As of 846am, I have the canopy :) http://spiceweasel.net/surprise.jpg cavete terrae.

http://spiceweasel.net/surprise.jpg I WIN! cavete terrae.

0:0:0... But it won't be like that next weekend! cavete terrae.

now that would really suck If you happen to hear about a rampage and hundreds of dead Customs officials, you'll know what happened cavete terrae.

I'll bring up the "cheaper" end of the discussion: http://spiceweasel.net/DSC00059.jpg Just a minor error in judgment under an unfamiliar canopy resulting in a couple of dislocated toes (one of which reduced itself on the way to the hospital) About a thousand bucks. cavete terrae.

Damned good point! My rig is at the DZ, I took it up there a couple weeks ago for a repack + Cypres install, I didn't realise I left the risers and toggles i nthe damned rig until I got home. Otherwise I'd put the bag + risers on when the canopy gets here, and just hook it up and go jump. Now I've gotta blow a bit of time assembling everything when I get there. cavete terrae.

Hm, I guess this is more complicated than I thought, I didn't take into account that some people's DZs are windier than others. I'm used to a windy dropzone, so a 3mph wind to me seems realllly low I guess I'll have to see what the weather forecasts are saying when I actually have the canopy in hand, and make the call then. cavete terrae.

I've been doing minimal jumping over the last few months whilst I've been waiting for my new canopy (Precision Aero Fusion 190, tapered zp 9, if you don't know it. Flies similar to a Sabre2 or Safire 2). It's due to arrive Monday, which is of course very exciting, but I have a question. Would you, as a person in a similar hypothetical situation, rather jump on an 80° day with a light breeze (3mph or so), or a 95° day with a stiffer breeze (13mph or so). For my metric brothers, 27° and 5km/h, or 33° and 21km/h So which would you pick, and why? Addendum: I'm probably close to 15 lbs lighter than I was on the old 210 (same model), so this really shouldn't be THAT much of a change really. I could land that one upwind, downwind, crosswind, rear risers, whatever. It's just that it was six months ago cavete terrae.

Ok, now comes the fun part: Jan 6, 2007 9:21 PM In transit ALEXANDRIA AU Package available for clearance cavete terrae.

Nope. I've never even seen one outside of a zoo cavete terrae.

Whole milk makes me want to gag. I can drink skim/1%/2%, but anything more than that doesn't do it for me. I can only drink milk with a PBJ, or oreos, or some kind of chocolate though. I can't just randomly sit down with a class of milk. cavete terrae.
-
Yup, you better hope for customs to intervene now, it's in Sydney cavete terrae.
-
I've been drinking an average of a litre a day of skim milk over the last week. That's kinda scary. But it goes so good with a nice sandwich *yum* cavete terrae.

Don't give 'em any ideas \ Don't worry, it will get lost in customs. If something's going to fuck me, it'll be customs. I had a dream they opened it with a box cutter and sliced open half of the cells. cavete terrae.

now somewhere between Hawaii and Australia cavete terrae.
-
still Honolulu, been about 13.5 hours now. However, I don't expect them to have more than one flight a day from HNL to SYD or MEL, so it probably just missed it yesterday. Should leave today I imagine. cavete terrae.

Well yeah, you keep getting older, and the sheep stay the saaaaame age. cavete terrae.

Rainy city my ass. Melbourne usually does have on average 7-10 more days with rain per year than Sydney, HOWEVER, Sydney's actual rainfall levels average almost 200% those of Melbourne. And yes, you're more than welcome to stay here, the main caveat is that while I have a second bedroom, I don't have a second BED. I've got a pair of big leather couches though! cavete terrae.

What colors did you choose for your canopy & why?
grue replied to mattyblast's topic in Gear and Rigging
Not sure how visible it'll be in low-light conditions... True enough. Hopefully it won't end up being something I ever have an issue with. cavete terrae. -
Come to Australia, foolio! Hell, you're welcome to crash at my place if you come to Melbourne. cavete terrae.
-
Well it def, wont be here Monday, it will be still recovering from the luou (sp) and ridding Big boards I am soo going to make you pay big ...Did I mention thw Winner chooses the Eating establishment. I'm going to be kinda annoyed if my canopy shows up smelling like a pig roast cavete terrae.

I second this. I may not technically be atlanta crew, but I've been to SDA more times than any other DZ besides where I learned to jump cavete terrae.

As of a few minutes ago, it's in Honolulu cavete terrae.

Get yourself patched up wit hthe quickness, boy! cavete terrae.
