Ever feel like a whuffo

[scottbre 0]

It's been over three weeks since I have jumped, and I am starting to forget what it feels like. Damn. Hopefully I will be able to get at least one jump in this weekend, between learning how to pack.
All you people in Florida and California don't know how lucky you are to have reasonably good weather year round.

Yeah, well, having a flat wallet is torture when the weather is great. Like today. Blue skies, little wispy clouds, lite winds, and no cash.
Ugh

Tell ya what. You clear and warm up the weather up here for a couple consecutive weekends, and I will buy you a couple jump tickets.
Deal?

Don't forget Texas, although it is 57 and rainy today. Good thing it is only Tuesday.

It's even more of a tease living in florida, but not being able to jump more than every three weeks because your damn school sucks every friggin penny you have out of your pocket. Oh well, only a year and a half to go until graduation!!

I hear that! I’d give anything to go back to when I was a full time student. Had much less money but it did not seem to matter as much then. Always found ways to have a blast…

Well, the way things are going with the economy, I'll probably end up working for Wal-mart, living on the beach in a cardboard box, still be living off of ramen noodles, and skydiving my ass off on the weekends.

Not after you eat them everyday for a month because you can't afford anything else!

True....but think of all the jumps!!!!! "and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson

Yes, I would have to say that I would continue eating ramen noodles if it meant being able to jump more often. Besides, they're not so bad. You have to mix the flavors up. There's all sorts of ways to make 'em too.

Tell me about shitty weather. Anne & I drove to Quantum on Friday only to have discourging clouds at 2K.... and then the rain started. Went to Archway Sat. only to talk about how SHITTY the weather was and eat some cheesy poos (with a damn mouse humping a bull on the package).. did the Beer thing Sat night and waited until 1p.m. sunday before the first load went up.. I was so excited to get altitude, it didn't even bother me that the winds were high, we had a bad spot and i ended up walking what seemed like miles back to the airport.
But.. it ended up to be allllll good.. I got in 4 great jumps.. ok three great jumps and one crazy jump :-P
Peace, Love & Skydiving...

nothing beats these beautiful korean days. really the skies are always clear! its a test,i think. the skies are beautiful but this country doesnt KNOW about airplanes, never mind jumping from them. i've officailly grown roots. i cant wait till i can cut em. it gets hard to tolerate this menial existence without getting high once in a while. y'know what i mean?!
they say
if god wanted us to fly he'd have given us wings...
i say

Man, I am a fucking connoisseur of ramen noodles. I eat constantly while at work; very-fast metabolism means I don't ever gain weight. Anyway, I have found that the very-best out there is the Nissin Cup Noodles in the Shrimp Salsa and Chicken Salsa flavors. NICE! Quite spicy and nuked in three minutes flat, still in the cup it comes in. The previous version was called Hot Sauce Chicken and Hot Sauce Shrimp. Those had a little hot sauce packet you opened up and dumped in after nuking. This newer Salsa variety is just as spicy and does not have that extra step. Fifty cents a pop.
Still terribly off topic, but other workday munchie favorites include the barbecue and meatballs& mozzerella flavored Hot Pockets. Wonderful stuff.

"Fifty cents a pop."
Man...that must be "Top Shelf" noodles. Most of that stuff is in the 30 some cent range. I didn't know they made stuff for the Ramen Connosiuer..."and I'm not easily impressed...Ooohh look...a blue car!" -Homer Simpson

Oh, I am sure they are less out in a grocery store, but I don't have to go any farther then the 40 foot walk to the S-4 shop to get them.
