Decided not to jump this weekend because Collin is leading the next skills camp at Skydance on Nov 7--so I figured I'd focus on non-jumping things this weekend. Now I wish I'd jumped though because it was great weather and the 15 day forecast for Nov 7 is a little shitty. Was great to get in the tunnel though--I had only 4 minutes in the tunnel in my life before Thursday--you really get some great feedback that you don't get in freefall. I hope the weatherman is wrong about Nov 7 because the skills camps have been really kick ass and I hope this next one happens on time."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites amstalder 0 #18 October 26, 2009 0:5:1 3 jumps Saturday, 2 Sunday.

They really did a good job of keeping me focused and not worrying too much about what was going on back home (My Dad's sick). Saturday night the 3 of us went out to dinner and laughed even harder. It was a really fun night!! I think I have them talked into coming to do a tandem. Their funny stories are right in line with skydiver stories. I think they'd fit right in. Plus, I introduced them to the word "fuckery". It was so freaking cold on Sunday I bagged the fun dive after my last training dive and went home early. I'll do the Advanced when it gets warm again or steal those 2 and head south!! Plus, I really wanted to get home to my Dad. He's back in ICU since Wednesday night... On the bright side, oddly enough, I think there's someone who likes me for "me", fuckery and all. Always be kinder than you feel.
