Long read, but a very good story..... A day before his 15th birthday, the son of a wealthy family was asked by his father, `Well my son, what would you like for your birthday?' The son hesitated a moment and his father's thoughts leapt ahead to a new computer and similar things. However, his son had had a new computer only recently and could have a new one any time he wished. Finally, the son said, `Father, I have everything a boy could wish for, but there is one thing I would really like. I would love to have a pink ping pong ball.' The father was rather astonished at this wish, but said, `If it is a pink ping pong ball that you want, a pink ping pong ball you shall have.' And so, the next day, the son was given as his bithday present a pink ping pong ball. The boy took the ball to his room and the next morning the pink ping pong ball was gone. The father was mildly surprised but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong ball, however, was never seen again. The next year, a day before his 16th birthday, the father asked his son what he would like for his birthday. `Father,' replied the son, `I have everything a boy could possibly wish for, but there is one thing I would really, really like. I would love to have a tenpack of pink ping pong balls.' The father was more surprised than the year before, but kept his curiosity at bay, for he knew that his son had a right for privacy. he said therefore, `If it is a tenpack of pink ping pong balls that you want, a tenpack of pink ping pong balls you shall have.' And so, the next day, the son was given as his birthday present a tenpack of pink ping pong balls. The boy took the tenpack of balls to his room and the next morning, not a single ball remained, merely the empty husk of the tenpack. The father wondered where ten pink ping pong balls might disappear to, but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong balls, however, were never seen again. The next year, a day before his 17th birthday, the son was asked by his father what he would like for his birthday. `Father,' said the son to this, `I have everything a boy could wish for, but one thing would make my happiness complete. I would dearly want a carton of pink ping pong balls.' The father was beyond surprise, but decided to make sure he had not misheard. `A carton of pink ping pong balls?' `A carton of pink ping pong balls,' the boy confirmed. `I can't understand your fascination with pink ping pong balls,' said the father, `but if it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you want, it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you shall have.' And so, the next day, the boy was given as his birthday present a carton of pink ping pong balls. The boy was delighted and took the carton to his room. The next day, miraculously (as if by magic, even) the pink ping pong balls had all disappeared. `Dear son,' said the father, `I must ask now, what do you do with all those pink ping pong balls?' The son, however, was reluctant to tell him. `Please humour me, dear father.' The carton of pink ping pong balls, however, was never seen again. The next year, it was clear that the son would get a car, but the father felt that, perhaps, his son also had some other wish apart from the obvious. So, one day before the son's 18th birthday, the father asked him whether he had a special wish for his birthday. `Dearest father,' the son started, `I have everything a young man could possibly want, but there is one craving in me. I would, more than anything, want a warehouse full of pink ping pong balls.' One of these years, his father thought, I should get to the bottom of this. However, he decided to humour his son's wish. At least he had been wise enough to buy shares in a pink ping pong ball factory. The next day, the son was given the address of a warehouse where all his new pink ping pong balls were stored. The son was delighted and decided to spend the next night in the warehouse rather than at home. The following morning, the son stepped out of the warehouse, but it seemed to be empty otherwise. The father had a closer look and indeed, apart from empty cardboard boxes, nothing was left inside the warehouse. No pink ping pong balls were left. The following year, one day before the son's 19th birthday, the father braced himself for another warehouse of pink ping pong balls. He asked his son what his deepest desire was and he had not been entirely wrong. `Father, you have made me very happy these last years and this year I ask of you a shipload of pink ping pong balls if at all possible.' It was possible, if only because the father had by now bought each and every factory of pink ping pong balls in the country. The next day, the father took his son to the harbour and showed him a huge tanker and told his son that there were millions, billions, trillions of pink ping pong balls in there. `Father,' the son said, `You've made me very happy yet again.' That night, the son spent on board the tanker. The next morning, not a single of the pink ping pong balls could be found, but the son was happy. A few days before his 20th birthday, however, the son had a terrible road accident and was taken to the hospital. His father visited the young man in hospital. `My dear son! Can I bring you anything to make you feel better?' Weakly, the son sat up in bed. `Father, dearest father, grant me this wish; just one tenpack of pink ping pong balls.' The father held his son's hand tightly. `Whatever you wish my son, but I have to give you one condition. Even if it may be embarrassing, I must know what you did with all those pink ping pong balls.' `Very well, father, but please indulge me first. I will tell you whatever you wish to know after you have given me the ten pink ping pong balls.' The father thought that was fair enough and the next day brought his son the ten asked for pink ping pong balls. The son smiled weakly but seemed too weak to talk. `Son, I leave these pink ping pong balls with you and shall come back tomorrow to ask of you what you have done with all those pink ping pong balls.' The son nodded weakly. The next day, less than surprisingly, no pink ping pong balls could be found in the son's hospital room. `Now, my dearest son, apple of my eye, treasure of my life, please tell me what you did with all those pink ping pong balls,' the father requested. The son nodded and the father gripped his hand tighter. `I-' the son started and sat up a bit, swallowing with a dry mouth. `I- I-' Then he died. BASE 1384

You shouldn't be trying things just because you like an idea. Trust the manufacturer recommendations - they know more than you do. They're designs are proven with blood. There may be things you haven't imagined, that would render your idea foolhardy. For example, by putting the lines under the reserve pack, you may increase the possibility of the lines snagging where they go around the corners from the riser stow channels, to the d-bag. That could cause the bag to spin coming off your back, leading to severe line twists. Or it could leave a line stuck under there, causing a severe spin when the canopy opens. Or it could even rip the reserve pack right off the harness - it's happened before. If you want to experiment, be prepared to pay for it. With 15 years in the sport, I would think you would know this stuff already... +1 My rigger has told me the horror story of lines that sat under the reserve container. Premature deployment in a head up freeflying position and those lines could rip the reserve container right off. At that point better pray the main is good! BASE 1384

Awesome man. Hope to meet you at an exit point soon BASE 1384

I threw a small themed party (no pants party), intended to attract ~40 people. Three hours later I was being arrested in my underwear, in my own house, after I called the cops. I then received a citation, after being told I "would not receive a citation." almost 30 vehicles (2 paddy wagons, 2 dog units, 1 detective, 2 ambulances, police cars/motorcycles, and a fire truck) and about 50 officers showed up in riot gear and tore the place apart. A couple people got tazed as well. Court date in a week, woo hoo (Disturbance citation, they said they might want to hold me financially responsible for the force that was dispatched). At least the crowds of people on he sidewalk cheered for me as I was escorted out of the house. In my underwear still. PLEASE let us know how that court appearance turns out! BASE 1384

I would have loved to see that go down. BASE 1384

So does your girlfriends door have a really shitty lock? That shits pretty funny though. Earlier this year I had a roomate who had already failed out (< 1 month in) so he could have huge parties on tuesday nights at my house. I got pretty good at putting in the ear plugs and sleeping though the pounding techno. Just be thankful Andy Copland wasnt invited to this party BASE 1384

Yup i am. Show us a better boobie pic too BASE 1384

So, are you saying that FedEx is a pretty good company to work for? They don't press you into slavery and treat you badly? Come on...all card check would do is make you give up a secret ballot...that can't be all that important can it? ** my questions were genuine, my statement is certainly tongue in cheek ** Haha yes it is a great company to work for. From what i can tell, the plan is to treat everyone good, so nobody wants a union. That is why it is such a successful company. Even recently when they had to cut management pay, they were just happy to still have work. BASE 1384

As a fed ex (freight) employee, I am going to be pissed if I have to start paying union dues! BASE 1384

Sabre 190. Mainly because its Z-Po. As long as you have your rigger put a pocket slider on it, it will open fine. (bout 100 jumps on mine with great openings!) BASE 1384

Hey happy birthday man! I turned 20 today, so by my standards, your old as hell! BASE 1384

I have a feeling cramer is going to look like an idiot. Stewart has the audience at his disposal. plus from what ive seen, when cramer gets pissed he loses control. Should be fun! BASE 1384

Most people you will be packing for dont know what a packjob is supposed to look like anyway! I know for me there is no way i could jump if I didnt work at the dropzone. Plus if the DZO knows your gonna be their slave for awhile, they might hook you up and allow you to go negative on your account for awhile, as long as you keep showing up to work and putting the whole check on account. Its cheaper to throw you out of the plane than it is to pay you. Just keep your weekday job for other expenses. BASE 1384

Thats the plan for my sugar momma BASE 1384
