Guest #26 August 8, 2005 Quote:: After the week I've had, I really needed a jump, but didn't get it this weekend. Went to the DZ, hung out with great peeps Praying for all my peeps at WFFC. Be careful and come back home safely. Dittos on all that, except didn't make it to the dz even. Slept until sat afternoon after a couple all nighters at work last week. Hoping to get some weekday jumps in Wed or Thursday evening. You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #29 August 8, 2005 Met NWFlyer at Snohomish and had a great time. Valinda and I jumped there years ago so "no beer." Sorry. Thanks again to all who bought T-shirts and raffle tickets for the Leap for Lupus next week at Bremerton. (Linny, you're a sweetheart) John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elisha 1 #32 August 8, 2005 Quote0:4:0 Awesome Saturday jumping at Davis. Got on some fun organized 4 and 5 way, an amusing 9 way and the sunset tracking dive. Too bad I almost lost my shoe on exit, so I spent the first 5000 feet getting it back on. Needless to say I got to watch the track dive from below and way behind. Was nice to watch though. No, no, *I* got to watch the track dive from behind - becuase I obviously can't track!
