CanuckInUSA 0 #1 January 2, 2003 I sit a work today with an empty feeling in my gut. My life has changed in the last week and it's not easy getting back into the Whuffo's world. When I arrived at work this morning I was greated with "you have to fix all of your immediate priority defects by Monday" instead of "hi, how was your vacation, etc, etc, etc.". So here I sit, wishing I was still jumping in Eloy with all the others who may still be there.

wmw999 2,589 #2 January 2, 2003 People here were glad to see me still alive. It seems to surprise them that I cheat death. Oh well. I'll admit, though, that I'm quite thoroughly partied out for now. Sore, stuffed up, bedraggled -- but what fun I had getting that way! Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

AggieDave 6 #3 January 2, 2003 Yeah, I want to go jump, like right now, but can't, I miss waking up to go jump and having to walk 50 yards to manifest...not missing freezing my balls of in my tent, though...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

freeflyz 0 #5 January 2, 2003 That Xmas sunset track dive was cool,to the point Omar got flat and it turned in to a 3 group track dive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #6 January 2, 2003 The tracking dive was totally cool. That's something I'm definitely going to have to try again. Unlike my rudimentary attempts at freeflying, I actually felt like I was participating Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

freeflyz 0 #7 January 2, 2003 Which group did you end up in top middle or bottom? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #8 January 2, 2003 Too far away to be in the group with the point man; probably off on my own, since I'm clueless and unaware. I didn't know there were other groups, so I guess I was between them and the bottom. Or something like that.

BikerBabe 0 #12 January 3, 2003 Oh my holy hell...we got back last night, and I slept all day today. I think I was running on pure adrenaline by the end, because today I couldn't drag my sorry ass out of bed. ARGH! It's cold here! and windy! I wanna go back to eloy! waaaaaahhhh! That being said, I had a blast, and all y'all that I met and jumped with and talked to are awesome! But methinks TequilaGirl needs to change her screen name to CoronaGirl...

riddler 0 #14 January 3, 2003 I'm with you Canuck. I just got back a few hours ago. Jeannie and I are already missing the warm weather and great skydiving. I have several clients that are screaming that their world is going to end if I don't fix their problems and all I can think about is the great jumps and fun times I had there in Eloy. Was great meeting you all and see you in Rantoul, if not before!Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
