Unlogged jumps

Ever plan on going to boogies or getting on bigger way jumps with people who dont know you?



I can only remember being asked about a log book 4 times. Two of those were at Perris.

I have a log book.... I have not used it in years. My Neptune keeps track of my jumps and I keep a log in XL of my work jumps for pay issues.

I don't log jumps, never had a reason to, not looking to be an instructor or anything just have fun, most of what I did log were jumps with a special meaning to them, mostly personal meanings for some reason. Just never made a habit of logging them mostly out of procrastination.

Nope, got burned out on bigways long ago, and the people that I jump with are good people. I was just invited to participate on a bigway and a possible record and I really doubt I will attend.

I was one of those lazy loggers and now I'm kinda screwed if I want to get any kind of instructional rating. I could kick myself in the ass for not logging like I was supposed to. It was a lesson learned. There are a lot of lazy loggers out there and I believe I remember reading that Jan Meyer used to be a lazy logger as well, but things are different these days and wish I just would have logged like I was supposed to.

Recent news prompted me to open an old log book from 2000. In that book are several entries signed off by a character named Orly King.

Godspeed, Orly. Thanks for showing me the path.
