Hay Michelle!! Ya have the gift!! You Ladies Rock!!,, (teary eyed) in my line a work we fly all over the northwest in Super King Air's and Helo's,, every time we get ta 14,500 I yell "Jump Run!!",, yell "Door!!" every time I open that sucker!! but we're on the tarmac,, work sucks,,,.. Sweet Dreams!! B

Hay Wingnut!! Give the Ladies a big hug and kiss,, beers,, and a jump for me ok!! Enjoy lil Bro!! Drive safe!! Blue Skies and Sweet Dreams!! B

Hay I'm tryin hard ta be there!! Can't make the whole week tho,, Mandy I am hopin ta meet ya'll at the airport,, and may be headin over on Sun with some folks from here,, if that don't work out I may just toss some shit in the truck and be your guide on the way over,, still have ta be home by Tues evening,, but could jump Sun Mon Tues,, We should start thinkin of the NW division DZ.Com record!! B

Well between Beer and jumps,, the program depends on you local DZ,, ask them,, ta get your A license just plan on at least $1000-1500,, but it wont matter,, cuz then ya just spend whatever ya got available and start sellin shit ta jump again,, buy gear,,, start lookin for a job closer ta the DZ,,, sell the house,, run up the credit cards,, ruin your credit,, butt yea,, ya won't regret any of it!! Hope this helps,,, Blues and Sweet Dreams B

Few friends of mine jumped there a while back,, nuthin but good things ta say,, felt adopted into the family there and had a blast,,,....

Sorry AirAnn!! Congrats ta you also sweety and thanks for sharing!! Damn now ya got me thinkin,,, ouch,,,

Grogs congrats on your 200!! The timing here is perfect,, were plannin a nite jump Fri,, I've watched them come in before but it would be a beer jump for me,, and what sucks is I do a 24 hr shift on Sat,, I'll have ta talk with some folks before I decide ta do it,, questions like, is it hard ta see your altimeter, I don't jump with a dytter,, and with only 58 jumps should I wait?? do ya pull high and enjoy the view?? Shit gets me excited thinkin about it! May have ta call in sick,,, B

Congrats Herv!! Every 4 way for me funneled this weekend,, it was fun anyway but after lookin at the video IT WERN"T MY Fault!! So whats next on your hit list eh??

OK we know Michelle earned and inspired us with her story after that silly mal,, But I nominate Sangiro for the 2n'd Big Ballz Award for all his efforts ta get and keep us all in touch,, even if the USPA refuses him his Emerald Wings,, is it to early for another trophy?? He's got my vote!! B

I'm with Shark and Albatross here,, If ya don't get a thrill ya might as well stay home and watch golf!! That FF,, sorry thats fear factor,, is your body gettin primed,, it's a heightened awarenes for survival,, for life,, that deep breathin is important, don't hyperventilate,, but think about,, in our C-207 were sittin kinda cramped,, packed in like sardines usually,, ya just don't breathe as deep as ya do standin up straight,, and at 12-14K your hurtin for 02 unless ya live above 7K,, your gonna feel it whether your aware of it or not,, so a few good deep breaths every few minutes above 9-10K is something your body needs just ta stay sharp,, unless ya have crappy lungs thats all ya need,,I love the view from the sky,, I love ta sit by the door,, So breathe, relax and focus on how much fun your gonna have and what ya gotta do ta jump again,, it ain't that difficult,, Golf puts me ta sleep,, but jumpin just fires me up!! Enjoy the whole experiance,, the people,, the gear,, the prep,, the climb ta altitude,, the visualization,, the climb out,, the release,, And thats just the start a the fun part!! Blues Bro!! B

Congrats to ya both!! Hook Line and Sinker!! Life will never be the same!! Have fun and good luck with L-2!! B

3:11:2 Hay Mouth, Michelle,, just keep in mind we Love ya's!! My "D" was official 2 months ago,, they only thing I miss about it is my daughter,, but we all get along better now,, get over it,, move on,, and enjoy your new freedom!! when your ready the right man will be there,, OK enough a the Opra crap! hee hee,, jumped Fri-Sat-Sun and today we had a news crew come out ta show what ya can do locally for fun this Summer,, they had a ball and the very cute news gal did a tandem near Sunset with a stand up landing with no winds,, so because the plane was flyin got in 2 jumps today,, the last of the weekend a 4 way track dive at sunset from 16K,,, so my numbers are a little padded cuz my weekend started on Thurs and don't go back ta work till Wednesday night,, but since I can't jump anymore may have ta work on that first number!! Beers were for first kiss and first horny gorilla,, got a friggin harness hickey on the first jump Fri,, half way around my leg!! On Sun jumped a rig I'm thinkin a buyin,, a Falcon 210 in a Talon container,, exit weight 180lbs,, me with only 58 jumps,, my AFF instructors think it's a good combo for me now so I just have ta get the $$,, very few jumps, Cypres with a battery change due soon,, good price,, loved the way it opened and flew compared to the student gear I been rentin,, 9 jumps on that gear and I hurt all over!! Sorry bout the babblin but still jacked from a great Sunny,,warm,,weekend!! Hugs Ladies and Sweet Dreams!! B

Cheers Frank!! We had a guy from Calgary at our DZ today,, very nice fellow and yes we had Beer afterwards,, He's goin to Lost Praire early in the boogie,, told him of that boogie ya have in the Spring that sounded like fun,, may see him again later,, BEER EH!! B

Hay Kel!! Congats Sweety!! Nowhere to go from here but up!,, then,, down,, then up!! And Down!! repeat until broke!! Hugs and Blue Ones!! B

Ahhwww Jeesseee,, So quick to the gutter!! It was a 2 way with 7 points,, for me a real step forward,, and now just another kinky thread,, Dues it must be the vibrations and plain ol adrenalin,, a BJ in FF,, talk about a quickie!! Bwha ha haa,, didn't get ta do the ultralite jump,, kinda windy and hot,,,

Sneeze!! Hell I wan't a pee bottle in the jump plane!! Love your writing,, gives me goooosebumps!! B

Hay Kel! Good ta hear from ya sweety!! Glad your gettin some jumps in!! I'm sure you'll learn lots workin at the DZ!! Now when Wingnut show's up you 2 have a great time!! Hugs Sweety and Blue Skies!! B

Hay Pyke, That pool party musta been like a Vegetarian at a pig roast eh!! But I'll give ya the 0.5 for the boobie thing!! No I was actually being serious!! We had an earthquake in Spokane this morning,, and a bunch of lil aftershocks..the local "MEDIA" interupted the local broadcasts for hrs ta show all these yahoo's showing how their shitty POS chimney's had a few bricks fall off, or how they got a hairline crack in the wall!!,, Californicators woulda laughed their asses off about it!! I thought maybe it was raining in So Cal and they wanted there Sun back again! Shit they can't go 24hrs w/o it and an air conditioner before they start shakin things up here!!

Hay ditto on the frustration!! Guess I'm lucky, our lil DZ the folks are very willin ta get us low timers up ta snuff ta jump with them,, as far as that dude with the attitude, hymm, hymm, FUC% HIM!!

Hay I got lucky this morning,, 1:0:1 on the hump scale for the weekend,, but 3.9 on the Richter scale!! hee hee,, I crack myself up!! ; )

Ok,, We need this I think,, a Monthly/semianual/ whatever kinda trophy,, and I would like ta nominate Michelle for the first one,, her story and skill,, both in the air and in her story telling,, inspires I think all of us,, and maybe a lady getting the first "Big Balls Trophy" is just to COOL!! Michelle when I read your 2nd post I was moved,, my heart rate was up,,, we are all very proud and motivated by you,, I did notice ya mentioned the heavy on top thing tho,, have ya read the "Boobies" thread?? Maybe ya need ta post us a pict to go with your Trophy!! hee hee On Friday,, Blue skies, Sweat dreams,, and soft landing! You go Girl!! Billy

Enjoy Amigo!! Glad my Daughter is 3000 miles from Ohio!! Safe Jumps and Blue Skies!!

Why I left AZ,,,, B You know you're from ARIZONA if: Salsa goes with everything (especially eggs !) ¤You think a red light is merely a suggestion. ¤You notice all of your out of state friends only visit after October and will leave by April. ¤You see a person wearing oven mitts while they are driving and you think to yourself, "That person is SO SMART!" ¤Most of the restaurants in town begin with "El" or "Los". ¤You think that rocks make the best landscape. ¤You notice your car overheating even before you begin to drive it. ¤Your house is made of stucco and you have a red clay tile roof. ¤You can say "Hohokam" without people saying "Bless You" afterwards. ¤You no longer associate bridges with water. ¤You no longer associate RIVERS with water. ¤You see more irrigation water on the street than in the Salt River. ¤You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. ¤You agree that 105 degrees is a mild temperature for the summer. ¤Every other vehicle around you at a stop light is a 4 x 4. ¤You can be in the snow and then drive for an hour and it will be over 80 degrees. ¤Vehicles with open windows have the right of way in the summer. ¤You see people in jeans and winter coats when it hits 70 degrees. ¤You master the "two-fingered" driving technique for June, July and August. ¤You have discovered numerous ways of getting the seat belt on without touching the metal buckle. ¤You have burn scars on your body from when that buckle hits your skin. ¤The pool water in the summer is warmer than your body temperature. ¤What-out-of staters call Sun Tea, we call instant tea. ¤You turn on your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can cozy up next to the fireplace. ¤People with black cars or black upholstery are from out of state or just plain nuts. ¤The best parking place is measured by how much shade you can get. ¤Monday night Football begins at 7pm instead of 6pm. ¤You can finish a big gulp in 10 minutes and then go in for seconds. ¤There is no difference between the cold water tap and the hot water tap. ¤On a July afternoon, with all the children out of school, the streets are empty. ¤You can get a second degree burn from opening your car door. ¤You actually went out and bought beach supplies when you heard Tempe was getting a beach park.

D,, where that came from,, The National something,, or maybe the,, naww,,
