My brother and I will be up on Saturday afternoon and will stay through sunday evening.

I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid!

Alan and I plan on being there...at least on Saturday. I would assume the usual suspects. They sent us a card in the mail a couple of weeks ago.

There will also be a POPS record attempt for the state of Oklahoma. It is only a 9 way so there isnt any reason we cant do better than that.. Hope to see you there.

The 9-way Pops record has been topped many times at OSC. Just never officially. I'm in serious denial anyway.

When will it be? If not working, I'd like to stop by. I'd love to be on the pops record.

I'll be there on Saturday to make my cherry-popper. Friend is coming along with his g/f. Me and him are for sure, but she'll probably take some persuading.

Anybody got a idea on the long range forecast for the boogie?

Seeing as how OK weather doesn't seem that much different than KS weather, I'll take a stab at the forecast.
There is a chance of cloudy clear skies with winds 0-35. Tornadoes, thunderstorms and mild conditions are a possibility between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM. However, seeing as this is a forecast seven days ahead, I could be wrong, maybe.
I am not a trained meterologist and not affiliated with any weather service or broadcast station. I did however, stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

It's a gift, I don't try to explain it.

Sounds good to me. Always wanted to jump in a tornado.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Steve, would be great if you can make it! Spanky said he may come by as well - we need at least ten POPS people, would be even nicer to have 13! - Kevin

And so how did it go??

Unfortunately, it was not successful. We planned a 12-way which built to 9. There was a great disparity in the experience level on the load, several of the jumpers had never been on anything bigger than an 8-way and most all of us were rusty. All said and done, we still had a good time and enjoyed the jump. I hope the younger jumpers look at it as a learning experience and that we have better luck next time.

Every jump is a good one~~

I learn something everytime I make one. How can you not? It's part of the reason I love skydiving.
Did Spanky make it??

I did not see him. But I could have missed him as I didn't have much down time.

"Younger" is a relative term when you're on a POPS load. LOL

I'd think it's safe to say I was the least experienced on the jump (if not the youngest at age 43?). To me, just being a part of the 9-way was awesome! Judy is right, I learned a LOT and had a blast doing it! You'll never jump with a nicer bunch of people - thousands of jumps and years and years of experience between them and not a "sky-god" in the lot. Thanks Judy and everyone else who allowed me to be a part of the record attempt. Now I have a year to practice before we shatter the record in '07!

Yes, he rolled in late Sat afternoon. Wouldn't be a proper boogie without Spanky!

Damn...now I really feel old Of course, nobody's as old as Shermier! Hopefully, I'll get some more air time between now and then as well. Just getting in the air was great.

As I said...if we had fun, it was a great skydive.

And as Spanky rolled in late Sat. afternoon, that would explain why I didn't see him. Alan and I left for the house at 5:00 pm. Sucks to have to work on Sunday.
