    One of the camera fliers at my DZ has a dedicated sit suit he uses. He's an older guy (60's) and he finds the sit wing to be way more comfortable. It's made of two wings on the front and back of the arms with ribs holding them together.

    i aGReE tOtAlLy . At Perris, McGowan was jumping with us for "nothing". He was full of shit, though, he'd take these awesome pictures that you just could not, not-buy. He also shared an awful lot of information about artistic skydiving photography. Usually I am primarily concerned about just getting usable pictures when I fly camera, but now when I'm flying my camera for me, I'm doing some of the stuff he shared. It was really very motivating and inspirational. Some of the great ones are great people too. -but you do have to pay for that gear and transporting it....

    Yeah, what with surgery and stuff... I'm O- too. Actually, that's good to know. I donate a couple times a year. Usually when I see the bloodmobile and I have time. I do the apheresis thing maybe once a year, but that's a serious time commitment.

    Unlike Obi-Quade-Kenobi, I DO do tandems. Early and often. The .3 is too wide. The .5 is fine (Both from Diamond), the Diamond .5 is wider than the Kenko .5 (I posted comparo pictures a while back). With tandems, you have to get low and close enought be able to see the harness chest strap on the student. The students want close, clear video of their expressions and eye movements. Unless you are docked for quite a while with the tandem master, the .3 is generally too wide for that. Interesting. I'll hold my .3 and my .5 at arm's length and post them. That'll show the differences at "docking" distance.

    0:0:a few Spent the weekend in Yosemite with my wife, kids, and Mom. Tent cabin in Curry Village responsible for big goose-egg in category one. Same for category two. My girls playing with squirrels and raccoons and deer were worth it, though. Absolutely amazing sunset Saturday night from Glacier Point. I was expecting it to be crazy-crowded, cause I put the trip together last week, but it wasn't. Thunder, lightening, and rain both nights, beautiful days. If you've never been , you should see it.

    Check this out! I had my camera here and I've got a picture of MonoUno in the pool!

    Freaky. I saw the post title and instantly answered "Weld". Weld stainless steel stuff with welds that look like a stack of dimes on their sides. I'd like to be better with my Leigh jig too, but I just don't have enough time. I would like to learn how to put about 10 more hours in each day.

    Happy Birthday to you!

    Which is why MonoUno kept a high level of antifreeze in his bloodstream from sundown to sunset. Or, like the Japanese snow-monkeys, stayed in the heated pool while others brought more antifreeze and snacks.

    I am serene. I rode the bike to work, splitting traffic for 20 miles. Got in a half-hour early. I am drinking a quad latte and eating a blueberry scone. In my email I have a draft contract back from a vendor that concedes to very advantageous terms for ME! Hookitt has a singer needle in his machine, but Mark Singer could talk to animals and had a pet eagle or something. It was "Raising Arizona" The Temperature in Arizona is raising as we sit. B-Squared is in Arizona, so it's even hotter

    Can you catch salmon with drift nets?

    Using words like "Whilst" is a mammoth clue you have been reading raunchy romance novels. Long plane ride, huh? BoyFallDown is doomed.

    That was serious and heartfelt. -Knock that shit off. I can't wait to see Luis in his new suit.

    Eddie Mercury was a punk rock singer. Hookitt knows how to use a sewing machine, but I don't know what brand it is. I branded cows for a while when I was a teenager. There's several ways to castrate cattle when you have them in the chute for branding. I used to be brand loyal to Nikon, but I like my new Canon better. They used to fire a little brass cannon at my Boy Scout Camp in the summers. Summer can be hot. It only got down to 94 degrees overnight in parts of Arizona. Saving Arizona was a funny movie.

    Dudes. How you managed to take that teenage English chick home with you baffles me. Jimmy, PM me your home address, I gotta mail you some stuff.

    And Clay can fly camera and procreate with the sheep so we always have plenty of lambchops... Well, I know I can save Alana just by showing up on my motorcycle with a spare helmet. -How you convinced that beautiful creature to rent a room from you I do not know.
  18. Deuce
    Damn straight! Is that a rhetorical question? Well, after the beginning, intermediate, advanced and graduate seminars on Nignoggery. After those.

    I ate snails on a cruise ship once. I would like to have been there when the first human looked at a snail and said "Hey, that looks like good eating!" That one and whoever ate the first artichoke. You know when applying a "choke hold" it is very important not to apply frontal pressure to the throat. The goal is to restrict blood flow, not air flow. My wife's grandmother's name is Flo.

    Rocky was a cool flying squirrel. Kind of an odd freindship, that, a flying squirrel and a moose. I used to wear "husky" sized dura-jeans from Sears when I was a kid. I always get the reinforced seat when I buy a jumpsuit. Tony was a cartoon tuna. Did you know there's a squirrel on SpongeBob that has to wear a dry hard helmet cause Spongebob lives in the ocean. Gosh, could you imagine a Squirrel with the bends. And nitrogen is good for your lawn. I like the lawn landing area at Eloy. Elroy was the name of the little boy on the Jettsons. Where is my goddamm flying car, anyway?

    apology

    Deuce replied to kmoore's topic in The Bonfire

    Apology accepted (well, from me anyhow) Got your PM and returned it. You'll do better at skateparks than at dropzones JP
  22. Deuce
    Ah, much better. Apparently it's a she. Karina-something.
  23. Deuce
    You mean the delete. I can't beleive this idiot posted this troll in incidents, too.
  24. Deuce
    In before the lock.
  25. Deuce
    Yep, Kev. I located a GTi on my DZ that I can use to get my fam jumps done, and I'll be ordering an SF3 once I get it under control. That goddamned LouDiamond beat the crap out of me in my camera suit on a third of my jumps at Perris, so I want to get another crack at him in Eloy. I still want to photo a birdman out of a balloon too. Freaking epic. This is shaping up to be totally freaking epic.
