Billy Boyd. "Pippen" in Lord Of The Rings. He was the one who became a Knight in the third film. I only have a few photo's of myself... they're all team photo's after a very long day of jumping... Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

I've jumped both and would borrow a Spectre if I needed a rig to jump on back to back loads. If a Triathlon was available, I'd pack my Samurai and skip a load... Spectre. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

I've seen TopGun on Nitrous. At least the first 25 minutes... When they pulled my wisdom teeth they gave me a selection of movies (TopGun), a set of headphones, and turned on the nitrous. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

I'm camera shy. I end up using the photo of someone who looks very similar to me for an avatar... Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

The truth to women..Oh yes. I am sharing the secrets!

Ultimately, mis-routed cypres loops should always be checked for. I agree that the loop has to be too long in the first place to close it with the loop mis-routed. If the check reveals the loop is mis-routed it could be either a long loop and/ or a twisted cable. Address both possible problems and proceed with closing the container.

I think the coiling of the cables and the twisting of the cables are two topologically different phenomena. I don't think the installation sequence affects it. It either has a twist or it doesn't. The same way you could take an untwisted brake line and coil it up wouldn't affect the twisting of the brake line. I'm suggesting that it's possible to put a twist in the cable when the cutter is being run thu the housing to its elastic holder independent of any other steps taken installing the cypres and coiling the excess cable. I could be mistaken.

If you can smell it so can he... Any good lie will work. Guys are gullible. Although, if you have "Freshly Fucked" hair, you're busted. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

Samurai136 replied to davelepka's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Dave, I see your point. It is kind of sad that the USPA isn't doing anything to change, or improve, it's own rules about canopy piloting, safe piloting skills, having "USPA Certified canopy instructors", etc. On the other hand those changes being discussed really don't guarantee any improvement over the status quo. A real change over the status quo is to have safer canopy pilots. The quickest route I know of to acheive this goal is Needles' recomendation to take a professional canopy control course. Why wait for the USPA to do something? A good solution to the problem exists. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken -
Just another observation how this sort of thing happens. My first impression reading Sid's site a couple years ago was that a cypres loop built too long had wrapped around the cutter during the closing sequence and was not caught, or checked. This is certainly one cause. A few weeks ago I got both my cypres back from SSK and was packing my reserves. During my checks I discovered the mis-routed phenomena happening right in front of my eyes! The cypres loop was the correct length. During the installation of the cypres and routing the cutter through its channel, the line from the cutter to the unit had become twisted. The same way a brake line can be twisted. Once the cutter was in its elastic holder, the loop routed through the cutter, the twist gradually worked it way out of the line. The only way for twist to work out of the line is for the cutter to rotate, causing the loop to become wrapped around the cutter. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

WHAT!?!?!? Next you're going to tell me the real story about the wildlife 'sleeping' by the side of the highway.... Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

I'm really dense. One of the few signs that gets thru to me... She inserts an index finger in the belt loop either side of the fly on my jeans, pulls me close so I'm looking in her eyes and says, "I think I like you...". Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

Very cool idea. It reminds me of a funneled meeker exit once upon a time... No one dropped grips and by the time it stabilized we were all on our backs. When can we see an X-ray of Ian's arm? Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

*bump* Check out this guy's other e-bay sales. His most recent sale claims there is a riddle for a link to video on the web of his cheating wife. Anyone who figures it out Send me a PM. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

The linked auction just ended. Now this guy is throwing his soon to be ex-wife's clothes in a box and selling it. He even has an MP3 of his wife's response to this auction!!! I'm not sure if I want to spend more than $100 bucks on this auction... Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

Stick a Nerf football in there. It will help you develop the technique Kevin's talking about and tends to inhibit the machine from "taking off". Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

What do you do when you have stuff on your mind?
Samurai136 replied to WrongWay's topic in The Bonfire
Goto you local neighborhood dive bar and drink some beers. Sit at the bar and watch TV. This will allow you to: 1. Get drunk 2. Listen to other people's problems and gripes in their life. This minimizes your problems (maybe) by realizing you are not alone. 3. Might end up talking to someone who will listen to you talk about your problems. A wise old man once told me that all of life's problems can be solved with beer and conversation. -

I just about walked out, too. 1. Old nekkid tanned wrinkled sagg'n boobs. 2. Mis-treatment of "retards". Seriously Not funny. 3. Stalker humor. Very Offensive. 4. Brett Farve, C'mon... unbelievable. Somehow I survived. Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

My low tech solution was to put a BIG sign in the bathroom that says, "If it's morning, Take your Meds!" Ken "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
