  1. I second that. I've always had them send it to my rigger and have him be the third party for the transaction. _____________ PMS #394
  2. Wow, I just learned a whole bunch about shrinking and resizing pictures on my computer.
  3. Ok, are either of these better? Not for what need. It doesn't have to be a skydiving picture. Maybe third time's the charm. . . Pink Mafia Headshot? _____________ PMS #394

  5. I end up looking funny in most pictures, so here's one of my favorites, should be good for your purposes. . . my first zero gravity. . . _____________ PMS #394
  6. I go by the rule to get a reserve that will have the best chance to get you to the ground safely if you are unconcious under canopy. If you are not at the skill level to jump a 150 as a main, why would you want to have it as a reserve? _____________ PMS #394
  7. On a smaller scale, one of the reasons we decided to not go to a family holiday in town & to not travel to a family holiday out of town. Skydiving family is family anyway. _____________ PMS #394
  8. So as my husband and I get ready to host a very small dinner on Thanksgiving, just two guests. We made a very clear point to have these guests be from our skydiving family instead of our regular families. Is anyone else out there doing the same thing, on purpose or by accident? Ours was on purpose. _____________ PMS #394
  9. My mother in law loves clowns, I find them creepy. She had her whole house decorated with them when I first started dating my husband. Now they're ALL in one upstairs bedroom. I stay away from that room. EEEEWWW. _____________ PMS #394
  10. I always remember my Grandma saying to put the lid down "becuase no one wants to look in your toilet". I tend to agree. About five years ago there was a Dateline (or some show like that) that showed exactly how unsanitary it is to flush the toilet with the lid up. . . bacterial spray in about a six foot radius. And really, how big is the common bathroom? That convinced my husband and me to throw our toothbrushes away and to religiously put the seat and lid down. _____________ PMS #394
  11. It's really no big deal if you just bundle up like you're going skiing. Worst that could happen is you encounter some hail or snow, that's about it. Oh, I definately do bundle up. The pilot blasts the heat in the 182, so we don't really feel the cold until the door opens. I think the main difference for me this winter will be the helmet. My open face helmet last winter sucked. I got really windburned. _____________ PMS #394
  12. QuoteI know yall still jump. I question the sanity of it though. Quote Me too. _____________ PMS #394
  13. Yall just keep all that crappy weather up there. Im planning on making 10-12 jumps a month during the winter! We do still jump in the winter, just hop & pops in cloudy weather. . . or we freeze at altitude. . . I'll be buying a full face helmet this winter _____________ PMS #394
  14. That's a great statue!! _____________ PMS #394
  15. You guys getting the blustery winds we've had here in PDX along with the rain? I had to laugh at how many umbrellas I saw inside out yesterday at lunch. _____________ PMS #394
  16. I have two box turtles. They're pretty low maintenance. My husband and I left them with their food and water bowls for four days while at Chicks Rock and they were fine. I do want to get a French Bulldog at some point though. _____________ PMS #394
  17. ya can't touch that Ba Da Da Dat, BaDat BaDat. . . _____________ PMS #394
  18. It's so slippery that when I roll it (psycho pack), I can't even get a grip on all the layers of material, and eventually everything just squirts out at the other end of the roll. I have found with the psycho pack that when I roll the canopy, after getting the apex tucked in the fabric, I put my thumbs in each side & roll it slowly that way -- very little fabric squirting that way. Hope it helps. (BTW, I'm fitting a 170 into a 150 D-bag this way) It can also help to rest your palms on the canopy one roll short of putting the D-bag on it for just a minute, it helps squish out any extra air in the canopy. _____________ PMS #394
  19. That's great! I went to REI to find one to fit with my helmet & goggles (looking rather strange trying them all on at once in the store). I couldn't find one that fit snug enough to work with the chin strap of my helmet. I'm resigned to buying a full face helmet instead. _____________ PMS #394
  20. Hammer-man pants?? You'd have to finagle the fabric to get your rig on. . . _____________ PMS #394
  21. Those sound an awful lot like MC Hammer pants. _____________ PMS #394
  22. Geez, what is the chick next to her 4'8"???????? _____________ PMS #394
  23. btw, if you haven't seen TR in a while, you're gonna be sooooo surprised. he looks VERY different. Quote Saw him in Portland a month ago. F-ing spectacular, but I expected no less. TR's looking quite a bit like Henry Rollins to my eyes. Check out some of the pictures on www.nin.com/current . _____________ PMS #394
