Two days, three DZ's

Made 7 jumps this weekend. Four were at Elsinore, doing 16-ways. Then we headed over to Perris mainly for the bar, but Mark Tennyson, Kate and company were doing a 6-way so I joined them before heading to the bar. A bunch of us headed to one of the standard mexican places for dinner afterwards.

Sunday I made two jumps at Otay - one high speed attempt and one jump to answer a question (can I land with one eye?) We left about an hour before the clouds rolled in to do some work on the house.

There are some weekends I miss the east coast, but last weekend wasn't one of them.

so how was your depth perception affected?

>so how was your depth perception affected?


It wasn't very much, but I had a much harder time setting up a pattern and landing because I couldn't see to my right. It was the reduced visibility, not the loss of a bit of depth perception, that was the problem. Longer discussion on the safety and training board.

Bill,

I must have missed you on Saturday. Was Marie load organizing the 16 ways? I was hanging, waiting for a "work" jump. In other words, I didn't jump. Couldn't fun jump or do the LO since I was doing Cat. D work-ups with Jay Stokes Sunday. The Saturday was definitely the better day as Sunday sucked and was cold. But still a good day to jump!

Sorry I missed you! Figures...I was in San Francisco this past weekend. Would've been nice to put the keyboard down and pick up a rig to jump with you. Next time...

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
