Muenkel 0 #1 July 13, 2003 0:0:1 First weekend I have taken off from the dz since I started AFF. Still battling a sinus infection, but am now on an antibiotic. I need this rest though. It's all good. First time I believe that I started the Weekend Numbers thread. Does the beer I owe go to HH?

freeflir29 0 #5 July 13, 2003 0:3:0 Had a rare Saturday off. Broke up with the girlfriend early Saturday morning and headed to the DZ. Made 3 jumps out of the Westwind. Mostly chasing sit flyers. One of them was a "Hypoxia load" since Theresa was kind enough to get us some extra altitude. Thanks sweety!! Came fairly close to getting broken on jump #3. Started a 270 hook. Had to turn harder than I wanted to because of traffic. About 200 degrees into it the riser pressure got too damn high and I had to let up. So I bled some speed off but now I'm pretty low. I gave the left front another small pull to finish off the turn. Normally, the Stiletto will make a short dive and then give me some nice extra speed for landing. Because of the weird turbulence in the area (downwind of tall trees) my parachute did something it has NEVER done before. It just plain refused to fly. Never made any type of recovery at all. It just sunk. I couldn't do anything but bury the toggles. Which had pretty much ZERO effect. Luckily......I have a BOAT of a canopy and was able to just slide in on my ass. WHEW!!! That could have been much worse. Especially if I had been on the 135 I am about to get. Finished off the evening by watching some night jumps and swilling mass amounts of Rolling Rock!! Pretty good weekend for only having one day off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobB 0 #9 July 13, 2003 0:2:0 Cloudy Friday afternoon. Clouds early Saturday burned off so I could do AFF CAT-A and CAT-B. Clouds again on Sunday (raining now). Probably just as well that I didn't jump today. From the jumps Saturday, I woke up Sunday with soreness in muscles I didn't even know I had . No worries, just came home to read posts and drink beer Cheers... Bob Yes, I know it is snowing. No, we are not putting the top up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #12 July 14, 2003 5-0. Did a night jump on saturday in which i missed the peas by less than 5 feet. I think bets were taken if i was going to make it or not, sorry to put down the people who trusted in me. Oh yeah, got some awsome RW coaching with our S&TA, who helped me learn some good stuff. Not enough people wanted to jump to open the DZ today. M'Fuc#$rs. next time that happens i'm going to force them out of bed and to the DZ. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other highlights include Steve giving me burping lessons, having an argument on the phone with Jeff about who is the best FF team, playing phone tag with Wingnut, and learning what a "pillowbiter" is. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

Score is the total time taken for the team (4 jumpers) from first one to land to the last one to get in the hoop at the side of the target. 1st round was about 50 sec because I misjudged my downwind leg, and went too far. the 2nd round was 19 s.
