The Wait - Was it worth it?

Recommended Posts

Thanks all!

Leroy, I'm about 5 hours north of the Chicago DZ's. I'm used to snow.

It must be an omen. The skies have opened, so far, this morning. Looks like a nice, bright blue, with a light breeze. Looks like I'll be doing something today other than hunting...;)

Oh, yea, a few days ago my new Altimaster Neptune arrived. Lara at Alti-2 calls it my unstealable Neptune. I was pretty upset when mine was ripped off at Rantoul, and I finally decided to have a custom one made. Check out the attached pic. I'd like to see someone try and jump this after ripping it off without being noticed!
The pic quality isn't perfect, buy fyi, the bottom is hot pink, top is deep plum (purple), and battery cover is flo-yellow. :ph34r:

Thanks everybody! I got to jump it today. Just a 4500 exit, 2400 pull to get my knees in the breeze, but DAMN! this rig is sweet!

I just love that feeling after deployment of, well, nothing. Really. I used to always loosen the leg straps on my Javelin, otherwise sitting in the harness would literally be painfull. I wouldn't do X-country jumps for that reason. That's not needed in this rig, so I see a bunch of them on this rig!

I am so impressed, that over the next week I'll work up a review for the gear section.

Oh, I got it hooked up to the Bird-Man suit too, but ran out of time (I just now finished setting up 2 Christmas trees). Hopefully I'll soar like the buzzard I am next weekend! :)

We are all human, and of the flesh, Wally. Well, that, and I'm NOT Catholic (anymore). Altar boys off limits. Their mothers....


Seriously, I talk a big game as most here know, but in the end, I love my wife, period.

For those that love the top, thanks! there is another that will replace it in a few months (the same, I guess, only about 25% bigger cross).
I did ask for a cross, and all the other stuff, but kudos go to Mike (Nightjumper here on dropzone.com) for the actual design. He had seen it in the embroidery shop's stuff, so when I asked, he got this huge grin and said he had the perfect one for me.

He was right!

Thanks mike!
