Thats what I thought too ... the colors could go to spidey or super man... but the "face" design really did come out looking like spidey. Of course, of the 2 I would rather be super man... at least that sucker can fly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

5 weeks later and my new rig is packed and ready to go. Just sitting here with it on my back and waiting to go jump it tomorrow. Hung out with the rigger since 4:30 till 12:30 to watch it get done (he's not that slow, he did a bunch of hop and pops during that time). I just left work to check on it and never went back. I love my new boss, she lets me do that kind of thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

3-5 hours 600-1500 miles every monday and friday. I travel to a new site every week ... just depends on what part of the country I'm supposed to be in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

I can relate to this... I did my tandem and level 1 thru 3 AFF out of a king air and when I went to do my level 4 it was during a weekday and we had to take the Cesna up. I remember that the whole idea of learning to exit a new aircraft on top of the dreaded level 4 (seems like everyone was having probs with that level) made me nervous as hell . However, after I made the jump (and passed) I decided that the cesna was pretty cool after all, even if it does take forever to get to altitude

Thinking of getting the "patch pants" from tony suits. Think those would work? My new rig is due in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to joining the dark side since my current rig is only good for belly flying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

Ever consider putting one of those breathalizer's on your keyboard? Unfortunately posting to the forum's when your drunk isn't like being at a party where everyone was too drunk to remember what ya said...

That is a great site 12 more days till mine ships... it's been my last excuse for not jumping more. I can't wait till I can take mine out for a spin. Nice colors ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

Ethically? No... Realistically? Yes Have I done it? Yes... ... Everything over 2 pages I have found that relates to skydiving, including the SIM (twice... 1 single sided, the other duplex). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

I love all the aspects from exit to landing. I hope my new canopy will make my landings a more enjoyable experience ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

War evokes such conflicting emotions--horror, glory, shame, pride, and sorrow--that it is often difficult to express them in words. Here is what some have said about war. 1. There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it is all hell. You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come. I look upon war with horror. --William Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891), U.S. general. From a speech, Columbus, Ohio, August 11, 1880. 2. All counter-revolutionary wars are unjust, all revolutionary wars are just. --Mao Zedong (1893-1976), Chinese statesman. From On Protracted War (1938). 3. All wars are popular for the first thirty days. --Attributed to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. (1917- ), U.S. historian. 4. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother. --William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English playwright and poet. From King Henry V (1598?). 5. War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means. --Karl Marie von Clausewitz (1780-1831), Prussian general. Often misquoted as "War is nothing but a continuation of politics by other means." From On War (1833). 6. It has long been noted that some conquerors prefer enemies as fierce as tigers and brave as eagles, for only then can they savor the true joy of victory. --Lu Xun (1881-1936), Chinese writer. From "The True Story of Ah Q" (1918). 7. It is well that war is so terrible; else we would grow too fond of it. --Robert E. Lee (1807-1870), U.S. general. Said to another general during the battle of Fredericksburg (1862). 8. Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill each other if it is not done. --George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Irish playwright. From Major Barbara (1905). 9. Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America—not on the battlefields of Vietnam. --Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980), Canadian sociologist. In the Montreal Gazette, 1975. 10. The guerrilla fights the war of the flea, and his military enemy suffers the dog's disadvantages: too much to defend; too small, ubiquitous, and agile an enemy to come to grips with. --Robert Taber (1928- ), U.S. writer. From War of the Flea (1965). 11. A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared for, has a very good chance of being fought. --George F. Kennan (1904- ), U.S. diplomat and scholar. From The Cloud of Danger (1977). 12. War is capitalism with the gloves off. --Tom Stoppard (1937- ), British playwright and screenwriter. From Travesties (1974). 13. You no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. --Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973), U.S. legislator. 14. Do not let us speak of darker days; let us rather speak of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days--the greatest days our country has ever lived. --Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British prime minister and writer. From a speech, October 29, 1941. 15. Blood alone moves the wheels of history. --Attributed to Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Italian dictator. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

Definately looks like you you had your right toggle all the way down before the left. That was the most noticable thing, but then again, my canopy has been happily dumping my ass on the ground a lot recently. Hopefully Hooknswoops canopy class will take care of that . Keep filming and I'm sure a pattern will emerge. I hate those no wind days! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

I know what ya mean... I like to keep the house heated to tropical levels most of the time, makes the clothing optional gig doable, but damn that gas bill gets expensive . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

A bright, young, fresh-out-of-school auditor just joined the IRS, excited to begin tracking down high-powered offenders-just as the Enron or WorldCom guys. Anxious for his first high-powered audit, he was a bit dismayed when his assignment was to audit a Rabbi. Looking over the books and taxes were pretty straight forward, and the Rabbi clearly very frugal, so he thought he'd make his day interesting by having a little fun with the Rabbi. "Rabbi," he said, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles." "Yes," answered the Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked. "A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker. And every now and then, they send us a free box of candles." "Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual question actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd go on, in his obnoxious way..."Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo? "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up all the crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls." "Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?" "Yes, here too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the I.R.S." "The I.R.S.?," questioned the auditor in disbelief. "Ahh, yes," replied the Rabbi, " the I.R.S. " ...and about once a year, they send us a little prick like you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

14/14 Those were a little tricky... I don't know if my score should worry me or not ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

Didn't burn down the house but.... My cousin and I did burn down my Grandma's hay barn... that shit burns fast Same cousin and I also set the woods nearby on fire while shooting roman candles at each other... managed to get that one out before getting caught, but stomping out a fire in shorts and tennis shoes can get a little exciting, thank God I was too young to have much hair on my legs Some years later, some friends and I decided it would be cool to have roman candle fights while driving down back streets of town (seeing a pattern here?). The shots were bouncing off of the car behind us and into the ditch... we set a good 1/2 mile of ditches on fire (lots of houses nearby). Luckily the FD showed up before it got out of control. We hauled ass to his house and hid my car in his garage and I waited till 3 a.m. to leave town. That was the last of my bigger pyro adventures. Now for the really funny part... my niece burnt down the same rebuilt barn when she was 13 . Guess it runs in the family . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

I can deal with that

Former EMT (2 years) - Best damn job I ever had, just didn't pay enough Former Dispathcer (Police, Fire, & Medical) (6 years) - Another great job... which led to my current job as tech support for Computer Aided Dispatch software... pays a helluva lot better I would do either job again if the money was right or if money didn't matter. I had to quit in the middle of paramedic school to help out some family members for a while... someday I intend to go back... I have nothing but respect for the anyone in these fields, you don't get paid nearly enough for the job. Blues! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

A 3 way (or more) was something you only got to see in a porno. Farting in a small plane would be embarrassing. Laughing at people farting on a small plane would have been rude. A horny gorilla was something you went to the zoo to see. The only thing Mr Bill meant to you was in reference to a play dough character. Bigger was better. Femur was a noun. Doing things in 60 seconds or less seemed impossible. Head down only had sexual connotations. Packing had to do with luggage. Point Break was a good source of Skydiving information. Flare was something you shot into the air. Peas were something green and round in a can. Only toddlers wore jumpsuits with booties. The boxman position sounded like a mime routine. Pulling silver was something only a dentist did. 3000 feet was a long way up. Anyone have more to add? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

I had PRK done about 1 1/2 years ago... best thing I ever did ... except for skydiving. Like any surgery there are risks... but you skydive, so you are already taking risks Research any doctors you are considering... and avoid the revolving door kind of places. Find the best doctor and THEN figure out how to pay for it. Blues! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
