Yes drinking involved.

------------------------------------------------------ I think you are paying the blind kids in China too much. Or are they union.

I'll be gettin' there on Wednesday, provided my leave request goes through as planned. I don't forsee any issues, but you never know what might come up in my profession. --------------------------------------------------- I think you mean blow up in your profession.

Not positive, no, but nothing felt wrong with the brake lines, and nothing seemed wrong with them either, on later examination. On the other hand, this was the fifth jump of the day, and that's not out of line with how many jumps I do, so I don't have a good way to explain the sudden arm weakness either. And my right arm is my dominant arm, which means it should be stronger than my left. I didn't think much of this at the time -- just chalked it up to a long day of jumping -- but, perhaps I should go get my arm checked out. It feels fine now, except for some soreness. But anyway, thanks, everyone, for the replies. If it does ever happen again, I will try to even up my hands, and do the best PLF I can. ---------------------------------------------------- I've had my slider work down a little over my slinks and brake line ring and that prevented me from flaring that brake line. First time was when I was short and just coming in straight from about 1500 ft. with no toggle input until I flared. Left side stuck, right came down about 18". As soon I realized left side was not moving I let up on the right side and plf'd in pretty hard. Twisted my ankle a little but was ok otherwise. Now I am always pulling down a little on my toggles to make sure they are free during the pattern. Happened when my rig was new and few jumps on it.

----------------------------------------------------- Apollo 1 launch pad fire 27 Januart 1967. Remember well as I was a high school senior and there was a lot of excitment about space flight and going to the moon. The Saturday morning Columbia was to reenter I got online to see maybe if the track would be over my part of Florida. I was watching NASA live when data was lost and center could not figure out what was going on. Sad day. Our space program is dead. Sorry about the text and how lines are short and spaces skipped. Looks ok when I type.

As you alluded to in mentioning your canopy sizes, this is yet another reason to keep your reserve in a "shit hits the fan" size rather than "really small so my rig looks cool" size. -------------------------------------------------------- Ditto When I bought my rig with a pilot 168 main the salesperson wanted to put a 160 reserve in my rig. I decided to go with next size up (175). Why try to make a possible really difficult situation more difficult.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Don't you feel quilty about all these trees. I stopped the local paper when they tried to increase the price about 50%. I was mainly only checking the obits. So now I do it online.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Simple procedures but not simple application. Many people have to comply other than contractors. You forgot the paper work. Before the job and after. Didn't say anything about liberals. I know about lead exposure hazards. It will cost me about $300.00 for the certification class plus travel expenses, and another $300 to receive certification from the EPA. There would be more compliance I believe if the government pick up the tab. Less people will comply because of the cost.

I was wondering that too... I was at zhills for 5 days over christmas... Ate PB&J and lunchables and poptarts for most of the trips and Im still pretty sure I spent more than that on food... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You have a cheap boyfriend. he kept himself fed, and offered to buy me food too. But that seemed silly when I had PB&J in my car >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. I do like PB&J myself.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Is the above a chandelle? I still want to know about landing without gear and flaps. This thread is dead, capute, is no more!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Would'nt save anything because now government would have to pay for drug rehab plus the welfare, and a whole new agency to oversee everthing.

Quote>Several body shop owners were quoted as saying they were retiring >rather than change as they believed the profit will be squeezed out of the >industry due to higher operating costs. If that's the case, the ones remaining will make even more money, employ more people, buy more paint and filler etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Doesn't work that way in the construction industry. More rules, regulations, insurance requirements, etc. means my costs are higher and it is easier for a person to have a lower bid by not complying with the rules. Enforcement is poor and punishment is even worse. And when one gets run out of town another one pops up since anybody can buy a hammer and call themselves a contractor. I survive because I have been building a customer base for 38 years.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The treating companies pretty much voluntarily change the formula for pressure treated wood and removed the arsenic because the government was going to mandate it anyway. However, certain lumber (rough) and poles, for ground contact and marine structures still contain arsenic. I really miss the creosote days.

Where are the daddys? Never mind, stupid question

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Might have a problem landing with no gear and flaps.

Renovation, Repair and Painting. This will really suck. New profits (lawsuits) for Lawyers and more kingdoms created in the EPA. http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm

Start your own company.

Thanks for the info.

Just to add some more fuel to the fire: Does a paper airplane behave differently on the ground (say in the hangar where there is no wind) compared to inside an airplane that is flying through the sky? Is it going to behave differently inside the plane if you throw it toward the front or toward the back? And if you have a big enough airplane, how about to the side? How about turns? And if not, how is it different just because the air is contained in the plane vs the whole airmass moving (as it does in a steady wind)? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No, but the flight attendants will be pissed.

What were the circumstances of the 13 deaths. Were they at his dropzone? Did he pack their reserves? How long a time frame???? Lesson learned. If your going to fly without a license use only uncontrolled airports. Also make sure your pilot friend has the day off.

Happy Birthday Andy.
