    This'll piss off the tree huggers out there, but, oil is still the cheapest thing there is. When it comes to cars, oil costs nothing in the grand scheme of things. So, just keep adding fluids until it becomes rediculous. Whatever you do, don't run it low on fluids. That'll end a cars life no matter how old it is. Good luck. The Auto Shop Teacher Strikes again!!

    Don't you guys drive on the other side of the road anyway?? Sounds like they may work? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

    That makes about as much sense if I took a golf club and used it to knock out the back window of an SUV and then sued the golf club mfg because the club got bent and could no longer be used. . You're right! However, there’s a good chance the golf club manufacturer would lose the case in this system. Right and wrong seem to have very little to do with it. But what’s more pertinent to this thread is that; win or lose, the legal fees to defend themselves will probably put the manufacture out of business.

    I was there to watch the very first shuttle take off. We happened to be at the Easter Boogie (Z-Hills) and drove over to see it. Words cannot describe what it's like. If you get a chance to see a launch, do it. When does the last shuttle leave? It'd be cool to see the first and the last! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

    It's a 8 year old Ford!! How nice could it be??? ...sorry Just under 1000 bucks isn't that bad if you consider what new cars go for. Post the information and I'll have my Auto Mech students do some research tomorrow. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

    Hello- I didn't catch that you were a local... Talk to the instructors at the DZ. Mark is there from time to time this winter. He is one of the most knowledgeable riggers you may every meet. He is always willing to talk with anyone. Plus, he probably has a handle on you and what your abilities are. There are some really great rigs out there. Many more than were available when I started in the sport. You’ll find that the more experienced the jumper, the more opinionated they are about gear. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. My personal recommendation would be to try to find a good used rig that fits you and has the canopy’s suited to your experience level. Then, as davelepka stated above, when you’re ready, move onto newer, smaller, color coordinated, “cool” stuff. Good used gear is not easy to find, but it’s out there. See you this spring….

    Find a container that fits you! One that's sized for the canopy's that fit you and your experience level. Have it checked out by a good rigger. Whatever rig you get, will be your favorite of all the rigs you own... And, I hope I get a chance to jump with you in the future.

    I don't have that many jumps. I've only been jumping camera for about 4-5 years. I'm very aware that jumping camera takes effort! In fact, I can remember several instances where those jumping with me lost altitude awareness or suffered lapses in concentration just because there was a little red camera light shining. At break off, I've seen people spend "extra time" geeking the camera or tracking in front of me to be sure I captured their opening. Humans are animals filled with stupid! Cameras magnify that stupidity??

    Maybe talk to your DZO. Safety Day can occur any weekend. Some DZ's are not even open yet. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

    Yes! Your boyfriend is indeed a skydiver. But, would you be willing to give him up for me? I'm a world renowned brain surgeon and I make about 37.6 million a year. I am very young and extremely good looking. Although I don’t want to brag about certain physical gifts, I will just say that I’m built to please. Did I mention how smart I am? Anyway, let me know….

    He'll be looking upwards of 30,ooo$ for a 10 minute joy ride. If you think this is such a good value deal, why not hire one and take it to a track Are you saying your buying????? COOL! As for anyone collecting $30K, you can't squeeze blood from a turnup! Or, as my dad use to always say..... "If a Turkey cost a nickle, I couldn't kiss a bluejays ass".

    Bored??.... Here in Minneapolis a while back, a group of sport bike enthusiasts were bored. So, to kill some time, they would go out late at night and take a little drive on one of our many fine freeways. What they’d do is, find a State Trooper, flip him the bird and then take off. Every once in a while, they’d slow down to let the Trooper catch up. Then, after another firm “Eagle Salute” followed by a little twist of the wrist, they’d once again disappear into the night. It got to be a little embarrassing for the local law enforcement types so when they finally caught up with one of the board bikers (weeks and many incidents later) they came down on him pretty hard. He apparently rolled over on his cohorts (nice guy). It all ended very quietly as to avoid publicity. Now, I’m not saying I was involved in this activity! I’m just writing this because I’m bored.

    No matter how cold it is where you are, there's always somebody who's in a colder spot! Yes! That would be us here in Minneapolis..... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

    I unhook my B12's after I land, do a little "hip wiggle" they fly up in front of me and I catch them. then I snap them together. It's a fun way to kill time on the long walk back to the hanger. I suppose I could just learn some accuracy???

    Can I get an ultimate switch with a Nikon 2020 35mm plug and a Canon G-10 plug? I have my helmet set up to easily slide in either camera. It would be nice to set it up for a blow switch. In other words... can I use one Ultimate Blow switch to opperate various cameras? (Not at the same time of course) Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
