68 freak degrees in November! WOO HOO!! I wore shorts jumping today. Got some really nice jumps in. Hop and Pop to ham it up for a Tandem video, 2 freefly jumps with JadedLady, Wingsuit jump with Jaco212 (First jump for him on his Skyflyer B|). Did 2 RW jumps today. 16 point 4 way and a 15 point 4 way. Not bad for a guy thats only got about 10 RW jumps in this year. Its kinda making me want to do some more 4 way next year....

I get a Bird Man suit, and now have a reason to really, REALLY want to be at the DZ every weekend.So, what happens? SSDD, Wisconsin weather.
Low clouds all last weekend, then sun all week. Then there was this weekend....

It started raining Friday, and it's still raining. [:/]>:(

It better clear up in time for a few Bird Man jumps next weekend, or I might go Postal.
It's your life, live it!

A total of 8 jumps on my new Velocity 90. All from 5000ft. Canopy flight is great fun.

One guy had a bummer of a jump though. Had a reserve and lost the following.
1) A cutaway pad
2) A d-ring
3) A free bag
4) A shoe
As of this morning his main was still stuck on top of an enormous tree. It should have been rescued by now though.

5 tandems and 3 fun funjumps

AND...

beer for taking my first real tandem student sunday afternoon.

Beer for first time sleeping with a tandem student (ok, ok... so my GF was my last training jump, still counts.... right?)

Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time

$8.50 in postage



That what it costs to mail me those parts? ;)

:)
Our King Air is still kaput, but the "good" news is that the stuff in the engine that's broke is all on the "cold" side of the turbine. I guess that means it'll be less expensive to fix than if the stuff was on the "hot" side.

So, 3 jumps out of the C206, one solo head down, a two way, and a hilarious 5 way. I just love the Cessna once I'm hanging off some part of it. On the five way, we launced a chunk with me hanging out the back of the door. I go to take my spot and get slammed up against the fuselage by the prop blast. I didn't get knocked off, but I almost fell off cause I was laughing so hard.

Davis sent their Caravan over for one load, and I did a 5 way out of that. Lodi's Beech came out just as I was leaving to go to my girl's first basketball game. Didn't wear my camera helmet at all.

I got my Coach card.

Weather looked bad so I went to Madison for the weekend. Went something like this:

Get drunk. Sleep. Football game in the cold and rain. Sit around for a while. Decide to get drunk. Realize that carry out liquor sales in Madison stop at 9:00 PM. Sleep.

2 different Dz's : 6 jumps : :)...Maybe, maybe not

Ah... started off the day well in Hollister sat morning but then a landing gear issue grounded us for the rest of the weekend. We couldn't get the replacement part till today or something. So Skydive Monterey Bay right over the hill was our next best option and away we went... Twas a beautiful day indeed. All I did was f around with a couple of friends in the sky. Sunday especially with some really smooth FF jumps with mfrese, skydivexxl & r2hubert. Most excellent. Quality over quantity was what this weekend was all about...

Cheers!

60F, lotsa rain. Today is even worse, 24F snow and 40 mph gusts. Oh well, guess winter is finally here.

Skydive Chicago did put on a free turkey pre-Thanksgiving dinner for all that showed. The bar was pretty full and the party went very late into the night. Not bad when you realize the beer light went on around 4pm.

1 - 8-way that I went low on (I usually float up on them!)
5 - great skydives - 3 RW, 2 freefly, (sit and head down - I got taken for the ride)
1 - first CReW jump! I again was taken for a fantastic ride!

It was a great weekend, with perfect weather - so not like November in New Jersey...
