Hmm... That's how I met my wife.. Been married a year now. (She is a non-jumper...)

Using the Bit torrent client is NOT illegal, Just what you seem to be using it for is. I know a lot of people that share music from live shows that the bands allow "tapers" to tape the show, a few hours after the show the torrents are online for download. So the program you are using can be used for legal downloading, and it save the file host a ton of bandwith by using other clients that are downloading the same file to pass the info along.

That is what I did. went and got a few (10) batteries.

You are right, Not a good answer. I mostly Drive.. Get to the DZ, get ready to jump, Oh, wait, where did I put my screwdriver... I pretty much just try not to think about the money I've spent on it. Maybe they will put in a "off button" at some point. They told me that they would think about it if they got requests for it. For now, I'll just keep a few extra batteries around and a screwdriver... (My protrack works fine, I can even turn it off...

I travel a lot. (Mostly Driving) I can replace my battery, do a few jumps and the next weekend the battery would be dead or low. I've tried everything and now I just accept that it will always eat batteries. no backlight, no alarms, no buttons getting pressed in my gear bag..... I am going to get a hard case to store it in and then see how it does...

I've met a lot of "OLD"er people when jumping. Go do it. It's the best thing I've ever done. You could even be a member of POPS. (I think) www.thepops.org Membership requirements are that a person has made a parachute jump, or a tandem skydive, and is over forty years of age. An smaller group within POPS is the SOS - Skydivers over Sixty - and there even some JOES - Jumpers Over Eighty

It's all my fault. When it hit the coast I said, "It looks like it's headed straight for Lake Wales. It did. Some people from my DZ winter down there and I hope to go back down this winter to do some more jumps with some great people. I'm also glad to hear everyone is ok. It's just stuff. My family was in orlando and rode it out there. Good luck to everyone down there and I hope to visit this winter.

I was working not too far from 3 different DZ's. Guess who answered the phone? Not the others. Yes it is still winter and I know a lot of people are still down south. Today was a warm, blue sky day and all I could think about at work was jumping and (Aerohio) was only 15 miles from where I was. I guess it's still too cold for them, No one answered the phone. The last time I tried to get ahold of them they took 5 days to get back with me. 5 DAYS!!! I called canton and they answered with a, "hang on, let me shut this plane down" (just got off of a jump run) I got in my van and started out there. I did only get one jump in before it got all dark and cold out, but I still got a jump. I think from now on I'll tell anyone if they are in this area to go to Canton Air Sports.. I do not want to say anything bad about somewhere I have not been but I will say I had a great time at this dropzone.

Now I'm not one to give advice. I am just now getting my A Lic. I went ahead and got a used container and main(170). Got a New reserve(175) and Cypress 2. My WL is about .9 to 1. I'm well aware I'll want a new container and Main in about a year. I'm happy with it for now and only have to worry about the cost of a lift ticket or an occasional coach jump.
