ECVZZ 0 #1 September 27, 2002 Well, I'm packing tonight for the weekend. Leaving Reno tomorrow afternoon, flying into Ontario and going to my sister's house. My Dad retired today so we're having a blowout for him Sat night. I'll get maybe 3 - 4 hrs. sleep tonight, 5 or 6 if I'm lucky Fri night, and I suspect that'll be it till I get home Sunday night. The good part is I'll get to jump for at least 1/2 day at Perris on Saturday. The family was none to happy about it, but hey, I haven't jumped in a month, and I have a bunch of jumps on my account at Perris (not to mention, through the kindness of her heart, the Bytch has offered to jump w/ me...who in their right mind would pass that up???). My sister put jumps on my account for my B-day in august, and now she's really frosted about the fact that I'm gonna use them on Saturday. My response was "Hey, I'll be back in time for the party. Doesn't start till 6 pm, right?". Ohhh, the venom in her voice! Anybody got a snake-bite kit? Dad wants me to go golfing w/ him and my bro in law Sat.. I'm going to the DZ instead. What would you do? Btw...Mom and Dad will be at my house by Tue. night at the latest, so it's not like I'm not gonna see them for awhile. G. Jones "I've never been quarantined.

jceman 1 #4 September 27, 2002 QuoteDad wants me to go golfing w/ him and my bro in law Sat.. I'm going to the DZ instead. What would you do? Having lost my mother this spring, my answer is quite simple: it's your Dad's big day. Make him happy and play golf or do whatever he wants to. The DZ will be there next Saturday. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seedy 0 #5 September 27, 2002 Couldn't agree with you more. Last time I saw him I told my dad I'd see him in a couple of days when I came home for the rodeo. Got a call about 8 hours later that he was gone. You don't get to make up for what you missed. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird 0 #6 September 27, 2002 Agreed. Go with dad. It may be painful not to jump, but just think of how much he'll appreciate it, knowing that you wanted to jump and chose to be with him instead. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
