skyjames 2 #1 July 29, 2002 Ok, here's the scoop. If you take the rant out, U have oul left. Don't sound like much eh? oul= oh, u left? Yes, I am (will be) leaving for RANToul tomorrow, wait, no, I am leaving here (my home) tomorrow with my final destination ... geesh back home again, this sucks .. what I mean to say I am going to RANToul, and all my plans include the end result of me ending up back where I started from. (Yeah, right here) Got a new laptop, taking it with me (damn I hope it works better on the road than it does here) and I, with the help of the electron gods, phone company(s) and fate, will deliver a blow by blow update on a (hopefully) daily basis of "JAMES DOES RANTOUL." WOW, that has a nice ring to it :) Anyhoo, I know one person who will be building and posting a 'DIARY,' (loved reading it all the years I couldn't go to the WFFC), but that is only one point of view. I'ma gonna give ya'll another one. So why not start now with a PRE WFFC post, just so ya'll can get an idea of what to expect. ------------------------------------------------ I went out to the DZ today, got in 2 jumps. One 8 way and one 9 way. Nothing much happened during the jumps that was noatable, well, that is if you don't include the fact that my new and improved jump suit is so slick I fall like a greased ball of snot, yeah I went low ... wasn't my fault, those lofty bastards were wearing baggy suits and only weighed 1000 lbs betwix them! For the life of me I don't know why they always make me a diver, for once I wish I could do front float, yeah, that's it, I'd show them then. Anyhoo, before I could show them what I could do on front float it started raining. Beer thirty, end of jumping for the day. This is probably good 'cause I got a ton of loose ends to take care of before I move on to bigger and better stuff at the "New and Improved WFFC." (like posting this) I have no idea what the hell I am doing on a 9 way, it's an odd number ya know? I can't wait to do something even numbered at the WFFC, like a 30 or 60 way. Stay tuned, I intend to have a blast (even if the others on my jumps shake their heads and wonder what the hell I am doing on them), and report my antics back here. Of course it will be a biased accounting, but what the hay, I am the one reporting it. yours in skydiving ( I call it 'skydiving' even if they do shake their heads at me) bill von better watch out ;) skyjames muff muff 2773 'exit fast, fly smooth, dock soft and smile' 'nother james "exit fast, fly smooth, dock soft and smile" 'nother james Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
