bob.dino 1 #29 September 12, 2006 Quote Anyway, it's only 6-10 weeks until I move back to Australia, where I'll have a PAC an hour away. On the down side, I have to buy a fucking AAD now. On the plus side: it'll be coming into summer, and the folks at Naggers are damn fine. I can introduce you to some of them.

kelpdiver 2 #33 September 12, 2006 Quote grue, man.....just come to California...we can handle you in NorCal. There is Byron, Davis, Lodi, Hollister and Monterey all with turbines... I didn't even have any of this "73 days" nonesense last winter over here. I did. 3.5 hours of driving is hard for me to want to do for the chance the clouds will break. Though I almost made it at one point at Byron, but the skies closed up. I fell out of currency last week, but it's going to be a while still for me. Can't get my left arm into even a tight tucked belly yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dharma1976 0 #34 September 12, 2006 Quote 7 months and counting I just don't have the money, and I wonder where everyone else seems to find it. Travel, Gas, Gear, Jumps, Coaching...I don't have the $ for any of it. Seems like every month I read another letter in the Parachutist about someone else dropping due to cost. I keep telling myself as long as I pay for the membership, take care of my gear, and genuinely want to come back - I'll get back in the air, someday. As for the near term, I work M-F and often on the weekends. I don't see anything in my future other than work (and again, I wonder how others seem to have countless hours to spend at the DZ) Good luck to you Grue, but I'd take 73 days over my 7 months in a heartbeat. eat nothing but quesadillas and sell all your possessions they wont mean as much to you once you are hardcore in.. or pack parachutes Davehttp://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
