I think if you get out at lower than 1.8K (i.e, in an emergency) you're supposed to skip your main & go right for your reserve. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently went from 2.5 because of a ceiling. Thinking about it was worse than doing it. After all, the old guys love going out that low. They didn't cut the engine so that there was more forward speed on opening.

Is it mandatory that you carry such a heavy load that you only get two hours of sleep? It sounds counterproductive to me, but what do I know. I barely graduated from high school, but I did have a good time.

Yet, the world bows to a protest of a silly cartoon.

"The clock is ticking for our troops in the field. If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold responsible." What a load of crap. What does spinach, peanuts and visitors to Congress have to do with funding the troops? I believe that if someone takes such a bribe in order to coerce them into voting for the bill, it is criminal. Maybe not legally, but it is morally. If I had my way every single item would be a separate bill. There would never be any attachments.

It reallly doesn't matter. I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off of you in real life.

A warm bath, vintage Buck Owens on the stereo, a bag of gourmet pork rinds, and a 16 oz. Schlitz Malt liquor. God, I love the life of a Bohemian Redneck!

At least, most of us are letting you get there on your own. We aren't blowing you to hell prematurely.

In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The environmentalists just can't make up their minds. We went to plastic because, God forbid, we should cut down a tree to make paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The big box stores are actually doing it right. You use the boxes that product came in. They can be recycled. I've personally never liked the plastic bags. They have no rigidity. When you get home, half of the groceries are laying in the trunk or the back seat.

Re: [DrewEckhardt] Bryan Burke - SDAZ 270 Policy notes
Royd replied to OSOK's topic in Speakers Corner
On my 84th jump, another jumper, slightly ahead of me and above me, wanted to land in a predetermined spot and sashayed into me at 120 ft. off the ground. We both walked away with a good lesson. I took Scott Miller's course shortly afterward. I'm sure some of the things were taught in my initial AFF, but concentrating on awareness, flat turns, and half brake approaches has increased the knowledge of my canopy greatly. If we never realize the full capacity of our canopy, we tend to just hope to get to the ground safely. -
Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- edamame -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whats that? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's your problem. You need some real protein. Eggs and bacon with a couple pieces of whole wheat toast will keep you for about four hours.

I've never figured out what the attraction is for getting shitfaced and acting like an idiot , anyway. After a couple of beers I've got a buzz on and know that I'll be able to wake up in the morning, ready to go. I'm reminded of a recent boogie where a particular jumper got up, obviously still intoxicated, manifested for the helicopter jump, didn't show up for the briefing, and finally came running out one minute before lift off, putting his rig on, and had no clue about the proper procedures.

Who better to ask if you want an authoritarian answer?

You're a redneck if your home has wheels but your car doesn't.

Yea, that's pretty hot. Is there room for a couple of sheets of plywood and ten 2x4s?

I run into this kind of crap everyday. People spend more energy and time hiding crappy work than if they went back and fixed it right. But, hey, it gives me something to do.

This thread is just proof that liberals aren't about peace, love and tolerance. I sense nothing but hate. We see the same childishness in Congress.

If you are not a citizen of this country; as in,"your country" you have no right to complain at all. If you are, you could reject it, become a citizen of Mexico, sneak back across the border and get all of the govt. aid you wanted. I happen to be one of those six without health care. My solution is to do everything within my own power to take care of my health. One of those things is not to spend my life in resentment and anger because I don't have something that I feel is owed to me just because I exist. How much of your life do you think that you should be responible for? Food? $ 100 per wk. Clothing? 1000 per yr. Shelter? 1500 per month Transportation? 800 per month Health care? 1000 per month Burial? 7000 for life I'm tired of driving the same old tired truck, even though it runs. I think the govt. ought to force you to help me buy a brand new truck of my choosing.

Is the subfloor particleboard or plywood? What are you replacing it with? I say nothing less than 3/4 CDX.

For all of the "shortcomings" that you find offensive about this great country, I challenge you to find any country in the world, not just Europe, that doesn't have a sordid past and mulitiple existing problems, that, if you lived there, you wouldn't be bitching about.

I went into Sam's Club last week, and on the big tv screens on display were four FF skydivers. One had a tube and the other three were flying around it. It immediately caught my eye. Partly because I jump, and partly because it just looked like fun. I watched until they landed. Several people walked by as if they were zombies. Totally oblivious. I believe that most people are happy with the safe little world that they have created for themselves and don't want anything to disturb it.

Plus, you'd have to bust your hump to make minimum wage plus tips. Somehow, I think that's out of the question.

I always slow down when I see the hot blonde state trooper. She's a natural speed deterrent.

The bedding can't breath properly when the bed is made. It promotes an environment for little creepy crawlies. Serious.
