Beautiful weather for jumping both Friday and Saturday (before the storm), but I have to wake up on Friday w/ a helium balloon inside my head. I hate summer colds! Oh well, at least it's now , not two weeks from now. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Amazing the difference in flare power between my old ragged out 1300+ jump canopy and the new one! Yes, I stood 'em all up. First jump this morning was one of the best 4ways I've ever done (I don't do a lot of 4 way) with Andy Delk (AZ Vengeance), me and two other women. I don't even know for sure how many points we turned. we went through it at least 4 times though, so we turned at least 16. Then a 6 way and an 8 way, then back home to check on my puppy dogs...

The last jump of the GSL our camera guy took us out on exit so we have some exciting video. Weather rolled in today so I headed home early and even managed to get my kids early. No beer owed (don't ask how many drank). Overall a nice weekend as fun was had by all (even us loosers) and nobody got hurt. Now on to tomorrow's fun....a pool party with 20 of my oldest daughter's cheerleading squad. I can promise someone will owe me beer after that! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkymonkeyONE 4 #18 July 22, 2002 2:10:1 or with the "alternate" first number: 4:10:1 The alternate first number and the last number came from my last AFF jump Saturday afternoon. You see, I was main-side on a jump (with video) and neglected to put a radio on this Cat A (old level I) jumper. My reserve side (technically equally at fault) realized the mistake just as the plane pulled the front wheel off the ground on takeoff. Needless to say, we rode all the way up, then all the way down without jumping. We absolutely will not jump primary students without a radio, so I sucked it up and gave up four jump tickets (thus the first number) for the plane ride. That was the first time ever as an instructor (for well over a decade) that I missed an equipment gig, so of course I also bought a case of beer. Best to set a good example and take blame when it's a clear fuck up. Besides that, it was a pretty nice weekend, but opressively hot. We had the POPS nationals at Raeford this weekend. No heat casualties that I saw, but DAMN, it was hot.
