wildblue 7 #3 September 18, 2001 Ann,I was thinking the same thing. Actually, just this morning I sent an email to a couple friends asking if they wanted to get together at the DZ this weekend... have a cookout or something.I don't know how bad this is affecting some of the TMs/JMs/vidiots/etc out there money wise, but they're at the very least a little bummed out. Having a couple friends show up to shoot the shit, cookout, have a few beers, tell stories, whatever... might help a little. If nothing else, just to say "Hey, we don't just use you for instruction, videoing our awesome skydives, packing for us... you're a friend too"I know I'd be a little more than bummed if I missed out on a good week or two of near perfect weather.Then, I saw these two guys swoopin across the pond, and I was like 'weeeeeee!!!!'
