namdrib 0 #1 May 2, 2005 No shit, there I was, for the first time in several months, I decided to get on an RW dive. We organized a rather difficult 8-way dive with multiple turning piece points. This was going to be a good "Rust-get-ridder". We rehearsed our dive just like I remember, over and over and over to the point where none of us would ever have to even think about where we were supposed to be at any given moment. Not too mention, we repeated that process with our gear on so confidence was extremely high that this would be THE dive of the weekend. After boarding the King Air, the confidence was very high, smiles were abundant, laughter was everywhere and everyone involved KNEW that victory was at hand. The thundering sound came across the silence, 2 MINUTES!!!! This is it, it was time to put up or shut up. The helmets were placed on the heads of the jumpers, gear was checked by everyone with the utmost concern for everyone's safety and the traditional "hands to the center....Ready, Set, Go" was performed. Nerves were tweaking, brows were sweating, farts were flying!!!! Then the inevitable happened, DOOR!!!!! Life never seemed so good, we all just knew that this was going to be the dive that everyone talked about while shoving beer down our throats later this evening. Front float climbed out, then Rear Rear, then Rear, then Center Door. It was an awesome climbout, very fast and flawless. Everyone else lined up in the plane, the "HOT" was given and the count was initiated. The exit was, as planned, flawless, we did 3 points on the hill. the points were flying like shit coming out of a goose. I had to really look to make sure that I wasn't flying with Arizona Airspeed. I know that I have never been on a dive that was going as smoothly as this. As I was coming in for the 26th point, I noticed that the grip I was grasping was not a normal grip. Fear struck my already trembling body when I noticed that I was indeed, holding onto Guido, the killer anti-symatic alien troll that I had lied to in the past. He looked me straight in the eye and gave me the hand signal for "abduction". I bowed to his wants and agreed reluctantly and suddenly was transfered to an exam table in a location that I cannot reveal for reasons unknown. Things were going on that I cannot explain nor would wish to reveal, but lets just say that I am not feeling all too good about myself at this time and I am hoping that the miniscule pinging noise that is coming from deep inside me subsides with time. With all of the trauma that has happened, Guido was nice enough to return me in time to get 6 more points on the dive and deploy and a very conservative altitude and land without a hitch! Thanks Guido!!! Hope you enjoyed my story!! Was bored so I thought that this would be a good time killer! Unknowing attempting to take out all 4 wheeled vehicles remotely close to the landing area!

namdrib 0 #7 May 2, 2005 Unfortunately, that is also something that I can not disclose. The coffee is for some reason, something that is involved with the experiement! I am sorry to disappoint everyone with not giving the secret ingredient, but hey, it seems to be working beautifully!!! Thanks K, my words seem to be the only thing that I have going for me! As for the other one that said that there is nothing to see here. Nothing but a little humor, that is all, if you don't like it, become an accountant!
