  1. Maybe other people have, but not me. I'm a good boy, got a clean mind. My other ride is the relative wind.
  2. Dude! You should have asked her what kind(s) of qualifications. Then answer with "I do have those qualifications. Didn't you note that during our meeting?" Now you'll hopefully have something during the meeting that you could "massage" in. The f@#$ed up thing "Interview Skills 101" always miss but may or may not be covered until you sign up for the 220 class is post interview PLEASE GIVE ME THE MOTHERFUCKING JOB, I'M DESPERATE skills. It could all have been a test man! Call her back, tell her your sorry. The loss of your dog, all the emotions, was screwing your head. And send her pictures of all the dogs in this post. My other ride is the relative wind.
  3. Dove! I've never seen this side of you. Where's the love baby? My other ride is the relative wind.

    Bone Bonds

    I can't believe there are folks complaining about free money. Put away some cash in the bank to save up for an Optik - get 2-3% and you have to wait a year. Give it to Bonehead - get double in 6 months! You're not like putting your money in Enron. If one's objective is to save up and buy an NVertigo, or HawkEye, fine. Go ahead and complain. Like Bonehead's going to help you buy their competitor's products. This is business, people. And business is war. And war means casualties. Now Jeanie, could you shorten the term on my BoneBond? I could use an Optik, a yellow one, in the next month. My other ride is the relative wind.
  5. Would you consider perma-loaning it to me? I would build a Quade alter and drink beer to pay homage. My other ride is the relative wind.

    I passed...

    All the more we should jump out of them! Congrats! Hey! Maybe you could offer your DZ service in exchange for jumps? My other ride is the relative wind.
  7. Those days are over... You don't have to sell your body to the night My other ride is the relative wind.
  8. Since the last few posts about still cameras transpired towards digital, I thought I'd like to hear your experience or opinions about film scanners. I'd like a dedicated scanner like the UMAX Powerlook 180 if it was OS X compatible. So, the HP 4570c with the transperancy adapter is more likely. I'm currently scanning photos using a UMAX Astra 1200s on my eMac with VueScan (scanner app) and a Microtech FireSCSI adapter. My other ride is the relative wind.
  9. Check out your last couple issues of Parachutist. There was an article about going digital, and the guy featured uses a Coolpix. I think you'll see the interface Quade's talking about. My other ride is the relative wind.
  10. I guess Reggie Hammel (48 hrs) got his payback. Actor Nick Nolte Faces DUI Charge. My other ride is the relative wind.
  11. Trying to get me jealous aren't you? My other ride is the relative wind.
  12. He's been programmed to suck up like a Hoover - Bucky to Sachel of Get Fuzzy comic
  13. Go to google or www.versiontracker.com and go a search on popup zapper or something like that. Good luck. My other ride is the relative wind.
  14. As of writing, I just recieved my Rebel X. I've got an EF 22-55mm zoom @ 4.5-5.6 f/stop, and tandem rubber band for it.
  15. The latest Rebel - 2000 Ti - does 2.5 per second. Now if you really want to play with power and don't mind the neverending chiroprator bills, check out the EOS 1v. It does 10, but you'll need some battery pack that weighs like a brick. Now if you want to go light weight, than you might have to go digital to save on the extra battery pack. And the EOS 1D, does 21 frames per sec, at 4.15 megapixels. If anybody wants to know what I'd like for X'mas, that be it.

    leg straps

    So I looked and I found it. Don't know if you subscribe to Skydiving. Check out the Aug 2002 issue (#253), page 5. There's an article on slipping harness and what to do about them. One of the solutions mentioned sewing a layer of webbing over the harness webbing that's slipping, so it makes that part thicker. The rubber band was another one. I'll try my best to scan the article and PM you on it. I should have bought the mega-mondo option - the largest scan it can handle is 8.5 x 11. My other ride is the relative wind.

    As you're getting him trained, make sure Freebag & Canopy Search & Rescue is part of the curriculum.

  19. According to http://www.usa.canon.com/html/cameras_slr/eosreb2spec.html In Continuous mode with AF locked, approximately 1.5 fps and in AI Servo AF mode, approximately 1.3 fps. My other ride is the relative wind.

    Talon 3

    It looks like an counterfiet Inifinity!
  21. Rebel for $150? I say get it. Especially if it's the Rebel 2000. Even if it's the G, Walmart's still giving them away. For that price, I wouldn't worry if the lens starts at 35mm - you can always find a 22mm and upwards later. I recently bought a Rebel X on eBay for $76 total. It didn't come with lens, so I got a EF 22-55mm USM for another $70. The big differences? From what I know about the X and the G is that the G has a built-in pop-up flash. And between the G and the 2000 is that the 2000 has like 5 or 7 auto focus points on the viewfinder as opposed to 3. I don't think the focus points are that important because you'll likely use manual more often. And being able to set the camera to full manual is a big plus as you get more and more experienced. I used to think that Rebels are kiddy toys - all plastic, rediculously light, and probably just won't last. My opinions changed after 3 hard openings (I've never flown camera). Around my DZ, Rebels are the only still cameras I've seen. And it's easy to see why - jack for a remote switch, light weight, compatible with all EF lens, inexpensive.

  23. Since you haven't got a Mac, why don't you send it to me so I can "test" it for you. My other ride is the relative wind.
  24. That is not the way to earn your tandem rating! My other ride is the relative wind.
