Humm,not sure what Bri,s plan is all about.I could support this if it,s not "DZ POLICE".Open your rig so we can inspect your main kind of crap!

Crap.just cutaway and pull the reserve.(lol)You gotta be kidding me right?

Exactly,very good point!

Cool stuff!

Mentors Huh?Most of mine are dead!We can talk canopy stuff anytime you want?Safety is just part of the equation.

The hardest thing to learn might be our limits?We take chances,try new things.Holding back a little bit seems to work out most of the time.The baby step deal.It,s quite surprising how much you learn doing the basic canopy flying survival skills.

Hey,stuff happens.Alti breaks,we jumped on.Made many a jump without 1.Keeps the mind focused on time.Lately,been doing freestlye until 8,000.Been hitting it damn close,if not right on.Being dependent on an instrument that can fail will certainly hurt you sometime down the skydiving road.

Damn,as much as most people would like to separate this jerk form his life,you just can,t!!!!!!!!!Good Luck!

Hey,just put other things in your hands(not gonna say what I really want here(lol)).I worked wood(real wood projects) to get started in quitting the booze.It worked.

After the 3rd assault!(can,t believe I gave her 3 chances)I moved to my own apartment.Couldn,t get the trophy case scheduled to be moved.We took a month break(me,for work,her for her divorce freedom).We got back together for 3 weeks(where is my cabinet)OH,I sold it!(ex-hubby bought it for $150)Nice,when were you gonna tell me about it.Asked if she would consider paying me!Of course she said no and that "I abandoned it"."Just ask the cops".Can,t believe I REALLY LOVED HER?,Let alone cared about her.This could put me in jail for a year and cost me $2,500 big ones!I won,t back down no matter what!The truth resides with me.Hope the court can see that?

Seems my ex-Girlfriend thought she could have me arrested for trespass and stalking!After 2 weeks and no key sent to me(didn,t think it would happen),I went to confront them.(7:30 ish)Where is my key?Mailed to you(oh really,why don,t I have it?)She gets angry and trys to get me to enter her apartment(not stupid!)He holds her back from hitting me.I think it,s time to get the hell away from this crazy woman and split(everything intact)At 11:30 police knock on my door to arrest me(what?)(your kidding me right?)No,no rights read to me,no paperwork until i,m booked in jail!Humm,seems she "lied" to the magistrate and got the cops to arrest me Illegally.Her word against mine kind of shit!Fri nite,sat-mon afternnon cooling my heels in jail.Has she gone nuts?Got a very good lawyer on tues.No history of any kind of violence against any woman in my past!Never ever considered it!Humm,I,m gonna sue the bitch for "False Arrest" and all monetary damages.She needs to be taught a lesson,big time.If I lose round 1,i,m gonna appeal.Some gf,huh?

It,s all it took to forget an ex friend(lover).Had real nice freefall and canopy ride(swoop) on my last jump this weekend.Wish it wasn,t so hot!Looking forward to some good clean freestyle fun and safe canopy swwops in the future months.

Yikes indeed!

Some us can,t afford insurance.Have to use that thing between your ears and listen to that little voice that says,"be sure you can handle this".Don,t make big changes(large canopy to extremely small),follow the "logical" progression.Watch the wind,(I call it listening to the wind)watch the clouds,(I call it watching the clouds)(lol)for thunder heads.THINK MUCH!

Don,t ya just hate it when your gf for the last 18 months turns out to be a habitual liar and a master manipulator.Can,t have it her way,see ya.That,s ok,she was just a cheap lay anyway!True!

Not yet,sounds like I should read the whole series.Harry Potter(learns to skydive),(designs his own parachute),(runs his own dropzone) and gets all the good looking women?(lol)Have fun.

No,JUST set the current line length(trim).My current canopy had 1 hop & pop,then right to terminal.Has exactly the same(or reasonably very close trim)as the day it finished being built.Then again I check my trim every so many jumps.DO U?

Are wing loading police a good Idea?Humm,a tough question for sure.Busting people(low timers) is worse than busting an instructor,jumpmaster,experienced jumper for giving bad(misleading) info.Hey,most of us have taken chances with what we know,think we know and have experienced.Just suggesting that a person might not be ready for what they can afford can get you laughed at.I have real problems when it comes to this.You educate the best you can.If they don,t ask(it,s their funeral)

Hey,some people get really bored.Hopefully,just passing on info and good news isn,t considered being a whore?(lol)

Very Cool.

Ya!

Hey,we all wish we knew everything and more about computers.Your the lucky 1(guess you know that already)(lol).Keep a stiff upper lip and the other thing!(lol).

Cool,ya know as long as it does the job.A camera helmet and sony(whatever)seems like too far away for me right now.Good luck and safe filming,picture taking,

Finally,a real paycheck after 1.5 years back here in Virginia.(Low pay right to work state)In other words,you will work for nothing and like it(lol).Next on the list of things to buy(Computer).Complete with CD burner and DSL.No more coming to library to post.No more storing pictures on somebody else,s computer.It,s about time.Figure I should be able to buy a computer in the next couple of months(easy)(maybe?)

Free thinking thought still lives.
