It had TEETH! And it FLEW! LOOK AT THE BONES!

I think I'm alone in regarding dating as the path to marriage. So with that as my premise, do you want to have baby children when you are in your 40's? Usually young women are thinking marriage and babies as they move into their 20's (my experience). You are just a couple years younger than me, but there is no way that I would take on the responsibility of creating children anymore at this age. If you are in a post-marriage, vasectomy stage, have fun, be honest, and don't expect it to last.

Ha. NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I tend to break and sprain my leg parts a lot, so I have jumped with a broken ankle and sprained knees and ankles. I would not jump with any injury that impaired my grip, though. My boss, however, jumped with a broken wrist that was in a cast for several weeks. He's got 7000 something jumps, though. I think you should wait.

Well I didn't vote for you. Blues, Dave It's not Student Body President, it's King. "It's good to be the King"

Mine are supposed to be firing in sych, not sequential. I'll drop Mark a line.

I got a BritRail pass for my trip next week, it was a deal compared to buying the tickets. It's been a super bargain every time I've been over there. In Europe the passenger rail system works. It is the Anti-Amtrack.

I haven't seen it, but that picture was from Fireflyr's Level One. Shame they didn't use the snot bubble one. Lookin' good!

Clear that up, Schwede, you talking 18 drogues? Yikes. We routinely have our more experienced RW folks come out with a freind who is attached tandem.

If the club gear is decent, I'd sell you gear and continue to do a couple jumps a weekend, or like a lot of the Europeans I meet over here, come to the US for a week (or Spain or anywhere the weather is good) and jump like mad on a skydiving vacation. Funny, a friend of mine moved from California to London a few months ago, and pretty much gave up on the idea of skydiving much, because of the weather. His plan was to jump on the train or plane and spent weekends at Empuria.

Only so long as you continue to acknowledge that I am your king.

Like that's a news flash. A nice hedge, then.

Bah. Have you ever heard the term "French by injection?" Bring me a shrubbery.
-
Just look at what you have done to my Girl Scouts! They are known as the "French Crickets" My daughter Yvette made up the name. I am proud, so long as they are as tough as your wife. You, well, you I must still hold out judgement. Your wife gives great cheek kisses when broken. You, you may only sob and whimper. Your wife makes me proud of the .25 Completely French of the Kelly Girls. You. however....

I have gotten all the "wired" gear to hood two EX 550's up to my Canon 10D. Hot shoe adaptor 3, the cables the hot shoes. The camera is communicating with the flashes, as when I press the shutter to activate the metering, both flashes power up and make sounds. (Geez I wish I had something more cool to call it, but I'm not much of a faker). Anyhow, neither flash will fire when the shutter is tripped. I'm thinking it's a menu setting, but I'm not having luck with the configuration settings in the camera's menu there. Yes, I have "read the damn book". I have a call in to Canon, as I suspect they will instantly ask me why I'm not using the coolio infrared system. My answer of "Cause both the flashes are mounted on either side of my video camera, on my head, and don't communicate consistently in bright light" might put them off. Anybody got a better book?

If I can get Jari to approve the SuperBird logo when I see him at the Herc Boogie in a couple weeks, I might do it. I am simply not that good at it, regardless of how much I love the BirdMan Suit. Yeah, both cameras pointed backward. Some fun videos and stills. And again, I'm not trying to put you off your S3, it's just a demanding platform, and most of us can have just as much fun, without doing the F117 pilot thing the S3 requires from guys like me, who try to keep current in multiple skydiving disciplines. A GTI was all I needed, but I have ego and impulse problems.

Bonnie, I'm really grateful you let me trade for it. I'll ask you for a demo this weekend between running Gravity Gear and teaching AFF, taking care of Jet and Mathias, etc. I got my light thingie from Keith, but as you can see, there's huge demand for the item from camera fliers and deaf fliers over in the Skydivers with Disabilities forum. As soon as you find it, it is as good a sold.

Back when I had a job I won "Best hold music in the Bay Area" for my little bureaucracy. John Phillips Souza. I love that stuff, and I worked for the Elections Division, so it was apropos.

OK, I'm guessing this is phoenetic Scottish for: "Stranger! He's going to do you! Cause if the the fucker can get up from there, he's gonna run! I want to take Glen to war!" I don't know who Glen is, but I'm pretty good with a broken bottle from my bartending days. Oh, my little girls are gonna love this!
-
4 pages of this stuff? Hey, in context, it is always simply "it". And if whoever doesn't know what "it" you are talking about, get out of bed. Or wherever.

On your resume, if it says Socialist Scotsman, I will choke. I have a red truck, and know how to drive a tractor, own more than one shotgun, and do, in fact, have empty shell casings under my floor mats. Jeff Foxworthy called the necessary mental state for a rednect "blissful ignorance", I'm rather lacking there. Dave, if you meet up with a man at a dance, and he says "I'd like you to meet my wife and sister" and there is just one woman standing there? He might be a redneck.

The fins are cheaper than a D-box, and allow me to use my quick release mount. I just unscrew the stroboframe base when I take it off to change out tapes. I'd rather unscrew the base than fish my camera out of the box every time. This is a prototype, anyhow. I'll be doing something with machined aluminum, but I want to find out as many problems as possible before asking my friend to fire up his zillion dollar machine tool. I mount two 550EX flashes to the outboard sides of the fins. I rotate the still camera where it is for vertical if I want that. Mathias mounts both cameras on top (DigiRebel and some sort of PC video) That's where I got the idea for the fins. They protect the camera, too.

I got the light thingy from the Most Amazing and Wonderful Keith Wyatt, Rigger and AFF Instructor extraordinaire. I don't think the folks at the newly Scot-owned Taime-ooot understand the camera flier demand for the LED version. They have a new stereo speaker out. Shoudn't be too hard to replace the speaker with an LED if they would just send you the connection.

Dude, I was kicking ass on my GTi flights. I got a dock my first time out. I got one or two docks everytime after that. If you are controlled now, you will be OK. I'm just telling you that for this monkey, the S3 was a whole different banana. The two guys I fly regularly with can both outfly me, one in his GTi, and one in his CLASSIC! The problem for me is that with the S3 to get the monster lift, you will totally outdrive the smaller suits, if the guys in them are about the same size as you. Stay current. Stay current. Stay current. And have fun!

I just picked up one of these with the light warning sensor. I got one cause Greg Gasson has one, and he said it was a good thing to have during his seminar at the Holiday Boogie. How do I set the first alarm? The new website is short on directions. Clay? You have one of these, how do I set the first alarm for 4500 feet? And the second and third alarms go off when? JP
