  1. Well, I did back and seat rating together, so I had packed a few rounds and a SDH at least once. I also didn't attend a course, just worked with a couple master riggers. But I get your point. A new rigger at the dz just refused to pack two bail out rigs because he wasn't thrilled about them being rounds. I know he's packed a round before but probably just not comfortable with it. Oh well, more cash in my pocket.

  2. I can't remember who, but I do recall reading somewhere on here that even if an applicant shows up to their course (not necessarily the one in Chicago) with their 20 packjobs done, they'd make them do them again under their supervision.

  3. I don't think the offer is open for them to motorboat you. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF2kZqiROA4#t=264 That's one way to do it! Chicks seem to dig it, I wonder how many times they got "Oh hell NO" "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  6. Maybe he was riding the ILS for practice? Not a great plan either way. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  7. You pay for the ride, not the jump. At a certain boogie (that may or may not have had an FAA rep present at the time), they were taking jumpers up and the pilot was making the call to not drop, so people were riding the plane right back down, not getting a refund on their tickets. That actually brought up a lot of argument about them not getting refunds because they didn't make the call to ride down, the pilot did. Of course, after the FAA rep left, people were jumping again.

  8. Sounds like a King Air landed with dry tanks in a soybean field? Moral of the story, stick the tanks. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  9. Having done both, I do prefer a regular steady job, but the grass is almost always greener on the other side, no matter which side you're on. Guilty on all counts.

  10. We had an UPS go tits up over the weekend, of course the 6500 chassis is dual power supplied, but someone thought they could save a few bucks by running both to a single UPS. Finally fixed it this morning (I wasn't on call so I didn't care till normal hours) At least we got to upgrade the code on it, ya know, since it was down anyways.

  11. This is a repost, but it still is a cool video to watch. Of course, plenty of things that he probably shouldn't have done, but if we followed every rule, it would be a boring life.

  12. First you say you're at Deland for a quick visit (and I was considering going to Deland yesterday) Now you're saying you were at the Hard Rock in Tampa yesterday morning, a whole 10 mins from my house? Are you stalking me? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  13. For some reason, every time I see this thread, I am reminded of the movie Airplane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7fchtEJpy8 "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  14. I know you can make a mans knee bend pretty well.
  15. Ain't that how America started? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  16. There are plenty of roundabouts in the countries that I've 'visited'. I've always liked them more, but I also understand that Americans really don't know how to handle one 90% of the time. There's one near a local store and I almost always see the guy infront of me turn left (basically doing a U turn) instead of turning right. Luckily there's almost never anyone on this road.

  17. "Please list all of the countries you've been to in the last x years:" Crap, gimme a pen, paper and a few minutes. That reminds me, as of Monday I'm eligible to donate again.

  18. Always good to hear things like that! You wouldn't by chance share the pictures of the damage (us riggers get a kick out of things like this and it's nice to look out for)?

  19. That wouldn't happen to be the same station that likes to play 'War of the roses' where they like to catch people who are cheating, or the game where they call you and ask why you didn't call someone back after a date... would it?

  20. If I recall correctly, that's the exact opposite of the Triathalon mod (it goes from the "After" to the "Before" IIRC) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  22. Something else that I had happen to my canopy was that there somehow some fibers that got rolled together and just small enough to not see unless you're looking right at it, but it formed a kind of a ring. The ring somehow ended up above the cascades for the brake attachments and would cause a slow but noticeable turn. Was the darndest thing I'd seen up to that point.

  23. Any chance you'll put the "x friends online" next to the friends link in the 'My Stuff' sidebar? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
