  1. No issues with my Z1. I've even replaced the shield after a year and a half. You'll get good ones and bad ones, but I also believe you must take care of your equipment. People that didn't like the Z1 seem to gravitate towards the Oxygen A3. But then I hear about some of the issues they have with them, but they stick to them. It's all a matter of preference, durability and style. The Z1 fits all my needs.
  2. Regardless of what's going on in Maine, I believe teachers are doing a great job and service. Thanks.
  3. Sounds like a lot of people I meet at the dz. Making new friends from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and any other country that skydivers call home, when they visit their home away from home. That's what I like about my dropzone.
  4. That's a very nice "good vibes" story. If only we can all have that kind of attitude everyday.

    Baywatch reunion

    Ah, yes. I can't wait. And Pamela will be there, too.

    Saddam's actions were intentional and deliberate. Yes, the United States is probably the greatest contributer to CO2 emissions, but it's not our intent to destroy or deliberately pollute the environment. Maybe protestors should concentrate more on anti-pollution.
  7. Why not? One poll outside the United States suggests that George W. Bush is as great a threat to world peace as Saddam is.
  8. It does, but it is rare. We have other things to talk about, like telling lies about our 4 way dive or who is doing who or whom. We also gather around the new meat and and tell other lies on our skydiving resume.

    Wow, it's been that long, huh? Let me check my log books to see how many jumps I've done since then.
  10. Hey skydiverbob, you might want to check your grammar - Hey hookitt, you might want to check your punctuation.
  11. Congrats! I'm sure you can fit a few cases of beir in the fridge!
  12. Cool. But I might have to make a road trip to Orlando before the year end.
  13. Thanks for the update. I hope all of you have a fast recovery.
  14. Just saw the advertisement. Tomorrow, 4pm PST.
  15. Yes, nice post. That quote would have been good enough.
  16. Bill, I must have missed you on Saturday. Was Marie load organizing the 16 ways? I was hanging, waiting for a "work" jump. In other words, I didn't jump. Couldn't fun jump or do the LO since I was doing Cat. D work-ups with Jay Stokes Sunday. The Saturday was definitely the better day as Sunday sucked and was cold. But still a good day to jump!
  17. Not the UN? How about an 18th Resolution some euro countries suggested? Wait, I just heard that another resolution won't work.
  18. War is ugly. War is also the last resort. With that said, war is the result of failed diplomacy. Where is diplomacy failing? In this case it would be noncompliance to the UN resolutions to include disarmament.
  19. Hope those guys are okay. Your old teammates?
  20. Hey! Thank you very much for the jump ticket! You know that it is against my policy to accept a jump ticket from newbies, but it is very much appreciated. (And timely, I might add.) You Rawk! You looked like you were have a great time, whether it was in the air with Mel or dirt diving with MJ. I'm glad that Grasshopper was able to get you all rigged up. It was also nice to see Vectorboy out there doing some freak stuff. Melanie was there, too jumping with the kids. I think she enjoys teaching the 2 way stuff "almost" as much as good 4 way. Elsinore Adrenaline is fortunate to have her as an asset. It was also nice that you got to meet Erin and Marie. They are excellent R-dub chicks who can teach ya some stuff, too. Anywho, looks like ya had a great time there in my hood. Perhaps you may even become a regular.
