  1. A ROOSTER NAMED RALPH

    A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he
    goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a
    rooster that he would sell.

    The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named Ralph.
    He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."

    Well, Ralph the rooster costs $3,000.00, a lot of money, but the farmer
    decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Ralph.

    The farmer takes Ralph home and sets him down in the barnyard, but first he
    gave the rooster a pep talk. "I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a
    lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money.
    Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have
    some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.

    Ralph seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house and
    Ralph takes off like a shot.

    WHAM! Ralph nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and
    the farmer is really shocked.

    After that, the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen and,sure enough,
    Ralph is in there.

    Later, the farmer sees Ralph after a flock of geese down by the lake.

    Once again - WHAM! He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Ralph out in
    the fields chasing quail and pheasants.

    The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster won't even
    last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next
    morning to find Ralph on his back out in the middle of the yard, mouth
    open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the air.
    Buzzards are circling overhead.

    The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal,
    shakes his head and says, "Oh, Ralph, I told you to pace yourself. I tried
    to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."

    Ralph opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and
    says,"Shhhh! They're getting closer."

  2. "On that chart, is there any reason why a Triathlon 175 has a 382 cu in volume while a Triathlon 160 has a 419? "

    The 160 numbers are PIA...
    The 175 numbers are from a diferent source..mfr?
    ( Numbers in bold type )

    My experience has been that the PIA numbers are
    closer to container mfr. numbers.

    I also, would like to see some numbers on the TRI 210...

  3. I strongly advise investing in the packing tape from Aerodyne...
    The tape I got was made before my Mk5 (2003)...

    Not only did it take all the mystery out of pro-packing, but it's method produced perfect opennings.

    Cliff is indeed "da man" when it comes to Triathlons,
    but if you are like me, verbal & written pro-pack proceedures can be dificult to to recreate while packing...

    GET THE TAPE!

  8. You can have baseball air time...
    You can have basketball air time...
    You can have soccer air time...
    You can have hockey air time...

    You can make Skydiving an Olympic sport (Please)...

    You CANNOT have my football air time...
    I have waited too long...

  9. The local rag here in KC has Miami interested in
    Larry Johnson...

    If this is true...I would like to see KC get some
    good value...

    My list begins at CB...
    WR...
    Interior Defensive line...
    Interior Ofensive Line...

    Posibly a line backer or a QB...

    Any takes on Miami's talent at these positions?

  11. I have read that the film filters work, but they can
    "melt" or loose properties...(Check with the mfr)

    I was going to use a filter (See attachment) for a similar application, that being a "Q beam" or hand held spot...(5 3/8 dia.)...you might consider that option (Attachment is from '99)

  12. I saw a guy catch a main, & bring it back to the dz
    (Many years ago)

    I remember thinking...This is very cool...

    Some time later, the oportunity presented itself, and I went after a friend's main...
    When I finnally got this tumbling, flailing, mass of garbage in front of me, (Not easy considering it
    did not have a constant fall rate),...I decided not to
    attempt to catch it, & followed it down...
    This decision was based more on the fear of what this thing could do to ME rather than my canopy.

    I remember thinking...anybody who could pull this
    off without killing themselves was damn good...
    kind of like crew dogs & base jumpers...BUT...

    In the words of Nan Woods...
    "I'm having too much fun skydiving to kill myself
    like that."

  19. Been there 4 times in the last month...

    Still can't get over it....

    It's like the good ones grow up & move to CA...

  21. I find the 'sabre' 135 listed as 143 sq ft in ParaGear's chart ...(not in bold type, so..from the PIA).....
    Since PD makes a 135 in sabre & sabre 2.... I am guessing the 143 comes from the sabre because of the age of the PIA figures...
    They're both 'probably' the same...

    My guess is yes...
    Don't know about the stilletto, but what riggerrob says makes sense.
