Weekend numbers!!!

Recommended Posts

0:3:1

What a great weekend! Last week, I ended up inspecting and repacking 8 reserve canopies including 4 pilot rigs, and come Saturday, my rig is outta date. You know the old adage of the barefoot shoemaker?!?! Well, I showed up to the DZ, with no rig, just intending to pack for students (I figure as a Rigger I need a certain amount of pro bono work...). Either way, I helped set up a SL direct bag system (we use PC assist) and test jumped it. Then friendly jumpers were more than happy to lend me a rig when we got backed up on students.

It felt good though. I taught a few packing lessons, helped with the book keeping, and I honestly had a good time at the DZ without jumping.

I love CRW anyway, but when I'm doing a biplane with Skydivermom, cruising around the sky enjoying the sunset and appreciating life and she starts singing, it's pure magic.

I don't think I can do justice trying to describe the moment, but it runs chills through me thinking about it.

Here's what she was singing.



Cruisin' by Smokey Robinson

Baby, let's cruise away from here
Don't be confused, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
This is not a one night stand, babe, yeah
So let the music take your mind, whoa
Just release and you will find

Your gonna fly away, glad your going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is playing for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Babe, tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch we get closer and closer
To every little part of each other
Ooh, babe, yes
Let the music take your mind, babe
Just release and you would find

Your gonna fly away, glad you're going way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Music is playin' for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

(Cruise with me, babe)

(Cruise with me, babe)

Cruuuuuuuuuise

Oh, oh, babe, yeah
Oooooh, babe
Oooooh, ooooooh
Aaaah, Babe
So good to cruise with you, babe
So good to cruise with you
Ooooooh, yeah
You need me, babe
Aaaaah, babe loves crusin'
Let's flow, let's glide
Ooooh let's open up, and go inside
And if you want it you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
And love you, babe, oh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find

Your gonna fly, yeah, glad you're going way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is for love, cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Oh, babe
We gonna fly away
Ohhh, yeah
Plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is for love, cruisin' is made for love
I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it



Kathleen, thankyou for one of the best skydives I will ever have.

JEEEZE people suck at posting weekend numbers this week.

Hey, it's not that hard! You do it like this


[Humps] : [Jumps] : [Cases owned]



Humps - The number of times you fornicate, either with yourself, your girl/boy friend, hubby, wife, or whatever gets you going.

Jumps - Number of times you jump

cases Owed - Utter the "f" word? Put a tick mark here.

As long as you ship international!

Haha, it actually wasn't a bad bit of money for something i essentially enjoy doing :)
Out of interest, what are you paying your editors? I was largely doing my tandem camera friends a favour while i can't film.

I had passed my check dive the previous weekend, so all I needed was three more jumps for my A. So Saturday, I was on a mission. Solo, pack, solo, pack, solo. Woohoo! got my A, including the ceremonious stamp on the forehead. Then I went on a 2-way with a friend. It was a swoop and dock, but a little too ambitious for newbs, so we kept chacing each other's fall rates and never got the dock part.

Sunday: Another couple 2-ways and a solo. One of the 2-ways was with the guy that got me into skydiving and introduced me to this dropzone. It was very cool to finally be able to jump with him.

And I already paid the beer debt for my A. B|
