Nasty winds on Saturday ... jumpable, but not on a .9 wingloading. I'm overdue for downsizing and I will do so as soon as I get back from LP.

Sunday, a couple of RW jumps, a FF jump, a hop 'n pop and a high pull at sunset, which was amazing. I had a hard time staying with the formation, though I was in full flight and everyone else was in half brakes :)

Didn't care for the funky winds on Saturday and spent almost the whole day Sunday working paddles/radio for students. Sat out there in 111 deg heat and didn't make a dime off of it. And the f*ers didn't even bring me a sandwich or something cold.

I'm going back to just fun jumping and others can fend for themselves.

Welcome to the neighborhood, wont you be my neighbor? :D:D:D:D


Used to be a nice place, just keep yer ass on YOUR side of 75 and we will be cool.

(I will still come over to your side for the food, bars and shopping areas)

No humpin this weekend.

Two nice FF jumps where I spend the near whole jumped docked. Strange since I had not really been in freefall with others free flying that close in over two years.

I did an entire day of jumps from altitude...including a nice sunset high pull.

Some drinking beer by a pool and cross country drunked golf cart/gator RW on a buddy's farm.

All in all a good weekend.

0/6 - My students got their board certificates (as practice nurses) at Jena University and after three years of being their form teacher I didn't want to nor dare to not go there for just doing a couple of jumps, not even on this bright Saturday after 3 sh*tty weekends in a row ;) See pic attached, they truly are the nicest, most beautiful and best-dressed students. B| BTW: The young lady next to me (to the left) was the best of them (15 A's, 2 B's) and got a tandem jump sponsored by/with me. :P

Did 6 tandems on Sunday, all of them really nice.

@hcsvader: Travelled 'Straya in 2007 and happened to be in Litchfield N.P., went through Batchelor and all of a sudden... spotted a lot of canopies! Went there "just to pay them a visit" since my wife has this strange "Don't even THINK of jumping when we are on holiday" attitude. Liked it a lot! See second pic attached that I took from the ground.

The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

First time in a long time that I've owed beer. I finally got to spend time doing CReW. First two-stack and got my four stack, too. Hard to believe 10 jumps and less than 2 minutes of freefall when every load was to full alititude. I've got a whole lot of muscles this morning that are doing a bit of complaining about the use they got this weekend!! :)
