pilotdave 0 #51 November 24, 2003 0:7:0 Absolutely perfect weather all weekend in the northeast. Didn't realized the weather sucked in so much of the country. I'm sure you guys won't be complaining in January when we have 30 feet of snow on the ground and it's 75 where you are. Loving my new sabre2 135. Gotta figure out how NOT to swoop when there's no wind. I'm not used to sliding in so fast on my feet, but I love the way the sabre2 stops at the end of the flare. Stood em all up, but not always as gracefully as I was trying for. Also have to get used to starting my pattern a lot higher. This thing comes down a whole lot faster than a PD150.

Amazon 7 #54 November 25, 2003 One more FJC session taken so I can get my Coach Course requirements out of the way before it happens on Dec 6. Late in the day it was clear enough for a load to 5 k..MAN it was cold.. and have you ever seen snow in the headlights of your car kind of zeroing in on your eyesight like the stars screensaver??? Well that is a very strange effect to hang under cold overcast skies when a snowstorm starts... very trippy. Those snowflakes were attacking me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can say firsthand she isn't a bad girlfriend....at this point in her jumping career she wouldn't ride passenger for anyone. However, she was saying last weekend that she really wants to see me do a Static Line jump - and I think it's only fair that if I do a SL jump, she has to be a passenger if/when I go for my tandem rating._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You know, Bo....it's about time she had a malfunction on someone else's rig instead of her own. It deserves a break, too. Damn.
