Naa, just go to search on the match.com page and type in skyguy94. Here's two from our halloween party, notice my sobriety. I went as a f&#khead, but the f$&k on my head got accidentally wiped off.

Nope. My dz.com profile picture is my Nevada biker picture. The match.com pictures are a little more recent, fall of last year. Yea, it seems to be working, more or less... its dating for god's sake. I've gone out with a teacher (Masters), a girl working on her PhD, and tomorrows girl is an architect. Smart chicks are so hot. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

Yup! -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

So I've been toying with this internet dating thing. I have my 3rd date tomorrow afternoon. I'm skyguy94 on match.com I'm curious if I should try and find a better photo. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

My used bernina was 300 plus a bit of loving, it had some spotty surface rust on the polished parts. They do pretty much the same thing, my model does a 12mm zig zag. There's an external, snap on, cam attachment for 2 step and 3 step zig-zag. The reall plus is in brute force. I can easily sew things that a 20U stalls on. Perhaps its my hands, but I tried sewing a covered trim tab onto my risers and the dz's 20U wouldn't budge. The big minus is that parts are freaking expensive. I'm on the hunt for a surplus part machine (mostly for an extra hook). Bernina made the first zig zag machine in 1938 with the 117L. The 217 was made from 1964 to 1997. The only real difference are the machines from 1976 on up where they added the cam mechanics for custom stitches (like the 2-step and 3-step zig zag). From what I understand, some sewing machines made for sailmaking, like a class 98 Adler, are Bernina knock offs. Lengthened 217s are used to sew the carbon and fiberglass booster cones for the space shuttle for Morton Thiokol. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

My Bernina 217 kicks the crap out of 20U and 31- class machines any day. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

Incorrect, Snell (Currently M2000) is completely different from FMVSS218. Here is the current (M2000) Snell standard: http://www.smf.org/standards/m2000std.htm Here is FMVSS218: http://www.bikersrights.com/nhtsa/fmvss218.html Here is FY2003 data for random tests on DOT "self certified" helmets: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/testing/comply/fmvss218/2182.pdf Notice the performance failures. The dwell time argument came from a Snell engineer I talked to on the phone. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

OK Red (L to R): 2 or 3 step zig zag. Hard to tell, might be selectable. Normal zigzag Right side Blind Hemstitch - For hemming (obviously) Left side Blind Hemstitch White (L to R): I really can't tell what it is. That might be a freehand stitch, or a decorative top stitch. Not sure about this one either. If its the one that goes back a stitch, its a stretch stich. No clue. Button hole stitch. For stitching the edges of button holes. Look at an old coat. Hope that helps! -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

Nope, it is the point. By adding a helmet you're increasing the risk of something else, ie: a basal skull fracture. TBIs aren't always fatal or seriously debilitating, but a basal is. There's this notion that strapping a "magic bucket" to your head will save you. That's just as silly as saying that a "magic aad" will save your life. It may, it might not, it might kill you. Be aware of that and decide for your self. What kind of impacts do you think you might recieve? 1. Hitting your head on the plane? Ok, but what is the most common injury there? I don't know. What is the speed of impact and how much would foam help? 2. Taking a hard dock to the head? I think hard foam would be a hindrance here as the impact is likely to be glancing. I believe, but don't know, that a softer foam (like a protec) would work better. 3. Falling down on the ground? One of the required tests motorcycle helmets (Snell and DOT) is to test the top of it to simulate a curb strike. How well does that test correlate to skydiving accidents? Snell (Last time I read it & spoke with the folks at the Snell Memorial Foundation) excludes dwell time, where DOT mandates 200ms (If I remember correctly). From what the engineers at Snell told me, helmets that pass DOT, have a hard time passing Snell. I find that difficult to come to terms with, as they are both "safety" standards. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

This is why I love skychicks. Anyone else crushin on Sunny right now? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

For rigging you typically use a straight stitch (Fed 301), and a zig zag (Fed 304, 2 step zig zag (Fed 308)). The straight stitch should be pretty obvious, but the zig zag looks like a bunch of interconnected Ws. The commonly recommended stitch length is 8-11 stitches per inch for a straight stitch. Most of those patterns on a home machine are for fancy topstitching. If you're really curious, stop by a small sewing store. Tell them you want to see a machine that does straight stitch and zig zag and have them run off a few samples for you. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

I prefer a frap hat. The meet the kind of protection I'm looking for. Personally, I think the protection argument for skydiving helmets is silly. Head injuries, or more specifically Tramautic Brain Injuries (TBI) cannot be prevented by wearing a "magic safety hat". Your brain is slosh into the back (contre-coup) and then the front (coup) of your skull if you stop your skull fast enough. A good quality motorcycle helmet, with about 2" of high quality foam, will help reduce the likelyhood of TBI up to 11-15 mph, like your head striking an object at 11-15 mph (your mirror as you flip over the handlebars). The added weight of a motorcycle helmet increases the likelyhood of recieving a basal skull fracture, which is always fatal. A brain injury isn't. Motorcycle helmets, skydiving helmets, and the like are pretty good at preventing skid injuries, but I wouldn't trust my brain to one. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.
