sunnydee123 0 #1 November 23, 2004 Just wondering if anyone is as lcuky as me to have Friday and THE ENTIRE weekend off to play?

The weather isn't the best today - but Friday should be good and we are going to put together somekind of thanksgiving dinner on Friday night. You guys may all be sick of turkey but I haven't had mine yet!! The skyvan is here and the otter. Jono & Daniel are ready to go - now we just need nice blue skies. I'll have a freefly organizer here for the weekend and I'm not sure if Drew was going to sneak back this way early or not. I know he had a prior committment but thought that he might be able to slip away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Widgeon 0 #7 November 26, 2004 Many thanks to all at Skydive Sebastian for an experience I will never forget!!! My 100th jump was awesome! The view of the coast was the very best I've ever seen. I'll be back down there for sure very soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sunnydee123 0 #8 November 26, 2004 I'm coming out Saturday and also called the masses and got a buttload of people coming Sunday. Warm them engines up Johnno - we're coming to play! Think Saturday I am hopping and popping, seeing if I could consider playing in the swoop thing next weekend. But not holding my breath - still LOTS to learn See everyone soon...off to battle the shopping mall maddness once again, now that I am filled with energy (turkey and sweet potatoes) Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bendywendy 0 #9 November 26, 2004 I'm so glad it cleared up and you finally got to do that 100th! Too bad you weren't here today. Jumps are going off, the weather is great and people are having a great time. The drop shop opened its doors for a 25% off liquidation sale today. Stay tuned they'll do it again - there is still stuff to sell. Turkey dinner is tonight for us. You can never have too many thanksgiving dinners.... i guess. Jello shots are tomorrow night. Sorry, not enough people for the night jumps tonight - try next month!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bendywendy 0 #10 November 27, 2004 DENISE - WHERE ARE YOU?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sunnydee123 0 #11 November 27, 2004 Family drama, AGAIN....and clouds most of the day which didn't make me too awefully disappointed, plus a bit of wind and Saturday was to be Hop and Pops only....but no matter what - I WILL BE THERE BRIGHT AND EARLY and ALL DAMN DAY Sunday and now I have extra cash ! Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bendywendy 0 #12 November 29, 2004 Nice new icon, Denise. A little water action at the Keys!!! Good to see you and Angela & Rory and the BIG JAP all out this weekend. Maybe now that I'm jumping again and the arm appears to be holding up ok - we can manage to get on a jump or two together. I'm learning to compensate for my new built in right turn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkydiveNFlorida 0 #13 November 29, 2004 Had a blast on Sunday! We'd have stayed later but had dinner obligations. I am hoping to make it out by Friday evening so that i'm there bright and early Saturday. Rory will likely be there Friday. Like Denise, i'm considering entering the comp on Saturday. Depends on the winds and the fees for me, and if I can get a couple of jumps in advance. I haven't had a chance to swoop the noodles at all, but I saw Dee hitting them this weekend (rock on babe!). See you guys next weekend, hopefully with my new (but incomplete) rig. -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bendywendy 0 #14 November 29, 2004 Excellent - a few more weeks of jumping on my arm and I may be able to put the velo back on and then we can all enter - I guess I could jump the C2 anyways.... no..maybe not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sunnydee123 0 #15 November 30, 2004 I didn't get enough practice to think about entering and I don't do good under pressure so right now, I'm guessing I'll just sit back, do my best to look cute, watch and listen intently to all the cool swooper boys. I WILL however be something to be reckoned with come next year Damn - next year could be all sorts of girl power in the FLCPA. Watch out boys! This should be cross posted to the swoop area Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

SOO much to learn and LOTS of time to learn it. This is a great opportunity for newer newbie swooper wanna-bes (like me) to really sit around, watch and listen. You'd be amazed at what you can learn from these guys. Seriously.....But Angelica chica - if you feel up to it, go for it girl. I just think I want some more quality practice time - feeling comfy with my set up area, hitting that first gate AND a few noodles. Ah heck...who knows Dreams become reality, one choice at a time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkydiveNFlorida 0 #18 November 30, 2004 I hear ya, babe, you go with what your comfortable with for sure. I am still considering entering. If I can get some practice noodle swoops in and feel comfy i'll probably go for it. I am hoping for no wind or a light crosswind, I don't want to lose speed;) We'll see, i'll probably be out Friday by 3pm-ish, hopefully I can get a few in before sunset and wake early enough to get some more before comp. -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
