Are they made from real girl scouts? Be nice to today's Girl Scouts - they are tomorrow's cookies! ________________________________________

I call mine a "release pin". My now-hubby had it made for me as a divorce present. Out of my first marriage's wedding bands! Not a Faux Pas on your part - just upitty rudeness by those others who think they are better than you 'cuz they (maybe) have more jumps. Just remember, you may be that jumper one day, and don't repeat the cycle when you meet a new jumper. ________________________________________

OK - is someone on Spring Break!??! NO FAIR!! I'm still woiking.. ________________________________________

That... is funny. Whole new meaning to Spring Thaw. ________________________________________

Bing! "Welcome home from North Carolina. Please return your stomach to it's flat, not-so-full postion and report to AA immediately. Thanks for flying your gear in for a visit. Come back with that crappy weather any time. And bring your own cookies." ________________________________________

I had a PC in tow last Oct. Internal dialog provided. It went like this: EP #1: cut away first. I missed the cutaway handle - I probably didn't torque it, just pulled straight, which we all know doesn't work with velcro. EP #2: pull silver handle before cutting away - I don't want to try anything twice at terminal until I'm out of options (then I'll try that last one as many times at it takes!). Get something out there. Pam to main canopy: "Please don't come out, please don't come out. Crap. It's coming out." EP #3: fly two canopies in stacked configuration… … fly two canopies in side-by-side configuaration… EP #4: Cut away main on two-out situation after main was quite set on downplaning with my reserve. Main cut away, and thankfully did so cleanly. Lesson - ALWAYS have a back-up plan to the back-up plan to the back-up plan. The discussions of EP's for PC in tow and two-out gave me the knowledge I needed to make the decisions when I needed them most. It also prepared me for possible outcomes of each action, so I knew what to look for BEFORE it happened, which gave me more time and awareness as the situation developed. I didn’t get surprised, so I was able to stay calm and in control. Relatively speaking. Have your plan, but know what your options are, in case you need those too! I needed two ways to handle two different emergencies in one skydive to land safely. Pam ________________________________________

Kat - It was fab to see you! You really should come around CSS more often. I still don't think I have an actual skydive with you yet - just dirt diving Come see us over the 4th of July. Mary won't be allowed to come though. She makes the weather suk and bad things happen to my family... Pam ________________________________________

Wow - am I glad she didn't find the Tagalongs in the pantry or the thin mints in the freezer this weekend... Whew! ________________________________________

Take care, Andrea. Wrists heal great - you'll back in the air in NO TIME!! {{{{{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}}}

Hmmm, Well, we do have to fly south anyway... And I only saw Blue and Minxx tails... Definitely not the others'.. Really? In the background, eh?? Well, I do notice that [bold]someone[/bold] hasn't been back for a while to see what all the suckers are saying... ________________________________________

Fox sighting can happen tonight - look for a blonde who's butt hasn't appreared here before. I'll look for it later... Second Fox sighting might happen Fri night or Sat if VFR flying is good this weekend. If that happens you'll only be missing one Fox Butt from your portfolio... That one, by the way, should be renamed "my lips are sealed cuz I don't wanna suck" smiley. the defense to: ready to suck smiley Rox ________________________________________

Seeing as how they always have the psychotic extremes on the show, is this really something we want to help Fox with? We try so hard to "make a good impression" with our sport, and this show totally makes every type of person look as bad as possible. We'll never keep fooling them if we put it out there for real. ________________________________________

That is slick! I forgot to make note of exactly where, but it was after adding successfully - returning to the calendar went to the old one. Pam ________________________________________

OMG - the clock is ticking!! ahem... *bump*-y brothers need a hand!! ________________________________________

Love ya girlie!!! Hugs to your sweet Rose... Pammy ________________________________________

It was only a matter of time what with the freaks at Maytown and all. Looks like an Otter in the background, though, where were you playing? ________________________________________

Yippee!! Me too. Who knows, maybe we'll see each other before then. Mar & I will be in NJ in July, ya know, that's not to terribly far away for you... ________________________________________

And you were complaining that I wasn't telling you?? Two out, 2 in BTW. Got this exit from Chris and Rodney and Beez folks. Pretty standard. ISC has to do the work to get it to fly. Cheers! ________________________________________

Still wish you were in sunny Florida? So much for hating that cold weather, eh? Pam ________________________________________

Where's Minxxy - We have a cameraperson who could actually medal with us - now all we need's a few years of 4 training!!!

Yeah, Minxx and I were on the phone this weekend remembering how much stuff we've forgotten in just a coupla month!! YIKES! Plus, you would proably get better (or the same!) version we have where you're at.

OOoo, excellent! Randy loves a big I class, and, hey - you might get your NSL championship jumps paid! I hope your first Monday Morning in civie life is going well. Satellite, hmmm, I dunno, I just give the count and then close my eyes. ________________________________________

Congrats, Tim. I'm sure you'll do just fine, as long as Mouth isn't the only one giving you training. Good to see you at the meeting a coupla weeks ago. Hope to see ya soon! Pam ________________________________________
