  6. OK, it's getting real now. Trying to figure out what all I need to do this week with only 4 sleeps left at home. I forgot to bring home the screen door for the trailer to get it fixed, I need to buy a card table, get an extra battery, check flashlights/head lamps, fill the third propane tank. Work is swamped and I haven't ever taken a full week off from this job and don't really have anyone who backs me up. I need to get some skydiving stuff taken care of (jumpsuit repairs, audible batteries), some steps/boards for the new truck to prevent the lower-level paint from getting all chipped up from the dirt roads...what else?

  13. How many what? Fingers or jump tickets? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Thanks Q. Just to clarify what we're doing here, it sounds like we're doing away with the provision that allows non "working" tandem jumps without a USPA TAN rating, i.e. whereas a guy could previously do "non-ISP" tandems with only the manufacturer's rating, he'll now need both. It sounds like USPA is shooting for certification and rating fees from those last few holdouts while simultaneously streamlining their ability to shut down an unsafe TI without as high a risk of legal action e.g. a few examples that have been discussed vigorously on this site. I guess I don't have a problem with either of those goals, as they do not (and hopefully will never) affect me or any of the guys I work with. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  15. John, I just want you to know that I'm incredibly sorry about whatever happened to you as a child that caused you to think of such things all these many decades later. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. Is it? Can you show me this? If so I wonder why I keep paying for renewal. It was linked in my first reply in this thread, that you replied to. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. You could always try to not suck...or are you saving that for your 1000th? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. I'm assuming they don't meant that the way they wrote it, i.e. that a USPA member will need ratings to ride front-side. It'll take a month or two to get the actual meeting minutes online, but going on what I assume they mean, I don't see a huge deviation other than for punitive measures. A UPT rating is considered current without annual recertification as long as the USPA TAN rating stays current. The big difference will be if UPT notifies someone their rating has been suspended/revoked, at which point USPA will no longer sanction their jumps. This just clarifies that, right?

  19. Dark-skinned Prosperous living It depends on who I hear it from. Bad teeth Cultural answers to these questions will vary by where you are and who you are asking. A Columbian will likely answer differently from a Russian who will answer differently from an Iranian who will answer differently from a Canadian. And none of them would be any more or less correct than the others. When the answer can vary wildly and yet remain valid, the question's only use is in what it says about the person/culture being asked, not the person/culture being asked about.

  20. I wouldn't say it was an assumption. The UPT TI checklist says, "Recertification, every 365 days (if USPA TAN-I rating is not current):" It's available here. I haven't seen whatever rule change is being discussed, but I'm guessing USPA just wants an easier way to yank ratings, i.e. if the mfg yanks it, it's gone. I just hope this doesn't affect the competitive side of the business. Since coming off of waivers, we've gotten lots of options for tandem canopies, with some much better than others. The two major manufacturers prefer that we not explore other (better) options to their canopies, and that has the potential to suck if they start yanking ratings to force exclusive use.

  21. I've been absolutely convinced I was about to die, but I never actually done it. That's one task for which my habit of procrastinating seems to have come in handy. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Brilliant! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. As hot as she is, I'll overlook the fact that she's from down south. It appears I need to make an addition to my "list". Oh, and "hot & sexy sheep & goats do" what? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. No there isn't. It's all part of the same problem, and that's where there's a disconnect. The adherents of the so-called "religion of peace" aren't speaking up against the violence, which implies that they are either cowards or sympathizers. Either way, they don't deserve any respect. I'll give more respect to someone who holds his tongue than to someone who wags it in support of bigotry. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. You know the "Bam!" "Crack!" "Biff!" things for Batman? What would the corresponding sound effects for these toys be? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
