Saturday started to look like a wash weather wise but the weather gods cooperated and we sent up the PAC all afternoon. On my next to last jump I look at my team mate - "what is the date?" "Jan 6" she says. And I remember - holy shit today is my birthday (I should have kept my mouth shut). Last jump of the day - we have a six way with three new jumpers - it's a jump club day - we get this kick ass dive planned - launch a 3 way star that we take into a donut and the other three come in for sidebodies. My 'friend' is insistent that it be a left hand donut. I figure - what the hell, he just made the Golden Knights, he must know what he's doing. Launch, Star, Donut, sidebody......*feel the d-bag leave my back at 8 grand*....WTF?????? As he rolls away laughing I flip him off. The whole plane was in on it. So they sang happy birthday on the ride up and I got an extended canopy ride from which I watched the sunset. It was one of those moments I could not get the smile off my face because my life is great right now and despite all that has happened - I'm pretty damned lucky. This sport and the people in it rock. I know we've all had a rough time of it lately with injuries, fatalities and such. Just take time to think about all the wonderful people around you.

now you can see what we wasted our money on.... Scars remind us that the past is real

I don't usually do these, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately and the two incidents at Eloy the past two days have cemented it in my mind. By this time next year, I resolve to have my AFF rating. I try to spread knowledge and create an atmosphere of safety awareness everywhere I go and jump but I want to do more. Safety is non-negotiable. Blue Skies and Happy New Year. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real
