Amen to that! "T'was ever thus."

Nah, it really ain't the weed....just comes from gettin' stoned and tooth-buttin' the bong. "T'was ever thus."

Marijuana is dangerous! Science has proven that if you mix just 1 joint's-worth of weed with 6 lbs. of melted butter and inject it into your veins, it could kill you! "T'was ever thus."

Yeah, power dumps will do that....pace yourself, for more endurance and a better finish. "T'was ever thus."

Two sons and one daughter, only my daughter expressed an interest and when she turned 18, I set her up with a tandem. She loved it and wanted to continue but ended up getting married and has two little ones now. If she ever decides to get back into it, I'll support her the whole way....even help with her first "bankruptcy starter kit" (rig). "T'was ever thus."

....on an amp, that goes to "11"! "T'was ever thus." -
New Paint Job on our Lovely C-182.
kschilk replied to Unstable's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Bein' a former Navy AMS (airframe mech), I can honestly tell you that they don't paint aircraft, just for looks. I'd suggest that if you like shiny & silver, you apply some "country chrome" (silver paint). Actually, not just any paint can be used...especially primer. Some paints & primers contain metals that will actually promote corrosion, defeating the purpose. Cleaners and polishes are the same, exercise caution when applying to aircraft. "T'was ever thus." -
23 Percent of British Think that Winston Churchill is a Myth

I alwayth thought he wuth a mythter but hey, ya' jutht never know. "T'was ever thus." -
Attaching a bra to the inside of the Pro-Tec, makes for some handy ditter pockets too! Our plane also has a tampon dispenser, for those impromptu static-line jumps. We're on the cuttin' edge, here at Skydive Appalachia! "T'was ever thus."

Imagine that... Doesn't do much for the 'full face' option, though...

Ya' gotta' earn it. Ya' can't put a stripe on your skid-lid....'til you've left one in your shorts, to match it. "T'was ever thus."

Nah, he didn't...boy, is great gramma pissed! "T'was ever thus."

What Fashion Stlye/Trend do you wish would come back??

Chain maille & bellbottoms. "T'was ever thus." -
I'm afraid the vast majority of the riders out there, oughta' be usin' trainin' wheels anyway! Many of the "superbikes" out there are fast but tend to handle like a dishrag, at higher speeds. When a kid has a 750cc or bigger for a first bike, things usually don't end well. Ya' used to see a lot of that, in the military. "T'was ever thus."

With all that, the stock alternator may not be able to keep up....especially if you're doing mostly short runs. Back in the day (before the automatic lights, headlight timers, computers and misc. garbage)....they used to say that it took 12 miles of highway driving, just to recharge the battery to where it was, before starting the car. I don't have figures but I'm bettin' it takes a lot more miles, these days. Consult a reputable shop and I'd suggest, someone that's familiar with RVs. "T'was ever thus."

Chances are, the battery is shot...probably a bad cell. Problem is, something else may have caused the battery to go bad....could be the alternator also but from the sounds of it, it's been running almost exclusively, on the alternator. All vehicles nowadays have some amount of "parasitic drain" on the battery....things like the computer and accessories that are powered, even with the key off. Any reputable garage or battery shop can do all the necessary tests on the battery, alternator and check for excessive parasitic drain, quickly and reasonably cheap. I recommend that you don't skimp on a battery, get the highest CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) you can afford...especially if you're in a cold weather climate. If you've added much in the way of lights and/or accessories, you may want to increase the output of your alternator. Some can be adjusted or modified. "T'was ever thus."

I thought sex was the "big game". "T'was ever thus."

I'm in nw PA and I've seen that here....it's rare but it's happened twice, this winter. I don't know the science behind it but it only happens during the "warm" snows....might be like a temperature inversion thing. "T'was ever thus."

Yeah, I bet he hated that job....having to do that every weekend! "T'was ever thus."

These days, with our economy.....pretty much anything this side of Ethiopia. If the dollar gets any weaker, it may as well be printed on Charmin....at least we could use it for something! "T'was ever thus."

I've been using a full-faced helmet, since jump #13. I'd say open-faced, while training but after that, it should be up to the individual.Full-faced helmets pose far less problems than most goggles, especially if you wear eyeglasses. I made most of my AFF jumps, blinded by fogged glasses and goggles....kinda' hard to fly, by ear. "T'was ever thus."
-
We probably look pretty small, from way over there! "T'was ever thus."

For Whom will you Vote in the Presidential Election
kschilk replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Look on the bright side - it will be better than what we have now. ....and so would a tsunami. "T'was ever thus." -
Yep. We've been feeling that brand of pain for the past 7 years. Add another decade on and you're about right... That's closer.....still a couple of centuries short, though. Yep "T'was ever thus."
