  1. Thanks everyone for your input - here's the new date: Sunday January 11th Times: Beginning at 9:00/10:00am (when we have our first load of 3-4) until ? $60 per slot to 5000' for the Allouette helicopter Beach jumps from Sarasota airport to Siesta or Lido beach - (which beach TBD based on winds etc.) with ground transportation back to Sarasota airport. There should be a C-182 on hand for tandems as well - another pilot is working out the details on that part. Please reply or PM so we can let everyone know what's happening before they drive all the way over to the airport! Also PM me if you need more info or hotel information - I'm checking on a nearby hotel for discounted rates. Thanks again - big blue ones!

  2. Only aircraft dropping jumpers in Z-hills are owned by the DZ - I'm not going to make TK's life difficult. That's why there's no helicopter jumps there any more. I'll work on dates for January and post them next week... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  3. You forgot the "hey..." Well, not to make my life any more difficult, but there is a possibility of jumping Sunday too - would that make a difference for anyone? Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  4. I've talked the private owner into allowing his Allouette to fly jumpers - only catch is that there has to be enough interest (paying jumpers) to make the travel worth while...he's wanting to "presale" 15-20 slots. No money up front, but we need to know we can meet his requested numbers before liftoff... $60 per slot to 5000' Beautiful view (see attachment of Siesta)...anyone be interested? Edit: Official Info This is a GO - weather is forecast to be partly cloudy and 75! Please read the attached document for more details and directions to the manifest area. Here's the newest information update: Sunday January 11th Times: Beginning at 9:00/9:30am (when we have our first load of 3) until (? - sunset) Beach jumps from Sarasota airport to Siesta or Lido beach - (which beach TBD based on winds etc.) with ground transportation back to Sarasota airport. There will be a C-182 on hand for tandems - 2 tandems are currently on the schedule. Fun jumpers are allowed to fill slots as well. B license is required (C preferred as the landing area is small) and water gear is mandatory (rentals available onsite). $60 per slot to 5000' for the Allouette helicopter $35 per slot to ~10,500' for the C-182 (fun jumpers) Can't wait! Please reply and add your name to the list including the time you plan to start jumping and number of jumps you intend to make: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name/Time/Jump(s) Helicopter/Jump(s) C-182 DZ Staff 1/ 9:00 / 1-2 (at least 1) / 2 DZ Staff 2/ 9:00 / 1-2 (at least 1) / 1 DZ Staff 3/ 9:00 / 1-2 (at least 1) / 3 DZ Staff 4/ 9:15 / 1 / 2 DZ Staff 5/ 9:15 / 1 / 2 Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.

  7. Clicky Glad you're still holding the handles - maybe you should ask for pocket for them on your next suit! Seriously - you need to stop kicking your packer. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  8. While looking for a text to speech program for one of our users, we found a really nice program (website) and wanted to test out the quality...it has an area on their website to enter text and try out the various voices too(great - that's what we are looking for!). After listening to a couple samples, it started to get a little boring...so, the text got changed to... Laughed until we cried! Caution: the results over the speakers may be NSFW Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  9. Four I should have yelled two... Watch and laugh Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  10. Maybe the first female from Orange, but my definitely not the first female bird at Orange...congratulations on the jump! BTW: Chris - are you using some filter on your camera? Mine freaks out with that green (Michelle's new suit is that green)...my camera thinks it's yellow or something!

    Cisco peeps...

    Yes - change it! Also, make sure you have setup a different standby group number for each VLAN: ! !SW.2 interface Vlan5 standby 5 ip x.x.x.1 standby 5 priority 120 standby 5 preempt ! !SW.3 interface Vlan5 standby 5 ip x.x.x.1 standby 5 priority 100 standby 5 preempt ! !SW.2 interface Vlan6 standby 6 ip x.x.x.1 standby 6 priority 120 standby 6 preempt ! !SW.3 interface Vlan6 standby 6 ip x.x.x.1 standby 6 priority 100 standby 6 preempt Good luck!

  12. Nice video, but how could you leave out that PC delay in the Stealth video?!?! Again, very nice. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  13. I've had to gather information (at management's request) to get someone fired - it's not fun especially if you personally know the person (and they're nice enough, but they pissed off their manager). The newest chipsets (Intel vPro) allow us to monitor eveything at a BIOS level and up - as long as there's power plugged in and a network connection, yes, we do know what's going on with every device on the network - it's just the way business is done these days... And if you have an employee handbook, it most likely states you are using company equipment and anything on it is the company's property - be careful putting any personal/financial information on a work PC...if you are fired, it's theirs to look at and keep.

  14. I've finished the crossword puzzle - not too tough if you read the blog... If you read the riddle above on a laptop monitor (or adjust the contrast) and tilt it, you find the letters: S K Y F E S T slightly highlighted... Skydive Carolina and Skyfest and the date 6.5.08 = ? I can't make it (still trying to get there), but I'd love to know the answer to all my unanswered questions! Who else got a T-shirt out there?

  15. Now if that doesn't make you homesick, nothing will! Too bad you're out this weekend - Michelle and I were planning another day of cloud chasing.
  16. How many of us get to even say we've been around in the sport that long and are still so actively part of the community - way cool Tony! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  17. (Groan) You did that on porpoise... This just in - hidden camera video reveals this was NO ACCIDENT!!! Watch and judge for yourself... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  18. Was either of them wearing a PFD? Rumour has it they were in a low pull contest - anyone know if it's true?!?! There's no place for showing off like this in a pool no mater how big it was! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.

  20. Rub some ammonia on the bite - it may sting a little if you've been scratching it, but it will pass in a second. Works well to stop the itching! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.

  24. Sorry to hear that - I had Sally (Paragone Rigging) move one from my FF rig into my wingsuit rig...I asked if she had any to rent before she moved it and she said she's out of rental units, but you might want to check out other lofts too - don't give up yet!
