Recommended Posts

You guys sooo rock. So.. what's next? Ground school.. Jen? Sketch? What days are people free for a couple of levels? Timmae, Bonbon? We can do it any day of the week up through like the 28th of Dec. then we are off to FL for a while.. Is it possible to knock out the whole of AFF by then? Can we do it at Byron? or do we have to go to Lodi?

OK so I am all for Chicks Rule AFF. Bonnie, Jen & Lany ? (AKA Bon-Bon, NoShit & PlayThing) I've met Bonnie once or twice, I think it would be fun. Or Hookitt would be entertaining too. Or Hookitt and Bonnie...

Whoever takes Plaything ... something must be done about this shitty weather!!! >:( Don't know about Lodi but Bay Area sucks right now.

I am incommunicado from the 26th through the 2nd of January. Other than that, I just need to learn to rig and get ready for mine and Dakota's move across the country. Whoo Hoo!

And Bonnie, I've gotta let you know, I've never heard you sing that song but it is already in my head :S:P:D


Now cut it out >:( (J/K) :D

That was wierd.
The recruiting agency sends me out to a company.

I talked with them and they said that the hiring manager had read my resume and was eager to speak with me.

When I get there the hiring manager says that he had never received my resume and that the appointment had never been confirmed.

Didn't want to talk with me but gave me his card and told me to send him my resume, then out the door.

This recruiter has been reliable up to now. I wonder what really went on.

Anyway, Roy, Lany, looks like I'm still available to teach the FJC during the week!

Uhh, Thanks Sketchy for thinking of me but, I've already got that one covered. My friend Tom Gade is going to teach me and he's down in Monterey. He is not free but he is a friend of mine and is giving me what I think is a very reasonable "teacher's discount". Of course he doesn't see it as a discount just cause he is ultra cool. I just need to get down there to do it and I have been trying to get fully over this cold first.

Wow, you are a very trusting soul Sketchy. I have to pack 20 good reserves and pass my practical exam before I even contemplate packing for anyone else. Granted I was a good packer when that is what I did for a living. I never "mal"ed anyone :S

But this is a whole different ball game and until I prove myself as worthy in rigging, I would recommend taking your reserve to a qualified rigger like Hookitt ;)

I wouldn't want you to die B|

Cool.. Let me line up the jumpmasters, rig and dropzone first.. I don't want there to be a long delay between Ground School and First jump.

Bonnie, Tim, Jen... PMs? :)

Have all of you gone mad?? :o
Who's going to pull? :S

Sketchy and I can even do Plaything's ground school at Roy's house so afterward, our favorite wine/beer will be waiting for us ;)

LOL! J/K, no need to supply nuttin. Sketchy will Byron let you borrow Malfunction pics, student rig, other FJC stuff for an evening at Chop Chop's to do Plaything's FJC?

If not, we may be best off with Lany doing her FJC at the DZ. I actually highly recommend doing it at the DZ. From experience of teaching an FJC at a friend's house one night. Let's just say the Anvil and a few others showed up with some Everclear. :o That was some FJC. And we don't have King Airs in Chop Chop's bedroom to use for realism and practice ;)

It was apparent that the guy was just trying to impress my vidiet friend and that his REAL sport of choice should have been badmitton.

It was an oh so interesting first jump :ph34r::D

I can use Break Away for the malfunctions unit along with some other materials I have collected to help me.

We don't really need a student rig for the equipment familiarization unit, sport gear will do. Of course she will have to do handle touches on the real gear before she jumps.

I'm pretty sure I can get a clock altimeter from the DZ this weekend.

A horizontal trainer can be made with a couple of cushions on the floor.

Not sure she will be jumping a KA on her first jump anyway so we can rig up something for the exit unit.

I don't think that they will let me do a FJC for free at the DZ. I'd be perfectly willing to do it, but they do make money off it as well.

I was thinking that the idea is to do this as cheaply as possible since Lany has a limited budget right now, that's why I suggested we try to get Bill to go for it and do it at Lodi.

I want to fly camera on her jumps!

What could possibly go wrong? After all we are all highly trained professionals ;)

Come on out to Byron this weekend and jump or party with us!

Jeff ... straight up.

A sport rig is fine for training but she needs to be able to pull the handles and throw them... over and over again.

Break-away is fine... but you will be using the pictures as well for the drills.

We'll talk about you flying video. That's not a given. If I'm flying, it's up to me, not you.

1) Of course she'll need to pull handles, I have a traning harness (old Racer, finally found a good use for it!)

2) Of course I'll use pictures as well, although pausing the video should work just fine. I can get a copy of the Mal test video.

3) As for flying camera, I didn't say I was, I said I wanted to.

Jeesh, give a guy a break. I wouldn't half-ass it for her any more than I'd half-ass it upstairs.

Relax bud, I wouldn't expect any thing less than the excellence you've already proven.

The Rig was an unknown and it sounded like you didn't have one. My bad.

Just find a nice private place with out the distractions such as Jen mentioned. Her nice comfortable Home setting is probably not the the best place to teach.

Carry on.
