JohnMitchell 16 #1 April 5, 2010 Okay, I'll lead off: :0:0 =Still married to Vskydiver 0: Shoulder still in rehab, not jumping. 0: So obviously can't owe beer for anything. We had about a dozen people over for dinner; little kids, jumpers, friends and family. Lots of food, good wine, glitter for the dining table courtesy of LisaH, Easter egg hunt for the kids. Life is awesome. How was your weekend and Easter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites The_Don 0 #2 April 5, 2010 DZ all weekend! open Friday!

Knew they were going to increase so I put my Pilot in my back up rig and got tossed around abit from 800 to 600 feet. Ended up heading toward the open area I call the corner to avoid any possible turbulence off hangars or trees and such. Decided that was it for me. Waited until the evening when the winds came down to about 12 but ended up giving my slot to a student for the last load. Hung out in the hangar cheering for Butler to beat Michigan St and had a couple of beers. Sunday was a bust due to winds. I think this time last year I had something like 40 in the logbook for the year. So far I've put in 4 thanks to the weather. Pretty much the whole broken fibula time was weathered out. I bought the Cobalt, jumped it twice on the lines and then sent it to reline; jumped the new lines twice and that's it. My partner is waiting on his new rig and he's put 8 on my Cobalt which sucks for me.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.
