Toyota recall for gas peddle getting stuck on the floor mats
skyjumpenfool replied to CSpenceFLY's topic in The Bonfire
Then you have no business here. Yah! Throw that guy outta the plane!!!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
that's what I'd do I know, I know!! ATNA...(all talk, no action) that's me. In over 30 years of jumpen, I've never penciled a researve. The 180 day cycle helps. But, pencils are cheaper. Mybe I need to get a riggers ticket. Happy Thanks Giving... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Toyota recall for gas peddle getting stuck on the floor mats
skyjumpenfool replied to CSpenceFLY's topic in The Bonfire
Toyota is now recalling to replace the gas pedals. Word is that it's 1/2" too long. This's not an isolated issue... there've been many recent Toyota design flaws. For instance, the Tundra's frame is rotting away from the shock/strut towers and spring mounts. Sorry to all you Toyota lovers. The simple truth is that for a lot less money, American built cars are just as good as the rest. Or, maybe I should say, just as bad?? Maybe all the cars should have a tag under the hood that says, "Built by Humans". Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
OMG!!! You poor thing???? I'm thinking Chip Falls, WI. Highs should be in the upper 30's. The only problem is, my new rig is being assembled, my old rig is out of date, my crw rig is also out of date. So, I have a choice of borrowing a rig or finding a pencil.

Computer speakers picking up radio stations. Help!

Yep, I have the same problem with the fillings in my teeth. You might try shielding the coils? Or, just reposition the whole thing. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
Just got my new Wings in the mail... 50% off coupon made it a no brainer! I looked it over very carefully. It's very well made! I couldn't be happier. I'll get back to you in a few years to let you know what I really think..... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

TI's: Tandems and Helmets (your typical use)?
skyjumpenfool replied to fcajump's topic in Tandem Skydiving
Frap hats are spendy, but I really like the idea of using them for TI students. What amazes me is that no gear manufacturers have designed a helmet for this purpose. Soft pading on top, hard side shell with ear holes for hearing... hmmm Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
As it gets colder, I'm wondering if anyone has found a good pair of gloves that are SAFE for skydiving. I'm currently using my light weight Kevlar motorcycle gloves. However, they're not heavy enough for winter. I know this could be in Gear and rigging, but I’m interested in feedback from a safety aspect. And, a quick search didn't find any info. Thanks Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Jumping @ different DZ's while on solo status
skyjumpenfool replied to Eagleeye's topic in Safety and Training
For what it's worth, talk to your instructors, if they know the DZ or any instructors at that DZ, they may be able to call ahead for you or steer you towards the right people. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
We've seen this many times!! Way to many to dismiss it. Keep your eyes open all the time. Always be checking the skis for aircraft,,,,, or ufo's, or cute little angels, or..... sorry, the voices in my head got me distracted for a minute....

Don't rely on Eyeballs alone either. That can get you into trouble... Wrist mount, chest mount, audible, eyeballs. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Did I make the right choice? Down wind landing..
skyjumpenfool replied to Tuna-Salad's topic in Safety and Training
At least it wasn't on that "smaller" canopy you wanted to buy a year ago. Another argument for not downsizing to soon. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
You heard about the "slow" skydiver that went into the store to buy condoms... The clerk totaled up his order and said "that'll be $3.95 plus tax sir". The skydiver cringed and replied, No tax thanks, I'll use tape. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

That's not a mistake, that's just 18+ years of good common sense training going out the door! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Stand up landings on rounds are like stand up landings on any other canopy,,, just takes a little practice. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
