  3. Hi chap, If the riser lug fits (is made for) the harness end it's OK as is! People have hacked and chopped on "Capewells" going and comming!! Get with an old fart rigger that "Knows" this stuff to be sure!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  4. Hi skymama, When your dad gets to San Diego just follow I-8 to the bitter west end into "Ocean Beach" and out to Pt. Loma. There's the Rosecrans Military Cemetary at the end of the point and you can see all of Coronado, San Diego and on a good day to Mexico. Quite the sight. I guess you can call it the far end of America. I used to live in "OB" back in the early 70's, 'heard it hasn't changed much. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  5. Hi Howard, That's quite a post for quite a guy!! Perhaps if anybody's interested, a "missing man sunset formation load" at the DZ this weekend (your DZ, My DZ, any DZ) may be in order. The 4th of july just passed so maybe Labor Day weekend would be a good one, any weekend. We can post photos here. Just a passing thought. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

  8. Hi ga-w, Don't know yet? 'Got a '99 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the big V-6, 200K+ mi. on it, 1 H2O pump and 1 set of plugs and wires, and some tires. Now with the upheavel who knows what will happen tomorrow less next week!! I like my Silverado and the '91 S-10 I had before it till Willy Ray Rouse biffed it to pieces!! If they quit makin Silverado's it would be a real drag!! Some Guy had a '91 silverado on E-bay a while back, claimed it had the original block in it and over "1 million miles!!!!" good service I'd say!! As for Fords, I had a '83 Econoline 150 4-speed stick that was pretty good, well maybe? 200K+ mi in 8 yrs and 3 clutches, 2 H2O pumps, 2 heater cores and tires. Also after a few years, the electrical/ignition sys would go nutso in any kind of moisture!!!! replaced 3 units,wires and plugs!! 'Wonder if Ford ever figgured that problem out??????

  10. Hi Stan, "Should be a general standard!!....says who???" Why I've seen some people start freeflying on their very first jump!!!!* # Whether they survived or not is subject for another discussion. "Numbers" are elusive! If you can do a backloop or barrel roll (you should have already before you got your "A") 'yer freeflyn'!!! (*) PS Why do 'ya think instructors get grey hair???? (#)PPS And some of those were on "Static Line!!!!" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  11. Hi Chris, Although it's been 10 years since your last jump, I'd bet that your "re-training" will be short and easy!! Just relax and go with the flow. Check out the "red sky" after you land, 'nothing like blowing the rust off and the "Cold Beer" afterward!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  12. Hi doc, The Sherri North (Strip club dancer that Hackman picks up) boobs are the real thing but I've heard that the Deborah Kerr boobs are a stand in or should I say "lay in??" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  13. Did you really read this story? The tittle does not quite tell the story. Try speding your horizons and read some "other" sources, put it together and then maybe come back with an opinion OK www.newsweek.com/id/205958 CIA tell lies? No, it could NEVER happen. Uhh, are you READING the links you are posting? Hi Rushy, 'Read the links, it's been 2 mos. and 6 pages since this story started!! 'Ya would think with all the other news since this story got buried, the dems and madame queen would have left sleeping dogs lay but "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" They must really have it bad for Leon?? One would think that all queenie would have to do is snap her finger and have barry fire the guy, why hasn't he???? OK skybillishy, I'll bite, WHY? Hi rush, 'Don't know?? What goes on in the mind of a dem defies logic!! queenie P's giberish and dogeral along with her hand girations like she's addressing a kiddiegarden class is sheer buffonery!! Perhaps tying her hands behind her back may help?? Probably each side will just continue to bash the other with an ensuing stalemate. life as usual inside the beltway.

  15. Hi RS, The whole trip with SAPPS is a funny from a few years ago when flouresent pink, green and other colors were the rage!! Some of the old fart DZ types that liked the bland bounce and blend tans, browns and black got a bit torqued!! Oh well, .. One thing for sure, the "Hi-Viz" colors on rigs, chutes and suits are good for "Collision Avoidance AT 120 mph!!!!" My next suit that I'm working on is Purple, Gold and Green, Mardi Gras colors!!

  16. Hi Stevie, To add on a bit about the "dried out-wet reserve" back a few cases of beer ago I used to work for scurvyirvin scare-o-space and we built all kinds of chutes, mainly non-personnel, and because of customer requirements we usually had to get a lot of chute in a very small and wierd shaped space. "so," we broke out the hydraulic ram and a lot of em' got squeezed to the density of 50 lbs. per cubic foot!!! Then we wrapped the thing in a plastic envelope, hooked it up to a vacuum pump and "baked" it in a large oven we had at 180*F for usually 8 hrs. S.O.P. "They worked!!" Don't know what kind of rig that JB's buddy had that table totaled but the question I have is why didn't the spring from the P/C have enough strength to kick open a couple of flaps?? May have been some other reasons besides being "dried out" that kept it shut?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  17. Hi Stevie, Shows to go ya' the dif xtwn a bellywart and a pig! Bellywarts don't need a Jesus cord and they are in a good location for easy access to beat on to get to work!! 'Seen a few dried out pack jobs on the table all crinkled up!! Would they have worked?? I'd still not want that to be the last egg in the basket to use!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  18. Hi geek, "Pink!!" did you say "Pink?!!" Yup, they got pink probably because the mfgr couldn't sell them and SDE got a "Good Deal!!" You should complain to "SAPPS!" Skydivers Against Pink And Purple Shit!!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  19. Hi JB, "Thats A Good One!!!" Shows to go ya' a "still wet" canopy may gve ya' a rock hard opening whereas after it dries out "in the pack" it will be "ROCK HARD!!!" with no opening!! The Reaper Lurks!!! BSBDJB!!!!!!!! Good hearin' from ya'!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  20. Hi leks, And the band in the Freak Brothers movie in the party scene was the "Booze Brothers!!" They were at the '84 FBC in Freakport. Good show! "Snake and Doogwood" I believe?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
  21. Hi Wendy, Interesting observation. People break pot laws all the time everywhere and nobody does anything about it except the local constabulatory. Funny thing about "pot" is its acceptance in spite of its illegality and you may ask why? A person who breaks the law but "accepts" the law is a mere "Transgressor," a person who breaks the law but does "not accept" the law is a "Revolutionary!" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

  23. Hi phile, There was one other. Back in the old round canopy, cardinal Puff daze at Old Elsinore there was a jumper that didn't drink so he did the Cardinal Puff "Pope" ritual with Pepsicola and became the first and only as far as I know "Pepsi Cola Pope!!" The regular Pope ritual is the Supreme Cardinal ritual done with 64 ozs. of Beer in a beer pitcher and has to be done in a 10 minute time limit!! 64 ozs. of Pepsi in 10 minutes??......"""B-U-R-P!!!!!"""""
