damion75 0 #1 July 10, 2004 Weekend excuses - the poor skydiver's answer to weekend numbers threads! So why are you hogging HH's bandwidth and not jumping your ass off? Hmm? Heh? Come on - let's have it... Me? The usual - still busy saving the world... the good news is that this is the last weekend that I will be making excuses! Next weekend will be (weather permitting) airborne!!*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

adrenalinejunki 0 #8 July 10, 2004 Well I have the money to go jump my ass off and the weather is just awesome but when your job requires you to work every other weekend it just sucks. We are short handed right now so that means I got to stay later and don't get to leave with enough time to make it to the dz before dark, and the 2 drop zones closest to me (100 miles each) only have cessna's so I can't get more than a few jumps the weekends I am off work. Time to go south I am thinking. __________________________________________________What's the worst that can happen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkM 0 #15 July 11, 2004 Slept in late and by the time I woke / finished showering / would've driven to the DZ, I wouldn't have gotten much jumping in(they tend to be done around 5 or 6). I miss the 7-8pm sunset loads at Pahokee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Repeat after me: "I solemnly swear to visit EBAY a lot this week and sell everything I can live without for jump tickets, to get up on time and get my knees in the breeze. I also would quite like to pray for some good weather, without rain, storms or dust devils etc. Thanks you very much. " For all those of you who are broken...
