thanks. thats the operation i was looking for. i currently fly in the desert, east of Los Angeles. we deal with the winds up here too, usually take off at dawn, and am done by 9 or 10 due to winds and thermals. for me, its all about smooth air...winds just make it like driving down a bumpy road...ok, but no fun. oh crap. you are never gonna believe this. so i decided not to fly this m morning, doing some work instead, and my flying buddies just buzzed my house to rub it in...f-ckers! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

hijack. so some questions on hawaii. have you seen any trikes(weight shift, uses a hang glider wing, looks like an ultralight, but now many are N numbered) flying at that airport? I am a a trike pilot, and want to plan a trip there. and, how would you rate jumping there? diffilculty? I am a D license, 300 + jumps or so, ( so still new ) at many different DZs and wind conditions. my wife holds a B same number of jumps. we are thinking of planning a jump, trike, scuba trip. yes, that order. thanks ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

and, unplug everything in your side of the house, i mean everything. then go see if your meter is still spinning. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

turn off the main breaker, and see if your neighbor looses any power? it would be nice to ask your neighbor first, the structure could be wired incorrectly. if they do, then track in down breaker by breaker. * *if only to be perform by electrician for safety. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

A few years ago when we still traveled for work, I would jump at DZs all over. I kept having people walk up to me and say, "Dude, sweet add in parachutist." I was like, "Don't know what your talking about." Then I got home and looked through all my mail and parachutist issues...and found this.... yep, it was me. taken down in DeLand, unbeknown to me. A friend of mine (Giles) was able to to get me a poster from PD. The fact that it was a matrix theme was so cool, one of my favorite movies. And, I jump a spectre. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I am a pool serviceman. Rinse it well. I would not use any other chemicals, simply compounds the problem. And, next time, buy granulated chlorine, its all I use for service, to avoid exactly what happened to you. You can get granulated acid too. dont ever ever ever mix acid and chlorine...it makes mustard gas. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i'll continue your rant. it seems today that taking a picture or video with a phone somehow supersedes simply seeing, taking it in, reflecting, then telling someone of your experience. i feel people have become shallow, reliant on tech., and not even close to being in the moment and enjoying life as it passes. the last time i had to replace my cell phone, i ask for one that did not have a camera...and i just got a funny look. i salute your grandfather. Through his service, I am able to live free today. (raises glass). My dad, 83, was a mechanic in WW2, never saw combat, but anyone who has serve, has my respect. carry on, be strong, and dont let the idiots ruin your day. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

not sure where you are located, but california is going to start smog checking 07 (i think) and later diesels. i currently drive an 89 jeep, my camper(and self modified ultralight toy hauler, no smog required) is an 68 GMC. i will never, ever buy another vehicle that falls into the smog requirements. i can continue to drive ant 8 miles per gallon, or drop a crate motor in if i want. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I am a pool guy. Yes, the name of my pool service company is "Cabana Man"...its what general contractors due to chill out during bad times in the building industry. I name my company this to kind of make fun of work. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i lost all my "kids" last year. one dog from cancer, one from a heart attack, one from old age. my pack is gone. i have new babies now, my pack is back...but i miss the others so. the hardest reality of having dogs, or cats, or other pets...is that they will die before you (in most situations). but to give them the life of joy, never to know anger...is the most beautiful gift. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Nah, what's to bash ? Inspite of this latest and tragic death, I'm still not for making people, at least not adults, wear helmets. I wear one myself and I would insist on my family wearing them. But it's not my business to go telling the rest of the world what they have to do to make me feel "safer". wow...a rational person, in a mostly irrational world...what a pleasant surprise. thank you!

while it is sad that this happened...how far should the helmet requirement go? i dont wear one jumping, or skiing. for that matter, no shoes sometimes. only one DZ i ever jumped at (quantum leap) made me wear my camera helmet. yes, its that old personal choice thing.if the logic is that you need to wear a helmet on the bunny slope, then i guess i should wear one all the time. I was 30 feet up in a tree, getting some dead branches down, helmet time? i am near the age she was, and at this point in life, i guess i have become the stubborn old man on some issues. i know i'll get bashed for not being a helmet lover, but we already lived in a over regulated world. and, since the helmet law was enacted in california, when i ride, i seem to ride faster now....more insulated from the speed. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

as we walk out to our nice private backyard, to slip into the jacuzzi, cocktails in hand, a little jimmy buffet on the radio, swimsuits on the floor...."i have a hairy knee...sorry" "what?" oh yeah, she crashed on a bike ride, scuffed the knee, and cant shave her knee yet. i told her, "dude, no need to worry about that." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

if the weather was that nice, i would have suggested loosing the shirt, and jumping in a sports bra. its what this girl did one day when i was at Perris, and now she is my wife. hubba hubba. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i agree. we live in the desert, east of Los Angeles, and got 18 inches awhile ago. We have a jeep cherokee, and it had no problem in the snow. 12-14 inches is nothing. buck up, find a way, you will be happy you did. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

so... do what the plumber is going to do, open up the wall, cut it out, and sweat in a new stub out. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

did you know plumbing is the highest market up trade? but, good work is not cheap, and cheap work is not good. so, what seems to be the problem grasshopper? (BTW, i am a general contractor) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
