  1. I was looking at the azimuth basically because it is the same as a bonehead for less money or so i have been told. However if you do the exchange rate it comes up to almost $740. Is this right? _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"

  4. Geez man you guys should drive truck. thats an every 1/2 hour occurence. they couldnt make enough ammo for me. Oh the humanity. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  5. These camera people have to get it through their head never to sacrifice safety for a cool shot........ unless it's a really really cool shot _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  6. Agreed 100%. My wife and I dont have money to jump but we had learned to pack to pay our way through the s/l program. Wife also sewed jumpsuits. If you want to jump there is always a way. We still dont have money to jump but as instructors and video we do just fine. Somthingelse is always welcome to come check out our dz. we arent that far away. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  7. It wasn't the Indians that got massacred _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  8. Kinda funny i was going to mention vacationing in and pronouncing Michilimackinac. for kicks I went to thier web site and lo and behold they no longer mention the massacre that happened at the fort. when I was a kid they had all kinds of little facts and presentations about it. must not be politically correct anymore. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  9. well, shit don't forget about just taping a small mirror to the back of your glove and looking for that little red light. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  10. No. Pulling a tandem ripcord will just release the rings for the drogue. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  11. Actually there is nothing negative on the company just the commercials. doesnt matter if you like the commercial or not everyone here is talking giecko. Its all about name recognition. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  12. Apparently not. Your talking about it aren't you? _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  13. Do not use realxtreme but thought I would check it out. Can't do it. no way to just take a peek at what its about. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  14. "kid" ha thats funny. the first time I met him he was our new cessna pilot and he mentioned he was going to fly f-16's I thought yeah sure kid maybe when you grow up. Hey Curt this spring come on up to fremont. It's where the cool people are jumping now _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  15. Gus I would make or buy a platform for your protec if your going to go that route. It will be a lot more stable. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  16. The protec if done correctly makes a pretty good camera helmet. I used one for years and my wife still uses one. She isn't real interested in spending 700$ for a little better platform. Mix and match liners and replace them often for a good tight fit. Use a football chincup and get it tight. cut off the chin strap and sew it to each end of the extra strap from the chincup with a half twist and you now have a cutaway system. The largest problem with the protec camera helmet (besides looking like a geek all strapped tight) is with a still on the front it feels pretty front heavy. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  17. I met Chuck Norris and Don Johnson when they were in Grand Haven MI for the offshore boat races. Norris was pretty cool but Johnson was a first class asshole. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  18. enjoyed cod2 but still prefer battlefield 1942 with the forgotten hope mod. cod is a very typical shooter. just point and shoot. bf42 +fh at least has bullet drop and you can man any weapon on the battlefield from aa guns to pak6, 88's jeeps tanks trucks planes ships _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"

    ccm

    I have the instructions on building a ccm but I am wondering how those people that have them like them. its winter and if I going to start what seems like a large project now is the time. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  21. I can't believe you dont have a tandem in the script. I can of course play the role of the grizzeled veteren tm (think of Sam Elliot, only shorter,heavier and less hair) I am sure my wife (jumpnfun2) would love to film but only if there is some jumping....errrr skydiving involved. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  22. This could open a whloe new can of worms. but if you want to get technical you could say it was the allies that started ww2 via the treaty of versailles. If not for the US keeping Japan busy in the pacific (until midway we were little more than a nuicance to japan and were losing the war in the pacific) japan would have fullfilled their obligations under the axis treaty and attacked Russia in a more substantial manner. Russia would have fallen. Nazi Germany was very close to developing an atomic weapon. The O.S.S. (Forrunner to the CIA) was very busy during the war to thwart thier attempts. (and kidnapping the german rocket scientists) The US did not have all the best equipment. The sherman tank for instance was under gunned and under armoured. they only defeated nazi tanks by attacking using 6-7 shermans and outflanking 1 nazi tank. The king tiger was virtually unstoppable. What we did have was the m1 garand, the mustang, the gmc troop truck and the c-47 (dc-3) these were the machines that won the war. The Brits with U.S. material defeated the afrika corps pretty much on thier own. The US let russia take berlin as Roosevelt agreed to Let stalin have it. The us/uk offensive stopped in order for this to happen. Churchill was furious over this agreement and didnt trust Stalin at all. Patton wanted to roll into berlin and just keep heading east. He hated the Russians. De Gaulle was a pain the allies ass. The Poles remained a fighting force the whole war. Bottom Line is that if not for Normandy and midway we would have lost the war. The Allies didnt win the war as much as the Nazi's lost it due to Hitlers blunders. We had the enigma code and the germans never changed it. we knew everything they were going to do yet had a very rough time defeating them. As far as any contreversy over the using of the atomic bomb.... Well my father was in california training for the invasion of japan. with expected 60 -70 % casulitys odds are I wouldnt exist if not for the atomic bombs. Sorry for the spelling, I am in a hurry and have to rush off to work now. so thats all I got to say about that. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  23. All this fuss over someone in the porn industry. can you imagine what would happen if someone from the mainstream films posted here. Wonder if anyone from the mainstream reads this at all hmmmmm Oh well who cares, lets jump. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
  24. Back to the real subject. If you are sick of your one porn vhs just go to the video store and rent one or two (dvd, it's 2006 for petes sake). maybe you can copy it on your computer. Thats what we do. _______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
