Found out what this menace looks like. . .

How in the hell can this little thing make so much damn noise?

I officially declare open hostilities against this new enemy.

Polly is TOAST!!!!!!

most of those "traits" are actually emotions a normal person would feel at least once per week or so. the rest are opinions that you hold or would like to hold to yourself. All a person has to do is Code Read and one becomes psychic. besides you aren't the actual sign listed on the horoscope anymore. the signs have shifted 30 degrees in the last 2000 years. If a person believes in this stuff, that person has been reading the wrong sign their whole life

So what 'ya saying. . . Buckshot for these Margaritaville props?

PARROTS!!!!!

Any San Diegans know what type they are? Man they are sure cute in the pet shops and in other peoples homes but when it comes to the wild they are obnoxious as hell. they have a god awful shriek like some giant ancient bird. I had one of those leak-over dreams caused by outside stimuli. I went from driving a 70 'chelle supersport to being attacked by pteradactyls!!! What the hell? I didn't even know we had parrots here!

I don't know about the navigation thing since we haven't used magnets for that purpose since forever. Matter of fact, I don't think any type of spinning mechanical gyroscopes are used anymore. I have confidence in human ingenuity to counter problems with the shift especially since the shift process appears it's going to move slower than the teutonic plates' speed. Same with migrating animals.

I have too much time on my hands as usual. . .


oops, very bad miscalculation. very very very rough estimates brings the magnetic poles' speeds to an average of 1 mile per thousand hours at their fastest. the birds are screwed.

the seven (or is it six) degress to kevin bacon (or whatever) game shows how putting two and two together to link two or more totally irrelevant issues (or movies) can create relevancy to satisfy a goal or a conspiracy. it shows you can create anything your heart desires or conditioned to desire (contitioned meaning that someone else pointed out the "match" and then you know what to look for to form your own hypothesis). This is how some people were fooled into believing the "bermuda triangle" mystery. Your theory sounds like the Kevin Bacon game come to life.

you're all pretty much lucky. . .I got my 2 years notice pending.

It was a sabre 170. Had about 600 or so jumps before i bought it. and it was pure packing error. To make less than 10 minute call plus a brief, I had to trash pack it. That was my stupidest skydiving trick so far.

I had to make a sunset tracking dive really really bad. With less than a ten minute call, I was able to pack, suit up and get briefed on the jump. Come pull time. . . I got the mugging of my life. the damage? Left end cell and second to left end cell. . .grenaded. Third end cell damaged because it's missing half the left rib. And stressed stitches in various areas of the top skin of the center cells. A repack job the day after getting repacked. and out about 800 dollars for the repack and buying a replacement canopy. lucky me I was able to find the exact size and type of my previous canopy. I looked on the bright side, I didnt drop any of my handles.

My first container was a 8 year old vector II with velcro i bought on student status. My only complaint was the velcro riser covers. If it wasn't new velcro, it would peel open in time with shifting on the way to altitude. I think you got a good deal on it. It's a good RW container . I wouldn't recommend sit flying on old velcro though. Nothing gets your attention like a bumblebee over your shoulder and you see a flapping riser. makes an odd opening at best.

Well, at least he gets the intimidating guy. . . My dropzone I get "Make way for Dark Helmet!!"

How big is your friend? I have the same helmet and not only can I see my handles, I can see my chest strap as I am loosening it up under canopy. I have a huge gourd of a head and because I wear glasses this is the only full face in production I can wear. Which sucks because I like the Oxygen A3. his head might not be long enough for that type of helmet regardless of sizing (the havoc is another helmet that adjusts it's size by the pads on the inside). If he can quickly lower his visor to the stops without pausing to adjust the lip over the chin then that might be the case.

This particular helmet is more of an annoyance than anything else. If you can find a better fitting full-face then there is no reason to have it.
