A good time was definitely had by all. That is for sure. I am not positive but no major injuries that I am aware of. Almost 50 total night jumps were made on the 31ST some of those into the 1ST. A total of three Otter Loads. C'mon now if you post on here lets' keep this thread alive. Eloy may have been fun but it was cold. At least Florida was Sunny with Light and variable winds, temperatures in the 80's and numerous fun people as well. The Eloy people are just plain jealous is all. All the thanks go out to TK and Staff, Paul M. at the Bar, and Janine at the snack bar (food throughout the day and awesome dinners at night!) Let's hear it for Z-Hills!!!!!!!!!

I am very happy that you made the drive and were able to get some things done. Not to mention meeting a bunch of cool compadre's. I apologize for not hanging out more. After I ate dinner on Saturday the sleep chair got a hold of me. I hope the drive back was just as safe. Just remember anytime you want to come down you have a place to crash. Just give me a buzz. Just remember at the end of the month is the Put it on your Calendar. See if you can get a co-pilot so the drive is not as boring or tiring. Look forward to hanging out with ya again. Take Care. BTW- IYO Who is the Original looking Kramer? Laters, The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

No such thing dude. NO need to apologize at all. Who knows you might learn something.

So yesterday I had a wonderful twisted up Eliptical! I made an attempt but to no avail. When I got on the ground someone asked if I had an RSL. I recon the transition was so fast that they thought I did. Not the case though. I owe the Riggers at Paragone again. They are the best and would like to thank them. Ya'll are the best!!!!!!!!!!

Is there ever a small amount of drinking at the Hill? I was one of the very few if not only sober person. Do you know how hard it is to babysit over 300 people? I organized night jumps. Thankfully no one got seriously hurt. One guy scraped his knee. Johnny got burned by some of the fireworks. He went to the hospital the next day and all is good. It was definitely a blast as always!

It has nothing to do with being chicken IMO. The thing with most young jumpers is that a majority have not had a chance to see and expericence what we have. Unfortunately from my standpoint I have had plenty happen to me. When the cloudcover gets to be too thick and you cannot see it becomes very unsafe. Not only in freefall but under canopy as well. Shit half the people are not even sure what to do if they are going to collide. Once again it has nothing to do with being chicken but more experienced and the sense to know better. I used to be one of those young clueless jumpers who would jump in any condition. These days I am wiser and would like to be around for awhile longer.

Why Bill I had no idea you liked Penises. You asked for that one there Bill! See ya either this afternoon or the weekend. Laters, The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly got to the Hill last night Safe and sound around 7 Ish. I did not catch up with her until around 10. She was enjoying herself at the bar. She should be working on that "A" today.

NOt positive still trying to track some down. TSA lost my pro-track for me and I am not good about keeping the logbook up to date. It is somewhere between 200 and 300. That number should increase this next year though. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

Rental! Definitely! I mean they are really cheap these days. When we went to Wisconsin the car was only like $20 a day with unlimited mileage. That is the only way to go. The trip from Deland is rather short. Depending on the way you go 2Hrsd or less. MOst likely less. From Z-Hills to Sebastian it is around two but he could hit Lake Wales on the way.

I am organizing night jumps at Z-Hills. Therefore I do not get to have a toast until after midnight!

Please explain your great philosophy on us. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!" "Be Slow to Fall into Friendship; but when Thou Art in, Continue Firm & Constant." - SOCRATES

Personally I would have it looked at on a regular basis. I see you are in the military so all of the exercising helps. I know of a guy in my Guard unit who broke his back on active duty but never realized it because of all the exercising. Since he does not exercise every day anymore the problem got worse. Now doctors are saying he will not be able to walk by the time he is 50. This individual was a jumper. I personally have a slight compression in the lumbar region of my back. If I make several jumps in one day I usually notice it. I am exercising a little more now so it is not really that noticeable. Hard openings and landings are going to affect anybody. Hope it helps and as I see you jump at Raeford say Hi to the folks out there for me. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just something to think about.

I am sure you did not have a problem reading flags. I was just stating that I thought I saw a Tetra at Perris. I figured that since you were a student there one of the instructors might have show you how to read it. Be leary sometimes fools set the pattern and on other occasions the wind will change.

The problem with that is you have to take the good with the bad! Laters, The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!" "Be Slow to Fall into Friendship; but when Thou Art in, Continue Firm & Constant." - SOCRATES

I see someone has already answered your question. It is good to know that someone learned something. Only been to Perris once but I thought that they had a Tetra? Oh well, at least you learned how to properly read it. Always remember though; if you are not sure of something, ASK!

It's not a sport? Is dancing around on a BMX to music at 30 a sport? I think not! Synchronized Swimming? NO! What exactly defines something as a sport? Do we not have competitions?

Really? If has th potential to be a bomb then why do we have it in our rigs and on our backs? Why when one fires the person does not get injured? Maybe you should stay paranoid in your own little world. The problem is that the certain TSA members are not trained to properly handle the rigs. At least one agent should be trained in every aspect. If this happened then there would not be any issues. Hell the last time we flew and showed the guy the FAA letter it was still an issue because he is not trained properly. As for you I would ask that you kindly stay out of the sky until you become more educated on the sport as a whole yourself. Thank You. There is no reason to be in a state of panic about what if's. Things happen. Yes there are ways to prevent them but in the long run it would start to interfere with our Freedom. We seemed to be doing fairly well before 9-11. No matter what we do maniacs and goofballs are still going to exist and try to hurt others for no good reason! Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
