Deuce 1 #26 January 20, 2003 NO jumps, first time my 6 year old daughter sung in the choir (her twin was surprisingly supportive) ARGH! That means my f*cking rig has more jumps than me this weekend! I got Sangiro in my pocket, he's gonna want a Wings rig with the low-profile pullout handle for sure, now. I'm glad my buds are jumping in the sun, the weather has been poopy up here in Norcal, inland. I want a report from the Monkeys in Florida! Details!

skymama 37 #29 January 20, 2003 QuoteI want a report from the Monkeys in Florida! Details! They're not going home until tomorrow, so they're not online very much yet. When I left today around noon, Katie was still 6 jumps shy of her 100th (high winds slowed down her jumping), Mouth was happily ordering a new rig, and Chuck was fat and happy after eating a meatball sandwich. There was some drinking like Vikings done, and I got my Skymonkey hat!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

Kris 0 #32 January 20, 2003 0:5:2 Night Jumps Baybeee! I finally got that requirement out of the way on Saturday night! Absolutely amazing! The view and the feeling were incredible with OKC lit up in the distance with the moon above it. How did I land? Swooped and stuck it! I had been putting that one off for a couple of years but big thanks to Marcus Thornton for finally kicking my ass and throwing me on the airplane. I didn't kick...much. Beer owed for my nocturnal jumping and for my D license that I just faxed off for. I've had all the other requirements for ages except for the night. Oh, and I'm also officially an Instructor now. WooHoo! Kris Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casch 0 #33 January 20, 2003 3 (consecutive days at the dz):6:4 Weekend Summary Showed up at Kapowsin Friday afternoon to take care of my recurrency jump (first jump in 2 months). That went well so I jumped on the Otter for the sunset load, ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL sunset. Everyone was down jackin off...err everyone was at JackOff to Perris so there were only 6 of us on the Otter load. Nice and roomy Saturday I ask a 4-way if they would mind me lurking them, just so I could have something to reference off of and work on my fallrate etc. Well I end up getting worked into the jump and 2 more people join in, so my first RW ended up being a 7-way. FREAKIN' AWESOME! I need to work on my fallrate though because I drop like a rock. We turned 2 points before I couldn't float with the group and they had me pull in place almost in the center of the circle and I watched them fall around me which was the coolest feeling ever! BoobieCootie (Wlie) showed up and we did a 3-way with Jodie (not a DZ.com'er) but Jodie couldn't keep up with my fat ass and then I got ditched by Wlie because he flew back up to Jodie and I couldn't slow down. Then Wlie had severe linetwists/spinning mal and had to cutaway...then had minor linetwists on his reserve . The free-bag has yet to be found. Next jump Wlie rented gear and we did a 2-way working on fallrate, which in turn improved my tracking drastically (but it's still crap). That night I got to watch night jumps which was pretty cool. Watching someone's video it looked like he was a plane landing on a runway at night, very cool. Beer-thirty came along and about 10 of us hung out at the bar for 3 hours. Whohoo! I'm 18 and they never asked for ID. I sat in the bar with everyone else downing beers and eating pizza. I know most of you have done that once or twice before you were 21 but it was my BEER time...Next morning I wake up and Jessie's (DZO) got freshly baked cinnimon rolls for the people that stayed over night. Now how many DZ's out there do that for they're overnight guests? This turned out to be a great weekend, now I'll just have to top it next weekend Oh yeah, we had at least 5 DZ.com'ers there on saturday.

wildblue 7 #42 January 20, 2003 No jumps, but a really cool weekend in Chicago Next weekend should be better - have a 'floating holiday' to use now, so a long weekend someplace warm sounds like a good idea right about now! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pds 0 #44 January 20, 2003 2:5:1 2 risers changed to 'new' canopy. (thanks, mujie). 5 wonderful jumps with 5 wonderfully uneventful landings, 3 in peas. 1st time i ever turned 35. found keith, lost keith, found keith, lost kieth found wingnut...... story at 11jump #200 started out as a 3 way BELLY jump! and just to give you an idea of the crowd at eloy sunday, a 3way belly dive was LAST out of the plane! Imagine that. It quickly turned into a 3 way round head down. then we did a sunset load clear and pull at altitude. exquisite, as usual. highly recommended any time you are in eloy. WEAR GLOVES. got righteously pied by 2 hot chicks, no names, but they initials are m.a.n.d.y. and k.r.i.s.t.y., who then proceeded to alter my mindset and kept me there until it was tomorrow. things could be worse namaste, motherfucker.

happythoughts 0 #45 January 20, 2003 Standing by the fire Saturday morning and 2 strange micro-women came up and groped me. (I wasn't offended, I'm used to women treating me like a piece of meat. ) It was too darn cold on Saturday. Jumped with Boxman, Mouth, Skymonkey One, KatieBear. Fun stuff. I did 3 jumps by 2pm and then called it a day. The wind got too bumpy. Don't mind breezy, but the bumpy part was getting scary. When it comes to cooking, Mouth is The Woman. Thanks for the tasty dinner. (Remember I asked you to PM me the recipe.) After one of Mouth's "woo-ooh"s, Tampa Doppler radar is now on the blink. My roommate said Skymama was sneaking up on him in the dark and scaring him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
