  1. The secret is to sit in the back of the plane, and to get your fly open easier use velcro instead of a zipper (a rigger can do this in 5 min). Then, after everybody sits down and has buckled their seatbelt (safety first!), pull out yer pecker and start rubbing it on their rig. I started freeflying and then found CRW...so I could sit in the back and nobody would notice ('cept the pilot, but he thinks its funny). ...and if they feel you rubbing, just tell them its a "pin check". -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

  3. ...and diet coke goes flying out my nose. I gotta show that to the boss tomorrow. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  4. Because if you don't, you're deliberatly being silly. Besides, I think we are really talking about drug abuse, not drugs. My Black's states a drug is a natural or synthetic substance that alters one's perception or consciousness. If, for the average person, Vitamin C does that, then it is a drug, -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  5. To add, simliar 7xx consews are part interchangable, but I don't think that machine (who can tell?) is as heavy duty as a 7 or 35k class singer, more like a 45k singer.

  6. 2g? Seems like a bit much for what looks like a singer clone. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  7. Drat. You're right. These big words confuse me. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.

  9. No, and I never said I took anyones death lightly. But, you can't take those deaths back. I don't see how, when we are talking about trying to make the best of a bad situation, bringing up the cost is helpful. We can't undue the war now that we really, really know it was not worthwhile. Even that is still debatable, but requires playing "what if" games and that in itself is not usefull. The rest of your comments were crap and really didn't have anything usefull or valid in them. Kinda like a stale donut. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  10. We're all doomed .....dooommmeeedd... dooommmeeeed... Whatever. I'd rather keep trying and failing, than sit around doing nothing and criticizing everything. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  11. What about them? They're dead. People die in this world. Iraqi's were dying by Saddam's hand, by the Iranians, and because of internal ethinic conflict and anti Saddam resistance. Some Marines, soldiers, sailors, coasties, merchant marines, and airmen would have died during traning accidents, in accidents on leave, and due to foul play. What if they had found WMD? What about the dead ones then? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  12. Howabout we say that the Iraqi's have a better chance of being free. The intellegence was wrong, and because of that we were wrong to go to war and we should admit that. I supported the war, and without the hindsight, I still do. Now we have to ensure that the Iraqi's get the best chance possible at a happy, healthy and stable existance. Something they've never had. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  13. How wide is wide? -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  14. Nobody else who was jumping with you had a small (microline) or large (dacron) rubber band? Sounds like a tandem rubber band. Using the wrong part is asking for trouble. I don't like trouble if its easily avoided. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  15. True, he should slow down, 24 over is very fast and could be exceedingly dangerous. But why was that road 55 mph? Is that area currently undergoing study for a speed limit change? That's the part I have a problem with. There's a school of thought that believes fines tend to provide revenue to the state, its another form of taxation. I don't like the idea of the state depending on people to break the law, just so they can bring in more funds. By fighting the ticket you can make the expense of issuing the ticket greater than the amount of the fine. When I was in Nevada, I worked at home and I had the opportunity to go down to the legislature and testify before the traffic comittee (et al) everytime a interesting issue this came up. It was a worthwhile experience, but I accomplished little (well, I got a good education in government), and I believe that fighting through the courts is a better approach. Combining both techinques would be worthwhile, but unless you are independantly wealthy, I doubt anyone has the time. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

  16. I'd be suprised if he looked at you at all, but you never know. I tried disputing 7 helmet violations once (bigger story at play) and after two years I had barely started. These things don't get resolved quickly if you contest, that is for sure. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  17. You can change the bridle to a rope bridle which will allow the d-bag to slide down the bridle and "collapse" the pilot chute with its grommet. Its a cheap way of making a pilot chute collapsable, but it does wear the mesh a bit. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  18. I've been funneling arms to the Quebec Freedom Militia for many years now. They're well prepared to defend them selves. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  19. I did a similar thing (with an email addy) to my platoon sergeant when I was at Pendleton. It works like a charm, he was pissed off! -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  20. Is it me, or does everybody envision a (probably different) particular local skydiver everytime they see the phrase "test drop dummy". -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  21. Exactly. I never understand why people depend on somebody in DC to solve all problems when there is a group of people you can actually walk up and talk to working at the state legislature, or city council, and they're only a few hours away. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

  22. Deleted. I'm still confused, but I see that you are in Ca. Makes more sense. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  23. Aww, you destroyed a perfectly good "snivvler" by unfolding it. "Inspect it in the air" I always say. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
  24. If it were me, I wouldn't of said anything. Just take the policy to a lawyer and ask him if there's anything about excluding skydiving. If you don't say anything and there's nothing in the policy about skydiving, then I think you are golden. (IANAL of course) -- drop zone (drop'zone) n.

  25. Given the amount it cost me to earn my riggers ticket and the fact that I can only do it part time, it would of been cheaper to let someone else keep my rigs in date. I'd still rather do it myself. -- drop zone (drop'zone) n. An incestuous sesspool of broken people. -- Attributed to a whuffo girlfriend.
