Well I think its time for a new canopy. Had a hard opening, not real hard but not soft either, and upon inspecting my canopy noticed something odd in the center cell. It flew fine however. Crap it flaired great at 3000 and turned as expected. If it wasn't for the "odd" looking center cell I would have never guessed anything was wrong. After a careful landing I found that the center cell rib had torn about 1/2 down the length. Friends on the ground said the center cell looked very large. Looks like I am now in the market for a main. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

LOL It in the 60 and my hit low 70's today. Go So. Cal. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

With just 4 quick flips of the wrist the deed is done. Hey wait, this isn't the Masturbating thread. A jump ticket is on the way Sangiro. Thanks for all the work. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

LOL I just leave KBR (Kellogg Brown and Root) Too funny. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Are you using the most "current" version of the Internet? (I.T. joke) ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Why don't Polish girls use vibrators? Chips their teeth. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

First, Kris is right. You would be no good to your child in jail. Second, Dave is right. I would most likely be in jail if I were ever caught. I would not be caught however because they would never find the SOB's body. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

The song is perfect. If it weren't for the purple jump suit I would have sworn it was me on the film. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Awesome. Just what I needed. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Well for some of us this is bad news. We sell software in Europe. The Euro was at 1.08 to the dollar last September. This means roughly 17% loss in revenue with the same sales base. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Used when someone picks up something of mine. - "Keep your sticky little dick beaters of my (what ever they are holding)." In response to someone insinuating they and sex with my mother. - "What? Was the line too long for your mom?" General purpose. - "Fuck You JackHole!" ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Is this really needed? Your beautiful home looks like it should sleep about 25 to 30 close friends. We would be close friends by the morning. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Damn it, Remster beat me too it. I know that Lisa is way to smart to fall for such obvious sucking up. Its that sharp mind of hers, and not just the killer body, that I find most attractive. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

While I have no advice (never picked up the habit) but I am sending all the vibes I can brotha'. I feel sorry for all your Nanbudo workout partners. On second thought perhaps working out (AKA kicking the @#%& out of someone) will take your mind off of it for a while. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I think I speak for most guys here when I say that YES you wasted your chance here. Again speaking for most of us, I would have walked around applying chapstick every 5 minutes in the anticipation of a Skymama kiss. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Great job Ed.

Skiing this weekend but I will be there tonight. Night jumps for New Years. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Very Cool. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Hell I will be on your side Vallerina. Perhaps the guy is just an asshat and "thinks" he is funny for doing this. Take heart in the fact that we all love you. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

While I am NOT a drag racing fan (just never saw the point) I did find this facinating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subject: Acceleration One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows at the Daytona 500. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 gallon of nitromethane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster supercharger. With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive,the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle. At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitromethane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F. Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder. Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After, the engine is dieseling from compression, plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow. If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half. In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds dragsters must accelerate at an average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph well before half-track,the launch acceleration approaches 8G's. Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed Reading this sentence. Including the burnout the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load. The redline is actually quite high at 9500rpm. The Bottom Line; Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated US $1,000.00 per second. The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for the quarter mile (10/05/03, Tony Schumacher). The Top speed record is 333.00 mph (533 km/h) as measured over the last 66' of the run (09/28/03 Doug Kalitta). Putting all of this into perspective: You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter "twin-turbo" powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and past the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment. The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within 3 seconds the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it, from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race course. That, folks, is acceleration ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Damn that plane is fast. Unlike other King Air's that I have been in this plane has no "narrow benches" running down both sides of the fuselage, you are simply sitting on the floor. Then at 14000 the pilot pushes over the nose for a bit of zero G and all the sudden your standing. The hybred was very cool. I was forced to watch it on video but its all good. ------- D.T.
