Well, if there was free beer again at Quincy this year, this will free up Merricks time to taste test!Hope things are well Pam and Merrick!!!!!

mouth 0 #9 August 13, 2001 Well if Merrick was seen up and around with a cast then hopefully it is nothing that 6 weeks can't handle. Take Care and be careful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #13 August 14, 2001 Merrick, I hope you were still able to enjoy the festivities. And, I hope you have a speedy recovery too. I'm sure Pammi isn't minding helping you take a bath.

Dutchboy 0 #16 August 14, 2001 I hope Merrick recovers soon. That really sucks. I actually only got in 3 jumps at Quincy (helicopter, high altitude, and casa) even though I was there from Tuesday through Friday. The heat was horrible so we just didn't feel like jumping much.My total on the high altitude jump slowed me down a bit, but it was mostly the heat. Friday was finally cooler, but very windy.I ran into a guy from Georgia who broke his foot jumping out of the helicopter while it was still on the ground! At least Merrick was actually jumping when it happened.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister2 0 #17 August 15, 2001 Just so everyone knows, Merrick doesn't drink, so even if he weren't injured, he wouldn't have participated in the free beer activities! LOL He takes care of Pammi (and me too, sometimes!) when we get drunk! Which she did, Thursday night! I didn't hear her puking outside the tent, even though I had all the windows open on the Pimp Mobile, which was parked RIGHT there! Of course, I was passed out myself! heheDutch, 3 jumps huh? I don't feel bad then for only making 4 from Friday-Sun. and I was at the hospital a lot and hungover some too! heheSee you all at the dz soon! I didn't jump as much as I wanted at Quincy so I have still got the jump bug BAD! I have been bitten and I want to jump jump jump. Something about Quincy really helped calm my nerves!! Crazy, huh?
