Jumping again

Recommended Posts

I know, I know... you guys would never ever believe it.. I'm shedding my "Whuffo" disguise and jumping again this weekend!! I had some money saved up for a rig, then a small mishap with bubbles car and I had to help her with a downpayment on another.. sooooooooo what's left is going to let me jump this weekend!! I've been looking forward to this.. {was hoping it was with my own equipment} but I can't hold out till I can buy my own stuff... so I'm renting borrowing stealing equipment!! I MUST GET SOME ALTITUDE TO HELP MY ATTITUDE!!!!
Cya at Spaceland this weekend... Starting Tomorrow Thurs afternoon....
I've still got a summer cold to deal with but if I feel better I'm not going to let it ground me as long as it's not in my head :)Slappie is JUMPING AGAIN!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost forgot why I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got back from the DZ. Couldn't go yesterday {Thurs} so I did errands instead. Got up this morning with major butterflies thinking how much I couldn't wait to get to the DZ to be around skydivers again. Got there today about 1:30 sat around being lazy watching jumpers and tandems land talking with others just enjoying the sunny afternoon. Thinking to myself "I sure hope my heads clear enough to jump" *blowing nose*..... Figured my head wasn't stopped up just a runny nose :P... So I got on manifest for a 2-way with my old JM/friend Bagwell. Sat there sorta nervous for some reason. It has been almost 2 months since my last jump. The 20 minute call comes so I get geared up. Got in the plane an on the way to alti I was thinking to myself.. "what the hell you so worried about?" got relaxed and as soon as jump run started I was back on that bicycle doing wheelies!!! We did a sit-train went f*ckin GREAT played around in the air with him till about 6k then went into a huge 8 second track pulled at 3800 in the saddle about 3100... Got schooled by Bagwell when I got down, but other then that felt like an old friend had shown up BUYING the BEER :) !! I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk :)Only downside to the whole thing was my sinus felt like they were going to explode once I was in the saddle :( held my nose and blew it out... I thought I was clear enough, the ride to alti wasn't bad at all it was the sudden loss of alti that kicked my ass!! I'm wanting to jump somemore this weekend but might have to sit it out :( because of this stupid lingering cold >:( Spaceland is offering HELO JUMPS this weekend too!!! I am thinking 6k feet wont hurt so bad so maybe a helo and some Jump-n-Dumps this weekend :)Feels sooooooooooooo good to get some "Altitude for my Attitude!!
