  1. Here are our Rescue and one-half... Buddy is our best friend ever from the local shelter. We picked him up about a year after our Shepard mix had to be put down. We did not want to "replace" O'Neil, but are so glad we met Buddy. Buddy is "The Jester" of the house Our "half" rescue was not from a shelter, he was part of a litter from my brother-in-law. Go down to visit, came home with a cat. So, Tony2 is named after the brother... Tony 2 is "The King" of the house (well, he thinks so) After about a year and a half, they are almost friends now. Or, at least Tony2 is tolerant of Buddy edited: to try and work out the inline code - I suck at this stuff Then I check that In-Line photos don't work in Bonfire... Yep, probably a good idea.

  2. Great Job!!! Keep up the hard work... This time of year is tough, allow yourself to "relax" a little, but keep balanced with exercise... It can be fun to go on a nice walk after some Christmas snacks... The good part is that you don't really want to eat too much junk because you feel sick after.

  3. Hey DZKid - Don't forget that getting licensed at 16 had some perks.. Such as you making a skydive and landing At Your Senior Prom!!! Yep, landed, had the Tux on under his jumpsuit Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  4. It also kinda depends on where "here in California" is for you... I'm in the Central Valley, and it is 30 minutes to my DZ. If you are on the Central Coast, you may even be able to hop over to Taft. If you are south of Sanata Maria, then Lompoc is definitely the place - heck, I used to drive over there for work at the DZ.

  5. Laugh - Most posters replying to this thread are "Her Age" Hon She might like some of these old dudes Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  6. Nope - Sorry, don't remember Great Job Grasshopper!!! On to your B License (canopy) card... Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!

  8. Did that work for you? Can you believe I offered a free beer to the first person to show me how to pack and actually had people turn it down?! Maybe a bj would have been a better idea... So, was that coach jumps, 2-way, or just packing lessons you wanted... Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  9. Do tell!! Mile High Club?? Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  10. Jim, You gonna put the rest of the parts back on before the event?? Or, is the event money gona pay for the flaps Seriously, she looks great. Makes me wish I lived out there. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  11. If there are some jumpers at your DZ that have what you are thinking about, go ahead and ask to try it on. Most don't have a problem with it - but start with questions about their helmet first. They may even offer. Heck, I've even let a couple people jump mine if they were actually serious about it... However, they did seem like they showered that day Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  12. Shoe Laces Tied - Check... Let's get back to the skydive Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  13. He was not asleep - Someone [Thank You Skymama] already removed his post. You could imagine it was not appropriate. Any way - Hey NYGirl... Perris will be a great place to go. The views are not near as nice (I worked in SB for a couple years after the Paso Robles DZ closed), but there is the Wind Tunnel. Go look up the Skydiving Duck cartoons - they will be a great read for you.. There is also Elsinore near there for a little different vibe. Go have fun... Plan a trip into the wind tunnel, it can help a bunch. My son just finished his AFF these last two weekends (Started the 3rd and finished [level 8] on the 11th)... Went into the program with over an hour in the tunnel and a tandem... edited for spelling; well, misspelling. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  14. Landing your reserve 20 feet from the target will count as accuracy for your B-License Gook Job - write it down in your log and keep jumping Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  15. I thought GooniesKid was Funks... Well, IS Funks Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  16. I used to chew tobacco and the only thing that worked to help me quit was the patches. I tried the gum and it just wasn't cutting it.. I remember putting the first patch on and just feeling much better - then followed the taper off program. That was in 2001 - have not had a dip since.. Hang in there; it's worh it to try again Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  17. If they really like you, your camera guy will bring it back: http://www.carbonated.tv/viral/man-loses-shoe-while-skydiving-and-another-skydiver-catches-it-in-midair-video Just Sayin Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  18. I'm in about the same boat Rick... I bought my canopy at about 1.1 wing loading... Through the years I seem to have had a "natural" progression to a higher wing loading on the same canopy... Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  19. Is there something you haven't told us Sean?? Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  20. I love this stuff. I remember waking up my 4-year old at 3 am for one of the meteor showers and having to bundle him up warm and drive to the 4-lane north of Clovis to get above the fog.. Had to let him know early that dad is gonna drag him out to see stuff like this. Hope you and the family have a great New Years Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  21. And send care boxes when you can - Home Made Cookies were the BEST!! They can even seem to take that "what have I done to myself" feeling away for a while. At least until the next person comes yelling Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
  22. I agree with Dave on the instructor not needing to throw in the barrel roll.. However, the 2nd instructor did a GREAT JOB with Austin!!! That is a perfect demo for flying your own body to stability and you don't need to over-control the student! She was doing all the basics; swimming, kicking AND trying to go fetal in the same jump Her TI did a great job.. So, Uncle Bruce, next time you see the TI, tell him good job and thanks...

  24. It's wired for the LED to come on when the camera is on. Now, for that to be a "positive" indication; you have to set the camera up in one-button mode. So, when you turn on the camera, it is shooting video. If you have the standard buttons set, the LED will tell you the camera is on (because it is), but you still may not be recording, or you could still be in photo mode. So, the one-button mode is the way this LED confirms you are filming. This is a Go-pro 30-pin male plug (kit), the LED is wired with a resistor, the power is picked up off pin #24 and the ground is off pin #9.

  25. I have to make a couple more and see it it works OK on the stock "Telly Tubby" helmet moutn Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!
