ernokaikkonen 0 #1 October 21, 2002 I went to a (very small)LAN-party and played a football-manager game for the whole weekend to feed the geek inside me. I decided I don't like him. My only defense is that a substantial amount of beer was consumed at the party. Did you guys do something skydiving related? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #3 October 21, 2002 I went looking for a new house, wandered around some hills, and took the wee man to visit his grandparents. The closest I got to skydiving was watching videos.. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

bluefingers 0 #4 October 21, 2002 I gave it horns this weekend! As a result, I could do with another 3 days sleep. Friday night partied till dawn with whuffo friends, then to someone's house for coffee and to talk shit, then brunch, then I couldn't remember where my car was, eventually found it, then my cell was in someone else's car. By the time I found all my belongings it was 3 in the afternoon. A quick catnap, then I had to make salads. Went up to our club for wild pig on the spit. No skydiving, but lots of drinking, eating and being merry. Watched our team's vid from Nationals - cool! A few hours sleep on sat night then we descended en masse on this tiny coffee shop - 16 hungry skydivers demanding coffee and breakfast - that poor waitress! Got home at lunchtime yesterday, had a hot bath and went straight to bed - only got up when the pizza delivery guy arrived at my gate Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helicam 0 #5 October 21, 2002 I am impressed!! Spent most of Saturday editing tandem videos.....the expressions alone are worth it!!Saturday night was dinner with them whuffo people, funky little Jamaican style bar.....too much fermented beverage consumed, they were shocked that I paid my respects to the beer before I consumed it!! I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauril 0 #6 October 21, 2002 I did 7 jumps, once from 4000 metres, but you, as a finn, know that there's friggin' cold up there by this time of year, so we jumped mostly from 1000 metres, learning to swoop with my sabre, did 90 & 180 deg. carve's, that's fun !

Guest #7 October 21, 2002 Cleaned bathroom, vacuumed lots of cat hair from bedroom floor. In the afternoon, a 256MB SDRAM showed up in the mail (I had been waiting since a new motherboard arrived). Slapped the machine together, and wasted a lot of time playing a Half-Life mod called "USS Darkstar". Burned some CD-Rs, drank some excellent brew (Deschutes Brewing of Oregon makes a fine Stout called Obsidian)."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

skybytch 273 #8 October 21, 2002 QuoteDid you guys do something skydiving related? Three jumps and one hell of a party Saturday. Recovery all day Sunday. If only I didn't have to go to work today.

wildblue 7 #14 October 21, 2002 I learned to count change! Go ahead, tell me how much you need, like for a toll or something - and I will tell you what coins I could hand you, that would add up to that amount. Actually, it was a very educational weekend! I learned about coal mining, the space station, couting change, greek culture, and what a 'half-pounder' is. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrose7 0 #18 October 21, 2002 Saturday weather was a wash, so I went to a bar with old friends on saturday night and was dancing quite a bit. That was a lot of fun. Then I jumped all day sunday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. MaryRose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #19 October 21, 2002 This weekend rocked. Not so many skydives, but several milestones for locals: New GK, Scott Janise, made his 1000th jump and was sumarilly pied, then bodyslammed by a chick. DZ packaho, Bobby Pritchard, made his 500th. It was a very nice 2-point 17-way with video. The band Bad Monkey played in the bar on Saturday night; they rocked as usual. Nig-noggery was in FULL effect all weekend.

Skitzo 0 #24 October 21, 2002 This weekend was grrrrreaaaat! I drove a little over 2 hours to get to Skydive America. Man, I LOVE that place! The people, the plane, the view, its ALL good! I Got 3 coached sit jumps. (I got a killer backslide) And I finally got to meet Scotty & Tami Carbone. Holy crap, they are a hoot!Thanks to the two of them I got to get into a couple big ways. The most successful was a 4 point 14 way. Thanks so much, I just love you guys!- "How do you keep your feet on the ground when you know you were born to fly?"

AggieDave 6 #25 October 21, 2002 Dude, that's cool. I accidently hit 224mph on a solo HD FF dive a couple weeks ago in my big baggy FF suit. I want to go out in jeans and a t-shirt and really try to hit some speed to see what I can do. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
