is by going to Costco and getting this big cheese platter, about 10% of which is pepper jack Here's another way: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-make-monterey-jack-cheese-recipe Or video if you don't like reading: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raN7f0-EuqM "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Which shoulder? If it's your right, you'll want to explain to your medical team the specific movements that you make when pulling. Get down on the floor on your belly and show them the arch/reach/throw movement. For either shoulder, talk about exits and the stresses those put on the shoulder (hanging off the plane if you're outside, potential for tension from exit grips in any slot). Describe (or show) them your typical position of your arms and the relative pressure on them in freefall. Describe the motions and movements that you need to make to fly your canopy and flare. Skydiving and the particular stresses it places on various parts of our body are really a mystery to most medical professionals so whatever you can do to help them understand all that will be helpful. (As an example, I've been dealing with shoulder pain lately, though not dislocations, thankfully. My orthopedist asked me if the parachute opening sequence was likely to put stress on my shoulders. I explained opening forces to him and that a hard opening was more likely to put stress on my back or neck than my shoulder. But we did talk about all the other parts of skydiving that can wrench my shoulder...which helped him understand better.)

It's not about the space... it's just about not even wanting to see even one topic in certain forums. Well, really, just one. Thanks for the response.

Reminds me of the old joke... A Brit, an Aussie, and an Irishman are in a bar drinking beer. Suddenly, a swarm of flies comes by and one lands in each of their beers. The Brit calls the bartender over and says, "Sir, I need a replacement, I can't possibly drink this beer now!" The Aussie says "No worries, mate," picks out his fly, flicks it off and keeps drinking. The Irishman carefully plucks the fly out and holds it over the glass and says "Spit it out! Spit it out!" "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

I like the ability to collapse forum categories that I don't tend to read. Can we provide the ability to hide individual forums, too?

You crazy! Those are the best dates ever. Though they don't usually put out. And they do have a habit of disappearing. "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

If the dinner's good, I'm happy to have it included in the boogie / event fee, and it's nice to have everyone in one place after the jumping day is done. I'm just as happy to have a dinner provided on the dropzone where there's a separate charge. That way, it's still an easy option, but if the food is something you're not interested in or you don't think it's worth the cost, you can always opt out. I've seen many places where they plan for X number of dinners and sell tickets throughout the day; once the tickets are gone, they're gone. Helps the event planners now how much food to prepare/order without being stuck with too much or too little. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Full movie is now available on VOD: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/skyhigh/76978977# Since I contributed to the Kickstarter campaign to fund the film, I got an early copy, and I can definitely say it's worth the few bucks to watch. Well-made film about a very cool guy. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

I'll bite. If you're going to a DZ that has sufficient volume to support such an operation, they probably already have a bar/restaurant. The SDAZ experience with a coffee shop in addition to a bar/restaurant may have shown that a busy DZ can't support both. Are you prepared to compete with an existing operation? If you do happen to find a big enough DZ that doesn't yet have a bar/restaurant, this might be a viable business opportunity. Personally, if I'm at my home DZ, I'm usually set for coffee (either I make it at home and drink on the way, or I make it in my RV if I'm staying over). When traveling, yeah, good joe on the DZ would be nice, but I can deal with "hot and caffeinated" if that's the only option.
