Voluptuosa 0 #1 May 18, 2004 Hellooooooo, Just signed up to dropzone.com and am looking to see who's out there that I know. I don't think there are a lot of Charlene's who skydive but, just in case... I'm the tandem mistress who spent a lot of time in Lodi and also wandered around the U.S., drop zone hopping, back in 2000. I'll never forget the people I met on that trip but, unfortunately, I have forgotten their email addresses. So, if you were at Skydive USA in Wharton, Texas, thanks for teaching me about Booze Luge. That's the best drinking game ever! If you were in Jumptown in Orange, Massachusetts... thank you for being so wonderful and loving and accepting every single person who walks onto your drop zone as an instant member of the family. For those of you at Moss Point, Mississippi, not only was the skydiving a blast but thanks for opening my tastebuds to some amazing southern culinary delights; like hush puppies and deep fried turkey. Mmmmmm... deep fried turkey... To everyone I haven't yet met... well, I hope to. Blue skies, Charlene Kerr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 May 18, 2004 Welcome to the forums! As for the deep fried turkey...is there any other way to cook turkey now? Yum! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voluptuosa 0 #3 May 21, 2004 I've settled down just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada, for the geographically challenged.) Been there, done the full time drop zone life and I'm glad to be back to a real job with a regular paycheck and jumping on weekends. But I wouldn't trade any single experience (good or bad) for anything. It's been a wonderful life so far and I'm hoping it turns into a long-running show. Have a great day.

Amazon 7 #4 May 21, 2004 Hey drop on down here to Snohomish Washington sometime this summer..After July 8 we will have a Cessna Grand Caravan. I also have a connection to Moss Point MS..

OR comne on over to Lost Prairie in Montana for the Boogie in July. Last year there were lots of Canadians there.

You know me! Cuz I docked on you! More than once. In fact I have a picture of me docked on you hanging on my office wall, and another picture of me docked on you hanging on my living room wall. You doin' JFTC again next year? Hopefully see you there/then!

The Gold Coast gang miss you down in south Mississippi. Come visit us again and I promise we'll introduce you to some more deep fried, southern culinary delights. I'm glad to hear that you haven't fallen off the edge of the earth.

Booze Luge is the coolest drinking game ever. And by "cool," I mean downright frozen. First find the biggest block of ice you can. The one they had down in Houston was about 3 feet long, 2 feet wide and 1 foot thick. Even in July, that baby hadn't melted the next morning. Anyway, then you use some kind of saw (I can't remember what they used) to cut what look like luge runs into the ice. A single run and a run or two that connect up before they get to the bottom are the best. Then, you put your mouth at the bottom of the run while someone pours your booze from the top. By the time the shot gets to you it's ice cold. And, if they pour down two the runs that meet up at the same time, you can get some interesting flavour combinations. (Keep a hose nearby to clean up the runs between boozers.) I've never been much for the hard stuff but I discovered that I'll drink pretty much anything if it's sent down a booze luge run. And that's the way they did it down in Texas. Blue skies, Charlene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Voluptuosa 0 #10 June 1, 2004 Well, of course I remember you. Not from the skydives because, you were so smooth, I never felt you on my leg. ;-) When did you change coasts? I thought you were working at Perris last time I saw you. And, have they started organizing the next record? I'd love to be on it again. That was the most amazing week of my skydiving career. (Next time around I hope not to have a miserable cold and spend all my ground time sleeping.) I hope life's being blissful to you. Blue skies Charlene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Voluptuosa 0 #11 June 1, 2004 Hey Mike, I most certainly will try to get down to visit y'all at Gold Coast again. You were great. Every time I see people from your DZ getting awards in Parachutist, I always look through the crowd in the picture and try to pick out people I know. And Brook and the girls certainly have done well with their Pink Mafia. Now that there's a chapter nearby, I'm going to do my best to become a member this summer. You let me know if those slacker jumpers of yours are still taking forever to get on the airplane and I'll come down there to crack the whip over them. Get on the plane! The engine's running. Get on the plane!!! Take care. Charlene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Voluptuosa 0 #12 June 1, 2004 I am a tandem master but also did a little packing and manifesting and whatever else needed to be done. Plus, my ex-husband (sorry to shock those of you who didn't know about the "ex" part) was a cameraman so we were a pretty handy package to walk onto a drop zone. All we needed was a plane and a pilot. Are you considering a possible future as a drop zone bum?
