I did two new things today.

[Viking 0]

I jumped in someone elses jumpsuit with booties and allso jumped with two other people who weren't my aff instructors. Things i have done before include attemping a diveing exit but once again forgetting to put my arms forward and flipping end over end and sideways a couple of times. Plus JohnnyD got it all on video along with his third cutaway!. After i dumped i looked down and saw a main and freebag/reserve pilot chute falling and a white reserve. I noted where they landed and then did so myself taking down another one of those accurancy landings in the process. Went and dropped my stuff and talked with tony the guy that let me use his suit. I then went and helped John and his friend Ron find his stuff. We found them after about 30 mins of exploration. On the way out John kicked a cactus plant no larger than a couple of D cell batteries. Dispite its size it drove about a Dozen probly more spines pretty deap into all of his toes (he was wearing sandles). So Ron and i went back to manifest and got a pair scissors some tweezers and some water. We get back and John cuts and then pulls the thorns out. Oh ya i hope your wife disenfected your foot b/c i have seen those those things get infected pretty damn quick. Also i called my mom and she wasn't to mad at me for being late.

So all in all a pretty exciting day.

My two new things (I won't say the f-word) today were jumping a 190 and doing a 2-way with my friend Andy, who I started AFF with and only now have the skills to jump with. Oh yeah, and I used my own altimeter, instead of the dropzone's. So I guess that's three.

My DZ wants us to have our own jumpsuits, altimeters and helmets by 30 jumps. I just hit that today, so I need to get the other stuff quickly.

All in all, a very good day.

>My DZ wants us to have our own jumpsuits, altimeters and helmets by 30 jumps

I got a friend that I was on his 102th jump this spring and he was on a rented rig, borrowed alti, helmet and goggles since the only thing he has bought was a jumpsuit that he bought at a military surplus store for less then $50. It has no grippers, but it works the same... just some food for thought...

New things for me today (or was that yesterday?)

1) I jumped six times doubling my previous highs of three jumps in one day.

2) I downsized from the student Manta 260 to a rental PD 230 (and stood up two of my three landings on the 230). By the way my wing loading on the PD 230 is about 1:1.

3) I did a head first forward tumbling exit from the aircraft (man that was fun purposly flipping about four times before recovering).

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Damn, Viking, I'd thought you'd had sex for the first time, when I read the subject line.

I did two new things as well:

1. Manicure
2. Pedicure

Both were part of a gift certificate. I'LL NEVER get another manicure, again. My fingers feel sooo heavy w/ that crap on my nails. I haven't painted my nails since that paint and peel nail polish I played w/ when I was 4. The pedicure, I might get again, once in a BLUE MOON. I don't care about the polish so much as i LOVED sitting in a massage chair w/ my feet in a spa as someone spent an hour massaging my feet. NOW THAT IS WORTH IT...but definitely only as a treat once a year. Ha ha ha.

I can definitely say this for the ladies. Young Viking must only be a virgin because he chooses to be. Having met him in person this weekend, I can assure you that he is a handsome man and a complete gentleman. I am secure enough in my sexuality to say that, so hold the responses to that. On a side note, he is also very flexible.

I hope you guys read my comment to Viking sarcastically. I was the only virgin in my friendship circle until I was 20. I only tease the ones I love.

> a little unstable on exit - no big deal. i will have to watch the video again, but i don't remember anything wrong with your arms.
> good control of heading, separation, and fall rate.
> excellent altitude awareness. you signaled break off at the prescribed altitude and deployed at the prescribed altitude. very important.
>excellent canopy control (and nice spotting of my jettisoned gear). a beautifully gentle landing right next to the peas ended a great skydive and began the next and more dangerous adventure.................

That would have been the icing! Instead I self medicated until Chanda got home. We spent some quality time on the kitchen floor digging out the quills that I broke off out in the field. Ron was wrong - she did not laugh. Something to be said about doing your best to lighten up a tired, pissed off nurse with sharp objects.
