  1. are those really the lyrics? they're weirder than i thought. been hearing that song since it was a new release top 10, and never really listened to the words. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  2. how long is your closing loop? with an infinity, the grommets in the left and right flaps are not supposed to be superimposed, (like pretty much every other rig), the flaps are supposed to barely touch. most times when i use a packer it comes back with the loop shortened. check the manual. it really doesn't look right in that picture.

  3. red, white and black. it would match my gear! i'm just not a fan of earth tones... ymmv. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  4. i like #2 as well, though perhaps different colours? i think i just found my next tattoo. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  5. i used-ta-wuz a commodity relocation engineer, but gave it up to be home with the kids more. now i'm a unix admin for the feds. it sucks, but it pays for stuff. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  6. mine are about the same size (170 main, 175 reserve) because i figure if i need my reserve, things are already going wrong, don't need to throw a downsized canopy into the mix. bad enough it's one i haven't jumped. most of the discussion takes place around how the canopies will behave in a two out situation and there are as many opinions as there are possible combinations. i don't know what your experience level is (profiles people, profiles! at least the skydiving info), but the combination you are considering seems okay, if the main size is appropriate.

  7. i raised one of each (and two sons of my wife's), and they all had their moments. depends more on the individual temperment of the kids than their sex. the environment may also make a difference. an only daughter with several brothers (or the opposite situation) may get more attention which will change their expectations and therefore the relative difficulty in dealing with them. throw in 'middle child' or 'baby of the family' or 'the oldest' and that affects things too. i voted for the last choice. i love my kids to death, but i'm glad they're all out of the house now. i can't imagine having young kids now, and seeing the issues people my age are having with their young'uns makes me glad i did it when i was young. but that's a whole other poll!

  10. i was hoping the love dove was back. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  11. ...and the best part about owning a mac (for a tech person), whenever someone comes to you with a windows problem, you can tell them you don't know about windows any more. a couple of other points -you CAN run osx on a windows machine. pystar (i think that's it) has been selling hackintoshes for awhile and now sells a $50 piece of software that lets you install osx. -there are several options for running windows programs on a mac. i've used parallels and bootcamp. parallels lets you run windows in a window within osx. this worked fine until i needed to grab a usb port (for alti-2's nmu). another option is bootcamp. this is just a boot manager that lets you select an os on boot, windows or osx (maybe linux?) and go from there. that gives you a full windows machine with full control over the hardware. the nmu (and the irda usb adapter) work fine. -another note on multiple os's, it works on pretty much any intel based mac. i'm running bootcamp on a 3 year old macbook (windows xp) with no issues. one of the pc mags did a comparison a year or so ago and found that the fastest windows laptop was actually a macbook pro with bootcamp. -you will pay more for similar specs, but you will get more for it (software) and have less hassles with it. -sometimes, a mac isn't your best choice. -prepare for the umbrella effect. before you know it, you'll have more apple products in your house. they just work so well together it's hard not to.

  12. had an old tat covered up (fixed actually). "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  13. i'm not an american, but i see what you're on about and i'll give it a bump. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  14. yes, i've manually added jumps, but it's a pita, or at least more of a pita to do that than change the jump mode. i've recently switched to an n3, and so far i like it better. it figures out what i'm doing and logs it accordingly, and even keeps a running total of freefall time. works for me!

  15. i'd have to go look. i wasn't as concerned with the amount of freefall it logged (since i probably just put a 0 in my logbook anyway), i was more concerned with it counting the jump. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  16. i've used it for 'dump off the step' jumps, and it registers them in student mode. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  17. it will, but you have to remember to put it in student mode (short freefall). can't remember the code for it, but there are regular freefall mode, student mode (short freefall) and wingsuit (slow fall) modes.

  20. as of last easter he was. he showed up at z-hills and held court, telling stories for quite awhile. unfortunately, i missed it because my brother decided to take a trip to the hospital. by the time we got back, he was gone.
