    Please see the attached public service announcement...... g While painful practical jokes can be fun, duct tape has much better uses while moving. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Does it involve duct tape? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm assuming that since I'm putting the camera in a DBox, I can only use an original size battery (not an extended life that's 0.5" wider). They are lithium ion (NP-FF51 is standard, the extended life would be NP-FF71), and I've found generic versions of the battery and 1 hour chargers on Ebay. Are there any issues with using non-Sony batteries/chargers? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I have 3 reserve rides and really no idea who packed the mains, probably me for at least 2 of them. I do know who packed those 3 reserves though...Larry packed the first one, I packed the other 2. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    We had pretty much decided on Gia buying a new, moderately sized tent for the boogie instead of me shipping the Tent Majal down there, but if bigger is always better.... Wait - that thing would look like an open invitation for others to bother us. I think we'll stick with the current plan. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've held TWS#2 for a few years now Jim. Do you think I'm gonna relinquish it because it's a different group of people giving me a hard time? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    And every time I see your avatar, I think of a baboon's butt. Regardless of what you think, I'm digging the new helmet. Good for tandems, great for AFF and fun jumps. I just bought a camera yesterday to put on the side (after which I probably won't wear it on tandems). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I thought so too...that's what makes the other guy's expression seem so funny (to me). Here's another one from that day, with a MUCH bigger student. His eyes are closed but it's a similar expression. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Don't I *always* wear socks with my Teva's? Roy was out Wednesday night and crashed at my place then went home Thursday evening and came back Friday. If you'd been out any of those 3 days, you'd have seen him. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Hey, I ain't too proud to control foot odor. It's better than most skydivers with their nasty-ass stank Teva's! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Or does the guy on the right look like he's on a totally different skydive than the one my student and I are on? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    My current digital camera is 0.786 mpx, so 3 mpx is a marked improvement. Thanks. I'd forgotten to even check whether a larger battery would fit in the Dbox. I think I read that the batteries for the PC-330/350 were different than those used for the other PC series, but I don't know how different size-wize. I'm assuming I can buy a rapid charger of some sort so I can charge a battery while it's not in the camera, in which case two original batteries would probably make more sense than one larger battery.

    I saw a new (not refurbished) HC42 yesterday for $475, so $449 isn't that great a price for refurbished. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Shit. I guess I should have read this a half an hour ago. Here's hoping I don't have the same trouble with the refurbished camera I just bought, or if I do, it manifests itself immediately while still under warranty. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I just bought a PC350 off of Ebay. The price was right (I hope!) for a "factory refurbished" sealed box from Sony with all the accessories and a 90 day parts/labor warranty. Tomorrow I get to order a bigger memory stick, a longer life battery, a diamond 0.3 lens, a D-Box to put it in on my Rat-Hat, a Cam-Eye, and some tapes. Not being completely familiar (or the least bit familiar) with D-Box mounting, am I going to need an L-bracket in addition to the box? A strap of some sort? What else am I forgetting?

    Hmmm...when's Sony gonna come out with something along these lines? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I've heard there's a library there. You could just relax and quietly enjoy a nice book. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Why is that? Weight? Width? Access? I'm looking to buy a camera right now to mount on my Rat Hat and am considering an HC90, but I'll mostly be using it for inside video (AFF & fun jumps) so top mounting isn't really an option.

    I always wanted to open a multi-purpose facility that included a bar, a hair salon, and a laundromat, entirely staffed by attractive lingerie-clad women, located right across the street from a major military base. OK, so that's not particularly relevant. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    From the previously linked website. The method by which they are formed would seem conducive to a drop in temperature and possibly a color change as well (subsiding cooler air containing larger water particles) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
