No humps... whatever. Grrrr... that's why I've been cranky lately.

No jumps. I've had vertigo since Friday morning. No jumping for me. Saturday ended up being too windy for me anyway. Today would've been nice. Oh well. There's always another day.

But... I did get my water training Saturday night. YAY!

No beer owed.

Always be kinder than you feel.

I'm batting triple 0s so far but there is still hope.

Didn't get but did give, kinda one of those bittersweet things. 2 jumps, one recurrency, one 2 way belly with my bff (yes I have a bff shut up), it's good to be back. Probably owe beer too, but i'm going to pretend i dont.

1 Jump, first one of the season for me and it was a helicopter jump, by far the COOLEST jump ive done so far!!!!

Dammit, I must have missed another good story.

Last time I had vertigo was when I was skiing in a white-out at Arapahoe Basin above the tree-line.
Wasn't much fun, but it was exciting when I skied over a 15 foot drop-off I never saw.

(Skiing the 30" of new snow at Loveland was nice today.)

I'm so jealous!!! I've got nothing but, slush the last few weekends at Kirkwood. I'm happy to still be skiing but sad the season is ending

Saturday was the nicest day of the year so far, 6 jumps. 2 tandems, 1 coach jump, 1 tandem video, 1 4 way video and 1 jump from 6k to take some freefall stills. Not a bad way to spend the day! Today it rained so we did other stuff.

I'm up to 267 now. Maybe I'll make #300 Memorial Weekend at West Plains. If I can get enough jumps between now and then, could I persuage you and doc to join me for that one? I am getting better, slowly......

Of course! Got a jump in with Skootz --- it was lots of fun and a total shit show which is pretty standard for us. my landings are almost back to normal....or at least they were this weekend...itching to get back to the 168 but will be a good girl for a while longer....at least when it comes to jumping.

Made 5 jumps this weekend at our Dropzones 3K day! Whoo! It was great - $12 all day Saturday! Most folks made between 10-14, but I was kinda lazy and just made 5. I didn't show up til 1 and I manned the BBQ for 3 hours...

Nice weekend for April here. Did 3 recurrency jumps, jumped with Skootz, Ladydyver of course and Vince from Lost Prairie.

Yep - Pat - would love be in on your 300th!

7 jumps with the Grippers (a collegiate 4-way team) and one Tandem video...

all and all not a bad day of jumping but I was sore on Sunday from using muscles that I haven't used as much over the winter...

I was a horn dog this weekend, (obviously), 1 jump watching a friend practice for the B license manuevers, beer for the 1st time getting it on with my baby in the bunkhouse, and 1 for 1st time firing tactical weapons during a weather hold Saturday! very

Dang fast opening left me super sore the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday.

Looking forward to going back up to West Plains next weekend! Had a blast, as always, with Doc and Cindy and the rest of the West Plains gang. You all rock!!!

We put on a coach course this weekend and I was an evaluator. I made two fun jumps from a Caravan and then on Saturday I made 5 jumps where I tortured the new candidates plus all the ground work Friday, Saturday and Sunday made for an exhausting weekend.

Hit 18 hours of freefall.

3 AFF jumps on Saturday. A Cat A with the worst body position I've seen so far (I shouldn't have to work that hard on a Cat A! ); a Cat C that was right on the edge of stability; and a higher level student that deployed the reserve after trying twice to find the main handle.

2 Friday (2-ways)
3 Saturday (2 4-ways and a 2-way)
3 Sunday (1h&p, 1 2-way, 1 getting coaching on sitfly)

The shitty thing is the caravan broke down about half way through the day on Saturday so we had to use the 182 for the rest of Saturday and Sunday as well.

Beer owed for plfing and basically rolling onto the taxiway (though thats not where I touched down).

Nope... didn't miss anything. I wish I had a good story to go along with it but Friday morning I leaned back in the shower to wash my hair and then my whole world started spinning... very boring..
