  1. Was at a DZ where I saw the DZO was going to take an upjumper's friend on a tandem. There was going to be lurkers on the jump. When they did the dirt dive, I realized they planned to launch as a flower in a FF group. I trunk packed my rig right then and haven't been back there since. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  3. Shah is so busy, he doesn't have time to read the books suggested. Hell, I doubt he has enough time to even Suck It Up. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  4. Please don't. Sheesh, some people don't have a sense of humor. I have had to drink the gallon of SuperFlush, or better known as ColonBlow. Cause it does, literally. Ya gotta make sure you have plenty of toilet paper on hand because you go through a lot wiping the splash back off yer buttcheeks. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  5. Work 11 hours M-F. Class on Saturday. That leaves Sunday wide open. I am a California boy and crave sunshine. I consider myself lucky that I have an outside job and get plenty. When I don't get enough, like now when I am working graveyard shifts, I become grumpy. I do my best to get out sometime to get a dose of the sun. Eat your lunch outside away from your cube. You'll get a reprieve from work stuff and get some sun. Double win. I am also a dog lover. Can't have one in the building where I live. So when I pass a dog on the street getting a walk, I take the opportunity to give them a good pet/scratch/rub. The dog loves it and I enjoy some of that positive energy. It can take any form, you just need to find the little things that let you get out of your head and enjoy life's simple pleasures. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  7. Once you jump that DVD camera, it will be a brick and you will have to buy another camera anyway. But hey, it's your money to spend and your camera to kill. Good luck on getting anymore advice, seeing as no one will waste their time since you only want to get an opinion that supports what you wanted to do in the first place. 50 donations so far.

  8. A dvd type recorder can have problems with going to altitude as there is not enough pressure to keep the heads from hitting the dvd. Unless this model parks the head and you only record to flash media, expect your camera to be a very expensive paperweight. And to answer your question, different brand lens/camera combinations will produce different results. Generally, .5 is for more outside video and .3 is for inside video.

  9. But one thing that static line training can do that AFF cannot is be able to jump with low clouds. AFF needs 9K, static line can be started at 3k and move higher as delays get longer. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  10. But, but, but, it says you edited the post at the bottom of the OP's text area. What did it actually say? Hmmmm? I won't tell Rhys. Promise. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  16. Always focus on the task at hand as to what you should do. Focusing on the negative will produce those results. Positive action creates positive results. Yes. it sounds hokie, but it works. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  17. So then you're admitting the thing that was probably on the guy's mind first and foremost was having sex with her. If that's the case, then clearly it wasn't an altruistic move on his part. If it's not altruistic, then we have to leave open the possibility of nefarious. "And who knows what evil that lurks in the hearts of man?" Quade knows. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  18. But think about the DZO that has a C206 that needs a new powerplant. Now it looks damn reasonable for a plane that will burn Jet A and climb like a rocket turning loads all day long. The only concern might be needing more tandem rigs because the plane will out turn the packers. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  24. There should be the usual things you will find at this boogie. Gear manufactures with demos. RW bigway on either Thursday or Friday. Good organizing for RW, freefly, and wingsuit jumps. Night jumps on Friday. Aircraft often include a helicopter, balloon and tailgate, depending on availability. Dinner/beer and boogie videos on Saturday. Hangover on Sunday. It's a fun boogie. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  25. Andy, I'm not nearly as old as you, and had to learn FORTRAN. At least it was FORTRAN77 that didn't require punchcards. Just compile and fix the mistakes. Luckily our instructor didn't ding us for each time we compiled. And haven't used it since. And to those that think the poll is if you speak American, nope, not the question. It is if you ARE or are not American and how many languages you speak. Sheesh, can't ya read American? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
