What do women want? Just answer that simple question for me, and I will be content.

Ooooh!! Hairy, Easy (French) and Like Beer(Canadian). Two out a three aint bad. I am NOT hairy (laser hair-removal), I am NOT easy, and I'm not really a fan of bear. But I'm charming and sweet Oh, and I can finish even the hardest killer sudoku!!! That's got to count for something!! Bears scare me too. The sudoku did it for me. Are ya single? Do you like Russian men? Russian skydiving men to be exact?

prolly at mikes next to the barrel of rum.....ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Ok I'll take an espresso and Kahlua. Oh wait...is it talk like a pirate Friday?

Wait...you call this a coffee thread? Where's my espersso???

I was lucky enough to have learned from Mikhail when I went to Elsinore. Being Russian, we really DID speak the same language!

I saw Phantom both times in CT, but the production has been great both times. I saw Cats on Broadway..and i CANNOT believe i forgot The Producers! One of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

Well I'm buying it as part of a package deal: main with 100 jumps, reserve (no jumps) and the container.

Why not? because of the velcro issues??

Packing data card...meaning for the reserve?

Would you trust a container made almost 20 years ago? It looks good upon an in-person inspection, the rigger I'm buying it from says it's safe. I trust him, but wanted to get some more feedback from people here who either have jumped with the aforementioned container or still own it. Thanks!

Visa...it's everywhere you want to be... Oh wait..not THAT Visa Congrats! What will you be doing in Cali?

Oh..a girl after my own heart. (assuming the 'chic' at the end of your name means you're a....chic.)

Girls Got Rhythm - AC/DC That has always been my favorite. Not quite sure why...

How can she slap? I'll take your slaps and raise you 2 more slaps.* *Disclaimer: May not be suitable for all skydivers due to use of expletives.

If you have no access to weights, try the following: http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/close-grip-push-ups.html Close-grip pushups - first try them from your knees, then switch to the normal pushup position (with legs fully extended), then elevate your legs using a bench or a chair to give the muscles a bit more workout. http://www.personalbodyprecision.com/pbp_exercises/pbp_tricep_dip2.jpg Tricep bench dips - first you can start off by resting your feet on the floor, then you can increase difficulty by elevating your feet with another bench (or chair if you're working out at home). For an even more difficult variation, try both of the above exercises while resting your feet (for the first exercise) and hands (for the second exercise) on a medicine ball. That will really force you to work those smaller stabilizer muscles that are sometimes ignored during typical workouts.

For me it's a tie between Cats and Phantom Of The Opera. Saw the latter last weekend in CT, and man oh man...still have goosebumps from the performance. Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is phenomenal. As the British would say, bloody fantastic show! What's your favorite?

Dale that is absolutely fantastic...truly inspirational. Congratulations on getting back into the air again!

AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top Van Halen - Jump (DUH! ) House of Pain - Jump Around Damn Yankees - Can you take me high enough

Why don't you strap a lure to yourself and have a falcon chase ya? I bet you could fall a bit faster then...

Congratulations! That's awesome!

That's a good idea. Need to find someone at our DZ to do that.

Your plan so far doesn't seem to include break-off and pull procedures. How ya gonna handle that? That's why I'm asking for advice. All I want is maybe 20-30 seconds of footage with us holding the banner, and then start separation procedures at 7K or so. But in terms of what to do with the banner (whether to toss it or tuck it inside the jumpsuit), safety, etc...that's why I'm asking for suggestions of more experienced folks on here.

Stitch the perimeter with binding tape for strength and add a couple grip handles at the bottom corners & you should be good 2 go. I would either try a smaller banner, or log more jumps first. I definitely plan to. Thanks for the suggestions.....what do you recommend the grip handles are made from? And where can I get said binding tape?

I want to do a jump at the end of the summer with a vinyl banner that will have the website name that I've been blogging for. I want to do is as an ad/promo for the site. Is this possible? My idea was to jump out with a friend, get stable in freefall, then take the banner out and slowly separate until it's at it's full length. The banner itself won't be more than 4-5 feet long and 1 foot tall. And of course, have a videographer take some photos and a video. Any other suggestions on how to make this work would be appreciated. Thanks fellow skydivers!

Incognito. Great movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119365/
