Brian425 0 #1 November 10, 2003 I met John, Bubbles and Mike this weekend. I had a great time. I was up at the Ranch bringing the wind (no rain this time) on Saturday. We were told early that there would be no student jumps. Feeling a little bummed out, we watched the tandems fly. We had a few laughs. Then we went over where the cool people (who have there A or above) hang out. The bonfire was going early and we started to have a few beers at around noon. I had a blast. Skydivers grounded by wind seem to have a lot of energy to let out and it must come out somehow. The beer flowed, the people were good and it was worth the trip up. Bubbles taught us some cavers chemistry with carbide and water. She was a blast to hang out with and seems to have an affinity for fire. John was next to me on my hop and pop. He gave me a few words of advice and made me feel relaxed in the plane. Thanks John. I met Mike for a couple of minutes today by the bonfire and he was very nice. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome! I'll be back next week to work on my exits and try to finish up my last two coach jumps.

Brian425 0 #3 November 10, 2003 Of course we put it in the fire. I just thought that was a given. See, I should have paid attention in chemistry class. Look around for shops that have supplies for cavers. They will have carbide. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.
