jceman 1 #1 May 31, 2003 1 DZ closed, hence:0:0 Got to JAX ExtremeSports after rushing back up from Flagler Beach and found a sign on the door -- "We Are Closed -- Jacksonville ExtremeSports". Called the DZO and he confirmed that it was not a temporary situation. We are majorly bummed. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 May 31, 2003 Very unfortunate, Jack. I made two yesterday and it's a wash today, so so far it's 0:2:0. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 May 31, 2003 Woohoo !! Finally got to jump after a month off. Did one hop n pop and one from alti (well as much as you can get in hot weather from a C206 - 150 fpm climb anyone? ). Landing area is full of LONG grass so I kinda misjudged where to put my feet down and almost tumbled, but kept myself vertical . Could have done more than 2, but got Wiggaz next weekend, and was getting a little TOO red from the sun ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #4 May 31, 2003 Sorry to hear that the dz closed, Jack, I know it must have been great that it was so convenient for you. But, I will be happy to see you and Lynn around Deland every once in awhile again. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only been 15 days since my surgery. Doc says i'm grounded til middle/end of July. But i'm stupidly thinking of doing a H&P on tuesday.... ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i'm stupidly thinking of doing a H&P on tuesday.... Also, I remember hearing that you were in the shop for repairs, but I never did catch on to what the repairs were? So far I'm looking at a big fat 0:0:0 I spent 3 hours at the DZ this morning hoping to get a jump in, but mother nature and her clouds prevented me from getting up. And now I'm stuck at work (today is our deadline for releasing version 2.0 of our network management product, but it's looking good in terms of not having to be here all day). So once the thundershowers pass (they're just starting), I may be able to hit the DZ for a sunset jump (assuming enough people are around for a load) and I should be free to jump all day tomorrow just as long as mother nature cooperates. PS: I've jumped at least once every weekend for the last 18 weekends. But this streak is in jeapardy of ending if I can jump tonight or tomorrow.

wmw999 2,452 #14 May 31, 2003 Ohhhhh Sunnyone -- 15 days is not long enough, even for someone like me. Like me? You ask? Well, I made my first post-baby jump 5 weeks after a C-section. Nothing fell out, but I'm glad I didn't do it earlier. Remember, there is more time to jump if you don't fuck yourself up. Also, you don't want to have to go back to Joe's autobody and surgery for more repairs, right?Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure did make me laugh. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
