GogglesnTeeth 6 #1 February 20, 2018 HI all, Haven't posted here in a very long while. Skydiving has taken more than a bit of a "back seat" to family the past decade+. Finally leaving Florida and headed to Ohio! (Cleveland/Akron area.) Why... not everyone loves Florida! (among other reasons...) Anyway, always looking to meet new locals and local DZ's to call "home." PM me if you are in the Cleveland/Akron area or just to give me grief about leaving Florida. See you on my next adventure!!!

BillyVance 34 #2 February 20, 2018 Good choice to leave Florida. Your IQ will jump 20%. Not so sure you'd like winters in the Cleveland/Akron area though but good luck.

BIGUN 1,424 #3 February 20, 2018 I lived in Strongsville for awhile (just south of Cleveland) Lake effect snows made the city 2nd in the nation in annual snowfall (Buffalo first). My first and only winter... between November and February I saw the sun for a day and a half. I asked one of my colleagues, "What in the fuck do you do to keep from being depressed all winter - have a pipeline of chocolate you can tap off or sumpin?!?!?!?!" We go to bars and drink and watch sports. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to drinking, but I am opposed to "watching" sports. On the flip side. I love Florida Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed that was what I was after go as many places I could and experience as many people as I could. I am avoiding DZ's at this point ... that helps remove the temptation to do stupid shit.

GnT I never gave anyone any shit about leaving Fla. There are way too many people there as it is. When I lived in DeLand, if any one asked directions to any where I would tell them to go to I-95 and go north. And keep going. Have a grand adventure.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
