Tee, A big congradulations, and your more than welcome to borrow my Sabre 170 anytime. Blue Skies, Lippy

And exactly what were you smoking before you had this dream?

Does anybody know of a good gear store where I can buy a used container? If so, please post it. The season starts in a couple weeks and I'm needin something bad, but none of the stores I called so far have what I'm looking for, and classifieds aren't looking any better. Blue Skies, Lippy

I had a student line of credit, and the line went straight to the manifest. Now I'm poor. But hey it's too cold to jump now, I'll think of somthing come March. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

I gave up drugs, and subsequently all of my pot-smokin friends in school. I skipped my college graduation to spend the day at the DZ...It was a really, really nice day. Now I'm out of school, making decent money, and I still live on Kraft dinner and hot dogs and walk to work in freezing weather cause I'd rather buy a rig than a car right now. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Live to Jump, Pull to live, Lippy

I have the smaller reserve b/c I got the two canopies together, and that's what the seller had. If I had of thought of it more, and not just bought the first decent canopies for a decent price, I would have gotten two canopies that were closer together size-wise. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely confident in my ability to safely land a 143 in the event of a mal, but this container thing would be less of a head-ache. Obviously a J3 would be best considering the size of my main. I am just wondering if there would be any negative effects in having the reserve area sized for a reserve 17sq, ft larger than the reserve I have. Again, any info appreciated.

Okay, I have a wee bit of a problem. I am piecing together my first rig, and I want a Javelin in there, but I don't know what size to go with. My main is a Sabre 170, and a PD 143R. There's gonna be a Cypress in there too. So do I get a J2 or a J3. I'd just ask my rigger, but he's on vacation, and the people at Sunpath havn't gotten back to me yet. I wanna order my container this week, so somebody who jumps these canopies with a Javelin, or would be able to give me an informed answer, please do. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

It's not enough to stop them from posting, let's take away their jump planes untill it's warm enough for all of us to jump, it'll be the only way to make it fair. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Okay, so it wasn't the best movie ever, but when you live in Alberta, and havn't done a F&$kin jump in 3 months, its better than nothing. I must have seen it 4 times since October, and will probably watch it a few more before March. I can't even watch my videos from my DZ cuz I don't have a VCR, so suddenly Cutaway just ain't that bad. Anybody seen Eraser lately? In this one scene, Arnie uses a chair to take out a jet engine, then chases a parachute out the door, goes head down to catch it, puts it on in freefall, pulls his cutaway handle to deploy his main, (a round with toggles) and then starts shooting the windshield of the plane he just left, which somehow caught up to him while he was head-down. Now that's cheesy Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Howdy all. I was soooo very excited about my first parachute which I bought two days ago. I had originally gone over it with a rigger, and was pleased with the condition of the main. Then yesterday, as I was playing with my new toy at a friends place, I noticed a tear. In the right hand end cell's crossover port there's a split in the fabric, about 2 inches long. The canopy is a Sabre 170. Is this a big problem? There's a master rigger at my DZ, will he be able to fix this? Please give me some input, I don't know what to do. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

I had one kindof like that last night. I was in our C-182, just along for the ride for some reason, and I realized I had a rig on so decided to jump. No alti, nothin but shorts and a t-shirt and a rig. I eye-balled 3 grand, dumped and had time to make one turn and land. Then the DZO came over and gave me shit for dumpin so low. It was very weird, but I guess that's what happens when its been too cold to jump for the past month and a half. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Thanks guys, I don't mind advertising for somebody who sells good gear for cheap, as long as it is good gear. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Hey y'all, I'm wondering about buying gear here. I just confirmed my picking up a Sabre with a PD reserve, and now I'm looking at a container and a Cypress. Earlier today I was in contact with Ralph at Western Parachute Sales, and I hear he has some really good deals. I'm wondering if anybody here has dealt with him before, and is his gear usually so cheap for a particular reason. If anybody can give me any info on his operation I'd really appreciate it.

I had a pretty similar dream, but I just tracked like a mother-f*#ker, and ended up skimming lightly across the ground. It was spooky as hell. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

Stop yer whinin!! Last weekend as I checked the thermometer on jump run, it was -18*C at altitude. (I think that's about 0*F for you Yankees) It was then I realized I should really invest in a full face. Come to Alberta, and find the true meaning of COLD. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

That's one way to get Rhonda to come back for a party. What happened to Taff gettin the Rose and Crown for us?

Damn, man, that's nasty. I laughed so hard at that one I almost fell outta my chair Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

I got impaled by the flag, that kinda sucked. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

Come on Tee, I've known you long enough to know that you are neither sweet nor innocent Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy P.S. you goin to the Ranch this weekend?

I once saw a video of a guy who was pissed off cause his buddies got cleared for a 3-second delay and he was still on static. On a hanging exit from a C-206, he let go of the strut and went for his handles. It was pretty funny shit to see the instructor hauling in the SL bag with main still inside, and then the guy tells the JM that he had a mal. The dumb bastard could've gotten away with it if he'd waited another 3 seconds. The guy got to do his 'freefall', and he got sent the fuck home. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

What were the seven dirty words again? crash, die, burn-in, grounded, mal, dual-mal and funnel. Something like that, wasn't it? Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy
