jamespruden 0 #1 January 31, 2007 Winter sucks in the UK, my local dz's been shut for the last month so i haven't been able to jump much. On the plus side i've saved enough to buy my first rig, jumpsuit and plane tickets out to cali in a month. Sweet! I hope everyone else is having just a good a winter!

MagicGuy 0 #4 January 31, 2007 I was really bummed out about the Winter starting in about November. I figured everything was going to be shut down and I wouldn't be able to feed my fix until Spring rolled around. Well, I've been jumping (almost) every weekend at CPI in Connecticut. Not making as many jumps as I would like to, but with the weather and the short days, I can't complain. Also went to Lake Wales for 5 days and did a bunch of jumps (including my 100th). My home DZ even opened up on a few ridiculously warm weekends to fly some Cessna loads. Winter time has it's benefits. I, too, have managed to save some money so when Spring rolls around, I can make a whole bunch of jumps. Also put together a second rig and got a trailer for this coming season. Oh and lots of tunnel time!! Still can't wait for the warm weather, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yossarian 0 #6 January 31, 2007 one tends to find ones knackers swinging between ones legs, and in chillier climes they tend to shrink to the size of garden peas and can be found somewhere in the lung area Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
