Macaulay 0 #1 September 4, 2001 I finally got a job, but I'm still waiting for a paycheck. I afforded a couple jumps yesterday, but I'm grounded until payday (Sep 20... ouch). My girlfriend does a good job of keeping me occupied while on the ground.Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Perfect temperature, little clouds, and some weird wind blowing the opposite direction from what we are used to at Skydive Oregon. It was fun to swoop the hangar on the opposite end of the runway on which I normally land.A dozen or so of us went canopy hunting in a nearby cornfield after a chop. We found a handle and a main... no freebag. Messy, but fun. We came back, watched 'Crosswind' (beautiful, amazing film), drank, went to Mexican, came back, drank, got the fire going, drank, and then... it's fuzzy after that. I just sat around ALL day today.The irony of Labor Day is that you don't do any work. I did as little today as one could possibly imagine. Aaahhh. Great weekend.- Macaulay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DZBone 0 #4 September 5, 2001 1:13:0Saturday started at 5:00am (EDT), still managed to get three jumps in at Perris, and hang until midnight (PDT). May have overslept Sunday. Monday was chillin'.Would have preferred 1:25:0, but hey, that means 25 pack jobs too! And any more in the first column would be a disservice to the best girl in the world, who was left behind.Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 September 5, 2001 My numbers were 0:15:and dont want to go there. Beer was owed for many things. Too many to consider even. And damn if I did'nt work hard as hell on that other number..... The jump numbers were cut low due to jumping being suspended that day due to the death at the DZ. Next day I was'nt to motivated to jump either......Do I HAVE to do another raft dive???

That is why my second number was kinda low...Monday I was just not into it. I used the word "motivation" a couple of times to describe it when my buddies asked me why I wasn't jumping. Weird feelings that day, even though I didn't have a friend's passing to deal with...Anyhow...Don't worry, come see me and we'll work on our numbers...jump numbers, I mean! Hugs 4 U,SisI lust for the ultimate rush... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
