Texas and Texans

Recommended Posts

As I leave the airport on the 13th, it is 20F in Milwaukee. All I can think of is warm Texan weather...skydiving...wandering around Texas....meeting some dz.commers. I have a lay-over in Memphis and this young gentleman gets on the plane and sits in the seat next to me. He notices the Texas tour book I have on my lap and mentions he was born in Texas. We proceed to spend the next 1 hour and 15 minutes talking about Texas - where I'd like, locations to avoid, Texas people. Very wonderful intro to Texas.

Despite the rain on Friday, I ended up driving out to Austin and checking out the town, the scenery in-between Houston and Austin, and as much as possible. I never ended up making it to Skydive Houston as a result of the weather. (Oh...well....another trip to Texas needed.)

I did end up getting 2 jumps in at Spaceland on Saturday. Talk about wide open areas...nice!!! Although, I did get to experience Texas mud and water...LOL - Talk about icky landings. I so need to start doing stand up landings!!!

With my time in Texas, I ended up meeting Pablito, FlyBoyShell, JumperConway, Rebecca, Gemini, Cory, Steve, and many, many others. Sorry to those I'm not naming - I'm really bad at names but excellent at faces. The people that I met were very warm and welcoming and made me feel like I was at home. Thanks, y'all for making me feel so very welcome.

Hey lady!

Thanks for the kind words! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and I agree with FlyboyShell- we would LOVE to welcome you here permanently. You would definitely make a great addition to our group of bass-ass chicks. :)
Take care, and get down here as soon as you can!


you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

You are an absolute sweetheart and a wonderful man.

Sunshine's not the only one that thinks the world of you.

Oh...and your blushes are very adorable. ;)

Hey there LadyS!

It was great to see a new smiling face wandering about the DZ this weekend! Ok, let's be clear about this (as if the others haven't yet)... Get "yer" self back down here. There is never a short supply of fun people here, likewise there are never too many. :)

Hey, Cory!

It was great meeting you and BS'ing with you at dinner.

[southern accent]Now, honey, y'all are very sweet and stuff, but I do declare that I need to give them Californian's a try.[/end southern accent] :D

I will definitely come back for a visit soon, and as I mentioned, depending on my trip to CA will depend on where I seriously job search.

Thanks for rephrasing my landing description. So...yeah...my landings were what he said. :D
