Learned a good lesson today

Don't pull right out the door at a Colorado DZ in Mid November (This is where a Frozen Smiley would go)

At least you got to play with the breeze

It's even worse when you forget to wear gloves and go for the high pull.

Woh. Takes a lot of cold to make a Russian man cry out from it.

I'll shamefully admit I've actually lived the better part of 21 years in Siberia, so... it was cold. :) That ranks as my most memorable jump to date, anyway: a botched Mr Bill (could not hold on) on a sunset load over clouds raging aflame, some semblance of no-contact amateur CRW, and actually making it back to the DZ when the DZO placed a bet we wouldn't!

My first weekend with my Stiletto was a clear March day in Georgia. It was probably 65-70F or so on the ground. Beautiful day. New canopy,....first eliptical......figured I should do a H&P from altitude to wring out before I made my forst landing. Went to about 14K and dumped after about a 4-5 sec delay. It was so warm on the ground who would have thought I needed gloves. I spent about half that ride with my hands tucked in my arm pits. Still got in some 180 and 270 front riser turns to check alti loss and only went about 100 Ft too far on my landing. Stood it up though!

Is that the kind of dumb shit you do when I'm not around?

Guess fom now on I can't leave the DZ early and leave you and the cadets unsupervised
