Okay, okay...I give! I looked at the sites for the local adoption/rescue agencies and after looking at the pics, I've caved. I'm going to go after this coming weekend and rescue a kitten.

Yes, it was a day to remember. We were even able to sleep well in the corner bedroom after the party settled out sometime after 0100, or 0200, or whatever. TLML and I didn't go on the Flagler jump as Lynn had not gotten home from work until 0330 Saturday morning -- getting up 4 hours later for a 4 1/2 hour drive didn't leave her feeling very safe getting into the air, so we just watched Bobby and Tara's daughter. Our thanks to all the Clewiston folk for their hospitality, especially to Jeannie Bankston, who organized the day's activities, and Carl for the evening's. Katee, I believe we owe each other hugs; can't believe we didn't recognize each other -- hell, we talked 3-4 times. Well, oh. Those of you who knew Freddie can be assured we sent him off in style; those of you who never met him -- all I can say is I feel sorry for you, Freddie would have been your friend. All in all, it's just another hole in our hearts.

A very Happy xxth Birthday to the one, the only, our friend and hers, SkyBytch! Happy Birthday Lisa! Big hugs to you.

Send me the moolah and i shall take care of the couches, etc.

Sunny has spoken! No, I had pretty much come to that conclusion anywho -- smaller tent it is.. Now as for the second question ... Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Yeah. This is good judgement. I`ve tried that canopy for the 2nd time, make a minor fault and you say that I`m not read for that. For the record I have tried a Merit170 recomended by my mentor. After having 4 broken lines I have landed with the Crikett 147, it was nice, soft and stand up. BTW my WL is according local BSR. On your main? Seems like it. On your reserve? I doubt it.

Ok, folk, here's the deal: The last donation I received was on the 25th of February until I got a check from Baghdad today. As of today, I have a little over a grand. The cost for a tent like last year's is $950, the smaller one is $550. I talked with Beth from WFFC today (Snowwhite here) and we have the primo spot again this year. TLML and I are taking a sabbatical from the convention this year. So the question is, will there be enough deezeedotcommers using the tent this year that will be using the large tent, or do we want to go with the smaller one? If the larger tent is used, I will need to collect more donations for furniture and misc. expenses, if we go with the smaller one, I can call a halt to collections efforts. Either way, I will need someone to send the expense money to furnish the tent -- any volunteers? Any and all contributions will be appreciated by all those attending WFFC '05, any excess will go towards 2006; if you are comfortable using Paypal, click here to make your contribution. If you prefer to send money to me directly, email me here at dropzone.com or PM me for snail mail addy. Have a ball folk! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

TLML and I had our 10th Sky Birthday on the 13th of March, but didn't really celebrate it then due to bad weather (or one of us was sick, or something -- lot of that going around this spring), but we got to do it in style today. Deland was really hopping today, all three planes flying back to back loads, Majikal 50-ways going on, lots of tandems, wingsuiters, and free fliers galore. We had not been in the air since the Naughty Cupid Boogie in February, but when we got out of the Wonder Otter, it was like we had last jumped 12 hours earlier; she went into her stable sit and I docked gently on her feet, then her knees, orbitted her, redocked on both again and once more just for grits and shins. Tracking and deployment wre nominal and he both had gentle landings. It was so good we did it again, this time turning 8 points, including a dock on her rig and we sideslid into another soft dock, both facing the the LZ. Rest of the skydive was good and landings even better. Now that we've made the first skydives of our 11th year, we've come to the conclusion that we love this sport. We have lost two dear friends in the last week and a half, and we're diminished by it, but we have made so many friends in this sport that we have gained far much more than we have lost. Even when I hooked my fat ass into the ground, Lynn supported me, nursed me back to health and was as pleased as I was when I got back into the air months before the docs said I would be able to. She rocks. We've done a lot of things in skydiving -- run manifest, loaded planes, worked on jumpmaster rating (remember those), driven busses, arranged boogies, owned a gear store, been general flunkies and just acted as explainers to the many wuffos who came to watch people jump out of perfectly good airplanes; but most of all, we have met people from all over the world who share our love for this thing we call skydiving. Despite that bad things we've seen and endured, the memories we have stored away in the last 10 plus years are ones we will cherish long into our dotage. There is a reason skydivers are generous with hugs and kisses, we share a common bond, even if we can't stand each other once in a while. Thank you all. Did I mention that my wife rocks?

Jake, Lewmonst is not only a featured photographer, she's a featured jumper too, along with her mother, Cajones, and a few others....

No, I think there was a bit of a mixed message there (the shuttle is not scheduled to launch until at least 22 May), but Shannon Pilcher was describing how Gus filmed his team in a diamond formation during a launch a few years back and how Gus landed screaming at the top of his lungs about how cool it was. It was the only time Shannon had ever seen Gus exhibit that much emotion and it is a memory he will cherish. As will the rest of us now that he shared it. I just read the rest of the thread about the Titan launch and understand the confusion, though.

Count me in on that. I've also read the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. People who ride with me say that I get from place to place on the same principle as Dirk. I've got all the "increasingly inaccurately named" HHGTTG trilogy books. I thought they were all about perspective. Getting you to think about things by looking at them from a different angle, rather than just arguing a point. The other books were mostly just entertaining reading. Ah yes. "It was an act of God, but which God? What God would be hanging around Heathrow trying to catch the 3:37 to Oslo?"
