  1. My dish washer SUCKS!!! So does my fridge, my stove, my heat, my... That is what I get for renting I guess. When I buy a house the first things I am going to get are appliances that kick ass. I want a dish washer that will take the flowers right of the plates!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  2. Ahhhhhh I get it!!! : 1 : My only jump was the first from a Caravan, and the first above 13.5K. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  3. ??? : jumps : ??? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  4. How does this format work? 0:1:0 I think. I got one jump in for a six way speed star... then I was to lazy to pack for the sunset load so I went home. I am such a lazy bitch lol!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  5. That combo just made me throw out in my mouth!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  6. With modern gear and an AAD I would expect to spend more in the range of 3000+. Of course you could get a killer deal, or find a rig with an AAD just about to go out of date in a year or two. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  7. Parachute and its Pilot!!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  8. What are the rules about using you own Vidiot?

    My office likes to rent out a bar every once in a while... Last time heard the next morning from my boss: "Hey Doug that was a funny phone call from you last night" Me: What phone call!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  10. I happen to like the site. It reminds me of the websites I used to build on geocities, and the MIDI file Metalica songs drive my girlfriend nuts. You wouldn't happen to have any PISA Hornets lying around the shop do you Richard? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  11. You're not the only one that feels that way!!! My first jumps were on a hornet, and I would buy one in a heart beat if some one had a new one in a back room somewhere. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  12. Your screwed!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

  14. If you can get around the liability with the school lawyers there are lots of benefits of being associated with the school. Most schools have funding boards and give money to recognized organizations. It is your money that comes out of your fee bill, and if the school is going give the roller hockey team 5k to rent a rink, you might as well get in on it too!!

  15. Even though I could construe that as a PA, I am going to take it as a complement coming from such a thrifty individual. Due to the way I was brought up my jump ticket would be the last thing on my mind if my drop zone faced a big hit like a down plane. I might have the right to ask for my money back, but I wouldn't consider it, and like I said I would refuse the money if it was offered back to me. The biggest thing on my mind would be in lending a hand in getting the plane back in the air. In fact I really don't need the "right to decide if I get my money back or not"!! I didn't think that was wisdon, infact I thought it was common sense for most people? I must be a real schmuck!!! Lets just agree to disagree, and hope the jump planes we ride to altitude stay in one piece. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  16. No one is forcing you to do anything? You can take actions, and those actions have consequences. One of those actions would be to have the integrity not to bitch about your 20 dollar lift ticket, while the DZO is busy trying to find a 50 thousand dollar engine for his broken down plane.

  17. My humble apologies... Bean Chris and Julie jheadley Jumpchikk MissG8tordiver Psycho Bob and Patty Popsjumper and right hand Katee and left hand SkymonkeyONE katiebear21 DougH and the rest UConn crew "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  18. I will be there, along with 9 fellow buddies from my university. We are just hoping that there is going to be spots left for the RV we rented. When I talked to ZHills in November they told me the spots were first come first serve. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  19. So? Did he write that you have to fly all canopies exact same way? I have and read his great book anyway. There are some things I did and I still would do on a big, 260+ sqft canopy with a spring loaded PC, but would not try with any of mine with kill-line collapsible PC. While that is all well and good, you are making the statement that with a modern canopy you can't fall into it!!! I am not trying to give you a hard time, but I think it is dangerous to tell new jumpers, including myself that it isn't possible. You can fall into your canopy, it is something that modern canopys are capable of, and it is a direct result of how you pilot them. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  20. Brian Germain directly contradicts you in his book, and really emphasizes the necessity of keeping good line tension for safe canopy piloting. If he thinks I can fall into my canopy and kill myself, I am going to take his word for it!!! I have tons of fun with my canopy up high, but I don't go around yanking the toggles mindlessly. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  21. If the sabre II is to snappy for him at 1.3 wl, why would the Pilot be any different? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

  23. It isn't all dollars and cents!! If something goes wrong with the plane, I don't demand my money back. And if the pilot gives me an extra 500 feet, the DZO doesn't rush over to me and demand an extra 2 bucks after I land. Instead I lend a hand around the place when I can help, and the DZO's have been extremely helpful to me in return. A place to crash, helping me pack to make a last minute load. This isn't just any business, does Microsoft let you stop by their office and crash on the couch? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  24. To each there own, but it brings up a thought: "you can't put lipstick on a pig". Which is why I bought a skydiving helmet, instead of spending a whole days slathering epoxy and fiberglass cloth on my skiing helmet. Have fun with that. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  25. I thought students had to wear pink protec helmets until they got their A license? They are going too easy on you. Can lines get between the part that covers your ears, and the upper part of the shell? Maybe it is just the picture, but that thing screams snag hazard to me. I know I would be running my lines all over it just to make sure!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
