kai2k1 0 #1 September 2, 2003 OK, ive spent the last 2 weeks obsessing about AFF level 2. Thurday I call the DZ and get a reservation for Sunday morning. Friday rolls around and the skies start darkening up.The rain couldnt possible last till Sunday could it?? OK Saturday morning its still raining, time to start praying to the skygods and the local meterologist to let the skies open up by Sunday. Wake up Sunday morning and its still raining!! Call the DZ, theres no chance of getting it done, reschedule for Monday. Monday morning comes and you'll never guess what happened! More god damned rain. Call the DZ again no chance!! OK now im getting pissed, Reschedule for Today at 1100. I wake up at 0700 to the sound of rain AGAIN!!! Call the DZ, theyre closed and just as pissed off as I am!! The otter never left the hangar all weekend!! Now im on a short week and not a lot of $$ (house payment just came in the mail). Now im just sitting here thinking if ill ever get my AFF done. Its been 2 weeks since my last jump and im just getting more pissed off by the minute and im afraid of becoming non-current. I just saw the forecast for the rest of the week and its going to be sunny every damn day for the rest of the week! Sorry I just wanted to rant and rave a bit. Hope theres Blue Skies where you're at.

txblondie 0 #3 September 2, 2003 That's okay, I finally finished AFF on Saturday, and I was all excited about doing my first solo jump on Sunday or Monday. I woke up Sunday morning to thunder and rain, and the rain didn't stop until this morning on the way to work. Now I have to wait till at least Thursday cuz the DZ's not open on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, the weather that has blown in IS unusual for Texas, and I am enjoying how COOL it seems! Chin up, things will get better. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

sdctlc 0 #4 September 2, 2003 Boy that sucks, for you . I live in Seattle and we, contary to popular beliefs around the country, have had really nothing but great weather all summer sans the occational cloudy morning marine layer thing. I guess the weather decided to shift the accepted/preceived Seattle WX to another part of the country for the summer. If you get a chance can you keep it for us up here in the NW a little longer?? we are in no rush to get it back!Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Sebazz1 2 #6 September 2, 2003 Sacrificing virgins and or small farm animals can sometimes appease the gods and the rain will cease... Other than that opening a ice cold refreshing beer during day light hours will often clear the clouds... Oh and you could move to Arizona Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
