Mmm... good weekend for one on which I had not planned to skydive at all until the last minute! First Twin Otter jumps(Skydive Illinois was a blast! You people rock!), first kiss pass (thanks Sunshine ;)), and first tube dive (woohoo for Val's 200th). If only the wind hadn't picked up today... I feel great regardless... :)M

First 2 way on first jump (10th total) and first tracking dive and first 2 way exit while grabbing onto someone's chest strap if that counts hehe. Did tracking dives both jumps. Learned a lot. Flew into burble of other jumper and got to see the affects and also controlled my fall rate to get back to him when he got above me heheh. =) Did some turns and stuff too. You could say it wasn't *quite* tracking the whole time heheheheh "watch out here i come!" hehe. Fun fun fun!

Five really fun ten ways at Otay - including a four pointer. Four HARD points too - a three way base with two wedges and a pod; broke into two wedges and a diamond, one wedge rotated 180, other wedge docked to make a diamond with tails, diamond docked to make triple diamonds; broke that to two 2way cats faced off with pods on the ends (bowtie); broke that to build a tabletopped BFR. A kick ass skydive! :)pull & flare,

Can I just say something about weather forecasts? Worthless! I'm completely convinced that they just make those things up. If I'd known is was going to be such a beautiful day, I wouldn't have drunk so much, slept so late, and I could have gotten more jumps in today. Idiots. If they don't know what the weather is going to do, they should just say so! I'll know better next time.

I hear ya, I just made it out to the dz. woke up at 11:30 w/ a headache, drove an hour, and managed to fit in three today. It was supposed to be clouds and rain, but instead it was clear and hot!

Ya i am always up to help out a fellow jumper. Oh and i did enjoy having the the cashier ask for my ID, its kinda like a right of passage. I don't know.
Plus i make it a habit if i am there on Sunday to go to McDonalds and get 20 .39 cent cheeseburgers and let people have at it. I try to make myself usefull when i am not jumping or asking questions.

Made my 200th jump on Saturday. Went for (and got) my FF1 on my 200th!! :)Lurked tandem for first time (docked on TM, shook passenger's hand) - on the ground I asked the tandem passenger about it, he was fixated on the ground the whole time, hadn't seen me at all and thought it was the TM shaking his hand!!!! :D
Damn fine weekend!!!!
