Vallerina 2 #1 July 11, 2004 Yay!:4:I did pay beer.... What a fun weekend! I got a new phone on Thursday, and it's a fancy shmancy phone with a camera. Apparently, these two people were getting very annoyed by my camera usage. Oh well! I had some fun in Indy on Friday night and Saturday morning. I surprised someone with the coolest sunglasses ever and lots of beer. Saturday afternoon, I went out to Hinckley for a few jumps, and I got one in with this crazy woman that you all know and love as EricaH. She rocks! While I was out there, I met this guy who is walking from New York to San Francisco along 30! Last night, people raised enough money so that he could do his first jump out there today! Saturday evening on the last load of the day, I saw JC do the most amazing swoop I've ever seen. I am amazed!!! Unfortunately, I didn't get to jump with Mike, so he posed sexy for me to ease my pains! Our very own Nathaniel worked that grill, and he prevented me from getting third degree burns!!! Thanks!!! To finish up the (late) night, Erica and I drunk dialed Vladi numerous times to tell him about all of the fun he was missing out on! The weekend made me one happy, smiling camper. Now, I'm completely exhausted, and I need to take a nap!!! I should've stopped drinking last night when I tried to serve the volleyball, and I missed the ball entirely! Oops! Is it next weekend yet?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 July 11, 2004 Weekend numbers format Humps (or other significant number from your weekend: Jumps (number of times you left a perfectly airplane in flight this weekend): Beer (how many cases do you owe for firsts) 1-2-15-40-several thousand:2:1 I couldn't distill this weekend into just three numbers. Sorry. 1 for beer four way meet, and for our team average. 2 for the number of teams that competed, and for the number of ringers on the other team. 15 for the plates of Cool Whip applied to my face, shirt and hair, and for how many minutes it took me to wash all that gooey stuff off. 40 for the number of beers consumed between 4 of us Saturday night, and for the number of tracks I ripped off Bean's CD collection. Several thousand for the packing peanuts resting on the floorboard and drivers seat of Wendy's truck. 2 jumps. Our outside center got backpacked pretty hard at the bottom of round 2; he was hurtin' to much to continue so we called it. 1 case owed and paid for first four way meet, even though I'm technically Gold Wings Exempt so I don't have to buy beer anymore.

RoadRash 0 #3 July 11, 2004 Ok, this is a growing trend that has to stop: zero: zip: nada... First I have to work on the weekends now...(my one and only coworker, who is a wimp, asked to be taken off of the schedule for two weekends out of every month...so now I work every other weekend...) Then I have a wedding, I get sick, now I am better...but this is the first weekend that I have taken completely off and I am depressed that I did'nt go out to the DZ...Yeah, I know what your thinking...quit your bitchin'...I'm tired of work, I'm tired of not working enough to pay off bills and jump, and AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, I WILL JUMP AT THE WFFC!!!!!!!!!!!!! (y'all can be witnesses too if you want...)... ~R+R...~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #4 July 11, 2004 :4:1 A check dive to get me back in the air safely (having been out for 7 weeks w/the broken hand) Thanks goes to Johan for going up for a fun 2 way friday night for naught but the cost of the lift ticket. Then three solo's on saturday to try to work out the bugs (need to work on relaxing a bit more in freefall...) Beer was owed for the first (and second) broken bone in a skydive related incident... I was at ASC friday morning and the rest of the weekend blue skys nate... ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #5 July 11, 2004 45:12:1 45 minutes to calm down after my first crew jump. That was so much fun. I've done lots of "playing" under canopy but never any actual crew with a Prodigy and a real crew dawg. I liked it so much I did another one even. HUM, anyone got a 150 crew main they want to sell? 8 jumps Sat and 4 today. 2 crew, 8 jumps with low time jumpers sharing some of what I learned in the tunnel, and 2 solo sits. The case is for the first crew jump, first time intentionally wrapping my feet in someone's lines, first downplane (sorta...we tried anyway). I will gladly pay in green bottles the next w/e I'm at the DZ. All in all a good weekend even for this bitch. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

skymama 37 #6 July 11, 2004 0:0:0 I was so busy with my kids that I hardly got a minute to myself this weekend. BUT...I did get new jump shoes. We all know it's all about being matchy-matchy. I got my new Nikes for only $20. At that price, you'd almost think they have trouble selling blue and pink shoes. Silly people.

No jumps but at least I didn't have to kill kittens all weekend...

JustaBill 0 #17 July 12, 2004 :4:several I'm sure Competed in the novice 2 way scrambles at SDC this weekend. 4 rounds, finished with 23 pts, should have been more like 28 but had a camera problem in one of the jumps (he ended up on our backs on exit) and only got credit for 1 pt on that dive. Had an absolute blast and learned a TON of stuff. Ended on a really good note (turned 9 pts on the last dive). All in all a great weekend for me.------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackass WildBlue pushed me from the Casa Still was a nice freefly dive and I even got a really nice swoop. If not for the wet grass and sliding I would have stood it up.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #25 July 12, 2004 100 or so: 2: 2: 1: 1 of three: 4: 100 more. 100 miles or so to drive from West Palm Beach to Sebastian. 2 twelve-packs of Corona I brought with me 2 times I had to pay for them, because I had to inform the clerk that she'd charged me for only one of the twelve-packs. (I'm so honest!) 1 time so far jumping at Skydive Sebastian (and many more to come!) 1 jump plane at the DZ because the other two are up at CrossKeys 100 miles or so driving home -- and reallly needing to take a nap, trying hard to stay awake on the road. Skydive Sebastian is the nicest DZ I've been to so far in my 94 jumps. I had a blast! Blue skies, --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
