nipp1e_boy 2 #1 August 28, 2014 Hey fellow old-timers, after a long break (thanks to Uncle Sam/FL DOC) I am happy to say I am back in the air. got my knees in the breeze this past weekend. Because of all the politics and drama at my last DZ, decided to try something new. Penciled the reserve card with my buddys seal no, updated my logbook and showed up. Manifest chick didn't seem impressed by my big-way patches not even the 100 way from POPs a couple of years back. Prolly a freak flier with all the tats and nose ring. No big whup - she let me on. Jump went well. Been a couple of years since the last one so decided to keep it simple. Swooped the 2-way coach jump that went ahead of me and lurked while the "coach" did his thing. Decided to be safe and stay out of their way. Took it down to 2k, pulled, kicked out of line twists by 1200 and landed on the DZ. Heard manifest call my name on the ground, something about wanting to check my log book. Figured it was time to get going. Anyhow loved getting back in the game - gonna be touring a bunch of DZs so hope to see some familiar faces soon. Nipple Boy A-19820"Safety First! Fun Forever!"
