  1. 6010, 6011 are esentialy the same rod and are commonly used for the root passes, dirty metal, high penatration, out of postion welding and by farmers wanting to stick shit together. If you are holding something up and trying to stick to pieces of metal ogether in a hurry than 6010,6011 is the rod of choice. If the joint is something that needs to e of good quality I would tack together with 6010 and then run 7018. 7018 is a little more ductile and can take the stess of vibration and jarring with out cracking the weld. I disagree that laying in more passes is better. Your heat effected zone is huge when doing that and reduces the base metal strength. If you were refering to a root and a cover pass then never mind, you're spot on.. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  2. Assuming you are welding in the flat position with 1/8" 6013. DC+ between 110-140 amps should do the trick. When using 6013 make sure you metal is clean i.e. grind it to bare metal. When you are dragging the rod try to keep on the leading side of the puddle at the desired puddle width. Since it sounds like a fillet weld concentrate the heat on the thicker metal. If you have dirty metal and don't want to clean it use 6011 or 6010 depending if you have a DC machine. Someone said you should use 7018 and they are right! If using 7018 just throw he rod in your oven for 20 min or so while you are prepping weld joint. Pre heat your half inch just a little before you start laying rod..

  8. That is so awesome that you are thinking about a TI rating!!! I just received my TI this year and I am 5'10 175 lbs. While I'm larger than you I can describe some of the items that I have had to adapt too. 1st) 50% of my passengers are taller than me. I have found a little extra ground prep and keeping the passenger as relaxed as possible helps in the sky and under canopy. Unless they are huge, height has not been a major obstacle. 2nd) On average my passengers usually are about 10-20 pounds heavier than me. I have found weight translates to toggle pressure the heavier the passenger the higher the toggle pressure. That being said I see several passengers that match your build going on tandems every weekend which would be perfect for someone your size to handle. 3rd) John Mitchell has given good advice about having passengers help you land. I have found on the larger passengers if I don't have them help me land I get worn out quickly. The only draw back is if you do not spend the proper time on the ground teaching passengers how to land you run the risk of having them do something silly when it counts. Rule of thumb; take the time to brief your passengers regardless of how much pressure you are getting to get on the next load!! 4th) Taking people on their first skydive is very rewarding. You will learn how to adapt to all the issues that your size may expose you too. My advice, go through the USPA TI course and then make the determination if you want to continue.

  11. Hey Beth, um I mean Cindy.. I think I am coming down with the flu will you check my temp??? Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  12. Roo, I hate getting shots!! I come close to passing out every time I get one. So when it comes to the flu shot normally I say no fucking way. That being said, some of the Docs at work are saying that they are already seeing flu strains that this years years shot would help prevent. I am starting to think about getting one. The only thing I hate worse than getting a shot is getting sick... Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!

  15. Hmmm I wonder how many pack jobs it would take to pay off a $10,191,269,641,262.35 debt.... I'll take a government stance on this. Packing sucks so I will pay someone to do it and if they screw it up I will pay them more.... Thank God for Packers!!!! Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  16. Probably, but since it is here we need to stick to the topic of the forum and welcome Jason and encourage him. Way to go Jason! That's great! Nice. I love everything about what you are about sweetie. Keep on keeping on. Yeah! I know you are upset about the money and stuff but maybe if you start packing you'll be able to pay off your debt and make some more jumps. Don't worry about what the man is doing. Just keep jumping. We love that about you. LOL... Thats funny!!! I laughed my ass off when the thread was moved to the wrong spot. I thin kit should of stayed in the Bonfire. SC gets to heated....

  17. How are you coming to this conclusion? I think it's a fair assumption to make, that - most people do not borrow money without having the intention to pay it back. Yes, obviously it is possible to have problems arise from borrowing money, but seldom do people not pay their bills simply for the sake of not paying their bills...without cause and/or reason(s.) I also predict this thread is going to SC - in 3....2....1.... No, it went to general introductions and greets... Welcome to skydiving all!!! Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  18. Agreed!!! But the last one made us think about a lot of things..... Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!

  21. What the hell are our leaders thinking bailing out banks for 700 billion dollars? I am probable wrong in thinking this but does it make sense? Banks give credit to people that shouldn't have it. American people get credit that they know they shouldn't have. US government racked up multi trillion dollar debt with no way of paying it back. Blah Blah Blah Why the hell do we keep pouring more money into a train wreck that already happened? Are they trying to delay the wreck for the next 100 generations to deal with? Let the market crash, let we the people suffer for a while. Let us learn that we fucked up and start re-building the right way not compound the problem.. Thoughts???

  22. Is that Puke or spit??? Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  23. Farts are funny!! Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
  24. Thanks V. You win the prize. It ended up being a easy answer... Your "Phone a friend" nailed it!! "Note that, because the supply voltage on the op-amp is +/- 10V, that will limit the output, so if either of the voltages is outside of that range, they'll be clipped." The answer is 10 volts. The reason the SR and other crap was given is because it was a larger problem and I only posted part of it. I couldn't remember how the heck to figure max swing so I was stuck.... For the record: Valinda your the bomb!!!! Thanks Beth, yes I was desperate, I spent about an hour going in the wrong direction....... Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!!
