NWFlyer 2 #1 April 28, 2008 I'm pretty sure that's you ... writing your article for Parachutist before you even have your A license. Nice work!

(They usually come on the same day in the same mailbox. weird) I DID get my new Skydiving magazine today though! Nice article about the Thailand boogie we just got back from! Congrats grannyinthesky! Can't wait to read the article! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Page 11 of the May issue, for those who want to check it out). Thanks, it is me. Someone from USPA read my blog on myspace and asked if I was interested in submitting an article, so I did. Being a math teacher, it's a challenge to try to write coherently. I havn't got my magazine yet, so I don't know how they may have fixed it. Skydiving means a lot to me as you can hopefully tell from the article. And a huge part of skydiving for me is all the people I am meeting, both here and at the dz. Hopefully I'll get to meet lots more people this summer."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The refrig at the dz was looking pretty bare yesterday. I'm glad I'm not the only one who will be refilling it and my case is sure not going to be the light stuff that was left in there.

grannyinthesky 0 #15 April 29, 2008 Thanks, all of you. As much of a post whore as this place has made me, I'll pass on posting indivudual thank you's. Skydiving is more than just jumping out of airplanes to me and all of the great people like you folks are very much part of my life now because of it. Oh, yeah, things finally went my way for the first time in two months yesterday and I actually got to jump again. Woo hoo!!"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

AggieDave 6 #16 April 29, 2008 I got two. One goes in the guest bathroom and the other is typically "accidentally" left somewhere. I asked the USPA to only send one since my wife and I are both members, but they won't, they HAVE to spend the money to print two copies and mail two copies to us.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Yeah, JohnMitchell likes to sometimes take his copy to work so all those Air Traffic Controllers can read Parachutist on their breaks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beer would have been good, and it was a great day. Besides, I could have helped ya study. But, they tell me we there is lots of good weather coming, so maybe we'll see you soon."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

TrophyHusband 0 #21 April 29, 2008 skydiving, beer, and calculus? comething would have to give, and it wouldn't be the beer or the skydiving. i've really been needing to jump lately. it doesn't help that the smoke jumpers train at the airport here in mountain home. from my back yard i get to watch the twin otter take off and only dump out 2 or 3 jumpers before going back down. hopefully i will make it out soon. its been way too long.

There are priorities, of course and you've got them in the right order here. The weather looks a little cooler, but nice this weekend and the test will be done by then, right? I've got another road trip Friday and Saturday, but I'm planning on being there Sunday. Come on over, Pat"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!
