Dang, Seb. I just came home sick with that cough. Got some of that super coolio old-fashioned cough syrup with the codeine in it, half a glass of whine, and I'm taking a nap. Dates again on this thing?

OK Zoltan, when you buy video from me, I'll firewire the original digital copy from my Sony PC120 to your firewire enabled device. If you buy video from my DZ's video concession, you will get digital quality from my camera to your DVD. Finally, if you buy stills from me, and want digital, you'll get highest quality 6.3 megapixel JPEG's out of my sparkly new Canon 10D. Otherwise I'll give you the exposed roll of 36 exposure film out of my Nikon N70, 200 ASA, shutter priority of 500th/sec. No ads. My name isn't anywhere on the stuff. If you sell the images, I want a cut, but we can work something out. Maybe I'll just want credit for the work. Come out to Byron. I'll make you a star. (And when I refer to having a cold, I mean influenza, not the temperature. And thanks for converting to fahrenheit)

Zoltan, that's patently incorrect. I have a horrible cold, and I'm in a pissy mood, so am I wrong in reading a certain condescension in your use of the term "hobby camera flyer"? I'm a part-time camera flier. It's not a hobby, it's a part-time job. If I don't protect the income potential it has, I'll never realize my dream of cutting off my tie and skydiving full-time. Quade is another part-timer. Take some time to read his advocacy of professionalism standards and of fees for service and maybe you'll rethink your "belie(f) that all hobby camera flyers has the same attitude as you have. But those who make their living from camera jobs do it on a different way."

See, another reason to love DZ.com. Hookups everywhere in the world. Reflex repacks and crack! Noice!

Sorry Wingster. See you soon. JP

Like I said, I know where the new Starbucks is. For the record, Deuce enjoys a quad vente latte with 3 equals.

Your tricks with the force will not work here, Jedei. "Bring the prisoners to me"

D'oh! I'm not there yet. I am doing a lot of bigger-way stuff (8 to 12, not 80 to 120) and I dirt dive to see how fast the transitions will fall. A nine way that rotates three pieces really drops when the pieces break and rotate. So I go out and work on staying proximate, but I have noticed that I'm so focused on framing, that sometimes I miss what's going on and "see" it for the first time on the video. Like I've said, I'm envious of the amount of 4 way teams in SoCal and Fla. I look forward to having my camera suit flying get so instinctive that I can focus on counting points. Damn. You guys are good!

The picture says it all, but I'm thinking some caption might be in order. http://www.perriscam.com/Images5/dsg57133.JPG

Damn jp! Yeah, I'd like to jump one a them sub-100's. Like on Tuesday morning, cause I'll be done anyhow. Oh, and I'll put all my real expensive camera stuff on my head so I can get some first-person video stuff for "You gotta see this". "Yes, Mrs. Kelly, dropping your son on his head did cause permanent damage..."

Put the cleavage one up every day!

Sorry, lummy, can't go out on a school night. Besides, I've seen the show, and if you've seen one giant wig with the Golden Gate Bridge in it, you've seen them all.

Mutant powers to telepathically convince you to show me the cryogenic vault with Walt's head in it. Then super powers to throw my daughters into the pool over and over again. They thought it was awesome. You know, Q, that Yvette used her mutant powers on you to make you hold her hand all the way to ESPN? Mutant power runs strong in the Kelly clan!

Mine is cool. Looks just like me.

Gary, it's worth it. Once. Pretty funny, she'll dig it. Take her to Italian in NorthBeach too, then Gordon Biersch. I'll take the Friday off to skydive with y'all. JP

Thanks for the info, Ray. The comparo to tandems is very on-point. 6 tandems is slot plus $210. Very fun, we've got a dubber, after pack jobs I'm outta there with $175. I'm only now getting to the point, with aircraft type experience, etc., that I would consider asking ticket plus $20. Word gets out eventually, and you get people asking you to film RW. I'm doing a camp later next month for ticket plus pack job only. But there's a lot of budding teams in there, and it'll probably generate some work down the road. Hey, the first fix is always free
-
Dang, Q, I finally get steep and close and now you want me to know it's a meeker, doughnut, stairstep, diamond, weedwhacker? Heck, even when I'm in one I just memorize the color of the grips in order. If I was ever on a team where we had matching grips, I'd be hosed. And thanks again. I owe you dinner without my kids on the floor. JP

Lie. Target has a ton of lawyers who get paid whether or not they're in court. Proving discrimination is really, really hard. Hey, employers are like everybody else, if you're not "inside" skydiving, everybody thinks we're reckless daredevils. If an applications asked: "Are you a reckless daredevil" you better check "no".

Oh TOM! The Soarin over California ride is the absolute bomb diggity shit for EVERYBODY! Plus they have beer in the California park side. Plus the shrunk kids show and the Ant show. All fun for everybody. That electric roller coaster just rocks too. Electromagnetically propelled. VROOOM! Neato. Yeah, Sebazz, I'll do the trench coat thingie, I'll have a six-footer with arms and legs like Anvil Wendy, I didn't really crack their backs out, but I will cheat on the height thing. I'll lie to them about cheating too. "The cardboard's so your feet don't get tired". Lying and cheating, the things we do for love
-
OK, it's tomorrow morning! Bwah! Hey Tom, sounded like fun, just wouldn't work out with the kids schedules. I'd really like to have been on that bandit jump into Catalina, too!
-
Katie, I see your posts and I can't figure out what DAY it is where you're at, let alone what time. I'm thinking you're in yesterday night or something.

The lizard is always with me.

Oh, Andrea! Nonono! My kids are worth every minute! They are on the edge now, of knowing the whole Santa, Easter Bunny, Ariel the Mermaid thing is make-beleive. They know, but they still get real excited to see the characters. In just a couple years it will be all about roller coasters and walking far enough away from them that they don't have to "be with their parents". They're six, and they argue about who gets to ride on my shoulders, and paying five bucks for an ice-cream sandwich is a small price to pay for that

Kids are on Easter break, we're going to Disneyland! Leaving tonight, hitting the park manana. I got this connection down there that's going to take me into the gigantic underground labyrinth where they keep Walt's frozen head. I feel just a little bad, but I got these platform shoes for my girls, and took them to the chiropractor so they'd be tall enough to ride the good rides. He told me they'd squish back down in about a week.
