Sweet! My friend Angie, new jumper but hella cool, and I are trying to get the guys to take the day off work so we can get there Wednesday afternoon, but if the won't, we hit the prairie that night. Have a shade tent with screens for this year, don't know yet if we want to use it on the line for packing, or as part of camp... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

amen! 6 to 8 inches is good, and somewhere from one to two inches in diameter... But I also have to agree with the ealier comment about storeboughts, and variety... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

Fear instead the unlived life.

Doc is going to be headed through NorCal Tuesday I think. Take care of him. He is a sweet heart and a great guy. Pretty talented jumper too! I said nothing but good of your dz... Let's hope the winds stay low! See you guys for the boogie this fall I hope! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

Really, those that know me will varify that I really am not exagerating the whole nerd thing... Murphy is gonna jump at last! Angie saying, "You got me here at what time to wait how long...Too jump out of an airplane!@!? Last minute reminders before we load. Ain't she hot in pink? It's over, that's it, no more? Hmmmm, how do I get the goverenment to pay for me to jump more? And the sun sets on another great weekend at WestPlanes Skydiving.... (This was my first x-country jump, and first jump I organized for jump 99 last Saturday by the way, at about nine thou...Cool, huh?) God, thank you for this sport and these people! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

WooHoo more pics! OK, so we all know the beer light was on here! Go Aaron and Doc lol, Rogers loves that the canopy is soooo bright! Props to you superfly! One of your last landings here for too long, Doc Murphy's getting ready to load! Wilson, this just looked cool! I'll get the anonymous videographer to clean it up for you! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

lol, you think that was enthusiasm?! God you should have been there... Friday night I dropped the door on the plane, (bad girl) and I think I got a total of eight hours, if I am lucky sleep all weekend. I am still high. There is just something about getting shit done! And sharing the sport with two close friends for the first time? AWESOME! Kris, when you coming over? (I held a head down, and hit 180mph!) You going to LP? What is it, like 30 sleeps till than? hehehe Angie is signing up here tonight, going to use Angie22 until we find her a real name, check the pics of the weekend! The JessWay, missing Montana in the pic, he was slow to the plane. We have JenDoll, Redshoes, Doc, Wilson, the missing Montana, and ME! Pic 2 is the bluegrass band that came over today! They rocked! See, I told you I was a nerd, can you see the little blue headdowner on the toe? That is the kidlet, who by the way, can't wait for tunnel time in Denver! Nice arch! HeHe, Angie and I after her jump! She is hooked! Taking the class in three weeks! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

I am a huge nerd and I know it! I can't help it, all I can do is be true to who I am, and enjoy life! On that note, this weekend was almost perfect... I knew I was going to get my hundredth jump, so I scheduled a pedicure, to have the number 100 painted on one toe, and a little headdowner painted on the other! (See, I told you I was a nerd.) Thursday I get home to an email calling for Friday evening jumps, and I am all over it! I reschedule my nail appt, go to work at 5am on Friday, get off at noon, go box, go to the salon, get my toes done, pick up my daughter, and am wheels up for that 100th jump by six pm! (And Little Doobie's graduation jump, and his birthday!)With six jumpers onboard a caravan, we climbed fast! The jump was cool, I messed it up of course, but it was fun as hell! The whole mood of the evening was incredable. We land, we pack, we load again, this time with 14 on board... Climb took longer, but still cool. I did a solo to work on head down, and um, well I hit 180mph folks! I couldn't hold the thing for more than a few secounds at a time, but I was holding a heading, more or less... we land, we pack, and we load for a third, sunset, load. I did solo sit, 170 mph, and it was Redshoes 100th jump! (And a certain tandem masters first fun jump in Davenport!) We all sat at the bar, told stories, shared a shoot on the shootski, and got pied! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get home shower off the whipped cream residue, (that stuff really does stink when dry), get up at 4 am Sat to go do it all over again! We all ate breakfast, oh wait, that's right, I almost forgot, on the way to the dz, about two miles away as a matter of fact, I got a flat tire! Good lord, I didn't think that was a good omen! Get to the dz, cook breakfast, jump, cook lunch, jump, only this one, a good friend Murphy did his first jump as a tandem and is now trying to find a way to pay for his new addiction! Cindy got to altitude for the first and second times... I jump again, we party all night, and do it all again today. Oh, there was a bluegrass festival across the street, so we went over there to hear them jam too... One of the bands came over this morning to jam for us! Talk about sweet! My friend, Angie came out for her first skydive, as a tandem, and is also in love, and will be taking the first jump course in the next few weeks! WooHoo!!!!!!!!! Hiedi got her 'A' licence today as well! (And a pie) Kara got back in the sky, and her sweetie did a tandem too! Like I said, almost the perfect weekend. Unfortunatly, a few freinds are leaving us. Redshoes will be gone for the AF learning new skills for a few weeks, WDiverez is gone also for the next couple of months, and uncle sam has decided to reassign Doc to a new state! Sad! :(We were also missing a couple of friends from the weekend; RH for a bit, Heron for schooling, and Tugboat like we always do this time of year... Scott was sick, hope you are better sweetie, Todack to sore muscles. Wish you guys could have been here, (we would have made that forth load Friday night)! Again, for those who have not known the shere joy of exiting an aircraft just 'cause the door is open, (and you have a parachute) I am sorry, get your but up and do it! For those that couldn't jump this weekend, I send many supportive thoughts your way, (you must have been very ill, and at least suffering withdrawls!) lol, help me! we need a name for Angie! Blue Skies to all, and lets start thinking of LP! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

hehehehheehehehehhehehehehehhe yes, I am a bit manichal, (sp) right now... read the posted thread. I got 8 jumps, including my 100th! 12 beers, and I still won't confirm or deny anything else... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

Hey ya Sean! Mostly smaller, and low key for now. I cook for the drop zone every weekend, and I do some dinners. I also have a few people who have had come over and get the meal all but finished before they have a date over, so they look like they can cook. I don't want to bite off too big a chunk right now... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

I am finally going to legitamitize my whole catering thing as a bussiness, but I need a name! Any suggestions? Jess ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

Woo Hoo, I am single too! lol, really, the guys in this town seem to have a problem with chicks who hang out at the drop zone with a bunch of guys every weekend. Can't figure out why they get mad when we jump all day and drink beer together at night *straching head*... [mad ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

http://www.myspace.com/smilie128 hehehehe, can I just say, I will do jump 100 this weekend! Woo hooooooooooooooo ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

no goof....When is the boogy ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

When is Lost Praire? ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

OK OK, so I know it is small, but we do have a larger aircraft, and a great group of jumpers. So, it you are going to be anywhere near the Spokane area for Memorial weekend, you should come out and jump with us! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

lol, aww Kris, just ignore the mean boys! If nothing else, we'll take them up in the plane, and fall faster than they can! As for being treated like one of the guys, I do appreciate it, conversations are more inteletual, the points of view are varied, and the humor is great. When I feel like being all girlie, I can do that too... I think as women, we do have the best of both worlds. Men just need to realize that we do have brains, we do care what they think, and dirty jokes don't always offend most of us! I also have to through out there that I have discouvered I prefer to hand out with other ladies who jump and climb, as opposed to the little girls too scarded to get a little sweaty! ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.

If you had posted in the women's forum, not only would we not have the male perspective, or the conversation such as it is, but it would continue to illistrate the difference society insists on trying to enforce. Men and women are different, but we do actually come from the same planet... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life.
