    If you can get to Cross Keys in New Jersey, just ask manifest for an organizer. If you can't get there, ask anyone doing rw who to see about doing rw. Just be truthful about your experience level.

    Billy, I don't think that you were disrepecting anybody. Believe me, I was just as skeptical that the NJ record was a 17 way before last year. That was broken by an 18 way set last August. There were 9 people on the jump with under 1000 jumps, some as low as 250. I think that everyone enjoyed themselves and more importantly, no one was hurt. Especially the Bald Guy!

    I started it today and no money was collected. It seems that only people who know you where there. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

    You had better get off the streets of the Big Apple and get you knees in the breeze. You have entirely too much free time on your hands. Either get some jumps OR get laid.

    Yes, just place it over the old insulation. Just be sure to use un faced batts. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

    The replacement windows should be made pretty tight. The sides, bottom and head can be caulked. The inert gas thing is really a ripoff, but the low "E" option is a winner. Cuts down the radiant heat from sunlight in the summer, but lets it pass through in the winter when the Sun's angle is lower. The more insulation the better. You can check online for info for your area, but the norm is 12" minimum. Make sure you use unfaced batts over any existing insulation.

    Contact the electrician's local union and ask them the particulars. I'm pretty sure they give an aptitude test at least once a year. Here in Philadelphia, the electricians also have a "summer help" type program that is like a pre apprenticeship.

    If you have a prescription plan, or some $$, get a prescription for CHANTRIX. I'm on it and have went from 3 1/2 packs a day to about 5 cigarettes without the munchies, anxiety, temper flareups, etc. Believe me it's well worth the money.

    Not afraid of much in the world, but I kind of respect an agency that can empty your bank account, garnish your wages, tow your car and sell your house without needing a court order. If I felt the need to play with their heads, I would be damn sure they owed ME money before attempting your suggestions.

    Wherever you go, first ask manifest if there is anyone who would take you under there wing for the day. If you're lucky to find one, please be honest about your experience level and limitations. Might not cost you a dime. I think that it's a shame that anyone, after acquiring an A license has to pay to jump with someone. If you can get to Cross Keys, look me up. I'll pay for my own slot and jump with you.

    I had a girlfriend that complained that all I cared about was skydiving, going out to dinner and sex. I told her she (a whuffo) was batting .666 with me. She told me that there was more to life than any of those 3 items. She's now batting .000 Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

    I recently traveled with my rig. On the outboung leg, I did the carryon thing with no problems what so ever. On the return leg, checked my rig, again no problems. Both legs were non stop and I would definitly do carry on if I had to change planes, or had layovers.

    I don't think that you should down size right now. Given your jump numbers, you haven't mastered the canopy (and wing loading) you're jumping now. Take your time and get to know your canopy's flight characteristics in ALL conditions. High wind, light wind, cross wind, wind shear, etc. Pick a canopy that will snatch you away from the jaws of pain when you need it.

    They are usually closed Monday and Tuesday in the winter. I'd try again tomorrow after 10 am. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

    I'm a regular and they should be open with a VERY limited staff. Most of them are at Sebastian. The only jump plane I know is there is a C-182.
