  1. You're asking that on a skydiving forum? That's like asking a bunch of winemakers if anyone's got a dog named Shiraz We had a dz dog named toggles once. Real pavement special, but lovable, nonetheless
  2. Too true... Watch your fingers! A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  3. Nope, didnt say that. Just tried weights early on & it stuffed me around more than it was worth. You said you've never jumped with weights. Why start now? I also have a few jumpsuits to play around with ff speed, but still end up jumping a tight pitts special 99% of the time. Body position is much easier to adapt - you can't get rid of weights when you're playing 'dead spider' during a dive & still going low A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
  4. IMO it's trial & error. Anyway, it's easier drinking a can of soda / glass of water before your jump to add 0.75 lbs & there's no added external material to mess you up in case of a (accidental) bad landing. After I learnt to bend my back a bit & relax, I could actually fall away from the bricks & fridges at our dz
  5. Try Avast It's free if it's not for business use. I've loaded the free version on more computers I care to remember and never had any comebacks. Having a slight conscience, I actually paid for the professional version for myself and am EXTREMELY satisfied. Avast doesn't slow down your system like Norton or McAfee & catches more bugs than NOD32 ever did. Good luck with the choices

  15. We're a patient nation. Have a look at this article in the NY Times & you'll see we would also be late Electricity is such a problem, they've even had to switch off the light at the end of the tunnel We all realize the effort you're going to to facilitate these pins. Relax & wait it out...
  16. Europe's great - you can visit buildings that were last renovated before your home country was colonized I stayed here for a few months & had an awesome time. Another option remains good old South Africa. Call before you come & we'll put the lions back in their cages A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
