lippy 918 #1 January 23, 2003 Well, I'm back from Eloy. All in all it was a good trip, there were a few things could've made it better, but let's not dwell on that. I got to meet: Bbarnhouse, Snowbird, FreeflyHol, Wingnut and DZdiva. All very cool people. Unfortunately, I didn't jump with any of them, but it was still cool to meet 'em. Some other highlights were first mal, finally getting in an Otter, a couple of skydives where we just started cranking mad points, and a couple of real fun big(14-20ish) ways. And now I'm back, where it was -47*C with the wind-chill last night, I have a nasty cold and I gotta go to work tomorrow. Dah well, all good things come to an end, and I'll be back next year for sure.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #2 January 23, 2003 well, i don't know what -47* C is, but if it has a negitive, that means it has to be fucking cold as fuck. here, it's going to be like -2 or -3 in the morning, so i already have a 2 hour delay from school. that sucks that you feel like shit though, hope you start to feel better before you have to go to work later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #3 January 23, 2003 Just as a reference, -40C is the same as -40F. The two scales happen to cross at that number. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #6 January 23, 2003 Now zat iz like Mazer Rushia -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird 0 #12 January 23, 2003 So the virus got you too? It was so kind of the Alaskan's to share that bug with everyone. I think I'll stop whining about our -8*C. -47*C is just wrong! If we don't cross paths before then, I'll see you there next year! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

blewaway5 0 #13 January 23, 2003 ok, if I EVER end up in a place where I've got to worry about C and F degrees meeting up like that at -40, please smack me really hard an make me move closer to the equator. Seriously, that kind of cold sounds like some sort of crime against humanity. Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
