    The water just delays the husk burning, Adding the flavor enhancers in the husk is a great idea. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  7. Info I got from my brother who does a lot of work with Jukis. Its been a while, but Mid-South Sewing Machine Sales Inc. in Tucker, Georgia sold the 'Eliminator' EL 1850 Juki servo retrofit which got rid of the clutch. They might still offer these.

    The BBQ thread

    Leave the husk on the corn. Open the end and remove the corn silk, then reclose the end. Soak the corn in water for 5 minutes. Shake corn to remove excess water. Throw on the grill. The corn first steams, then as the husk final starts to burn, it gives the corn a nice char. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  10. Since only 75% of the jumpers in a 100 way need to be in their slot for the jump to be "successful", I say have 75 jumpers nail it, then say it was a 100 way and the 25 missing jumpers just weren't in their slot. 50 donations so far.

  12. Here are some of his famous Yogi-isms. 1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. 2. You can observe a lot by just watching. 3. It ain’t over till it’s over. 4. It’s like déjà vu all over again. 5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded. 6. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical. 7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. 8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours. 9. We made too many wrong mistakes. 10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. 11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. 12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you. 13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four. 14. Never answer an anonymous letter. 15. Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting. 16. How can you think and hit at the same time? 17. The future ain’t what it used to be. 18. I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better. 19. It gets late early out here. 20. If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them. 21. We have deep depth. 22. Pair up in threes. 23. Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel. 24. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there. 25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies. 26. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. 27. Bill Dickey is learning me his experience. 28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious. 29. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much. 30. I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five. 31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads. 32. I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary. 33. I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. 34. In baseball, you don’t know nothing. 35. I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? 36. I never said most of the things I said. 37. It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility. 38. If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer. 39. I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I’d never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest-high catch, and he never walked off the field. 40. So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face. 41. Take it with a grin of salt. 42. (On the 1973 Mets) We were overwhelming underdogs. 43. The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase. 44. Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. 45. Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training. 46. You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go. 47. I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine. 48. If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work. 49. If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be. 50. A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  14. .............................................................................. Yes, As long as it has a larger engine (XP, Rheims Rocket or a variety of STCs) it will climb fast enough to work as a jump plane. At the DZ, it is referred to as the Super 172. 50 donations so far.

  17. Looks like the game almost had to be cancelled according to USA Today as the parachuter almost took out the entire team. If that is the case, I'm sure a bunch of teams could use him on defense. edit-- This report says it was planned. Not used to seeing landing sideline to sideline. And it is Frog-X demo team. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  18. Having seen a bunch of the rigs that come back from BM, I would not suggest anyone jump their nice pretty rig there. If one has the option, I'd say use only gutter gear. Or borrow your buddies rig. My rigger showed me some of the stuff he has had to wash/repack and the playa dust was everywhere, into every nook and cranny. Consider if you were looking to buy gear, wouldn't you want the stuff "only landed on grass and packed inside" versus landing in a "huge pile of super fine dust and packed in that same huge pile of dust"? Hmmm, how "crispy" would your new canopy be after BM? Bet it will pack more easily. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  19. Walt, I somewhat copied the Liberty Parachute Team belly streamer setup that I used once. The streamer is about my feet level with a weight. I've jumped that same streamer. Nice system. The lanyard is long enough so you control it with you leg/foot like any other flag. I cork screwed it hard and had no problem what so ever with it trying to wrap around me. edit, I see Walt beat me to it. I think the velcro cover of the pins on Liberty's bag worked fine keeping it shut. I am also woking on a leg mount for my long streamer that will also use the horse collar. For ease and speed if deployment, will be using the yellow lolon cable. And I know Gary would add the flap under the zipper. At work, it is my job to "remind" people to do things. To the point they call me Captian Obvious. Hard habit to break. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  20. That is one reason I don't like zippers on demo bags. Add a flap under the zipper so when it is zipped, the streamer does not come in contact with the teeth of the zipper. I have a streamer that is 210'x14" that is held in a belly bag. The bag is closed by fastex clips. The streamer has a small "horse collar" that I slip over my foot/ ankle and then deploy the streamer. I don't even feel it when I fly. The best part is if it ever gets entangled, the horse collar will just pull off my foot. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  21. Couple of questions. Why do you not want to tape strobe to your helmet? On all of my night jumps, I gaffer taped the strobe to the top of my helmet so it could be seen for close to 360 degrees and would not have any effect on my night vision. Depending on canopy color, the strobe flash can light up you canopy so others can see you better. I have seen some people hang the strobe from a short lanyard below their shoe. After deploying, remove strobe from your pocket, turn on the strobe and drop it. Where does your DZO want the chem sticks mounted? Chem sticks have limited impact on night vision as long as you don't stare at them close up. One method for mounting can be everyone mounts the same color on the chest strap horizontally and the second on the back of the helmet vertically. This will tell you if the jumper you see is facing towards you or away when under canopy. You need to have the chem stick broken and installed while riding to altitude. Cover the sticks with a piece of tape to block the light, and then remove the tape just before exiting the plane. If you have a Dollar Store near you, you can often get the chem sticks for $1 each. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  22. I took the Flight-1 101 and 102 course with JayMo. I had just under 2000 jumps and we had other students with under 25. I thought it would just be a refresher for me. We all learned a hell of a lot. Can not say enough good stuff about what and how they teach. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
