    Coffee?

    Agreed. We're on a coffee subscription with DD...four pounds of beans delivered to the house every other month. Works out great, and the wife and I get to have Dunkin's every morning. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  2. Keep posting! Any chance of getting a breakdown of the costs? Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  3. I listened to Dragonforce on the drive to the DZ during my AFF. It was a ritual. Now, it's Rise Against. Either one reminds me of jumping. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  4. Digging up an ancient thread here. I found the link to the Cypres xray card on the Airtec site...click on the Union Jack at the bottom: Cypres xray card Here's the direct link to the pdf file: pdf file Or print out the attached *.jpg file...

  6. Great idea, and it's already in progress: Clicky Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  7. I voted by number of jumps. My rig was manufactured in June 2005, and it's had seven repacks, and only has a little over a hundred jumps total, twenty by me. Seems like a lot of repacks for the number of jumps on it. I have no idea of what number I'd use for a limit though. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  8. Agreed. I stopped by last December while on a trip home to visit the parents. I really just wanted to meet Dave, but ended up on a coach jump. I had all of eleven jumps at the time, none out of Cessna, and the folks there went out of their way to make me feel welcome and safe. I can't wait to go back to PA and jump there again!

  9. Social Distortion. I get wrapped up in other bands (Muse, Dropkick Murphys, Dragonforce, etc.) for a while, but I always come back to Social D. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  10. Congrats on your 100th, John! Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  11. One easy way is to rename the .vob file to .mpeg or .mpg. Either one worked on my PC. Found this little tip in the Video and Photography forum. Clicky Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  12. I just watched the video again, for probably the 20th time, and am still in awe of your flying Robi! The jump in to the fog was nuts, but my favorite scene is where you can see the white suit on the right, you hop over a ridge and a yellow wingsuit flies in from the top. Incredible flying...

  13. I was in New Hampshire this year over St. Patty's weekend, and could have gone to the show on the 17th in Boston. St Patty's Day eve a wicked snowstorm hit, I was stuck in NH, and couldn't get downtown for the show. Maybe next year... Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  14. Not even hashing is safe anymore... On on! Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  15. Bought my rig at jump #16, and I did jump #31 today. My main is a Pilot210, loaded at 1.02 lbs/ft². Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  16. Four jumps. One attempted tracking dive, and three hop & pops. I tumbled out the door on the tracking dive, and never did catch up with the other two. Biffed a landing on the first H&P, and ended up with some wicked scrapes on my leg. The second one was much better, but I think I went out on the yellow light. I finally landed in the peas on the third...beer for that.
  17. Cool! I tried .mpeg and .mpg and they both work...thanks! Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  18. Thanks for the info! I dropped my rig off two Saturdays ago, and it will be ready tomorrow...which is the date I gave them (couldn't jump last week) when I gave it to them. So, I'm a happy camper. I would have liked to watch him repack the reserve, but it didn't work out this time. I was able to hang in the harness and pop the reserve before I gave it to them, so that was nice. And no, I don't want my rigger to rush anything! This will be the second repack for my rig, the first was the pre-purchase inspection/repack, and now this one. I'm still a newb, but I'm trying to get to know as many people as I can, as fast as I can. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  19. How many days should I expect a reserve inspection and repack to take? The work is being done by the riggers at the busy DZ where I jump. This is the first repack I've had to do since I bought my rig earlier this year, so I don't know what is considered a "normal" turnaround time.

  20. The DZ is about 60 miles from my house. Takes an hour or so... Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  21. OK, I'll play: Icon I6 Pilot210 Smart190 Cypres2 Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  22. I was in the pool with a rig on and a canopy over my head. Yep...same here....it was fun too ============== Ditto. The rec center we used has an indoor water slide which we claimed for our own after the training until the lifeguards yelled at us. Apparently, head down and three ways aren't allowed on the slide. Prudes... Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  23. For some reason I find myself in Longmont almost every Saturday! Weird... Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  24. I paid $2.91 for diesel in Longmont, CO on Saturday. Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
  25. Hi there, and welcome to the forums! You'll find reviews of the various DZ's by clicking on the Dropzones link above, then clicking your way through to Florida. You can also use the Search:Forums feature at the top. Either way will give you a bunch of info. Good luck with AFF! Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.
