Yes I'm very sorry it is a 220. I'm sorry but you said a bridle extension? So instead of pulling the bridle to the side you would "fold it" in instead of pulling to the side?

This is for those of us guys who are jumping 200+ sqft canopies as often as we jump so if you are packing a 150 and under or are a professional packer please withhold snarky comments. Yes we know you are good and can pack with your hands tied behind your back so this is a question for the rest of us. I will be jumping a 210 triathlon later this summer when I downsize. For now I will be utilizing the DZ's various student rigs. I've had some issues with respect to S folding and keeping material control. Looking around this forum and online I saw a hybrid psycho pack / pro pack method of packing where by the parachute is pulled and folded on itself tightly in one continuous "roll" with the bridle pulled to the side. Doing so significantly reduced packing volume and also greatly increased my ability to "control" the material. My good friend who is a superb packer came over my place last night for a bit of a drink and I demonstrated the packing technique to him. He was impressed at the ease in which it all worked and liked the overall final packing volume. His concern was due to the bridle being pulled to one side before the parachute was placed in the D-Bag may an asymmetrical pull on the canopy and thus causing the canopy to open up in a line twist. The S fold method placed the bridle dead center and as such symmetrical pressure on the top skin. Again without getting into a pissing match and self declaration of greatness and infallibility thoughts on the issue?

I will be in Saint Louis at the end of the month for a few days. Any know of anything fun to do there? Any one from there? Would be cool to hang out for a drink or three.

To quote my friend from Saudi, "Yeah what moron thought this was a good idea! Yeah woman you stay home relax fold a few clothes hang out with friends and make a bit of dinner. I the man will wake up early, deal with traffic to work, deal with an insane boss, eat a piss poor meal, try to figure out how to do 12 hours of work in an 8 hour day, spend another hour driving back home in traffic and try to not sound too depressed when you ask me how my day was." If you can pull it off, more power to you! And yeah you do have a killer gig! What's the pay? Me? Analyze 3k points of data to determine what kids think about maybe one day working as engineers or scientists.

Look if any one is ever having a rough time, I know I would not tell them to "enjoy" whatever difficulty they are partaking in. But that's just me. As for the very dumb woman who indicated that one should "enjoy their unemployment" karma just got her. Looks as if she will be out of a job as of this Friday. Deep down I wish to wish her to truly enjoy her new found freedom from employment and adequate compensation but that would make me no better than her. Thus I will just offer my condolences and wish her the best in finding another job. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Nightingale Thank you for your post. I wish people would stop seeing me as a heartless cold person just because I do not wish to have kids. But what can you do right?

billvon Yeah but that "new shoes" thing that's nice! To tell the person they should "enjoy" what is bothering them...that's not good karma.

If I had a 1$ for every time I was told that when having dinner at a friends house...... Right answer "?" for that I don't know. How about not ask unless you wish to introduce person A to person B?

Hummm.... http://thepottypatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/angry-woman.jpg I'm just a little turned on by this...is this bad?

So guy does something dumb you can say "What a dumb ass, slap that him upside the head." If a girl does something dumb.....you...say...."Hi, would you like to go out for a drink later?" http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/she-ronald-says-gtfo.jpg To woman was a dumb ass, she sould have simply stated "Sorry to hear about that..." not "enjoy...."

Yeah! Hu...maybe I missed something? Ok smarty patnses...girl says dumb line what is the PC line for "slap him/her/it upside the head for knocking some sense into them?"Look you wanted equality? You got it! And as such are equally eligible for being slapped upside the head when you do or say dumb things much like any guy. Don't like it.....too bad. You are now equal.

"it was a bad date.....you had to pay for half of your meal? You really should enjoy your time out with people more....." See where I'm going with this. Easy answer would have been, "Sorry, you are right." Dumb ass answer was.... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Nothing wrong with saying "have fun" You are doing what you love and well "Hope you have fun" as in "He hopes that you will have a safe and fun experience which will live up to your expectations." for short "have fun" What gets me is that all this dumb ass with the "enjoy your time off" could have said was "sorry to hear that" and all would have been well. I mean how freaking out of touch must you be to say "ENJOY your time off." WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SAYS ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF AS AN UNEMPLOYED PERSON FOR THE PAST YEAR! I mean really have your freaking head examined! WAKE UP! Enjoy your time off....how about you enjoy a flat tire during the pouring rain in the middle of winter on a busy highway? Why don't you enjoy having your teeth pulled...yo dumb ass! The woman is unemployed and is working hard to NOT BE FREAKINE UNEMPLOYED! And you tell her to "ENJOY" her unwanted station? And the funny thing and maybe it's just me...I hear really asinine lines like this mostly from soccer moms. I know kids lower your IQ due to lack of sleep and all that fun stuff...but I never knew they stripped you of your inability to empathize.

Maybe it's just me, but I see what you are saying but....I don't get it... "enjoy the XYZ..."? HU? What is there to enjoy? If it was a "joy" the person would not be taking steps to change their station. What is this some sort of new age Buddhist thinking I'm not privy to? Enjoy the situation which you reluctantly find yourself in and are working had to get out of? What a dumb ass thing to say to someone? "Oh you are without a job and have been on a dozen interviews over the past 4 months with no return calls....oh just enjoy your newly found unpaid staycation."

1) SOME girls likes dating, it's called a "FREE MEAL" ddduuuh!....bla bla bla 2) The woman has been out of a job for the past year, she did not look exactly pleased that her last interview had not gone well. Trying to defend the ladder with the issue of employment in this economy....really? How about if you were hurt and had to spend a few weeks on the couch in pain with limited movement and some dumb ass came over and said "Oh how great you can catch up on your daily soaps!" I'm guessing you may want to slap them upside the head? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Woman 1 "Oh you should really enjoy your time off." I've never hit a woman but this dumb ass needed a good back hand to bring her back down to earth! You should enjoy your time off? WTF! Really! What next "Oh you should enjoy your cancer? Your ill healthy? Your pain?" WTF! Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down! How about "I'm sorry to hear that I hope things go better." Is that too hard to say? God! Or a simple "That sucks" And if it was just one person I would be ok with it...but so many stupid people say so many stupid things!

The one that got me was, being rude to the woman who has been out of work for almost a year. "Enjoy your time off...." WTF is the matter with you? Who says somethig that STUPID after someone states that they just came from an interview? What a DUMB ASS!

People say some very stupid $hit! People really say dome very stupid shit! Stuff that makes you wonder....wow can one really go senile that early in life? Having lunch with some people, all well educated all well on their way to a very good career and hopefully life. Woman asks "How is dating going?" Me "Eh, with my job and where I live it's not easy to meet young women my age who are single." Woman "Oh you should enjoy being single..." Yo dumbass...if I enjoyed being single why on god's green earth would I be spending my time going out on dates? Another time, large group. One woman who has been unemployed for the good part of a year had recently been on an interview. Woman 1 "So how was that interview last week?" Woman 2 "Eh, it's depressing. I have too much experience for entry jobs but that's all that is offered in the field." Woman 1 "Oh you should really enjoy your time off." Yo dumb ass...if the woman enjoyed being unemployed why on god's green earth would she be putting her resume out and going out on interviews? It's enough to make your head hurt! Any of you have any good examples? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

For me? Right now as always I've been a big fan of stability. My life has been very unstable and as such I have found that a stable relationship, be it midterm to long term, has always proven to provide me a level of peace and what I'm personally looking for. As for the foreign wife thing....a friend of mine who works as an engineer in Florida, not a bad looking guy works out dresses well has his life together is well traveled and is well to do, just sent me an email last week titled "Dating was fun but Tim is off the market!" He went off and married Belarus Barbie.

There should always be hope. Be it valid or false. Lucky guy I wish them the best. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Yeah lots of very good information here.....sadly none of it positive. I knew the situation was not going to be a good one but now that I stand back and take the long view of things....it's not going to be fun. Much as with most cases in life, it is a numbers game and I'm on the wrong side of the odds curve. And as such thank you for the information and opinions. And before anyone decided to launch into the pedantic autonomous babble regarding being single vs in a relationship; Not all of us enjoy being single much like not all of us enjoy being unemployed. Some of us enjoy being in a relationship and some of us actually enjoy working. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
