I'm a hard honker so its paper towels for me.... If I use a tissue it looks like Scotties little softie blew a load on me

I bought a 28 ft trailer for the DZ to help keep my G/F happy...DZ is a hour from our house...we take seperate cars so she can leave early on Sundays.. She has run a canteen/bbq to raise $$..but that got old fast...she takes pic's /video...but that too grows old fast... I have offered her $10 a pack to learn how...but that got laughed at... The deal is...I will be at the DZ when off work and the weather is good(and not good)...she can come if she likes. No.....errrr...minimal bitching allowed

If Skyride gives approval you can paint me green and call me Kermit

Who's that with the bailout rig on?? Mrs. Squeak?

Now thats getting head

I think this is a bonfire thread....or maybe a thread that should be posted in errors and bugs.....

As others have said......do the job right....and I will add or dont do it at all http://www.pivotworks.com/

Thanks for the extra space

I does not matter if the A/C is on or off when starting a modern automobile. it will have no adverse effects on any systems unless there is already a problem developing that could be affected by the additional load on the engine and electrical system... Most modern automobiles equiped with A/C will run the A/C when the front defrost or floor/defrost modes are selected....this serves 2 functions...it keeps the A/C compressor and possible "H" valves moving and A/C also acts as a dehumidifier...dry air clears windows much better then air with a high humidity.

Dagnabit......I had just subscribed or thought I did..my Visa wasn't billed

Proper Canadian etiquette would be to bring the HR guy a case of beer and a bottle of moose meat.

You only need a HDMI cable for video and audio...and you also dont need to buy a expensive cable either...the cheap cables test the same as the expensive ones And...if using component video and you have extra "standard" cables around...no need to buy expensive component video cables...just match up the ports and use the ones you have... I am not a expert and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Most shops charge .3 to .5 for a basic will not turn over diagnoses. I don't have a labour manual in front of me but to re and re a starter on a 01 trailblazer should be about .8 to 1.0

Well the year is almost past and the time seems fit for a thread of this nature. I would love to read about others goals and accomplishments in 2008. Here is my story. My 08 year started late in 07 as I prepared for and took a CSPA Coach 1 and Jump Master courses... The courses had a profound effect on me and all my goals for 08 centered around completing the requirements to become certified and to learn learn learn... The requirments may not seem like alot to some from big turbine DZ's but to me they seemed just within reach...50 jumps minimum,25 coaching contacts,25 students dispatched via IAD method,25 students radio'ed down under direct supervision for the Ground Control Instructor rating that is a mentorship previously taught on the JM course... Myself and a good friend had done the courses together and frequently talked about the upcoming season.....a nice day in January lead to my 1st supervised student dispatch...I was packed and my friend was not. It went well and my heart continued to race for days. As fate would have it I noticed a lump on my neck in January...it was still there and larger in early Feb....after being kicked in the ass by my G/F and friends I started the process of seeing doctors and testing to diagnose it....the mention and fear of cancer threw my skydiving goals for 08 way up in the air so to speak Well by April, I had been through more blood work,x-rays,CT scans,barillium scans and a very nasty surgery to remove my tonsiles,clean out nasty absess(developed 2 days before surgery),scope my larinxe(spel) and remove a cue ball sized lymphnode...to be diagnosed with classic hodgkins lymphoma ....needless to say I thought my summer of skydiving if not my life was going to shit real fast. Late April the DZ got going and by late May the weather was coming around enough to say that the season had started...I was on a mission to jump as much as possible before having to start chemo in June...I got about 15 jumps in and completed my supervised IAD dispatches...the weather and working every second Sat hampered my new goals... In June I started my sessions of ABVD chemo.....every 2 weeks I went in for treatment,and for a week of those 2 weeks I had to get a daily shot of a drug for my bone marrow to make more white cells..I actually responded not to bad to the chemo and was able to work most scheduled days and also continued jumping and learning to instruct at the DZ when I felt OK... Aug comes and still trudging along ...the learning curve for instructing even at this level is fierce....my hair is pretty damn thin and I have no eyebrows by now...but how I love this sport and working with students makes it all the better. A PET scan late Aug shows I am in remission!!!!...but still have to keep on the chemo and radation therapy for a month is scheduled daily in Oct. The weather was not great at all this year so we jumped when we could....my DZO actually did more weekday tandems then weekend this year... My last jumps were on fairly frosty days of Nov.30th Dec.6th and 14th....only me the DZO,Kenny a senior instructor and few die hard students at the DZ. end results......77 jumps.....I logged 25 coaching contacts but did many many more.....observed more then 25 students being radio'ed in by senior instructors...radio'ed in over 40 myself...dispatched 106 students via IAD... I had a very good skydiving year as I surpassed my goals and learned more than I could have ever imagined(the learning has only begun!!) And I beat cancer... I hope everyone had a great year and shares there experiances with the rest of us.

funny....I just filled my travel flask with the very same beverage...

I started off with a very good record on student mains... once I moved to my own smaller ZP main, my record of good landings came into question.. now that I am loading my canopy a little more and pushing the speed a little more....it becomes even more questionable... I am now learning why it is important to know how and when to bail out of a "perfect" landing attempt.

Was that you Tuna??

You must be Simple... the search function is your friend... a few threads on this subject already exist.. If you were that curious you would have taken a look at existing threads.. seems to me that you want attention.

I perfer a very thin pillow.... or a set of boobies

The Priest's poodle......thats just a setup for a very off colour joke if you ask me..... And as for the villagers.....well do what they ask for a time and then slowly go back to normal...If they show up with torches and pitchforks..then offer up frankenstien to them and head for the castle....

Excellent
