btwitche1975 0 #1 June 24, 2006 Yet another weekend jump opportunity ruined by these piles of shit coming from the ocean. Two weeks ago it was Alberto, this weekend it is the unnamed "take a steaming dump on my weekend" depression. All week it was absolutely beautiful blue skies in every direction - Saturday comes and it looks like something out of The Lord Of The Fucking Rings. It was the same thing two weeks ago. I was hoping to knock out the rest of my AFF levels this weekend but it looks like I should just buy a bottle of Wild Turkey and play with my Legos. Sorry to bring negativity to the BF but I am fucking fretting. I'm thinking about asking my employer if I could switch to a Thursday-Monday schedule. Anybody else feel this way? /* This is my rig...

NWFlyer 2 #3 June 24, 2006 Sucks that you can't skydive... hard when you want to stay current as a student... I did it during the rainy season in the Pacific NW. But if the fact that you can't do AFF jumps is the worst thing to come out of hurricane season, I think we're all doing pretty well."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

btwitche1975 0 #5 June 24, 2006 I took up skydiving with my spare time after gutting & remodeling due to Wilma last year. I grew up here and understand the tradeoff, but the Saturday Sunday rhythm is killing me. /* This is my rig...

btwitche1975 0 #6 June 24, 2006 Hehe. I have to totally agree with you. I just wish I had 800k to afford a home there. /* This is my rig... There are many like it, but this one is mine. */ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremy556 0 #8 June 24, 2006 I hear you. Got to sit all day at the DZ today and no AFF jumps. Looks like tomorrow is going to be the same. I HATE Florida. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Building my own for 350K, five acres, wine grapes, 60 miles to DZ....perhaps you should check prices. Oh, and just build your own, that saves about 30% off the top. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2fat2fly 0 #10 June 25, 2006 I talked to some of the crew out in Destin, they were jumping today. But I flew from Atlanta to Ft. Lauderdale and we were routed over Tampa in to the gulf, down over the keys and back up the east coast to avoid weather...I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #14 June 25, 2006 Hey if you are just sitting around Zhills all day, at least come over to the bomb squad table and introduce yourself and socialize. We were all sitting around looking at the clouds too. When you get to know everyone, then when you get off student status you will know people to ask to jump with.... see ya around, Marc and Alysse. PS- Fact is we are very lucky to be able to skydive ALL YEAR ROUND! So if the weather is bad there is always another day!

jeremy556 0 #17 June 25, 2006 Where is the bomb squad table? I was sitting in the lawn chair in front all day waiting to go up for AFF3 after being on load 1 for my AFF2. I left when the big storm was coming in around 3 and didn't get to do AFF3 today. I was happy to at least get one jump in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
