  1. And diddo to you!! ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  2. Hey chris, check your pm's and thanks. ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  3. Follow or lead? ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  4. Yeah from the WHOPPING 3 videos i've found, I can't tell if the camera-man is completely hanging or has like a toe on the edge of the step. I saw the one (where the guy's 2 uppers are disconnected) where the TM/TS go directly out of the door as opposed to getting on the step. I just thought that the other one I saw gets a lot of the rears of the TM/TS and figured a quick diving exit following them out might get a good facial/frontal shot. I know video is all about the good shot (after safety), so I was just wondering on the shot vs. safety issues really. What about the batman hang (is what I heard it called) where you hang by your feet on the strut and leave w/ the student. ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  5. I'm getting into camera flying soon, but not now. I already have an illusion(BH composites), only b/c it was a wonderful deal, and I want to get comfy jumping it w/o camera first, taking one step at a time. My deal is this. i've noticed like cookie's cut-a-way it is on the chin and has a ringed release system as opposed to the spring loaded cotter pin of BH's cut-a-way. I know the reason why the illusion has the jawbone is b/c camera's can get heavy, and it's just a tighter, more stable fit when you move your head w/ extra weight. What I was wondering is if anyone can come up w/, has seen, or already has an illusion w/ a dual side cut-a-way system. So far, what I've brainstormed is leaving the one side (the side w/ the strap on it) like it is, but the other side, running the teflon coated cable through the hinge (almost like BH's D-boxes), and then have a cable on the chin cup/jaw bone that when pulled releases the jaw-bone completely instead of on the one side. I guess next question: Has anyone had to cut away the Illusion, and is so, how did it act? Did the jawbone bind when coming off to the side towards the hinge, and when you cut-a-away, was it due to entanglement or what? I know it's long winded, and I have done a search...but came up w/ nothing. ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  6. If I (or anyone else for that matter) were shooting Video out of a Cesna 182 jump plane, how would that go. Would the camera man follow the tandem or do a strut hang/bat hang? I'm in no way considering it right now (experience needed), but at my alt. dropzone we jump a 182 (aside from ride time, my favorite exit plane) and I was just wondering how you'd do video out of it for tandem and/or AFF. Thanks you guys in advance. ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

    Holy Smoke!

    How has it affected the jumping in FL. Are loads still going up, and if so, can you see surrounding fires while up there? ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  9. Didn't ya'll have some pornstars do tandems at your dropzone sometime back? ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  10. Seems like I'm going to hell, b/c for some reason heaven's too high for me, and if I can't get my pilot to take me to full altitude, how the hell can I even get to heaven??? ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  11. Not attempting to thread jack, but Damn I miss Dermabond. My hospital switched to Indermil and it down right sux. The package sux, the smell sux, the residue left over is 10x worse...and they don't have cool lil' "indermil pens". Plus, indermil has a short life out of refrigeration. Yeah, you could def. squeeze that together and at the least put super glue on it, IF it wasn't somewhere that moved and stretched a lot. A lot of the surgeons I work w/ say that if you get a cut or wound of any kind (not a scab), you could def. use superglue if it wasn't in a place as described above. Also, make absolutely sure you don't get it IN the cut, b/c the skin will heal around the "drop" so to say and get infected treating it as foreign matter...b/c it is. Sweet scar though dude, looks like a zipper that you should send back to the manufacturer!!! ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

  15. YES, FIRST TO POST DEE ZEE DOT COM after the weekend. Yes. So, wonderful cinco de mayo celebration, thanks to all of the CSS'ers...minus a few "non-invitees" and a few who just couldn't make it. I had a blast, specially w/ dizzy shots and Biro's entertaining hula-hooping. Finally the Beav was part of the Tent Village, and Coleman made another less than impressive appearance to boot. Had a blast you guys, left a bunch out I know, but hey, leaving a lil' for Eric to fill in as usual... Whitney, I PROMISE we'll land off, and be land off buddies next time...and whenever other time I see you land off I'll meet you there, lol. Not quite, but only if ya need the assistance of the Huckleberry Beav!! ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
  16. Well that sux. Hope all goes well up north!!! Well, even if it rains, Coleman's coming out this weekend. He misses Hank and Lyman (believe it or not)!! ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

    Salvia

    Haha, dude, did you here they are putting something in cow food to reduce the amount of wild "schrooms" that you obtain through the old method. Not big into schrooms, so I really don't know the rest about that. I enjoy salvia, only b/c it's legal and quite frankly, I get more'n a 10 minute stupidity high... ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

    Salvia

    One of the biggest reason why a lot of people say it's worthless is b/c they didn't "smoke it right". Yes there is a right way to do it. The active ingredient in the sage relative is only released by a very intense/hot flame. One of those small butane torch lighters w/ the blue flame is perfect. That's why more times than none, it should be smoked out of a water bong to cool the smoke down before inhalation. Another thing is the difference in smoking leaves and extract. Extract is a mixture of the leaves and the resin, the pure salvia. You can get all the way up to 20x, which is 20 times more powerful than the regular leaves. I stick to the 5x-8x range, b/c that's all i need. 9x is my limit to where i START to hallucinate. Hope this helped/helps. ...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
