rhuurrr 0 #1 April 20, 2001 Went out and did FJC with Freak last Saturday. After the 6 hours, met my JM's (Pat and Lee), got geared up and headed out to the King Air. whoa--talk about butterflies, I was more nervous than I thought I'd be!!! At about 10,000 Pat taps me on the shoulder and tells me that they just got a call, winds at 19mph, sorry, no students..:( So out goes everyone but my girlfriend, me, one other guy and two of the JM's. Suddenly I was soooo bummed out that I didn't get to go. Watching everyone else jump out while we strapped back in really sucked. Almost as much as riding down.So here we are, a rainy Northern California Friday, forcasts of partly-cloudy to clear for Sunday, and those damn butterflies fluttering about in my stomach again!!!Gotta get this damn level one overwith already!!!!!Blue Skies (PLEASE!),Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PalmettoTiger 1 #5 April 21, 2001 Yeah, I'm sitting out a beautiful day here in SC. It's my sister's birthday, she's had a terrible week, and it would be pretty lame to bolt to the DZ on her birthday. So we're taking here canoeing, cooking her a beeeeeg dinner, and taking her to an improv comedy festival tonight.Rhuurrr, looks like you and I are doing "Relative Work" today (as my rigger refers to it). Here's hoping you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!Blues, squares,PTiger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #6 April 21, 2001 dang tiger...sounds like you have a pretty sweet day anyway! (aside from skydiving at least). If I wasn't skydiving, (which I'm not yet), I wouldn't mind some canoeing, a "beeeeg" dinner, and a comedy show. Will you do this shit for me when I have my b-day??laterzNEW AND IMPROVED!!!http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallnAngel 0 #7 April 24, 2001 QuoteWe're jumping out at Byron, that place rocks!!!Yeah, I've heard some really good things about Byron!! In fact, hubby & I drove out one day a few weeks ago on our lunch hour to check it out...turns out it's only about 15-20 minutes from work (in Livermore). Can you say looonngg Friday lunches?! Seemed like a nice place to jump, so maybe I'll see you out there soon!Good luck with your jumping!Blues,Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
