_____________________________________ That's exactly why, I mentioned he should contact the manufacturer and give the serial number of the harness container. All that information is right there under that number in their files. That way, there are no mistakes. That's why, manufacturer's keep records. Chuck And a side note on the advice of buying Velocity Sports risers for Mirage as well as an RSL. VSE RSL setups are on the right, while the Mirage setup is on the left. You would need to inform VSE of the different RSL side if you chose to "save money" by buying another manufacturer's risers. (If you have an RSL.) If you live by the ocean or you plan on pond swooping, you will want stainless to prevent oxidation from the moisture. Long story short, I would order Mirage risers from the manufacturer or a dealer who can use your serial number to make sure you get the correct part...and get you the appropriate options for your needs. Mike ______________________________________ Good point, Mike!!! I've ordered many a set of risers for folks and always, get the serial number of the harness-container and order from the manufacturer of that harness-container. As we pointed-out, you stand much less chance of getting the 'wrong' risers when ordering from the manufacturer of the H/C. I explain this to my customer and I have yet, to have one balk at the idea. Chuck

'nuff said! Chuck

I left Arizona in a Greyhound. Physically I was OK. Although that rig was bored as hell and annoyed at it's passengers. I guarontee it! ___________________________________ I don't doubt it! Chuck

I had a customer, send his rig to me by Greyhound, no box, no bag... just the rig, for a re-pack. When I got it, there was not so much as a speck of dust on it. I couldn't believe it. Chuck

Bwa-hahahahahahahahaha... Chuck

Practice, practice, practice. I don't know any other way to say it. Take your time and you'll figure-out ways to improve line stowing into the free-bag. I will sometimes, use the fat end of a wooden packing paddle to tuck lines into the free-bag. There's no easy way of doing it. It'll come to you. Chuck

_______________________________________ The terroristic threat, I think, that's what you are referring to, was when she threatened to 'kill' the police officer. The video of her saying what she did will weigh heavy against her. Not enough for Gitmo, though. Chuck

She just kept rackin'-up the charges! I love it! Besides drunk, there's assault on a police officer, terroristic threats... she done good! Chuck

Contact the harness-container manufacturer, give them the serial number of the harness-container. They can sell you the correct risers for the rig. Chuck

Bwa-hahahahahahahahahaha... Chuck

True, but I've seen angry bulls going after someone. _________________________________ I have too... ME! That would be a pretty interesting dive! Get with others with experience around rays and search them-out. I saw a program, awhile back that showed a group of divers swimming with and actually riding rays. I was amazed also, at the variety of rays. There were hundreds of them (rays). Beautiful creatures. From what they showed, you really don't see the rays under the sand till they move. In thinking about it, I could be dead wrong but, I think that this recent incident was really a (for lack of a better word) 'freak' accident. It'll be interesting to see what the findings will be, as far as 'why' this happened. Chuck

It really does, take all kinds! I'm glad, they didn't show her video for that song... no telling what kind of stir that would've caused! Chuck

Perhaps, visiting with divers who have been around rays in the water could help. I didn't know the eatin' end from the poopin' end of a bull till I got with others who had knowledge of bulls. I didn't have to watch video of a man being gored to death to know they can kill you. Chuck

I'm glad, I read a little further! I got entirely the wrong idea from the title of your post! Chuck

__________________________________ From what I've read and heard, he was just above the ray, when it struck. He pulled the barb from his chest. To me, that's plenty of information. That would mean to me, stay from above a ray or out of range of it's tail. I think, other information garnered from his death could be helpful. As far as viewing the video of him in death, it would be about the same as if a friend or son or daughter was in a fatal accident and someone videoed it. Chuck

It is a good place to catch-up on some 'light' reading but, an hour and a half? That's like women in labor for 32-hours! I only give 20-minutes to a poop and that's it! Chuck

Well if that happened - then you could call Irwin in to save you - Oh, Wait . . . . _______________________________ Bad guess! Personally, I think it's an 'urban legend'. I do recall a 'Far Side' cartoon that dealt with the subject. Chuck

Isn't that exactly how executions are still being done in some parts of the world? Not that I think the video should be shown, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was- either publicly or through some sort of internet "leak". And I also wouldn't be surprised if that's something he would have wanted. But that doesn't mean I think it would be a good thing. _____________________________________ Well, we may never know what he had in mind. Only he can say and he's not talkin'! Chuck

No! I can see no good, from watching someone die! Maybe, executions should be held in giant stadiums and sell popcorn and cotton-candy! I wish too, the media would show some different footage of him, other than the footage with he and his son and the crocodile. JMO! Chuck

The mud was jet black, very oily, thick and stinky...I got a *golf clap* from the jumpers on the back deck for the stellar performance as I bowed and pulled chunks of mud off my face, hair, rig...it was everywhere. Laurel's commentary was "here she comes, there she goes...oh my..where is she going? Dóh!" Why does it seem that there's an audience when weird stuff like that happens? _______________________________ It never fails! Do something like that and everybody in the world sees it. I can just picture all that nasty gumbo clay and muck. Not fun! Chuck I suppose what would've made it a tad more funny would be if I had crawfish hanging off my face ________________________________ That would not be good. It should be... crawfish boiled and eaten! Those little suckers can pinch! Chuck
