Scoby-do, long time no post! Yes, very good. Apparently you too, have responded to the stimuli. Forget the day: !SHOCK! Flowers delivered to work: !REWARD! : !BIGBIG REWARD!

"Many a truth is hidden in jest" That's Shakespeare or somebody smart like that. It is a stupid holiday. That doesn't get us off the hook. At least get the card.

Valentine's day. Don't f*ck it up. Guys, Valentine's Day is Friday. It's Tuesday. Order the flowers now or it will be too late. Get a card. Read the stupid card. Getting the wrong stupid card is a very, very bad thing. They keep this sh*t. Forever. DO NOT get silk roses. DO NOT get artificial flowers of any kind. DO bring the flowers to her work, or have them delivered there. I do not pretend to understand the WHY of any of this, but trust me, if you are in any kind of relationship with a woman get her some romatic stuff, flowers are usually best, and a card, BEFORE Friday. This message brought to you in brotherly goodwill. JP

Keeping the open gaze of a child actually forbids it

OUCH! Coffee through the nose, and suddenly uncomfortable trousers all at the same time

Quick release systems mandatory on Camera Helmets??
Deuce replied to bigG's topic in Photography and Video
Ugh. How do I loathe the "M" word, let me count the ways...... I am big on safety, and choose to buy and fly the safest stuff I can afford, but don't make it mandatory. One of the absolutely coolest things about skydiving is that it is mostly self-regulating. I'll strive to keep it that way. JP -
Thanks, Sangiro-san. That is a great way to start the day! JP -and yes, B-squared is THE rock-n-roll ballerina

What did you do for your 100th jump?

2 point RW 10 way out of the KingAir. -
That would be Hookitt with two "t's"? The embroidery is very cool, and it's on the biggest Mirage I've ever seen.
-
Hook it! Heck, you need to gloat over the super-sunset-swoop action! Yepper. Now I know what it's like doing closed accordions on a Honda Civic.
-
That was cool, very cool, Lolie!

Shutter priority at 500, 200 ASA film. My video concession owner buys the film in bulk and I think he gets 200 instead of 100 for the cloudy days. I would never go higher than 200. If its that dark, its probably raining

The Chinese pictogram for "emergency" is a combination of the pictograms "crisis" and "opportunity" (if I'm remembering correctly). So life is a long string of "Oh shit!" "Choose!" points. The longer we live, the larger the collection of those forks in the road. But we only ever really get today. Pretty cool scenario, though. But if I put all my people into stasis, I'd have to go get a whole new set of people. And when I got done, and reactivated my old people, what the heck would I do with the new ones?

Not after we form our alliance. Lisa, I'll go high, you go low!

I have a 120. I love it. It's very versatile, and has been holding up really well. In addition it takes really nice stills, and the built in flash makes taking in plane shots easy. JP

Like a stack of dimes on end. Good luck.

OK. The sad truth. The lizard must have died sometime during the late morning. It was sleeping, I guess, on the hotpad, and expired. It's true, though, slow cooking is best. Yes, it tasted just like chicken. With a nice doughnut-hole glaze. -The weather has got to improve soon. A giant hallucinogenic reptile getting a thousand views means that there's not enough USPA members out there getting current! Now, if I could just do something about the bats....
-
Argh. Not desperate, it was that Alligator Hunter guy. "CRICKEY! Luuk aht thaht!" And he went on to describe how there's no need for Valentine's Day undergarments for reptiles cause they don't have anything to hide in them. Do lizards sleep? Are they nocturnal?

Well, the canopy collision at Byron had nothing to do with loading. I'm familiar with the incident, and high wingloading wasn't the primary factor, if it was even a factor at all. I experienced something at Eloy I hadn't yet (BEER!), and that was paying a dollar more to have my 170 packed than my 150. I agree with everything BillVon said, and I know that a dollar is a trivial thing when compared to safety, but that "dollar line" that is crossed to get to the "regular" sized parachutes of 150sf or smaller is a big psychological issue. Especially for the type-A males that are big in our sport. I just wanted to note that there is also a financial incentive to downsize that I wasn't aware of until recently, in addition to the coolio peer pressure. "I can't wait until I only have to pay $5 for a pack job, when I have a 'regular'-sized parachute!" (Pack your own, I know, but you get the point) JP

Dude! REPTILE. Boobless. I am at a complete loss. I know from health class that it has to have some sort of fertilizing implement if it's male, but I shudder to think of what a giant reptile might use for that purpose. But it does have a smell now. A wierd reptilian twist on semi-digested stale doughnut hole.
-
Well, there's not a whole lot of expression on it's face. It is a little pale, though. I don't know what these things eat. We had about two dozen stale doughnut holes and it ate all of those, but now it's not the same color as the carpet anymore. I don't blame it. The carpet is burnt orange. It looked cool when the Partridge Family was on primetime, but it doesn't look all that great on a giant lizard. Uh, oh.

It can look in two different directions at once. I don't know what the hell it's looking at. I've tried the "look at me when I'm talking to you!" thing I do with my daughters, but it's only good for one eye at at time. I want BillVon or one of our other resident genius's to tell me how to determine the sex of this thing. I must give it a lizard skydiving name. Static? Downwind? You know, it has absolutely no odor. How odd.

Then pass the baton to me nice-boy. Sunny, I've forgotten more about ass-kicking than you'll ever fricking learn. Bring it on.
