Not that I post much, but since you brought it up... In the basement, relegated to digital recorder/guitar duties; Analog Fisher Studio Standard connected to a like pair of Fisher towers with 12inch woofers. It gets with it, if you ask. Upstairs; Boring new Harmon Kardon theater amp, but connected to two Carver TFM 15' CB, 200 watt, bridged so one per channel, connected to factory assembled pair of Speakerlab Super 7's. It is so clean you can only tell it is loud when somebody tries to talk to you, and you only see their lips move, but you can't quite hear them. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Oh goodness, not under a rock. Just the other side of it, out of view. Livin' an lovin'. I hope the same all around. Dredgin' up an old thread...Oh well. I cruise by once in a while to see what's up. ---------------------------- bzzzz

No. They are very kind, in spite of the drunk dials... ---------------------------- bzzzz

...Good call. on that pistol. If the masses only knew... ---------------------------- bzzzz

I really think light bulbs should be done away with. Look at this headline from today's www.cnn.com. • Watch: Lightbulbs scar girl, force a dim childhood They are just to dangerous for today's society. What if the terrorists start using them? Then what? ---------------------------- bzzzz

Mikey's hair is brown? Or the kid's? Niether one is possible, it has to be orange. Congratulations Mikey & Lena. Miss you guys. ---------------------------- bzzzz

I think the above is it. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Maker sure you spend some time playing with the drain in the kitchen. Some days, the water drains by spinning to the left, some days it goes to the right. Some days, it just doesn't care, and will go whichever way you start it going. hmm. I know there are better things to do there, but that tripped me out for weeks. I always felt safe in Quito. It may have changed, but it used to be mellow, reasonably, anway. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Looks good. You might want to think about completely finish that flair. In that situation, it was great, and no problem, but if you switch to a smaller canopy, or have a bit less/no wind at the end of the landing, you will want it to slow you down as much as possible. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Yeah, Nigel, nice to see you post, but tell us, since your profile doesn't reveal it, What is your BASS number? Sorry, couldn't resist that one. TowerDude, if you want to do it once, then go to Potato land with somebody that knows what they are doing, knows how to teach, has the gear, and likes you enough to put you off the rail. That's a taste of it. If, after that, you want to continue, then go for the full course. And yeah then the money for it is totally worth it, because they don't just teach you how to get off that bridge, but they try to teach you to be a BASE jumper. The guy that put me off the Potato bridge knows what he is doing, builds one of the best rigs "not" on the market, jumped by some "world class" people, but... His first jump, was on a rig he built, off a bridge with a sketch landing, and none of us would go with him, because we didn't want to see him die. He did great, but that is the kind of experience you will get if you don't have a great BASE friend, or aren't willing to pony up the money to pay for real instruction. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Ah heck, I'll play. 4 years ago, I was either going to get a pilots license, or skydive. ONCE. oops, should have started with the license. But, as a result of skydiving, I have my pilots license, love to fly, and especially, love to land it. I'll likely eventually fly jumpers, but mostly for fun. That Caravan is a kick to fly. Her is my latest shop project. www.northwindrigging.com/fisher/fp303.htm I'm sure I'll soon have some video of some sort of stupid skydiver tricks with it. ---------------------------- bzzzz

That was a fun load. I said to his wife, 'See those guys? That is your husband. Now see that? That is their first parachute, they are under a reserve.' She tipped me too. I don't think so much that you saved her husband's life, but that she thought it was so funny that he got a "double" parachute ride, and that she had so much fun. She was pretty cool. And yeah, I get my share of tips too. I never say 'no'. I think they are appropriate for a job well done, but should never be expected or taken for granted. ---------------------------- bzzzz

This makes me kinda sick. The poor lemmings have been slandered throughout history to the point that people actually believe they are suicidal. There're not, some mass murderer makeing a Disney film pushed 'em off a cliff. So, not only do they get killed, the get blamed for doing it to themselves. Just a bad day in rodent history. So does the masses believeing lemmings are "lemmings" make those believers themselves into the mythical lemmings? ---------------------------- bzzzz

I don't think I would do it. It can handle it, but I think the sweetspot is around 2, 2.1. They swoop great, and shut down way better than your Stiletto at that loading. If you want to load up from there, you have the option, but you can't lighten from 2.4 to 2.1. ---------------------------- bzzzz
