CanuckInUSA 0 #26 November 17, 2003 Dang Cora, you did some good skydives this weekend. I too had a good weekend. 0:9:0 Several quality freeflies, several jumps where I jumped with lesser experienced people and numerous 270s and resulting swoops.

TaeKwonDoDo 0 #27 November 17, 2003 1:1:1 Had a great time playing Dad all day Saturday while Mom was taking a Notary class . 1 Helicopter jump from 6K - if this is what base-jumping is like.... could easily become another addiction. 1 Case for the heli jump - but had to bail early today due to more family commitments. If the weather is good next weekend - gonna jump till I puke. - Jeff "That's not flying, it's falling with style." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmpnkramer 0 #29 November 17, 2003 Ya Know: 7 : 0 It was an outstanding weekend. I am so happy for Mi Lady. She did however fail to mention that there was not a cloud in the sky and it was around 82. It is such a hard life here in Florida. Unfortunately we got a call yesterday afternoon and the tunnel was down. Of course the good news is that we live here and have the opportunity to go whenever we choose. Don't fret though. Ya'll will get to laugh at me for one week around Thanksgiving. Cora and I will be in Wisconsin. More fun to be had this weekend though. Ya'll take care.

Dumpster 0 #30 November 17, 2003 14 drawers built, 3 face fronts built, 0:and 0 = = = Spent the whole weekend playing Joe Carpenter again. Next time I get it in my head to build kitchen cabinets instead of buying - Who am I trying to kid? I Love it! I can't remember last time I had this much fun in the garage with my pants on! No jumps - Lousy weather - And I have been challenged by the Ground Hugging Whuffo that I can't stay away from the DZ long enough to finish the cabinets. Her son is supposed to start laying the tile for the new floor the weekend of the December 5th. I plan on being done well before that! See youse guys Thanksgiving Weekend!

Brains 2 #31 November 17, 2003 0:3:1 First number, well no lucky i guess. Got to make three more tandems on Sunday after i got back from hunting. One more and i get to start getting paid for them. Beer for my first tandem from an otter(as a tm), damn that is nice. I had a friend surprise me and video the jump for me. I attached some pics from the jump. Lots of fun Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lizzieb 0 #33 November 17, 2003 Saturday was cold and rainy, so the Hollister 4-way camp was called off...some people chose to do hop n' pops, but a few of us went to movies and saw Elf instead. Sunday was gorgeous...I did 1 helicopter jump. Awesome ride up to 6K, then a 2-way with bat150. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #39 November 17, 2003 :11:0 What a great weekend! I had written it off since weatherman was forecasting 30-80% chances of rain Sat & Sun. He was correct in H Town, but at the DZ we only had enough of a shower to keep the dust down, blue skies, puffy clouds, big holes!!!

KerMor 0 #47 November 17, 2003 7:3:1 One great helicopter jump on Sunday And I give a big THANK YOU to Ken for giving me his slot so that I can jump 7 is the number of line twist I got on my second jump . I was lucky, the parachute was flying straight, toward the dz. one nice 6-way speed start with a great funnel to add to our "H-Town funnel video" one 10-way RW that did not quite work.
