Well, that was entertaining. Real graceful. Must be a ballet dancer. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

My Dzo thinks I am ready for my 135, and using the guidlines I've seen posted here I think I am, too. I just saw that rig and thought maybe the larger canopy would be safer. I could allways put my hornet in it and sell the heatwave. Thanks Dave. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

I am currently jumping an Aeroglide 160. I have a new Hornet 135 I plan to start jumping in the next 25-50 jumps. ( I weigh 155 lbs.) I want to buy a new container to put it in because it is going to feel very loose in my cuurent container. If I buy a brand new container then I have to get a reserve, and I also want to buy a cypress. I saw a Mirage G3 (M3) with cypress reserve and a heatwave 150. If I went with a set up like this, am I better off jumping the heatwave because it is larger, even though it is fully elliptical or am I better off jumping the smaller semi-elliptical hornet.

Too funny! Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

Damnit! I guess I'll just have to put my 135 Hornet in my rig and end this discussion. At least I'll look cool when I crash and burn. (Note to all the canopy nazi's: That is a joke) Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

OK, I got the question (I think). Now I just have to figure out the answer. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

Sandor said it's magenta, and he's the DZO and the DZO is always right. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

Should you let him jump? Hell, I wouldn't even let him on the dropzone. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

You must really love skydiving. Glad to have you here with us. That's gonna get really expensive when the kids are old enough to jump. Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

New data on child deaths released--How involved are guns really?
beemertec replied to mnischalke's topic in The Bonfire
Which is exactly why I think everyone buying a gun should go through the process of getting a concealed weapons permit first. It requires a more extensive background check. Once they have the permit, the instant background check would be fine for further purchases. The permit has to be renewed every five years in GA. Will this stop people from killing other people with guns? No, it will not, but it might help. In Georgia (I do not know about other states) there has never been a case of someone with a valid concealed weapons permit commiting murder. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's a more thorough check. I think that is fair. I would love to see accidental gun deaths in children reduced to zero, but even if we banned all guns that would not happen. When I wanted a drivers license, I had to go to drivers ed. I had to know some basics and watch the gory "idiot drivers getting hit by trains" videos. I also had to physically demonstrate my aptitude before getting the license. It ought to be at least as hard to buy a handgun as to get a drivers license. *** In Georgia it is harder to buy a handgun than get a drivers license. I agree with you that education is the way to go. Maybe something similar to the hunters safety course many states require to get a hunting license.

beemertec replied to mnischalke's topic in The Bonfire
I agree with you on finding middle ground. I think a lot of pro-gun people fear a complete banning of guns a little at a time. At the same time extreme anti-gun pepople want exactly that. I own guns, and I have no problem with some degree of gun control. I am for background checks. I have a concealed weapons permit and it took about 1 month to get it. I think the instant background checks are fine for buying a gun as far as convenience is concerned, but I personally like the cool down period some states have. I have my guns registered and I do not have a problem with that. I do have a problem with some anti gun advocates trying to push the ban of semi-automatic weapons. My shotgun that I use for sporting clays is a semi-automatic and although I could use an over and under for this sport I like the reduced recoil of the semi-automatic. Bottom line: In my opinion resistration and background checks are fine. Bans on particular types of guns are not.

I am certain Mike was being sarcastic in his post, but if someone posts that we need to get rid of guns based on the report that was posted, then Mike is right. We should get rid of the things that kill the most children and work our way down the list. I think we need to look at the bigger picture, which says the deaths are down and figure out why. Gun related deaths are not down because there are less guns. My theory is gun related deaths are down do to parents educating their children about guns and proper storage of the weapons i.e. guns and ammo locked up in seperate locations. When I was growing up I did not know any of my friends that were killed or injured from a gun and we all had guns in our houses. We grew up hunting and shooting sporting clays, etc. We also knew never point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill, and don't kill anything you don't intend to eat. Education is the key to reducing gun related deaths, just like proper drivers education and a real driving test would reduce automobile fatalities.

Re: [darkvapor] Christian Ministry to Skydivers
beemertec replied to lurch's topic in Speakers Corner
Cool. The only reason I asked is because a lot of people that do not believe in God, the bible etc. will blindly believe anything they read in a history book. I use the revolutionary war as an example. In the US the war is portrayed much differently than it is over in the UK. Obviously the war happened, but what is in the history books is as you said "weighted". Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it! -

Sounds like your about to burst a blood vessel. Go have a few drinks and you'll feel better. If they shipped UPS ground it may take an extra day or two. I'll take pics next time your in Thomaston if you want. Relax, and enjoy the rest of the day. You can't jump your rig today anyway.

Re: [darkvapor] Christian Ministry to Skydivers
beemertec replied to lurch's topic in Speakers Corner
I have to admit I have enjoyed reading this thread. I am a Christian and you are not, and that's fine. I am not going to spend time trying to convince you of anything. It is clear to me from your posts that you are intelligent and capable of making your own decisions concerning religion. I did want to point out though that all of your arguments are based on mathematical proof and scientific evidence. Do you accept anything as true based on literary, archeological, or historical evidence? Blue Skies Steve Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!
