First came the round parachute (modern day) Then, along came the High Performance rounds like the Para Commanders (PC's) and such. The next progression was the ram air "Square" canopies. Remember, the early squares appeared to be square. These quickly morphed into more "rectangular" in shape. Elliptical canopies, although evolving from the square/rectangular canopies, marks the next generation of parachutes and IMO should be considered a category in its self.

Cats are o.k., here's what I've leanred about them over the years... 1. They fall too fast for use as wind drift indicators. 2. They mess up your blender. 3. They make great muskie bait! 4. You can't clean that shit off the inside of your microwave. 5. They definately do NOT taste like chicken! 6. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

If your spot is long, you can always run back with the wind. If your spot is short, you will be blown past the dz and it's much harder to make up ground. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

As someone who teaches engineering, I find the above jokes offensive! So, keep em coming!! Q: What do engineers use for birth control? A: Their personalities. The Top 10 Things Engineering School didn't teach 10. There are at least 10 types of capacitors. 9. Theory tells you how a circuit works, not why it does not work. 8. Not everything works according to the specs in the databook. 7. Anything practical you learn will be obsolete before you use it, except the complex math, which you will never use. 6. Always try to fix the hardware with software. 5. Engineering is like having an 8 a.m. class and a late afternoon lab every day for the rest of your life. 4. Overtime pay? What overtime pay? 3. Managers, not engineers, rule the world. 2. If you like junk food, caffeine and all-nighters, go into software. 1. Dilbert is a documentary.

Hi Lisa, Although I've never heard anything bad about you, I wouldn't believe it anyway! And, although i detest rumors, if anyone was to ask, just tell them I'm really good looking, smart, have a great sense of humor and I'm filthy rich. That should do it.

Facebook dilemma (or: WTF WAS I THINKING!?)

Just set up a second (MOM) account where you only post 'safe' stuff. That should do it. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." -
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!"

I should clarify to say that turbulance are caused in part by wind speed/direction. There are also other variables which can cause them. As an example, solar effects over fields or water. I'm sorry, were you looking for the short answer? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I guess the larger question here is... "Why are you asking this question in this manner"? Are you trying to perpetuate this name calling, or, are you really looking for an honest answer? Sometimes motive is important! What is your motive here?? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

If there's a hazard, the person in front of you is probly off the gas already! So why would you be pissed if that person then helps you out by pointing out the reason for the sudden slow down?? Could it be your tailgating too close? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

All the Wisconsin jokes aside, that ride looks really, really average?? Come on over to Taylor Falls, WI along the St. Croix River and we'll do a little cliff diving. That's right... some good old Wisconsin Extreme Sport! Not the fake, safety net, commercial crap. Extreme Sports are for extreme athletes! Circus rides are for Woofos!

I think wind limits (under canopy) are irrelevant to a point… The bigger issue might be turbulence! However, the two are related. It always amazes me how turbulence can occur/increase as you pass through a certain altitude. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

We don't need any more "stupid asshole" laws!! We don't need Uncle Sam to tell us the obvious. My guns are all locked up and secure. And, it didn't take an act of Congress. If you want the law abiding folks to conform, pass another silly law. Then, you just have to deal with the criminals.. Good luck with that!

I have a post-it-note pasted on the inside of my helmet's visor that says that. It reminds me constantly, but, makes it a little hard to see the road... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I always use mine... although, I think the bulbs have been burned out for a couple of years now?? Anyway, I never fail to push the little handle thingy everytime I turn. I kinda like the way the dash light just comes on and stays on without all that anoying blinking and shit. And, when I forget to turn off the damn thing, no one cares. Life is good!!
