Yup, and some loads go to 18k. It usually depends on if the tandems want to spend the extra $$. Sweet hypoxia followed by an extra long freefall . The ground's a lot smaller at 18k

It's 9:58 and I'm drinking coffee as well, heading out to Titusville in about 45 minutes

What's mooth? I've seen that word a few times and even after running a search, I still have no idea what it means.

I've had lots of warnings. Having out of state lic/plates and my base sticker has helped me a few times. Ironically only time I got a ticket was visiting my home state.

Congratulations!! I'm also in Florida, and a couple jumps from my A. I'll jump with ya!!

Just caught the Scott Miller Navigator-swoop clippit, cool stuff!! Anybody like to swoop big, lightly loaded canopies, say 210+ @ sub 1:1?

I'm 6'3" and my ex-gf is 4'11". Sex on the stairs was fun!!

It's all about visibility. It's far easier to see someone walk across a parking spot I just passed while backing into it than it is to see someone coming while I'm backing out. I also enjoy pissing ppl off by backing my small, short Mazda hatchback as far as I can into the stall, particularly between 2 large pickups. Ppl come along thinking 'Oh, an open spot', then they see my car .

LOL

I used to be deathly afraid of heights. Pole climbing was the first step in addressing that fear, skydiving was really the only way for me to top it. I now have a healthy respect for heights, rather than a fear. Still I'd much rather be at 14k than 200ft.

A few times up the tower, I wondered what it'd be like to just hop off with a BASE-parachute rather than climb down . I was on a third story roof without fall protection the other day, wishing I was 14k feet with a rig on my back and outside a plane. J thought about it at the top of the pole , but decided nah, no line stretch...... LOL

I was stationed in Korea last year, part of my job was troubleshooting/repairing RF equipment aloft. I'm not sure if it was scarier being atop a 120' triangular tower atop a mountain to swap out an antenna or 30' up a power-pole replacing a 23000-volt fuse. I was one of the few certified climbers in my unit so I did both. A few times up the tower, I wondered what it'd be like to just hop off with a BASE-parachute rather than climb down . I feel your pain man, I really do .

Dude, a Xaos-78 would be perfect for you with your superior canopy skills!! Betcha only jump it once !!

Congrats dude!! I'm a little puzzled as to why you went for a B with 500+ jumps.

Must be nice bro!! As much as I love to skydive, I can't afford to jump anywhere near as much and it looks like we got started about the same time. For what it's worth, I took Scott Miller's class a few jumps post-aff. I'm jumping a Spectre-210 @ .9WL and will be making a few more jumps with Scott before I decide to downsize. I left his class with a lot of stuff to play with under canopy, and that wasn't even one of his advanced courses!!

LOL She got a can of tuna out of this. She bounces off the walls whenever I open a can, so that's her special treat.

If there's a windtunnel near you, use it. I went a few times with my instructor and his freefly team, made all the difference in the world.

Nope!!

From your farts or from your chili tying her insides into knots?

Dude, you have such a gorgeous dog!! Is that her pre or post bath? In either case, she doesn't look happy.

Giving her a bath every couple weeks keeps my allergies way down. She was pissed for a while, but now she's meowing at my feet

It was bathtime for Shadow tonight. She struggled a little when I picked her up, pulled off her collar, went to the bathroom, and closed the door (she knows the routine). I dunked her up to her neck in a bucket of warm kitty bubble bath, rinsed her off under the tub-spout, picked her up in a dryer-warm towel, and took a soapy sponge to her face. First time I gave her a bath (last month), I expected to lose some skin, but she's pretty mellow about it. Here's a picture of my little wet pussy after being dryed a little and looking forward to a tasty-treat. **Edited to add picture**

Makes sense. For a moment there, I thought maybe Tempo v Smart was a function of when it was made. Thanks bro!!

Tempo 210 = Smart 210??? Did Aerodyne buy-out PISA?

0 jumpy, 1 new rig ordered I got to the DZ yesterday afternoon as the last load was taking off .
