I was going to see it at midnight, but my boyfriend spoiled my fun. So I'm going to see it tomorrow evening! I can't wait!

25:0:0 Got 25 loads up out of our little cessna DZ this weekend! C'mon now, that's exciting! That's better than many of our summer weekends! Didn't feel well on Saturday and did manifest on Sunday so no jumpy for me. Maybe this weekend I'll get a couple in! ~skysprite

Post pics of dropzone dogs! We have a few regulars, though this is one of the cutest. He's also the biggest pain in the ass because he's currently not potty trained. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he went and peed on his owner's risers (teaches the owner to pack right away and not leave his rig lying around!) then after getting reprimanded, ten minutes later he goes back and pees on his owners canopy! Anyway, this is Cloudy Blue, aka Cloudy for short. ~skysprite

Ooooo. It's a new Vector 3, new custom Sabre 2-190 and a PDR 176 reserve. It was just killin' me to leave it with Danny, the rigger, yesterday ! Ah well. Next weekend! We will attempt the sit-fly! We will attempt the graceful, flared landing ! And we will try to get 190 square feet of what feels like oiled Slip'n Slide into the deployment bag ! shall Which day are you going to be out? I have GOT to see this! Seriously though, that's awesome!! I'll be manifesting on Saturday, so you need to go then! ~skysprite

Bastard! Mine's in, but won't be packed and ready 'til next weekend. Have fun, man ! shall I didn't know you got a new rig! What'd ya get? ~skysprite

Congratulations! Sweeeet! ~skysprite
