well, on the plus side it's only prostate cancer and they caught it way early. but it's still cancer and very expensive in the us. fortunately, i have va healthcare so that helps a lot. the thing that doesn't is that the lack of work has us broke with no savings after taking over the farm when my ex passed suddenly. it also doesn't help much with the bills that are gonna start piling up quick after the surgery. i'd much rather someone hire me for some remote sys admin, noc, or soc work. anyway, i started a gofundme for help. pass it along if you're able. i appreciate it. hope you're all having a good weekend. positive vibes sent my way are also much appreciated. not all skies are blue all the time. take what you can when you can. and have regular checkups, my doc at the va found this by going the extra mile. psa was high, but not over the threshold. saved my life when he stuck that finger up my arse. hopefully; it ain't quite over yet.

it may have been the whole booklet if it was in plastic, but when zoomed in it looks a lot like it has a small slice in it like a tool, but it is really hard to tell and it doesn't matter much i guess. not the first time i made a mistake.

there's no option to delete, and i was just screwing around.

are you asking for a study source for landings? i read 'the canopy and it's pilot' by brian germain and loved it. haven't had a chance to put it to practical use yet though. good info. i heard he has other training materials but haven't used any of them.

nope. that was not paper or cardboard, unless it makes a clacking sound when it drops, and doesn't flutter or hesitate at all. video a drop of that tag and show what it looks and sounds like. that tag in the picture is most certainly cardboard based on the visible corner dogear.

i would, but it's hard to forget it when it's right there in my face, staring back at me from the screen...

damn, one tim to another, mine is trying to kill me. have to get it out next month. damn, this old age sucks.

the link worked for me just now.

i'm not annoyed at all. merely voicing an opinion on the internet on a sunday morning when i can't jump.

i wasn't worried about it at all. i just like to see what is possible and take measures to prevent bad things. like dacron lines in case of a slammer since i'm old. it may not prevent rupturing my aorta, but when i need new lines i'm gonna use them. maybe the better answer would be not jumping a raven as a main, but i love the way it opens and flies. if there was a possibility of something happening, however slight the probability is, if the outcome is potentially deadly the mitigation is worth it in my opinion. i have done some searching and have not heard of one instance of it preventing the reserve deployment so am comfortable leaving it as is. i appreciate the insight you guys have given.

thank you for that. guess it stays the same then. have a great day.

that wasn't the question. the question was will the new freebag work in my old rig. i don't like to take chances, and if $100 will prevent the possibility of reserve not deploying, that is a small price to pay for my life. same reason i got an aad after a year not having one. a new freebag is a hell of a lot cheaper than an aad. i would just ask sunpath but they didn't reply to my question when i asked about the harness sizing. i still need to get those legstraps shortened. maybe i should just find a master rigger close to me and have it measured.

what did other manufacturers use? why couldn't sunpath use those materials? i have an old javelin rig and an old raven reserve. do the new freebags work with the old rigs so i can replace mine? looks like i may not get that new rig after all, at least not for a bit.

talk about clickbait. why would anyone say they aren't notam's any longer when clearly they are still a notam? who the hell cares about an agency trying to help all people feel accepted as they are and welcome? everyone bitching and raising hell about this "pc bullshit" can kiss my arse. that is the kind of insensitive shit that i used to spout, back when i was one choice away from becoming a member of an "elite" unit. they call it toxic masculinity for a reason. i like the change since it basically changes nothing but the long name and is more inclusive. now if they can just get those racist names off of the trails in wv, but that is a whole other subject.

the easiest thing to do would be to put it all back up for a week read only and let someone scrape it with httrack. then put the content back up as read only. if someone had a login to the site and used that when scraping, it would grab everything and keep it in order. i almost had a copy but stopped when dmcoco84 figured out the settings for htrack so as not to pull down the bandwidth. i tried making sense of the zip file that platypii uploaded but it looked like it was from wget and not a true reproduction of the website and extremely hard to use and search. that would be simplest for the archiving, but may not be simple for hosting. you wouldn't have to get the domain up if you made it a subdomain like basejumper.dropzone.com for the duration. hell, for that matter, you could make it a subdomain and keep it there as the archive with the same cgi script and format. that may be the easiest way to keep it up for archive purposes with no need for anyone to run anything on it.

most of the time, yes. sometimes it doesn't but it's not good to bet on it. last year was the record, or was it the year before? they all run together for some strange reason.

robert newlon field is my home dz. you have to do a tandem there first if you want to become a student. i wouldn't recommend it in the winter, and i don't think we are doing any fjc's until at least after safety day, which we often put off until april due to flooding, pic attached. we do iad training, not aff. very tight landing area, river on one side and a campground and railroad tracks on the other. come on down and join us.

how aged do you want it? i know a guy that deals in "antique" firearms from the mid-'90s...the mid 1990s, that are well over 100 or so years old. interesting things you can do with the right chemicals on steel.

not only are you over thinking it, maybe you're misunderstanding the science behind the 6 foot rule with masks. covid spreads through the air, not contact (at least not very well). if you are close to someone without a mask, the virus can easily spread up to 25 feet through a cough or sneeze and up to 15 feet from breathing. the masks stop this from happening and keep the virus from going more than a few feet. when everyone wears one, the virus doesn't get transmitted nearly as far, so six feet is the recommended distance. in the air, everyone is falling at around 120 mph or so, and the virus is just mainly swept away. of course there could be a few of them that get through, but since it isn't transmitted very well through contact it doesn't really matter that much. since i am not a virologist or medical professional, i defer to them for this type of advice. i'm not sure if i qualify as part of any brain trust you want to rely on for anything serious, but i haven't had covid yet, so i must be doing something right. also, get the vaccine and booster. it may or may not stop the spread of covid (it doesn't on the new strains they say but did on the others) but it greatly reduces your chances of dying from it.

i think the gestapo were more concerned about the dates on the harnesses. commercial harnesses have a date tag that you put the date on when they are first used, then after five years, they get thrown away. i have two that i have had for almost 20 now that are as strong as the days i used them on the job, one is a miller that is just the harness and is really light, the other is also a miller but has a back support belt built in and i hung my tool bags off of that one when i was a scaffold builder. i have never seen a miller harness fall apart, or not make it to end of life. i have seen a couple of saves with them, one was almost 500 feet up. i still use mine sometimes if i have to work on trees or something.

i looked at the data you zipped, can't make a bit of sense out of it. i looked at the httrack copy that was almost done, looks like the website looked before it went away. you can even browse it like you were there. you didn't spend enough time tweaking the preferences. it doesn't take any snapshots of anything, it preserves what was there as it was. you may lose something that was posted after you started it, but it would have minuscule compared to having a zip file like the one you posted. thanx for saving all the info, but it would be nice to make it usable. now i have another project, unless you wrote something to search it with...i wish i would have kept what i had so you could see just how good the copy would have been. i didn't get it all and deleted what i had.

that's what i thought initially, but if set up right it gets everything perfectly, an exact mirror, if you turn off the links. i thought there was a setting to ignore external or internal links, but it gets complicated if you don't work with it every day. i have a friend who swears by wget, but it wasn't working right for me at first so i went with httrack unitl i stopped to save bandwidth for the other attempt. i just hate information going away. i haven't had a chance to look at this yet, thanx for putting it out there.

and it matters how she is importing them. if she is on the windows computer it works on everything i have tried, but if she is on the phone trying to import to the computer, it matters very much what the device is and how it tries to import. if the pics are stored on the cloud, like google drive, all bets are off as to how to do it. edit: that still sounds clunky. when i mean going from computer to phone, i mean she is on the computer using that to pull the pics in. what i mean from phone to computer is being on the phone and pushing them to the computer. both involve being hooked up via usb cable. that was more complicated than i thought it was.

i think that is only if you go from phone to computer. opening the phone in a folder on the computer (going from computer to phone) gets the file structure in tact. windows sees the pictures differently than android, but iphones will not let you do this at all. now i have to go see if you are actually correct and i am mistaken due to limited android/phone versions used.

my first question would be is this a landline or cell phone? pots lines make 24vdc or thereabouts when they ring, should be fairly easy to step down with something like a small resistor but it's been a while and i'd have to look it up. if it's a cell, then i have no idea at all.
