Mr.owc6 and I were going through our log books and found this. It makes me sad all over again.

I am now getting email notification. Thanks!

Here it is! Thank you! This confirms that I am still not receiving emails.

Can anyone send me a direct reply to see if its working yet? Thanks!

Can you reply to me and see if it's working yet?

Thanks! You guys are the best!

I am currently not getting email notifications of direct post replies. It is set to receive them in my settings. November 9 was the last notification I received. Thanks,

This is also something I have noticed for a few weeks. I wonder how many others have noticed and just haven't said anything? Thanks,

Well said, and important!

I Don't like being invisible. Can the mods see me?

Advice? Don't post in green, it gives the mods headaches. And confuses the rest of us. Oh, and good luck!

Ok, I'll jump in here, 'cause I'm an old fart. The phrase "borrowed gear, borrowed death" stems from someone using a rig they were unfamiliar with and getting on a load without a second thought as to what the EPs on that rig would be if the SHTF, rather than a sizing issue with the harness, or old(er) gear in general. The (possible) chain of events leading up to a problem are multiplied when someone is jumping a rig that they gratefully grabbed from a "friend" on the way to the plane. Obviously, buying appropriate gear is necessary, but foremostly, familiarity with the gear is the answer, not new, matchy-matchy.

When I read this thread title, given that it's Christmas time, I had a mental picture of an Elf on a Shelf dressed in a kilt swinging from the curtains.

Blue Skies, Bryan. Although, I never met you, I will remember you fondly. Chris, and the rest of the family, tender thoughts to you, all.

Sounds like an amazing project. I jumped with Carl quite a few times, but it wasn't until the late 70s, and as far as I know, very little footage was ever used. Anyway, if you haven't already posted this in the History and Trivia forum, you should. Heck, you might even draw out a few, who I know jumped a lot with him, but who no longer post much. Especially from the So. Cal. bunch.
