if the weather was good, instead of asking what you did this weekend, your co-workers ask how many jumps you did. skydivingweather.com and the national weather service's forecast and winds aloft information are bookmarks. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

the times i've had sinus problems it's pressure in my ears and/or right under my eyes. after a couple of jumps when i got under canopy where i had to very quickly open my face shield to hold my nose and blow to relieve the pinful pressure. i've started taking claratin or another strong decongestant before i leave the house for a day of jumping. this really helps for when my allergies are kind of acting up but i'm not fully sick. if i'm fully sick i'll stay on the ground. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

had a dream last night that the plane wasn't flying for some reason and i sang the first line to lighten the mood. i worked on the rest this morning, it's slow at my work. so FWIW to the tune of that old Toys R Us commercial: "Oh i wanna go up cuz i'm a skydiving kid. A million jumps to choose from that i can play with. From rounds and stacks to fast spinning tubes, in the biggest playgroung there is. Gee wiz, how i wanna go up, cuz baby if i did i could be a skydiving kid." cheers diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Price of Gas Ratio to Price of Jump Ticket
countzero replied to skinnyflyer's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i don't work at a DZ however. jet fuel is about $5.50 currently. and to answer your question better. you'd have to take into account other variables. for example X amount of fuel is used to get a super otter carrying 20 jumpers to 13,000 ft. in 7mph winds with 15 mph uppers. if my current $20 jump ticket went up a couple of dollars i'd pay it. if it jumped to $50 i'd jump alot less but i'd still jump. i'm too addicted to stop. diamonds are a dawgs best friend -
Quote watching the neighborhood children play in the parking lot. /reply] how stupid can people be. parking lots are not playgrounds, ever! the beating can most likey be attributed to a combination of ignorance, alcohol, mob mentality, and territoriality. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

yes. pat was a female. there was a scene where she kisses the blonde character played by dana carvey and she tilts her head the way women do when getting kissed. and i didn't overanalyze things for this info. i learned from one of those VH1 Totally 80's shows as told by the lady who played pat. if it's on TV it must be true. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

how many people jump at your DZ?
countzero replied to virgin-burner's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
not counting staff i can come up with 60 off the top of my head that jump fairly regularly. and i'm sure there's more i'll meet once i have my own gear and can afford to jump more regularly myself. diamonds are a dawgs best friend -
Got a better Idea ever thought about Installing a Big Ass Train Horn. I had a buddy do that no shit. It was Loud as Hell I tell ya. It almost made other people wreck it was so damn loud. yes there are 130 decible horns available. i extend left lane courtesy to most people. unless it's a rice burner punk kid riding 6 inches from my bumper, then i'll polish road block all day long. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

things that helped me land softer: watching others land, having others watch me land and getting feed back, asking more experienced jumps for tips on landing, and being sure to take a breath and relaxing while on final so i wouldn't tense up and brace for impact (thus not finishing my flare). diamonds are a dawgs best friend

crappy weather here so no jumping. none the less my weekend was fun and productive- saw skinny puppy on sat. and finished painting my kitchen on sun. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Quote So, my question is this, can changing the speakers make a difference in this? reply] yes, an upgrade will give you a speaker made of better materials (most likely your stock speakers have paper cones) and with better technical characteristics like sensitivity and frequency response. also adding some dampening material will help- less road noise in the car the less volume needed to overcome it. check out diymobileaudio for lots of info and reviews about car audio that ranges from great sounding budget stuff to high dollar multiple speaker and amp systems. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

also check half price books. there isn't a store in CO but they have a great online seach and shop service. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

too true, back in my waiting tables days i made loads of cash. too bad i wasn't a jumper then and blew most of it on partying. you could become a packer at your DZ. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

being as i'm still looking for my own gear and haven't stated learning CRW yet, i don't think i'll be doing any night CRW anytime soon. but when i do get the chance safety will be the top priority. thanks for the replies. i really enjoy reading and learning from other peoples skydiving stories. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
