A couple of empty 9mm casings fit almost perfectly in your ears... Make good ear plugs.

Europro makes a machine that is table top and has all metal gears. You can't hardly break it. You can break needles... I doubt you are going to find anything that will sew Type 8 webbing without going big. I have a couple of Brother machines I got at Wal-Mart and I sew a lot. I make freefly pants, tubes and other stuff and have never had an issue with this $100 machine. I know I need a bigger one but I sure like the convenience. I also found this site that sells some VERY tough thread that fits in regular machines. http://www.americanhomeandhabitat.com/catagories/fabric.htm

Glad to hear you are liking it! Sam and I need to get down there but I have been very busy. maybe week after next...

How are you liking the canopy? How many jumps do you have on it now?

We did one of these at the AOT Boogie and Ramon held on to Gemini and I and stood up. Gemini's Protrack said 168 for the second half of the skydive. We we moving!

You might want to make sure your oven is calibrated correctly. I know two guys that lived in a rent house that burned the buckles off their Boneheads in the oven. The thermostat was a couple of hundred degrees off. This is common on older ovens!

Do you feel comfortable taking a gripped exit? If you do you can keep them close till you get to terminal and you won't get so much separation.

Thanks for the info. I am glad he is in good spirits! You might ask him and see about setting up a PayPal account so it would be very easy to help out!

If you watch the video from last years Nationals in Eloy (Omniskore) there was one team that actually flew in and climbed on. It was totally cool. I don't know but it looked like the guy on his belly was going really fast... The footage is excellent and will give you some fun ideas!

I think Wings are good containers. Like you I jump Reflexes. You should check out the new Viper from Trident (The company that bought Reflex out) They sure look sweet! http://www.bombermfg.com/

Please don't take offense! Bruce will be VERY happy just to have an Otter. he just has to bitch about something...

This week-end (9-21&22) Oscar will be at Texas Skydiving Center (Lexington) doing a little coaching. If you are just getting started doing camera work it might be a good chance to talk to a pro. They will have the regular Otter from Spaceland so it should be a great time! Big party Saturday night!

Lime and vodka... Done! Per popular request I am leaving the everclear soaked fruit out this time. Too many people had bruises like Beth! There will also be the normal disco ball and laser light show! We need to get Hardin to DJ again!

A slow Otter beats a Cessna ANY day. The thing you won't be able to beat are the jell-o shots Saturday night!

The video seminar is with "Oscar" Oczkowski. Not to shabby of a videographer! It should be a blast!
