my personal experience and opinion is that he Sigma is WAY better than the Vector 2 (which I first trained on) largely because of the positioning of the drogue. When I came to buy I bought a Racer. I have never jumped a Strong....... happy hunting

You got my "Party" thread moved to Speaker's Corner (where I won't go) - you all need a sense of humor transplant and some some serious psychotherapy to move beyond the juvenile Double Entendre threads....

I'm gone - have a nice day!

LOL - actually iy took me 5 minutes to find where to put the key! Fucking german engineering, who puts the key in the dash??????????

Uhh...just about everyone? The confusing part on that car is that it's on the left (door) side of the steering wheel instead of the right.

Blues,
Dave

well, on my good ole "Merican Buick it's on the steering column! Where God intended it to be! btw I was advised to cover the license plate for legal reasons (like I mighta shouldnta be drivin' it), so I fixed it right up!!!!!!!!!!!!

This statement is not true Beezy. Everytime anyone shops at Walmart, the grocery store, buys gas, goes to dinner, etc. they are paying taxes. In Athens alone our sales tax is 10%. They may not be paying the gov't directly, but they definately are paying taxes.

True, but that is only sales tax. The taxes he was referring to is income tax (which is typically around 28% of your gross income). We, the citizens of the United States, have to pay that 28% on our gross income and then pay whatever sales tax, in your case 10%, when we go to spend our net income...

There is a huge difference in what we pay vs. the illegals...

STOP IT!!!!!!!!! are you all fucking crazy? Go to Speakers Corner with this shit - I'm talking Cinco De Mayo Baby!!!!!!! Eat, Drink! Celebrate the French getting their ass kicked - now PARTY (that's an order - and that is all)

On saturday, my friend and teamate Fritz tried to take me to China the short way (through the earth). He hurt his ankles and feet so bad he couldn't drive home - so I guess I won a Porche.

In the attached pic of me taking the car out for breakfast there's a subtle hand signal if you look closely where I'm showing him "I GOT DA KEYS BABY!!!!!!!!"

BEEZY!!!!!!!!! You are one of my favorite people in this bidnez, but don't spoil my HOLIDAY thread. This is Cinco De Mayo!!!!!!!!!

It's about drinking good tequila, eating "tastes so good, but clogs your arteries" food and celebrating your inner mexican.......

Viva la revolucion (now go take your illegals stuff to Speaker's Corner and let's go shoot some badgers!!!!!!!!!!)

My favorite Holiday!!!!!!!!!!! Let loose your Inner Mexican, drink Tequila, eat Fajitas and shoot a badger, 'cause as Sancho Panza said, "Badgers....we don't need no steenkin' badgers"

- sorry I've just been told that should be badges - nevermind about the badgers, but hey! Celebrate the defeat of the steenkin' french and VIVA CINCO DE MAYO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited to add: So, it would be OK for a DZ packer to pack a reserve, as he is under the supervision of a rigger? Does that happen?

If that person is training to be a rigger, it could happen. We all had to start somewhere and you generally start by packing under the direct supervision of a rigger. However, the supervising rigger is sealing and declaring that system airworthy, so you'd better believe he/she is supervising it........

I return a rig the way it came to me. If it comes ready to jump, it goes back that way, but with my pack job on the main. I always tell the customer that it's my pack job and if they want to repack it I won't be offended (some people have packing idiosynchracies that they believe "tame" or "control" their main pack job, I'm not going to argue with that).

Fla needs to tell the tree huggers to fuck off and have controled burns.

I noticed. when I was in Florida last, that they are calling them "prescribed burns" now, because I tell you what, sometimes you just can't control'em!!!!!!!

who is dane kenny?

it's way better that you never find out

Everyone wants to be Chuck Norris. But then again, Chuck Norris wants to be Dane Kenney.

(BTW Dane Kenney's tears cure cancer. Unfortunately, he has never cried.)

That is all.

ohhhh - you're gonna be in trouble if Dane sees this (and he SEES everything)

and why do most of them want to do a tandem and put "210 lbs" on the waiver

"I can't think of any other job where it's got progressivly trickier (Zero P canopies in tight little containers) and the pay scale has stayed the same."

How `bout musician? $100/night was typical in the 80's -- still true today

Did the music get trickier (just kiddin') ?

Quote

Ah, that's obviously Photoshopped! I would NEVER make gestures like that!

me?

Hey, i'm from canada and here it is $5 for a pack job and $10 for a tandem pack job. How much money do you make from a pack jpb in the US....say in California??

I've been packing professionaly for 11 years and mains are still $5 here (although we get $12 for a tandem). I can't think of any other job where it's got progressivly trickier (Zero P canopies in tight little containers) and the pay scale has stayed the same.

You used to be able to get a lap dance for $5, it's $10 now..... I need to charge more!

Quote

Actually it would be "Sir, please Sir, im sorry Sir but that is the rules Sir"

Smiling but still mad!

it's been a while since I was in England, but didn't they call those people "Jobsworths"? As in, I'd like to Sir, but it's more than my Job's Worth?

I remember doing a demo over Jax Beach on July 4th, three of us were wearing smoke and Jeff was jumping the flag. The 3 way with smoke (red white and blue) climbed out, and Ralphie popped the smoke then stuck his leg back in the plane - Jim Basse (skydiverdriver) was NOT amused (well he was but he wouldn't admit it).
