Skyrose7 0 #26 November 10, 2003 :2:0 wow, it was chilly jumping this weekend, but I was jonesin! ground temps were between 20 and 30. ouch! I don't know what it ended up at altitude, but it was chilly. Michelin woman jumps are always fun though when you have so many clothes on you can't do much but flail.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

jceman 1 #28 November 10, 2003 6 weeks since my last jump:0:0 Go see the ortho Dr on Wednesday, if my Xrays look good, I hope to get back in the air over Thanksgiving. If not, I'll probably go nucking futz! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Kramer 0 #30 November 10, 2003 0:0:0 While this may seem like a worthless post, it was a very special weekend for me as far as skydiving goes. I withdrew all of my money from my online poker account. In one month, I turned $100 into over $1000, and I now have my AFF paid for in advance! I can't wait for some warm weather now... Being a poor college kid, I wasn't sure how long it was going to take me to get my A. But it looks like it shouldn't be terribly long now. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmpnkramer 0 #32 November 10, 2003 Uh A Few times: 6 : 0 Had some pretty decent jumps on Saturday. Learned that LadySkydiver needs to relax when jumping with the likes of me and Oren. She was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooo tense thinking she had to perform better or something. I dunno. We are going to get her in the tunnel with Sally though. Isn't it just so nice to have everything at your fingertips? Many Drop Zones, World Champions, the Wind Tunnel, and lots of Beautiful weather! Why would you want to be anywhere else? I JM'd the night jumps during the lunar eclipse. I beat that by about 15min. That is before it was a total eclipse. Did a nice 7-PT 4-Way with some foreigners. Only one minor injury b/c one guy did not flare. He busted his lip. Not bad for 5 first timers and a total of 12 jumpers. One last thing, it was funny watching Cora dying in the wonderful 86+ degree weather while the rest of us were saying how cool it was.

Dumpster 0 #33 November 10, 2003 0:1:0 One jump Saturday afternoon on the sunset load, zoo/combat RW with Fast, Indyz, Tiffany and Tom J. Froze my fingers under canopy (wrong gloves) but otherwise was nice and warm. - Hung out for the club meeting and spent the rest of the weekend building solid oak cabinets for the kitchen. This woodworking thing is actually beginning to become fun! "Sweet Sweet Sarah" has about 450 bucks saved for her tunnel fund!! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmpnkramer 0 #34 November 10, 2003 QuoteFroze my fingers under canopy (wrong gloves) but otherwise was nice and warm. Hmmmmmmmm! I bet even Cora is not going to be able to take it then after having such beautiful weather down here. It looks like we shall be out there on the 29TH. I highly doubt that I will make more than one jump. Ya never know though. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

He probably doesn't realize that WB is a lot older than he is, since they act the same age. QuoteI did a bit of everything there: BirdMan, RW, freefly, hog-flop, and even a tandem.

ladyskydiver 0 #36 November 10, 2003 : 4 : 0 QuoteLearned that LadySkydiver needs to relax when jumping with the likes of me and Oren. She was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooo tense thinking she had to perform better or something. I dunno. We are going to get her in the tunnel with Sally though. I know...I know....I just have a bad habit of wanting to make sure the jump is as fun for those of advanced jump numbers as it is fun for me....and of trying to be perfect at the jump. But...I did relax the last 2 jumps and they did go better. I'm sooooooo looking forward to doing tunnel time with Sally. I can not wait!!! The first 10 minutes I did in the tunnel rocked. Now....more tunnel time....with Sally? SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! I'm definitely loving Florida and ZHills. QuoteOne last thing, it was funny watching Cora dying in the wonderful 86+ degree weather while the rest of us were saying how cool it was. And here I am thinking it's funny watching Floridian's say that 86+ degree weather is cool! I know you and others say that next year I'll be saying the same thing, but yesh!!! I had sweat pouring off me. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

RevJim 0 #37 November 10, 2003 :3:3* Self explanitory 3 jumps, including my pre-second and second Bird Man jumps. Woooooooo Fucking Hoooooooo! 3 cases owed *When reading the beer rules, it is specifically stated that only one case can be owed per jump, so that's what I'm going by. If I didn't....hmmmm: 1. 1st jump at SGC. 2. 1st Bird Man jump. 3. 1st jump with my new Neptune. 4. 1st jump with my new Hawkeye TM. 5. 1st Bird Jump for me at SDC. and probably lots more if I dug..... Next weekend, hopefully, first Bird Man jump at Skydive Adventure, Omro, WI. (Gotta remember to zip up everything before climbing in a Cessna.)It's your life, live it!

freeflygoddess 0 #39 November 10, 2003 I had an awesome weekend! 0:7:0 I felt like a super star. I went to Eloy. I did jumps with Amy, Omar, TJ, Greg G, and Yoko. I got some great video and had a blast. Much better than last weekend. Edited because I forgot to say Thank you to BB. She hooked me up to jump with GG. Thanks Bets!

katiebear21 0 #47 November 11, 2003 Plenty: 11: A few If we're counting Friday and Monday I had a decent weekend. Today's jumps were free (courtesy of the Golden Knights) so I couldn't complain. First jump out of a Foulker (sp?), first Hog Flop, and a few other I'm sure I can't remember. Overall, a great ending to an incredible 2 weeks in Florida!
