We have not put much though into that. It would crush my wife to have a child for a time, only to reliquish him/her to someone else. We have thought about doing the Big Brother/Sister thing.

Where can I get one of those for my house. Can't have kids with my wife and can't afford to adopt right now I would gladly accept a child before seeing another one dumped in a trash can. That just breaks my heart. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Copy that. the DZ has coaches who qualify with balls for diferent speeds. I wouldn't even think about taking one out on my own (yet). "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Thanks DanG. With any luck, I'll be headed your way for some fun jumps in May. I'll be working on it in the mean time. Our DZ has some "calibrated" tennis balls to coach jump with. Perhaps I (and the folks I jump with) need a fall rate reference for a few jumps. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Protrac is true airspeed. I see on other threads the same issue regarding fall rates being discussed. Perhaps I need to try a looser fitting jumpsuit to open up my range. Short of throwing out a drouge, I don't think I can get much slower and still be in control. "Always do right.

I seem to wind up low every once in a while and have been told that I fall fast. My Protrac says that I average between 112-115 in FF. Is this fast for RW? Should others be trying to fall faster to keep up rather than my trying to slow down? Seems to me that manuvering is much easier when falling faster. What speed should I be aiming for while doing non-competative RW? "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

Welcome to the club. You seem happy about it so congratulations. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

On some sage advice of others, I am buying a house in Orlando in an area will allow me to avoid I-4 all together. I was going to buy in the Deltona but would have to commute via -4 to get to work. What little time I do have on -4 was not pleasant. I'm not sure what a toll on the road will accomplish other than to pay for upgrades. Concur with prior post, light rail is the way to go.

ROFLMFAO I totally didn't see the "T" hiding behind the railing at first and read "She swallows..." Awesome billboard though. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

This was posted here some time ago but, in preparation for the upcoming Olympic games in China I thought it would be a good idea for some of us to learn a few key phrases. For best results, read aloud. English to Chinese: 1) That's not right.........................Sum Ting Wong 2) Are you harboring a fugitive?....Hu Yu Hai Ding? 3) See me ASAP..........................Kum Hia Nao 4) Stupid Man...............................Dum Gai 5) Small Horse..............................Tai Ni Po Ni 6) Did you go to the beach?...........Wai Yu So Tan? 7) I bumped into a coffee table........Ai Bang Mai Ni 8) I think you need a face lift............Chin Tu Fat 9) It's very dark in here....................Wai So Dim? 10) I thought you were on a diet.....Wai Yu Mun Ching? 11) This is a tow away zone...............No Pah King 12) Our meeting is scheduled for next week....Wai Yu Kum Nao? 13) Staying out of sight.....................Lei Ying Lo 14) He's cleaning his automobile.........Wa Shing Ka 15) Your body odour is offensive.........Yu Stin Ki Pu 16) Great!.........................................Fu Kin Su Pa Have a nice day

Seriously? Like WOW! That kid is good. Nicely done indeed. I'm going to go throw my guitar away now "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

I drove into work to find that we have been given the day off after P.T. Sweet! Sounds like a round of golf then get the car ready for the drive to Orlando this weekend. No jumping though, rigs in for repack and the spouse wants me to concentrate on finding a house. Tunnel time? I think yes. "Always do right.

I thought Jackson Hole, WY had the largest vert drop. If it's not, it sure must be close. Nice pics by BTW. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

So they don't GAIN weight, they LOSE it? I'm not sure I want to reopen this conversation with my wife. I'll let her think she was right. It's what I usually do anyway I didn't sleep last night either. Too busy thinking about a way to stop cars (that don't already have Onstar) remotely and safely (to end police chases). The weirdness continues... "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68

I guess I didn't look at from this perspective, thinking the shell was impermeable. Sort of makes sense now. I can sleep soundly tonight. Thanks! "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" ~Samuel Clemens MB#4300 Dudeist Skydiver #68
