Secrets! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Lots of advice above!! Good or bad, I don't know. But here's my two cents... School is an investment! In this case, an investment in yourself. It's not easy and should never be. You need to work and sacrifice. If it were easy, everyone could do it. My question to you is, "are YOU worth the investment"?? If so, work hard and sacrifice. Good luck with your decision Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Only did it once, me and Gregg J. over the Oshkosh Air Show. T-10's at 800 ft. We learned about "oscillation" that day!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Back in the day, we use to do CReW on every RW dive. That's what the space between 2,500 and 1,500 is for!! Oh, and by the way, what happens to the poor camera guy when his team falls apart?? That's right, what about the poor videit?? What does he do when Scotty hangs it up and Eric can't jump on the meet dates?? That's right, "I Don't Know" has become "I Don't Think So"!! Any teams out there looking to help out a poor underprivleged human camera mount, give me a call. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

It looked to me like they were struggling to climb at all. They not only flew over residence, they did it very low. Try explaining that to the FAA?? "Gee sir, I really thought we could clear those power lines. Sorry about all the dead kids on the playground." Is this going to affect my license??

Hey, don't these guys have some sort of BSR's??? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

O.K. I'll take up a collection... Anybody wanting to donate to the "Skymama goes to London for a kissing session" Fund, please send money. I'll have video's of the event for a small fee!!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Never underestimate us Old Farts!!! Great job! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

It's alot like jumpen... RENT a board, take some lessons, and then let him figure out what he needs. Also, boards are like canopy's? There are many different sizes and shapes. The correct one will depend on the surf, his size, type of surfing, ect, It's cheap to rent. Alot of surf lessons come with free rental.

Sorry I'm so late to post this... But, I slept in today since I have the day off... Na Na, Na Nah Na... Oops... good movie starting on tv... gotta go! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I agree! These clamp on terminal connectors cause all sorts of problems. If that's indeed what you have, replace them with new "OEM" or equivilent cables. Some systems in a car (starter motor for example) require High Voltage. Remember, any electricity from the battery has to first get thru the cables. However, again.... DO NOT use grease, petrolium, vaseline, oil, hairspray, or other coatings. Use a good quality battery terminal spary. It works and will not cause other problems.

Do NOT use Coke on anything metallic!! Coke is extremely corrosive and will cause rust problems down the line. Drop a penny in a cup of coke and leave it for a week. You’ll see what I mean. As mentioned above, use a baking soda SOLUTION (one gallon of water mixed with one cup of baking soda) to rinse the battery. Wear safety goggles! When you pour on the solution, it will bubble. When the bubbling stops, the acid is neutralized. Be sure to rinse with lots of cold water to remove all the baking soda solution or it will turn white and chalky when it dries. Now you can clean the battery terminals and the caple clamps with a wire brush or terminal tool. Again, wear safety goggles! They sell these terminal tools very cheap and they work really well. I reccomend to my auto students that you clean your battery terminals once a year. Do NOT use dielectric grease or Vaseline. They sell a battery terminal spray that will coat the terminals to help resist corrosion. This also (unlike dielectric grease or Vaseline) will resist the flow of electricity to anything but the cables. Anything else will allow arching or shorting. All due respect to the posters above… When you want auto advise, try an auto forum! Skydivers (myself included) know just enough to be dangerous. Good luck!!

If you look carefully at the original pic, that plane had another number which is faintly visible on the vertical stabilizer. If anyone knows how to get a hold of Hayden or Millsy, they had a pretty good history of this bird as I remember I think the “US Air Force” paint may have been put there for Air shows. Remember, these were the guys know as the “Freedom Fliers” who use to do, among other things, the Oshkosh Air show. The Freedom Fliers were originally put together by Randy Iverson and Jim Hankock. Hayden made several jumps with us before he bought the drop zone from Iverson. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Remember, the check engine light is your friend. It's there to inform you of a problem. When the computer detects a problem the light comes on and a code which identifies the problem is stored in the computer (ECM). If the problem goes away (usually temporarily) the light goes out but the code remains stored in the ECM. Don't unplug the battery cables... It works to clear the codes, but then you lose all your radio station presets and such. Instead, find the fuse box and pull out the ECM (electronic control module) fuse. This will cut the power to the ECM only and clear the codes. After 4-5 seconds, replace the fuse. The check engine light should go out when you start the car. Now, if the cause of the problem is an intermittent one, your check engine light should stay off. Get your test. Chances are the light will come back on which means the computer has, once again, stored a fault code. As Mazz stated above, Pep Boys or any other auto place can pull the codes and let you know the problem. Cars! Nothing Cheap about em...

New DZ in Minnesota?? I just saw this, does anyone have any information? http://skydiveminnesota.org/ Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Always willing to ride! Sport, Cruiser, Standard, mini-bike???, or Dirt. It's all good! See Aviator... I showed up at the DZ last winter in my car and the first thing people asked me was... "You have a car???" Blue Skies, Twisted Roads! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Excellent! You're getting the idea. You've even jumped ahead a lesson to "Getting the greatest value for your "jumps"!! Next week we'll be discussing "investing your jumps". Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Clearly, this is a priorities related problem. As you can see from your statement above, your priorities are out of wack. Quicken is a very expensive program that probly cost you a couple of skydives! Then there's the computer which probly cost over 50 skydives... you get the idea. That coupled with the fact you still don't yet have a clear understanding of "Skydive Econimics"... let's see if I can explain; Forget about the "Dollar", a skydiver's econimic currency is the "Jump". A pizza is worth about one Jump, a new car can be as much as a thousand jumps. Once you've gained an understanding of this economic model, and you've realigned your priorities, all will be well in the world!

I don't know how funny it was?? Looks like the TM goes into a tuck position, allowing the side roll to happen. The passenger appears to be in better position for deployment than the TM. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

... and, with all the new mods, they'll be charging about $3,249.00 to 10,500ft. But, they'll be serving chapaign in flight. Oh, and where did the canvas/velcro door go. I hope they didn't loose it, that bird gets cold in Wisconsin after November... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
