    ***supposedly repossesing 3 twin otters from a DZ in Oneida County Wisconsin



    HA!!

    No Otters in that neck of the woods. Not even a DZ up near Rhinelander.

    Baldwin or Superior are up that way (sort of), but Green Bay (Pulaski actually) is closer.

    Accuracy in "Reality TV" isn't at the top of the priority list.

    It was very accurate in making that Wisconsin DZ look identical to Skydive Chicago ;)

    I haven't tried to pet him yet because once or twice he really hissed like he was going to attack, so I figure he'll at some point request some cuddles if/when he wants them.



    Hope springs eternal :)

    If you are open to earbuds instead of headphones these from bose will absolutely amaze you when you turn the noise cancelling switch on. More comfortable that headphones imo.

    I also have a bluetooth Phiaton set that is nice for it's bluetooth convenience but the bose has a much, much better noise cancellation factor it you are using them for flying.

  16. Seems like this was a good public service announcement by the op for the skydiving community.

    Appears you have chosen to attack the victim for some reason? Am I missing something here?

    IMO, I hated the Sleep Number bed.



    I've spent a few nights in a Sleep Number bed in some hotel chain.... Worst nights sleep I had in decades.




    I have a sleep number bed and the best thing I did for it was put a 3" memory foam topper on it. Guess that's a pretty good endorsement for the memory foam beds over the sleep number ones!

    ******I am waiting for the engineering drawings to be completed and submitted along with the Instructions for continued airworthiness and POH supplement. The lawyers say the drawings are to be submitted end of april and the rest middle of may. The Feds say 3 months after submission the final flight test will be after that. I had to get lawyers involved now so we will see what will happen. [:/]



    I suppose if you want to drop skydivers you can't just stencil 'EXPERIMENTAL' on the side. Bummer.

    Actually, I think you can't do any commercial ops in an experimental.

    Now, if it wasn't a commercial operation and nobody was paying for the jump, may actually be legal.

    I volunteer to jump it and not pay. :)

  24. Finally expected to pass this week. I guess the Dems finally figured out that welfare recipients who reliably vote "D" will be pissed if they don't get their welfare checks. (aka snap program).

    See there it's bipartisanship finally at work ;)
