grue 1 #1 September 10, 2005 35mph winds at my DZ Plus, I doubt I'll jump again until my rig gets here... though I may go make a couple jumps on the Solo 230 we just put in one of the student rigs, just to get a couple jumps on a smaller ZP canopy, so I don't break my legs on my first jump with the Fusioncavete terrae.

NWFlyer 2 #2 September 10, 2005 Because it's kind of gray and icky out there. It seems to be improving so that it's hop-and-popable, but at this point, I'm not going to bother with the drive.

wildcard451 0 #8 September 10, 2005 It is because I slept in on account of the fact that I partied too hard last night which meant I was in no condition to make the drive at 7am this morning and making the drive right now is still a questionable act and hopefully I will be right in time for a nice sunset jump tonight but if not I will be good to go by tomorrow assuming that I don't make the same mistake tonight and abuse my body by drinking more alcohol than I should when I show up at the DZ in about two hours but I don't think I am going to let that happen because I want to make a few jumps tomorrow for my coach's course next week and don't want to take a weekend off before the course. That's why I am not jumping yet today. Searching for punctuation? ,.,,.,..;,.,.; Edit them where you want them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #23 September 10, 2005 I'll be on the JFTC event in a few weeks. I'm not wanting to hurt myself in a weird landing or something. It's a fine line going to a big way event. You need to stay current, but then as the event draws closer, I don't want to jump cause I don't want to get hurt.
