GLIDEANGLE 1 #26 February 25, 2013 Quote Quote (and I've now jinxed it). I had to open my mouth. It was freezing cold and then wind and clouds came out of nowhere. By 10:30 I started feeling ill and decided to head home. Got home and the wife was also feeling sick so spent most of the weekend in bed. Eh, what can you do? We'll see what happens next weekend. If you are referring to 23 Feb 2013 at Skydive Dallas... you missed out! I was there. Yes, the weather was awful at ~1030... cold & low clouds. I retreated to my trailer for lunch and a hot cup of tea. Shortly after noon, the sky cleared, the sun warmed us up, and the wind was almost absent. We jumped like crazy until dark!You can't jump if you aren't at the DZ! Of course, jumping the wife is a perfectly reasonable alternative. The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

And yes, I was looking over my shoulder thinking, maybe I should turn around and go back. But I did get on that first load, zipping up 13,500 :)Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahirob 0 #28 March 7, 2013 I honestly feel your pain. I live in the NE and I've been waiting patiently to begin my jumps. This weekend it is supposed to be in the 60's. I contacted my local DZ to see if they will be opening up/holding AFF lessons this weekend. I really hope they get back to me and the answer is yes. Can't wait. Good luck!
