I'll top it. After seeing just under 3 hours of the English Patient, the f*cking film broke just before the ending and they couldn't fix it. They gave me a ticket to come back to see it once it was fixed. No way in hell I was going to sit through it again. Don't care how it ended. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Do it. I keep mine trimmed real short. It only takes a couple of swipes with the bath towel to style it. Not uncommon to have a lady want to know what it feels like and give it a rub or two. Besides, ever hair cut saved is one more jump. One of the TIs at my DZ shaves her head and it looks hot. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Brian Germain has a way of packing the PC that in case of a premature deployment, the bridle pulls the PC out instead of bunching it in the BOC. It is pretty clear on his site. I went over it with him during his canopy skills course and learned a bit more. Not afraid of a horseshoe any more. www.bigairsportz.com/pilot-chute.php Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Speaking of drinking, who knew Geno could drink while asleep? He did have a comfy shoulder. Good times had by all.

Go with the Goose. They stock the 1.75L at Costco for a good price. Sorry I missed your reserve ride Geno. Repacks that aren't scheduled suck. I get mine back this weekend. Woo Hoo! Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I'm 5'8" standing up straight. So about 5'6" most of the time. I'm right in the middle of most size rigs. Didn't take long to find one with the size canopy I wanted. Mine fits me noice. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Sean, if I recall correctly, Beth and I offered to make out and you were... well, too shocked to respond, I think. You never know, though, especially if there are fireworks. They're kinda romantic, don't you think? Krisanne, I wasn't shocked, I just wasn't sure if I was invited to join in. I didn't want you to think that I was slutty. I'd rather keep you guessing for a while until you got to know me as the slut that I am. (Did I say that out loud?) And yes, I love fireworks. I belonged to a club in college called pi rho. Anything that goes bOOOOOm and makes pretty colors gets me all hot and wet. So if there are any fireworks at Perris his weekend, someone might just get lucky.

About 6 years old in San Diego. End of spring when the wild grass was real tall and slick. We would grab a big refrigerator box, pile on and go sliding down the hill at this ravine by the freeway. There was a big rock sticking up that we could never remember where it was. Each time we drug it back to the top, we would change who was in front. However was in front when we hit that rock would get taken out by everyone else behind. I think I still have a bruise from 30 years ago. Huh, I'm heading to SD this weekend. I wonder if I can find a box? Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Oh baby don't be like that. You know the others mean nothing to me! It's you honey, only you. And you said I was special... Fine. No more lingerie pillow fights for you, young lady. You can still have them with me Maybe this weekend I'll be there this weekend. If I bring the nighty my ex left at my place, can I join in?

Visiting the fam in San Diego. Hopefully a little tunel time in Perris. My rig is under repair, so no jumping. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I'm heading to San Diego for the weekend. I can drop you off on the way. I plan to visit for some tunnel time and evening celebrating. I haven't decided if I'm leaving Thursday night after work(from Dublin) or early Friday morning. Send me an email if this helps. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Had a buddy in the same boat. He decided to find a part time job he really loves, takes the occasional class to stay in academia and enjoys his hobbies/family.

I didn't know I was doing it wrong by putting it under until an Ex told me so. I just didn't realize how much harder it is having it under, to be able to wrap those 27 wraps of TP around your hand, so women can buff themselves dry. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

OK, OK, Cornholio was there too. He took the pictures. He took so many his battery died. I guess it's true, he does just like to watch. Now that just sounds kinky. Actually, he got us all the tickets for the boat to watch the fireworks(thanks dude). Free booze and food to go with it. I got invited late and we were one ticket short, but still got on because the guy giving out the passes was too drunk to realize I didn't have a ticket.

If you people are interested in tunnel time with RW coaching you need to get ahold of Dominic ASAP. I talked to him today and he said I was only the second person to ask him about it. I'm heading down to see my fam in San Diego over the weekend. Trying to talk my sister into some tunnel time (she has major motion sickness). Not sure when, but I'll be there sometime.

What really pisses me off is the person who has been waiting in line at the register while the clerk is ringing up their food/stuff. Instead of having wallet out and ready to pay, or god forbid their CHECKBOOK(stop, breathe, relax, think about puppy dogs. OK, much better), they act surprised and fumble around in a purse the size of a 100# sack of grain and wonder everybody behind them in line has that look of contempt on their face. People, please, once you put the last item on the belt, take out your wallet, remove method of payment and be ready to pay. The headache you prevent might be mine.

What do these people do? Wait, lurking behind the potted palm till you take that first bite to pounce down and ask 'that' question? That, drives me up a wall! My sister was a server. They actually give a class to get the timing just right. She had to take it twice because her timing sucked. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Peder, I'm a newbie, and so far, I have had my reserve out twice. I have a Sabre 170 and PDR 176 at about the same WL on the main. I like the fact I have a bigger reserve then main for all the reasons listed above(other then the dive loops). I want to choose when I downsize, not when forced to, low to the ground, with no previous experience on the canopy. You might be jumping at a DZ with a large landing area with great outs, but when you start traveling, that might not be the case. There are lots of used containers out there that fit our size which would hold a larger reserve. Before I bought my used rig, I asked my rigger, S&TA, and several instructors that jumped with me to make sure it was appropriate for my skill level. I even waited for a while after I got it to gain jump experience before I jumped it. No hurry. Ask those that know your skills for advice. Mine is worth what you paid for it.

I got some tunnel time between level 4 and 5. It was very helpful. It is pricey, but it most likely saved me repeating a level or two. It really helps you isolate little flaws in body position because of the reference you have in the smaller area in the tunnel. I was always dropping a shoulder during my pull. The first minute in the tunnel fixed that. Having the coach right there in front of you to identify any issues and give corrections while still in the airflow instead of on the ground is fantastic. My arch definitely improved as well. After I got back, my AFF-I said he could see the difference. Being more comfortable in the air, I felt more confident that I could complete each diveflow before I ran out of time. It actually made me more altitude aware because I felt I had the time to look at my alti. I learned the hard way that you can always lose aa. I just bought a audible to lessen the chance that it happens again. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Hey PG, I blew it on my last jump. Pulled low and scared the hell out of the people who saw what happened. I owe each one of them beer. The rest of the folks at the DZ took their turn to tell me to NEVER do that again, then asked if I wanted to go up on the next load. If you landed safe, it was a successful skydive. Just like nbblood said, take responsibility, ask for suggestions to learn how to improve and keep jumping. As my grandpa always said, Don't make the same mistake, there are plenty of new ones to go around. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

From what little experience I have, a canopy doesn't normally stall with brakes set. What tiny bit I remember from physics was once a body is in motion, it wants to stay going the same direction. I steered my main GENTLY to keep the reserve playing follow the leader with the main. With my biplane, the main with the brakes out and reserve with brakes set, the canopy was stable. I don't want to think about how two different canopies(9 cell main and 7 cell reserve) both with brakes released would react. The only advice I give is read the SIM and ask your S&TA about what to do. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I had two out recently. Not giving advice, just telling what happened. I have a Sabre and roll the nose to prevent a slammer. It actually snivels pretty nice. So, I lost altitude awareness, dumped low, and while the main is opening slowly, had my cypres fire. Didn't even know it happened. I had my toggles unstowed with a good main and was turning toward the landing area. The canopy feels a little strange flying. Take a second look up and have a side by side. I take a split second to look for outs while deciding if I want to chop the main. Look back up and now have a biplane, which appears stable and is steerable. I still thought about chopping, but the SIM popped in my head about keeping a biplane. With the brakes released, it looked like the main was pulling the reserve along. With the drag of the reserve, can't make it back, so aim for my best option. I gently steered the main to an effective PLF landing. Only flared a tiny bit. Having twice the canopy overhead with a slow approach helped me make it into a pretty tight out. I'm not sure if it was the textbook thing to do, but it got me safely to the ground with only minor bruising to my leg and my pride. Once again, not advice, just what got me down alive unbroke. Two lessons I did learn. 1. Watch my F*CKING alti so I don't have two out in the first place. 2. Go over the EPs so they are something you don't have to think about, but something you just do.

Something like that happened to my brother as we were helping a different brother move across country. We had been driving since early morning and stopped at a truck stop for breakfast. We are getting ready to leave and both have the voice of our Dad go off in our heads. We stop, look at each other and say, "You better go pee now, because we aren't going to stop. There was only one urinal and one stall in the restroom. The stall is taken and I get to the urinal first. I finish and wash my hands, then exit stage left. My brother makes a production out of taking a piss. So I'm waiting for him outside, when he comes out laughing his ass off. I not sure if it is the same when a woman is hovering over the toilet, but sometimes when you are standing at the urinal, it can take a bit of time to get the flow going. Sometimes a little extra effort as well. It might not even be a bit uncommon to pass a little gas due to this extra effort. So once my brother stops laughing so he can talk, he explains. So, back in the restroom my brother is working on attaining some relief. Due to the truckstop nature of the food, he has also gotten a bit gassy. So not unexpectedly, he toots while waiting. The intensity of the report was a bit unexpected, even for my brother. I'm talking about making the cheeks shake. He remembered the the stall was occupied and started to feel a bit embarrassed. He thought about apologizing because it was so loud and aromatic. But just before he could, a loud, deep southern voice comes booming from the stall saying, "It sounds a lot better since you got it tuned up." Mike started laughing so hard, he almost forgot why he was in there. I guess it's true what they say about southern hospitality. Monkeyboy 50 donations so far. Give it a try.
