That is a fact. I live in an apartment and don't even put up a Christmas tree, let alone Christmas lights, but when I lived in a small-townish area in upstate New York, some people got really competitive about their Christmas lights and, since there wasn't much else to do, I would drive around and check out the ones who put on a really big show. We're talking big to the point where they would have to make some sort of special arrangements with the local power company each year. So I still don't really understand the whole Christmas light thing, but I can appreciate a good show by someone who really gets into it. Walt __________________________________________ In the town I live in, they have stretch limo tours of all the decorated houses. Route maps are available so you can drive your own vehicle and check-out all the lights. Some folks really go nuts with the lights and decorations. Chuck

_______________________________________ I think, what is shown in the pictures you provided, is a pretty neat method. The end result is really 'clean' looking. It appears also, that method of tying the bungee cord, really hides knots and would give a more even tension. Too cool! Chuck Chuck

I'm getting dizzy! These researcher guys keep changin' their minds! I heard on the news the other day that, a couple glasses of red wine, just might not be good for you after all. My dad, clued me in on a word years ago, that makes a lot of sense... MODERATION! Sheeeesh! Chuck

______________________________________ I think, the cat in Slappie's avatar had a bug on it's nose or something. edit to add: Leastwise, it's better than the naked seriously fucking obese guy sitting at his computer! Chuck Fixed that for you... if ever there was a photo that required bleach to clean one's eyes out, that's one of them... [/repl __________________________________________ I was trying to be kind!

I got two t-shirts! Here's a pic. Walt __________________________________________ Heckuva story, Walt! Good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn't they burn-down the last place like that here in Texas? Chuck Chuck

as requested... one shot on the ground another of the tube coming down from the jump. It worked okay in the air, but I got to find something a little stiffer for the bottom. The stuff I used as a bit flimsy and didn't keep the bottom open fully to inflate the tube. ______________________________________ Looks to me like a great job! Sometimes, you have to work the 'bugs' out. Keep up the good work. Nice job! Chuck

_________________________________________ Depending on the line type. Spectra line, due to shrinkage, I set to the marks and tell the owner of the parachute that they will shrink, within a few jumps. Most student parachutes that I've seen have Dacron lines that 'stretch' a bit. Also, most student parachutes are 'de-tuned' and you have to flare to your crotch. In General, manufacturers, mark their steering lines where they 'recommend' they be set. I have one customer who bought a new Stiletto with Spectra lines. He wanted me to shorten the steering lines because, as he said it; "I don't want to have to flare past my chest!" I did and about every 10 - 15 jumps, I'd have to let them out "About an inch!" It wasn't long and the last time I let them out... was at the original marks. To sum it up, I set brake lines to the manufacturer's marks. Chuck

I completely agree, and also voted option 2 ______________________________________ Dayum! You sure got a taste for 'roughness'! I'd be afraid I'd get something I couldn't remove with kerosene and a wire brush! Chuck

I really believe, Anna Nicole is the embodiment of true trailer trash. I think too, she's a self-serving gold digger, living off a one time fling with Playboy magazine. Chuck

I had a jumper bring his throw-out bridle and pilot chute to me, wanting me to shorten the bridle. He was so fearful of getting the bridle wrapped around his arm, he had it figured-out that 18" would be just right. I absolutely refused! Seems as though, he liked to hold the pilot chute till just the right time.... then let go! Chuck
