  1. A judge can do pretty much anything on a whim. Banning skydiving during the visitation of your child isn't something I'd be worried about.
  2. It's an invaluable tool, but idiots keep deploying them when they don't need to (there's a hilarious write up I have somewhere) or using the parachute to justify a bad decision. I think the Cirrus is largely the aviation equivalent of rapid downsizing, or low time jumpers with a camera setup. They are a wonderful airplane, but I think they successfully market to folks with a whole lot more dollars than sense. Source for said unnecessary deployments and justifications? I'd like to read them.
  3. If it's banned during visitation who cares. Why would he want to spend his time jumping when he is supposed to be visiting his kid anyway?
  4. There is probably a bit of truth to pilots being more reckless because of the safe feeling of the parachute, but it really is a tremendous safety feature and shouldn't be abused or used as an excuse to be careless (obviously). A lot of that mentality has to also do with quality of training.
  5. Well Cirrus didn't really have a choice. They were out of money. I agree that I wish it would have stayed a U.S. company, but I don't think it would have gone well for much long. Now the Vision project can continue and Cirrus is able to develop new aircraft, features, and technology.
  6. Took 2 seconds to find in a google search http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EC7MJA?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwgroovykidg-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001EC7MJA
  7. The Chinese buying Cirrus isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nothing has really changed and they've provided funding in order to continue moving forward with the Vision Jet.
  8. Yeah my bet is the wind. Cirrus makes an incredible aircraft with amazing safety features, especially in the newer models.
  9. I'd be more upset with my s/o, but almost equally pissed at the friend. Either way, both relationships would be over.
  10. I didn't realize Louisiana had such bad drivers...
  11. It's almost as bad as wearing ugg boots with shorts. Trailer.
  12. Conundrum

    Pizza!

    I haven't had either but I hear Chicago has amazing pizza.
  13. You can buy my Triathlon 135 if you want.
  14. Manual. I learned how to drive driving a manual. Having an automatic would drive me nuts. I enjoy being able to *drive* my car on a deeper level than just hitting the gas or brake. /sappyaboutcars?
  15. wtf, what type of person asks about kids on THE 5TH DATE?
  16. I don't get it. If you're breaking up, what's so hard about just moving on? And if there's some reason you need to be seeing that person still, why are you breaking up?
  17. Did I miss it? Where does it say this issue had been resolved?
  18. Dr. Oz says to drink red wine every night. I obey the doctor. 1 to 3 drinks daily is actually good for you.
  19. ooohhh. . . Please don't tell me you have leaned this bit of info by experience. I remember a quite handsome Staffordshire-esque hound you posted pictures some years ago. I know a bit about the legal system and taking people to court because of work stuff (non paying clients). I've never had any issues with my pets.
