rhuurrr 0 #1 May 27, 2001 Well,took a friend out to the DZ to do a Tandem today while I tried to get in a few AFF jumps. No Dice. High winds all day. SO I'm sitting around thinking 'Man, I need some Air!' so my g/f and I decide, 'Fuck it, lets just do a tandem jump' you know, get a little air time, if nothing else. Well, the DZO said sure, gave us a great deal, and then the winds picked up even more!!!!So NO jumps period.Stayed too high till the beer light came on.Some days you just can't fuckin win for losing!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!Blue fuckin Skies to all yo' jumpin' asses,JackP.S. and it gets awfully fuckin quiet around here on the weekends, shit guess I've gotta hang out with my wuffo friends...yuck!-------------------------------http://www.oneeyedjackproductions.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
