    The argument was: If gays can get married, then why can't brothers and sisters? They can in West Viginia, Arkansas and certain counties in Kentucky Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Forgot to mention, when I checked into replacement costs for the dry cells, they said it was about $3800.00. Then they said that it would not need them. But batteries being batteries, you know that they will only last about three years and then need replacement. Figure that into your budget. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    I took a Prius on a twenty mile test drive last week. I'm impressed. It won't win any drag races and won't pass very many people on the interstates, but it didn't get in anybody's way either. The transmission will take some getting used to (it doesn't have gears or shift points, you just kind of feel the trans tighten.) and you can sometimes start driving before the gas motor comes on, but overall it is a very well thought out design. I'll probably buy one next time I need a car. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

    Rookie rigger here. I was wondering if anyone had a rig inspection checklist I could look at and use as a starting point in making my own. Just curious. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Uh, when I got my PVT ticket, I was drilled over and over to NEVER leave the cockpit with the engine running. Although it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome of this particular incident, I found that item to be a glaring omission of common sense. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Yep. As long as it is maintained to their home country standards. The only tricky part is knowing what standards the home country has. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

    Last sept. I crossed over to the dark side and bought a dual processor G4, ( the plug and play video capability was what clinched the deal. After three different drivers on my Dell, I still couldn't get my Sony camera to work with it.) with Final Cut, superdrive, etc.. I haven't looked back since. Waiting for the IRS to send me a refund so I can get the 23" hi-def screen. Enjoy.

    I'd use shrink tubing if I knew where to get some. Any ideas? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

    You would think that a network like ESPN2, who routinely carries events like Poker and Skate board games (nothing wrong with either of those) and Fantasy card games, would be interested in covering skydiving events. At the very least it would seem logical that they would cover the nationals and world games. But until we can get an audience of at least a million consumers, we won't get any air time.

    I've been to both. The Skyventure tunnel is a far superior simulator when compared to Flyaway. The air speed in the tunnel, the lack of a dead spot and the open design give a more accurate simulation of freefall than the older design of Flyaway. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.
