Hey you guys, I'm real disappointed I can't make it , its a long story so don't even ask, but please take good care of my most excellent friend an 'newbie itinerant' skydiver, AggieDave. He really is one in a million. A word of advice tho, don't be surprised if he builds the biggest bonfire Arizona has ever experienced.

Its a little known fact that Scotland has more DZs per head of population than England.......Go figure??? Also at the last World Team event in Thailand, there were proportionally more Scots than English on the teams (again, adjusted to show representation per head of population), the last Brit100 (which was run by a Scotsman) also showed a disproportionate amount of Scots on the team......which is probably why it was so successful, the first Brit100 didn't have nearly as many Jocks on it. So we Scots (as proven by the overwhelming evidence of my statistical data) must be inherently a nation of better skydivers than the English, regardless of weather. Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah...... Btw the French were even further down the league than the 'Rot Boeuffs'.............But Patricks whacker team kicked some serious ass.

Ummm. I used to have a little pin on my old still mount (which I made myself), which lined up with a recess on the tripod plate (the plate that carries the mounting thread boss) on the bottom of my EOS. Check the base of your SLR, they are a common thing on decent SLRs. Alternatively you can 'jig' the camera on the mount by lining it up and fixing guides onto the camera mount. So I had consistent mounting and alignment without the quick release plate you talk about. They are neat though....I know you Trey, you are just a big ole gear hound , and a lover of gadgets. A lot of the fun I've had over the years was actually making my own mounting systems, some worked well, others not so....But then again I'm an 'injunear', and like to fiddle with things. I even made my own 'cameye' about 18 months before they were comercially available.... Cya D Gravity Rat # 37 Remember, we can do everything right, and still get hurt.

This in my mail this morning froma a friend in Kazakstan. Texans, its okay to substitute truck for scooter..... THE BEER SCOOTER How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night of drinking and thought: 'How did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the bar to your home. The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer scooter. The beer scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased out to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has branched out since the decrease in the worship of the Roman pantheon and bought a large batch of these magical devices. The beer scooter works in the following fashion: The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring gland" begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many sub-contractors detects the pheromone and sends down a winged beer scooter. The scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a trans-dimensional portal. It is not cheap to run a beer scooter franchise, so a large portion of the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment. This generates the second question after a night out: 'How did I spend so much money?' Beer scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be Responsible for 90% of all UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injuries). An undocumented feature of the beer scooter is the destruction of time segments during the trip. The nature of Trans-dimensional portals dictates that time will be lost, & seemingly unaccounted for. This generates the third question after a night out: 'What happened?' With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the EMIT (Embarrassing Moments In Time) add on, that automatically removes, in descending order, those parts in time regretted most. Unfortunately one person's EMIT is not necessarily the EMIT of another and quite often lost time is regained over a suitable period. Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles cause the scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending the passenger to the wrong bedroom often with horrific consequences. With recent models including a GPS, Bacchus made an investment in a scooter drive-thru chain specialising in half eaten kebabs and pizza crusts. Another question answered!! For the family man, beer scooters come equipped with flowers picked from other people's garden and Thump-A- Lot Boots. These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tip-toe, you are sure to wake up your other half. Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the ring-barked shins. The final add-in Bacchus saw fit to invest in for some scooters is TAS (Tobacco Absorption System). This explains how one person can apparently get through 260 Marlboro Lights in a single night.

"Why the fook do people live in England, btw? " Its cos the neighbours are just sooo cool.......really nice people , great beer and spirits, cool scenery, purty DZs, but crap at football "How hard is it to get US residency" A 5 year visa for me cost my company about 2500 quid, and a quick trip to Mexico- which is not as cool as it sounds..... "'Friday evening to jump at the DZ'" I was jumping at my local DZ here in Houston after work last night, I've snukked out at lunchtime for a lob too. Come to Texas Emma, Florida is getting real hot right now..... Cya D Gravity Rat # 37 Remember, we can do everything right, and still get hurt.

Okay, I'll check some specs fer ya.... For the record, I've made a commercial film with a PII 266, 128 meg ram, and two 8 gig drives. It was fiddly but it worked. I would recommend an ADS Pyro card to start with. pyro card Get one without the Premiere software, and read your PM..... If you decide you like editing and want to delve deeper, you can spend more money on better cards, but for general DZ work and just funking around this will give you some fun. Happy editing bro Cya D Gravity Rat # 37 Remember, we can do everything right, and still get hurt.

Man, you got all the sympathy I have to spare, here ya go... It must be hard touring with the PPPB swoopy thing, and all those tiresome trips to the Keys. Sell me your lifestyle, and you'll never have to worry about tips again. BTW I don't get tips either, I'm just overpaid........Like, I wish.

Hey Gale, very valid points on safety and responsibility, but just about every body relies on somebody else for things that are expected to save their lives. What about the mechanic that changed your tyres, or serviced your brakes. The guy cleaning windows up on the 13th floor (if it exists..). The driver of that car that just passed you in the other direction..... The electrician that wired up your shower... Don't mean to put 'the fear' on you or anything, but think about all the things that could hurt you in everyday life as well......Kinda puts things into perspective huh?

Umm, I ran into a bunch of those geek freaks the first time I went to Spaceland, they were having a flail fest and calling it a record attempt...hehe joking folks, only joking.....I spose Carbonezone (s) were the first ones to mention it.....But Zennie was the first DZ.com person I jumped with. I was very shy and quiet that weekend, and didn't really come out of the geek closet till later. Plus, I was jet lagged to hell and back.
