Isnt that Levins base rig? Nice picture. ~AirAnn~

If you are talking about my suit - The boyz designed it for me. Eduardo Caceres (eddie_velocity@kurupee.com) Blas Prieto (blasi_velocity@kurupee.com) I told them my colors were purple and teal and to put a little of yellow on there for Levin. And that is what they made. You can design pretty much whatever you want and they can look at the plans. Print out the form and work with that. Then send it to them. You will have a killer suit. They are open to all kinds of things. They are awesome guys and sent a suit to be given away at the Chicks Rock Boogie. (where I was supposed to be) I am also a dealer - so if you want to email me its ann@airann.com. ~AirAnn~

You look great for the low sit jumps you have. All of these posts here are valid and beneficial. Just bear in mind your body will fly differently than someone elses. So, listen and learn, but mainly learn to fly your own body. Once you learn this the rest will come easy. You have to work with the air, you cant fight it. Learn to work with it. It took me close to 80 solos to work out my thing. I had no freeflyers to work with, it was trial and error. And alot of errors. However every error/jump taught me something about flying my body. Practicing solo keeps us all safe. If I flailed I learned to quickly get control. That has helped me ever since then. Quickly getting control and not losing altitude will be important later. Good luck and train as often as you can. ~AirAnn~

I dont suppose you ran into Levin, Brit and Zennie?? ~AirAnn~

The only thing that semi bothers me is when Skeet (Great Dane) drools on the place where I sit. But then again I am peeing in his water bowl. HA- I just remembered the time when Olav ZipsTer (Shih Tzu) tried to copy Skeet and fell in the toilet. ZipsTer also came in from the yard (when he was little) and all of a sudden he had yellow hair. ?? He had walked under Skeet and got peed on. Flea Flyer did it too when he was little. The little guys dont seem to look up. Man, its just better than TV around here. ~AirAnn~

I am so proud of the women who participated and those who wanted to. I know a lot of women couldnt go but raised money for the Cause. Congratulations!!! x131 But dont forget that breast cancer continues to be a problem for women and even men. I personally have had a chunk of my boobie whacked off. The fear of waiting to see if they got it all is worse than the actual whackage, for sure. I cant imagine what women go thru if its not caught early. So, girls do monthly checks. ___________________________________________________ How to Do Breast Self-Exam Lie down. Flatten your right breast by placing a pillow under your right shoulder. Place your right arm behind your head. Use the sensitive finger pads (where your fingerprints are, not the tips) of the middle three fingers on your left hand. Feel for lumps using a circular, rubbing motion in small, dime-sized circles without lifting the fingers. Powder, oil or lotion can be applied to the breast to make it easier for the fingers to glide over the surface and feel changes. Press firmly enough to feel different breast tissues, using three different pressures. First, light pressure to just move the skin without jostling the tissue beneath, then medium pressure pressing midway into the tissue, and finally deep pressure to probe more deeply down to the ribs or to the point just short of discomfort.. Completely feel all of the breast and chest area up under your armpit, and up to the collarbone and all the way over to your shoulder to cover breast tissue that extends toward the shoulder. Use the same pattern to feel every part of the breast tissue. Choose the method easiest for you: Lines: start in the underarm area and move your fingers downward little by little until they are below the breast. Then move your fingers slightly toward the middle, and slowly move back up. Go up and down until you cover the whole area. Circles: Beginning at the outer edge of your breast, move your fingers slowly around the breast in a circle. Move around the breast in smaller and smaller circles, gradually working toward the nipple. Don't forget to check the underarm and upper chest areas, too. Wedges: Starting at the outer edge of the breast, move your fingers toward the nipple and back to the edge. Check your whole breast, covering one small wedge-shaped section at a time. Be sure to check the underarm area and the upper chest. After you have completely examined your right breast, then examine your left breast using the same method and your right hand, with a pillow under your left shoulder. You may want to examine your breasts or do an extra exam while showering. It's easy to slide soapy hands over your skin, and to feel anything unusual. You should also check your breasts in a mirror looking for any change in size or contour, dimpling of the skin or spontaneous nipple discharge. ________________________________________________ Now you guys can do boobie checks too. Help a sistah out and follow the directions above. The part about lotion or oil, the flavor is at your discretion. ~AirAnn~

Yeah, One pocket on the inside left. Not sure about the right side. (And he has a 2 inch rip on the right knee. His friends at FireFly need to send the boy another one) Levin takes off his alt when landing. On his landing films alt is on then its off. I assume he puts it in that pocket you asked about. But then where does the space ball go??? I think he said he stuffs it in his jumpsuit. But also on landing he loosens his chest strap. Does he boy then have 3 balls? -Things that make you go Hummmm...... One day come by and see if you can spot the Alt switch. Most people do not. Levins Landing hour: Every Thursday, Friday & Sat night - Right here at AirAnn's Sanctuary for Homeless Skydivers and other animals. Levin's Landing Hour kinda goes like this- *First you see the ground from a certain distance. *Then various turns *Then the grass. *Then the sound of little feet. *And his camera squeaks depending on how many steps he takes. *Then his canopy floats down. Thats about it. No people just grass. On a good Levin Landing Hour swoop you see more blades of grass and hear less steps. That is how you tell if its a good swoop. But wait..... He will happily rewind it for you. In summary- swoop -swish, step-squeak, step-squeak, step-squeak. (wind depending +/- a step-squeak) **Just my observations** ~AirAnn~

Yeah that is Levin the the cute puppy. I mean, the red and yellow custom FireFily guy. I was thinking, damn that is a good picture of Levin and I. He rarely smiles like that... Then I saw the rabbit ears. The leather one is being donated - Its strictly experimental. The company is out of NY and should be interesting in a many ways. I understand your DZ will handle some of Eddie and Blas's suits and that is really great. If anyone is interested in the south central region let me know. I think that this new company, is great, the service is above average, the guys are super friendly, they have really great ideas and the quality of the suits are outstanding. What else could you want? ~AirAnn~

Spy - The boyz at Kurupee made me a suit and its totally cool. Awesome design and I left that up to them. Light Purple and dark purple hand painted crazy flowers and etc. It is yellow down both sides with kurupee.com on both legs. The only thing I said was my suit colors are purple and teal. But on this one I asked that they put a little bit of yellow for my Kid Levin. Heh... Picture attached. It is equally as fast as my fast suit although if you look at it you would think I would float but I dont. I can still stand comfortably at 160-170 as I can in my fast suit. My Kurupee is more forgiving and I make less corrections, its more stable. I think. I have NO idea how I am going to fly in my leather suit. (due this winter) Fast I guess. My fast suit is real thin and believe me I have frapped in more than anyone I know and it never shredded. I can not imagine what I would have to do to damage the Kurupee suit. Barbed wire maybe. http://www.kurupee.com Be sure to read the legend of the Kurupee dude. I get comments on that and the patch on my suit alot. I love the idea that the Kurupee Dude protects the forests and animals... but about that appendage part... I guess that is what makes him a legend. ~AirAnn~

nws01 is totally right. I nearly have enough room in the king size bed for another varmit. The foot of the bed on the right side has about 2.5 square foot left. Skeet my Great Dane gets first choice and his head and my head barely fit on a pillow. Moody- I will trade you 6 kittens. (maybe five) A big un like yours would love my backyard. Even may like a dip in the pool. Wendy is right about Sabre being bored. Worst thing for a young dog. Shyt chasing/swooping cows is FUN. You cant fault the guy. But Dad isnt likely going to go for it. Sounds like Sabre is your responsiblity. And you need to either spend a ton of time with training or find a way to keep him occupied. I would take him ............................. Oh - What am I talking about The AirAnn Skydiver Sancuary and Home for other homeless animals is temp full. ..... Levin brougt another cat home Friday..... If your dog came... Trail Mix will never come our from underneath the dresser. Ramon knows a girl who lives in the country and may be interested. RM Ramon. She almost has as many animals as I do. We both have kind hearts. But she will take a snake. I draw the line with reptiles. Unless they wear a bell or a flashing light or something. I will try to help.... ~AirAnn~

Brit- Howzit going Squirt! ~AirAnn~

Brit! or should I say Squirt? ~AirAnn~

I know a guy who has a headdown/stand/headdown/stand etc.... around his upper arm. Its pretty cool. They person who did it had no idea about skydiving I was told. So knowing that I think he did a fine job. I might have a picture of it someplace. I think its on the bunch where Levin is pieing him on his 500th. ~AirAnn~

Hey, I know.... Lets ask Levin about his suit. He wont say anything. About how lame is that? White isnt even a color. Levin stole David's suit and he shrunk it in my dryer. If the Firefly girls read this - Levin's sit is tired. He has a blow out in the right knee and he need a new one. ~AirAnn~

Slappy- Do you mean Hellfire? In Hellfire, I rule. ~AirAnn~

I have 2 boneheads and I have never baked either. I have a pretty standard head, I guess ~AirAnn~

Michele! I have it on Video!!! You are SO Great! You did a great job on the interview. Only very short ... And I couldnt believe that the old dude who scratched his finger on a shark and the Boy Scout who ate a hermit crab got more TIME. Lozers. You know, its not like they were going 200 mph straight at the ground or anything. Jeeze.... ~AirAnn~

I didnt miss your sorry ass one bit. Whats up with the secret emergency leave the country thing. You just didnt tell anyone? You just took off - just like that. And we were all lozing sleep at the DZ on weekends cryin over how you must be broke again and couldnt come skydiving. Heh! The Jumps for Slahlappie Donation Jar has been changed to Air for Ann. Lozer, get ur butt over to the house for Levin's Landings Video Hour. (he rewinds and makes us see how far he can go, all you see is like grass going by, Facinating) Zen will be around here soon. ~AirAnn~
