Weekend numbers 21-22/06

[Baksteen 84]

Well, actually my 'weekend' was Friday and Saturday.

:12:2

Friday was midsummernight at my DZ, where we jump from sunrise till sunset (nine am to half past ten pm). We had a Caravan there for the evening; it was great to have twelve skydivers in the air at the same time. Usually we fly a 206 turbine, but even our pilot Jaap cannot fly that fast.
Saturday was all you can jump for 99 euros at Teuge, so I decided to check that out too.

In addition, I finally bought a rig, though I'm not quite decided on the main yet.

Beers owned:
-first jump out of a caravan (at my home DZ)
-bought my first rig

I agree, although "weekend" should really be the WEEK beginning on Monday.

tandems are fun because you don't have to pack and to Karen with the "I love shaved beaver" T-shirt - you made our day

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

15 minutes of tunnel time on Wednesday, 14 jumps Thursday through today, including my 400th today. Another very fucking hot but very fun boogie up in Davis this weekend. Kudos to the whole crew at Skydance for putting on yet another fabulous American Boogie.

Did several great small to mid sized RW jumps Thursday, Friday, and today, and bigger ways with Roger Ponce on Friday. The 400th today was an attempt to do an 8-way with a terribly cute inflatable dragon out the back of the Skyvan ... unfortunately her tail and handles fell off on exit. But I still managed to ride the body for a while and it was a great skydive nonetheless.

Now I'm sitting in the Sacramento airport, exhausted at the end of another great boogie, heading back home.

1 weekend that I finally didn't have any plans or was sick:4:2

4 fun jumps this weekend! One sitfly with Eric and a 3way hybrid with Aaron and Tara on Saturday followed by icky weather.

Today, practice jumps for the Women's Ohio State RW record-short and interrupted due to weather. My first 12 way with 12 girls followed by an all girl 8 way. Followed by more icky weather. Yuck! But lots of fun!

Cindy fucked her knee royally - badly torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments on MRI - will need surgery this week, and out for the season for sure.. She is very bummed, as am I. Please send her some good vibes.

0:0:0 In Japan visiting our daughter for a few weeks - no jumping for me, although I brought my logbook just in case I can get to the local dz.

But enough about me ---Cindy!!! that sucks! I have a prescription for numerous jumps with her. I will bring her sake to help take her mind off it. Give her big hugs for me.

Took a well needed break from the DZ this weekend. A group of us went canoing on the Flint River in GA. Great, great time.

Damn. That really sucks. I saw doc's post that says surgery is in order. Take care and heal quick.

3 mid sized RW jumps on Friday after work. 2 tandem videos and a 4-way video on Saturday.

Then I played with the lovely ladies shooting video for a 11-way, and an 8-way while the ladies practiced for the Ohio State record on Sunday... I left the plane a just the perfectly wrong time on the second jump and nearly landed on top of them... but after doing a couple of cartwheels (and entertaining my girlfriend in the process who is the only one who saw any of it) I caught some air and everything went smoothly from there.

I also did a tandem vid on sunday... all in all my tandem videos are getting better... I'm learning how to stay closer on exits prior to the TI tossing the drogue...
overall a fun weekend...

awwww. thanks
But, really, no need to suck up. Your pineapples are coming along nicely.
I'm going to try to get out early enough on Friday for at least one jump.

6 competition 4 ways--Beer owed for first competition won and getting the most points in a round (Round #2 was 17 points*!!!).

1 Almost 20 way (we got 19 in, and #20 went low) and then turned second point. And I wasn't in the base (finally)!!!

2 fun 4 ways

Also beer owed for paying for a pack job...a first for me. It took me over 450 jump to do it, and I was tired after a long day of competing and the 20 way so I gave it up. Ugh...I can't believe I paid for a pack job.

*Disclaimer...So round #2 was stairstep, round, open, but it was 17 points none the less.
