shermanator 4 #8 March 2, 2008 Was on my way to jump, and my tire blew up. once I got to pepboys to get new tires, i realized that I hadn't packed, and it was already afternoon. I wanted to get at least one load, so , I found a very small grass area in the shopping center parking lot. Grabbed my gear out of the car while they were changing the tires, and packed in the middle of the parking lot, in between lots of small businesses. that was fun.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicGuy 0 #12 March 2, 2008 Big family party.. I think it was a family reunion or something similar. I was unpacked, and wanted to jump on a load as soon as I got to the DZ. Only place in the house long enough was the family room. So.. "Alright, I gotta pack so if you all don't mind I need to stretch this out right here".

The cab of a pickup truck. but that one was not for jumping - just getting on the commercial airplane. Then I repacked at a terminal at SFO. That one was jumped and worked. I used a gate that was not being used and it was after 10 pm, so not many people were around. This was pre-TSA days, so no one said anything. ..

Had a back to back load and plenty of time after packing to dirt dive in the plane as well.
