I definitely don't have the same attitude as the above, but I do expect a rigger to clean and lub my cutaway cables during a repack. I then clean it once in between and I'm good to go. I wonder if the rigger who repacked these rigs cleaned the cutaway cables. __________________________________________ Every harness-container that comes to my shop, during the course of the inspection, I wipe down the cables with a clean cloth then, apply a light coat of pure silicone to the cables. To me, that is part of the inspection process. Chuck

That's your best bet, as suggested. Call them on the telephone. Chuck

During the manufacturing process of the cable routings, oil is used. The oil on the outside of the routing is cleaned-off. There is an oil residue that remains on the inside of the routing. As was mentioned in an earlier post, dirt and lint is 'attracted' by static electricity. As was recommended, the cables should be cleaned more often than just the 120-day re-pack cycle. Chuck

What's really sad is, someone, will take 137 of the crappiest songs ever, put them on cd's and title it; "The Best Love Songs of the 70's 80's & 90's"! Where is their taste... in their mouth? Chuck

That's funny! Reminds me of the one evening, some young guy kept calling asking for Sally. I kept telling him, he had the wrong number. After about the fifth call, I told Dave (the caller) she just left with Joey! Chuck

QuoteSay it isn't so!!! I went to see my printer yesterday, and thought I heard Alvin & the Chipmunks in the background. I said nothing and quietly left after taking care of my business. I can't believe this song is for real. Oh brother.. ____________________________- My wife and I went to work-out last night and at the gym, they play one of the local radio stations. That song came on and I about crapped my sweats! I was just waiting to hear AAAllviiiiin! Chuck

6 weeks is too long to go between (yellow) cutaway cable cleanings...... along with main closing loops, cutaway cables are usually the most under maintained part of any system. Clean'em and Lub'em people!!!!! __________________________- I know jumpers with 400 - 500 jumps who don't know how to re-connect their 3-ring system or are un-sure of it. You are correct about the system being the most under maintained part of their entire system. When I try to help some of these folks, I'm met with the response; "That's why I pay you!" I get the impression that, a lot of folks don't really want to know all there is to know about their rigs!? Chuck

What you don't know is that JohnRich is about the size of a normal human's hand... Which makes the Texan paintings the same size as the South African paintings... ____________________________- That there's funny! Chuck

The way things have gone, with the NHL... anything could happen. It'll be interesting to see how the NHL and Canadian courts deal with it. IMHO, Gary Bettman is the 'problem' with the NHL! Chuck

You're looking at her boobs... Just admit it, GFD has a nice rack. Don't try and hide your voyuerism with a comment about her rig. _________________________ Well... uh... er... O.K. You blew my cover! You are right, about the 'nice rack'!

I don't know about taller but, the rig is a great accent to your jumpsuit.

QuoteThanks all for all the experiences shared and advice given. I did talk to my union rep and we are not "officially" doing anything in sympathy. On the flip side, my employer has said that actions will be taken against those that do not show up, and if you call in sick a dr's note will be needed for proof. They are providing a "side door" entrance for employees and beefed up security. ___________________________________- Just be very, very careful and good luck to you. Chuck

QuoteMy rotator cuff is dorked due to a fall of a bike years ago. I'll second that shoulder pain sucks emotion. _________________________- Same here. I discovered glucosamine and working out has really helped. Tore mine on a bad (student0 landing. Straight-armed the ground to save the gear. Chuck

Quote Saw that and a crw wrap. Yea the hangar swoop was just a little ballsy. _______________- Years ago, one of our jumpers tried that at our hangar. As expected, the canopy hung at the top of the hangar door (10' high). He swung-out like a kid on a playground swing, landed flat on his back. After asking if he was all right (and he was), we laughed our asses off! Chuck Chuck

I would have to agree with those who suggest contacting your union rep/steward. Having been a Teamster at one time, you are better off checking with your local first. Chuck

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Dolphin, has a lot of high quality workmanship in it for the price. Dolphin, harness-containers are quite comfortable, also. If,you can get the chance, try one on or maybe, test jump one. I think, you'll be surprised. Chuck
