  1. Miss you already. I'm proud to call you "friend".
  2. What a sad day. I'm really going to miss you, muppet.
  3. You lost a word there from the prior citation. He said solely. And even your revision is incorrect. The 22s used for competitive shooting are not at all designed with the goal of killing people. My .22 has primary value as a full weight practice pistol. I could care less what it was designed for, personally. It's amazing that people assume the right to limit guns using the "saving lives" premise. In the meantime, denying others the right to own and use them as they see fit, harming nobody. The crimes committed with guns are already crimes. In most cases, they can be committed with knives, hammers, or or other household implements. You want to save lives? Ban automobiles. Those suckers kill a lot of people. They're also the favorite tool of drunk drivers. If you banned cars, we'd have far fewer drunk drivers.
  4. Oh that pisses me off. Sometimes I feel like that I'm literally the only married man in the modern world that still loves his wife with all his heart. No, there's at least 2 of us.
  5. Not that it helps much, but someone in the tent came back with an altimeter they said didn't belong to them but packed on accident and was looking for theirs. Have you called manifest? Maybe they turned it in.
  6. 11 days. The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.
  7. It all boils down to preference. I much prefer the AltiTrack. I prefer the analog style face, like the jump replay, etc. For me, the decision isn't even a close one. Others will tell you differently. They're both popular.
  8. They had Movie Factory there, but it was number 9.
  9. I've been using Windows Movie Maker for my videos, since I'm not a pro, just a hobbyist. I just got my Sony CX100 and realize I'll have to move on to something that supports AVCHD. I was going to order Vegas, but started looking around. Top 10 Reviews rates it 6th, with Cyberlink, Corel, Adobe, Magix Movie, and Pinnacle coming in above it. Has anyone used these, or is Vegas simply the best option for a PC user?
  10. Got mine today. Unfortunately, won't get to jump it until New Year's.
  11. It seems like you can mount the camera cage to it. I shot them an email to get more details.
  12. Does anyone have a full face camera helmet with face shield? Any pictures? I'm thinking of upgrading from my GoPro, but like jumping a full face. I've seen quite a few full face camera helmet, but no pictures of them with shields. Is there such a beast?
  13. Your comprehension of the issue at hand would be greatly improved if you actually read the whole article and thought carefully about the content. . One does not increase one's comprehension by reading liberal propaganda. Cause nobody comprehends as good as a lefty right?? Keep your nose in the air shit to yourself. Thinking people do not listen to it anymore anyway Perhaps that's why support for the left and their policies has eroded so severely in the past few months.

  15. This has interesting possibilities. How quickly does it update location?
  16. I took Tommy's course at JT. Good course, great guy.
  17. ?? Most rigs out there that were built for a 190 will hold a 150 just fine. Not every jumper is going to want to downsize rapidly. Some people choose to actually learn to fly a canopy at 1.0-ish before going smaller. This process, when done with an eye toward safety and not with an "I'm that fucking good" attitude, will take at least a couple hundred jumps. If a newbie can't get 500 jumps out of their first rig, they are either downsizing way too fast or they bought a real P.O.S... DAMN!! A voice of reason once again!! I bought a used canopy and a new container. I love having fit and comfort of something custom made to me. I've put 150 jumps on my gear this season, with no plans to downsize in the near future.
  18. What ever I decide to carry that day typically becomes my HD handgun that night. Usually it's a Sig P220, Glock G30, or SW 1911, but it depends on what I'm wearing or feel like carrying. I have a few others I rotate in from time to time, but those are my 3 primaries. I never carry 9mm anymore.
  19. It's your rig. Your new one should be fine if you did the measurements correctly.
  20. Boy you complain a lot. When I saw your jitters, I figured you'd be done for the day. Good on you for hopping right back in the saddle. You were a pro. I was impressed.

    Jumptown

    What a great group of jumpers. Their instructors are top notch, they have the best rigger around on staff, dive organizers almost every day that love to take you into their group, clean camping with showers, indoor packing on a padded mat, the Spank'n Otter Grill, the list goes on and on. I showed up to try skydiving, and never left.
  22. I was happy with the gear I bought through Art @ Skydive Store.
  23. Roger! I'll hold off for the altimeter then. But how about the eye protection? Recommendations? If I were you, I'd hold off on buying anything yet. That being said, I've found those goggles you linked to are great with contacts. I bought mine on ebay, though. I got 3 pair (tinted, amber, and clear) for 15 bucks.
