  15. I always loved the sound of a D-18 starting up...
    like ten Harleys...

    Makes me wonder why nobody has ever tried bolting
    3 v-twins together, one behind the other, rotated 120 degrees...

    Kind of a do-it-yourself Pratt & Whitney

    ?

  18. I got an Ipod...

    Pros;
    Plenty of room for .wav files...
    (I CAN hear the diference between Ipod's .4mp files & .wav...& I'm half deaf) edit; when used with home system...
    Good storage for back-up...(Can be used as hard-drive)
    Well built...

    Cons;
    Areal pain in the ass to interface with windows...
    You can only download .4mp files from Itunes site..
    When you reload your system you have to re-authorize your computer...you can only do this 5 times...(Then your purchased music turns into pumkins)...
    Battery is built in ..must send to facyory to change...

    If I had it to do over...I would go with a windows based machine

  23. I don't believe my cold jumps were below 20 degrees...but remember, a ground temp of 20+ degrees equates to lower temps aloft...add in the wind chill at 100mph...(If you reach terminal)...
    This produces, in unprotected hands, what I believe to be the beginnings of frostbite, which is painful in the extreme!..
    And that's on your hands...I can't imagine what it would do to more sensitive "members" of the human body.
    Even if you don't reach terminal, as in a hopnpop
    from say 3000'...You will have enough time aloft
    to freeze your ass off...
    Save the naked jumps for warm temps...
    If you're gonna jump cold temps... bundle up & don't forget the gloves!

    PS. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that even 40 degrees on the ground can equate to 0 degrees aloft
