Good recipe. As typical, fried, then softened by steaming (pressure cooker, in this case).

"Nucular" weapons, repeated about 30 times, is more GW's style.

Maybe you'd like the entire quote: ********************************* After his successful round of trapshooting Saturday (Kerry hit 17 of 25 targets), Kerry told a reporter he would rather have been hunting. He was asked in the interview Sunday what kind of hunting he preferred. “Probably I’d have to say deer. It’s tough, depending on where you are,” said Kerry. “I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach. I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them. You know, you kind of play the wind. That’s hunting,” said Kerry, whose manner was relaxed as he spoke on the final day of an excursion along the scenic upper Mississippi that he seemed to take some relish in.

Let's suppose, as someone said, that the full flight trim is faster than that for best glide ratio. As you start pulling down the brakes, the glide ratio improves. If you keep pulling down the brakes, the best glide ratio will be reached. Pull them down some more, and the glide ratio decreases again. Pull it just to the right point, and the glide ratio will be the same as in full flight, albeit at a slower speed and slower descent rate.

Go ahead and add the weight. You will be surprised how much difference 6 pounds will make -- about 3 feet per second with the same body position, if your exit weight is about 150 pounds. You may need more than that. You will be trying to get the center of your fall rate range adjusted to that of the people you jump with. At the same time, you should be learning to expand your own range. I find the weight more comfortable on my hips, using a belt, than on my shoulders, using a vest. The position of the weight requires slightly different freefall body position, but one gets used to that in a few jumps. Women often have a lower center of gravity than men (less shoulder muscle, more thigh), and can be more balanced by having the weight higher, and/or using a bootie suit. Booties add more drag, and will require more weight, maybe in the range of 4 pounds additional. You can probably borrow weight vests and belts for a few jumps, to see the difference.

Language/grammar is much better. Nothing wrong with conjugating in bed.

Yeah, I also used more harness to "fix" the problem. No problem on harder carves, just the smaller ones. Thanks for the tunes.

Hope I don't lemur in on my swoop.

I'd be interested in hearing about your experience on the Katana. I find it to dive quite nicely with a hard front riser carve, but to be really fidgetty (not smooth) when doing small front riser moves. For instance, just gently steering up high with fronts, the canopy sorta bucks around. Same for a long very slow front riser carve for landing. I've jumped the 107 and the 120, with exit weight of 177.

A friend told me about taking his kid night-diving for the first time. When they got back, the kid said "Dad, did you see all of the jewels!" What he had seen was the reflective eyes of all the shrimp, hanging out in crevices in the coral/rocks. I love night dives. It's just different and creepy enough to add an edge of excitement. You can see things at night that you might never see during the day. I saw one of these, http://www.dejavideo.net/palau-cucumber1.jpg, about 5 feet long, a couple of inches in diameter. We called it "the Hoover" since it looked like a vacuum cleaner hose.

What's funny about that? Nothing at all.

You could likely collapse the canopy that way, but the wind has nothing to do with it, as long as your control input is the same. There is a tendency to turn steeper in higher wind. e.g., as I start a 180, I seem not to be turning fast enough, since the higher-than-usual wind is taking me farther down wind. I compensate by turning faster to face into the wind, and by using more fronts to make my ground speed appear more normal. So, I am using more aggressive control. What I should do, is start the whole maneuver farther upwind, and realize that the sight picture will be different.

The amount of wind has absolutely nothing to do with it; gusts and/or turbulence may. I can't believe that people don't realize that they are just being carried along relative to the ground, and that the parachute doesn't "know" that the wind is blowing 20 knots rather than zero. The difference in ground speed changes the sight picture, and often causes the pilot to make different control inputs.

Don't forget the high-knee, and the kid-knees.

This disturbing thing is that "goat dick" was my first guess. Okay, second guess, after dog dick, but I discarded that after another look.

Amazon- How did you break your Sam?

What size is your pilot chute, and what size is your canopy? What type of canopy?

At my DZ a 3k hop and pop is $6.

I have an old single-altitude Dytter, which I set at an altitude where I should be well into my track, typically 3000 feet. An exception was the 357-way, where I set it 1000 feet higher than breakoff, as an indication to a) be docked, and b) watch the base for the break-off key.

Here was my take: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1048831#1048831 I'm still waiting on the Katana 107 demo to show up.

>> 32. A white American 10 year old watches on average a staggering 500 hours of television a week, and sees at least ten full hours of Macdonald advertisments. Must not get much sleep, since there are not 500 hours in a week. There are several others obviously wrong. Wild guess is that most of them are.

Rest Inn is also close, not quite as close as the Pike. The Howard Johnson is more like 10 miles.
