It's not captioned and you really have to be looking for me to find it. But I'm in there ... in my VMax suit! HA! Yes I see it! Page 16. Your in the mock up right in the center! COOL!

grannyinthesky 0 #52 May 2, 2008 I already paid up last night. I'll owe beer at LP in all likelihood anyway cause it'll be my first time there and I figure I might be able to come up with a few other firsts as well."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

I think your amazing and can't wait to meet you & jump with you! I know too well how finals are. I still take a class or two most quarters and I don't like them any better now than when I was a full time student. I also don't like giving finals. I don't think they are a good indicator of what students have learned, but I can' only fight the system so much. Thanks, Pat"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

Being a math person, I don't do a lot of writing, so it was quite a challenge. I still haven't gotten to see it yet. I had to go out of town to a meeting and I'm hoping it'll be in my mailbox when I get home."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

iluvtofly 0 #60 May 5, 2008 Quote I finished AFF today, but the way!! Did I just hear your say, "I owe more beer." Congrats again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #61 May 5, 2008 Yep, I owe more beer. And I jumped my own pack job for the first time today too. I had packed the rig Thursday night when I was at the dz and no one could jump because of the wind. I was the only one using that student rig, so I had a feeling that it was my pack job I was about to jump. Doing a diving exit and back loop knowing I was about to be depending on what i had packed was just too much, so I asked after. It opened just fine.But I think that is also cause for beer.
