  1. Med kit required Slap? You spending too much time on the x-box? hehe cya Dave
  2. ow man that hurts my eyes, a bit like do it yourself lasik... Yup I'd jump it, but only for beer, boobies, or other incitement, and certainly not at any DZ where I was known, and not without shades. Think about how you are going to sell it when the inevitable downsize time comes......
  3. I ain't jumped since I left Texas. Weather and family commitments...you know what I mean. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. Thomas Jefferson
  4. You may be right Alex, I'm assuming the work is carried out by 'unauthorised' people/orgs. I'm basing my assumption on experience with rewriting firmware in camcorders....another long story/big gripe. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  5. Your gonna have good time Betsy. I did, the Texan hospitality is righteous. Be sure to visit Spaceland, SDH, and San Marcos. Theres plenty of dot commers around to look after you. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  6. Try hacking your DVD player eg this uk site http://www.dvdaddicts.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/hacks.htm These are normally simple chip relacements, or firmware rewriting...of course you void any warranties that might exist... I'm guessing something similar exists for US players... good luck. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  7. It hurts. No two ways about it, this was supposed to be bus ride to work...... This one went down in the southern north sea over some of the most benign water I've flown across. Early reports from the the helideck crew sugest a gearbox failure, at my best guess, around about 1000 feet, shortly after takeoff, but thats just what I'm hearing. The s76 (we call them 'Spirits') is a workhorse for us oilfield trash....I'm pretty sure this is an isolated incident. Condolences...
  8. Not that I know of Tony, I've tried this repeatedly over the years to no avail. Also, going the other way doesn't really work very well either. I have heard that peeps with canopus cards can get conversion add ons, but its not cheap. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  9. Dave, stop in by the beer store on the way home from the doctor's please..... and pour a cool one for any skydiver in the immediate vicinity.... To repeat what the good peeps are saying above, go see a sawbones, and take their advie big fella....

  12. I just ran a search for 'Dave Mckelvie' and got this page in Dutch........ daves anniversary This was a 16 way invitational that happened to be going on when I was in Spain. I'd literally just finished the Brit100 video, and posted it on the way to the airport. I ran into Dave Morris, who was celebrating his anniversary that night and he invited me along. Dave was a sector captain on Brit100, so I just had to do a world premiere in his honour......That evening rocked.......We partied the night away in a wee restaurant high in the pyrenees, then skydived like demons for the rest of the trip. Thanks for giving me the chance to remember this..... Haven't got a clue what the Dutch script says, I can only guess it was Roel Roelfsson that wrote it.....If anyone can translate, I'd be grateful....

  13. I heard it, it was awsome, hilarious, and kinda sad....I don't think I would have had the balls to play something like that over the PA....... "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  14. Still here Rich, But I leave tomorrow, for good . Don't know when I'll be back. Sorry we never got the chance to play, and you guys have a balloon this weekend, I definitely would have been up for that...... Hendrix rocked too..... SRV also leaned heavily on the likes of Buddy Guy, and Muddy Waters, but sort of took all these influences and threw into the Texas melting pot and produced his inimitable sound....But check out Buddy Guys 'Feels like Rain' to see where SRV might have gone, had he been given a chance...
  15. Honest, it was dumping water on us large style up on the North Westside...seems to be clearing from the east now though....It was dramatic.... "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  16. Hey Tam, If you have somehow managed to swap the weather systems between Scotland and Texas, then you won't get any complaints from me.....Its gonna come as a shock to the cowboys down here though...LOL....

  17. Stevie Ray sorely missed, a genius taken from us before his time..... "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  18. "Cross Canadian Ragweed" I didn't think you were into that sort of thing, and isn't that about 60 bucks an once...lol "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  19. Ah yes, but at least we have Stevie Ray Vaughan to keep our spirits up..... "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  20. Just a quick note to cheer up the folks in the rest of the world... Its pissing down here.......As one local boy put it.... "Well there's floodin' down in Texas.... All of the telephone lines are down And I've been tryin' to call my baby... .Lord and I can't get a single sound" "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
  21. Student status or not, it doesn't mean we can't or won't or shouldn't speak to them, or treat them as any other human being....
  22. Please tell me who she is? Nope, nyah, nyah, nyah..... I don't think she is a regular packer, if a packer at all, but she has been to spaceland a couple of times recently when I was there. She was there at the weekend.... I hottie, no doubt, a sweet looking slim wee thing about 5'8, 5'10, very fine, brown, shoulder length hair, a smile to die for......We chatted all to briefly couple of times in the passing.......seemed like another bonnie southern belle to me.....sigh...

  23. I'd still be climbing, whitewater canoeing, adventuring around the world, living life large and making great life long friends along the way. I'd have a lot more money though...... "I might bend my hat in the process, but I'd still teach that guy a lesson or two" David Lund......
