I'd jump if I could, but tomorrow is the dreaded Monday and I have school and work and my dz isn't open during the weekdays! Besides that my internet at home has been down this past week, so I missed all of the "excitement"! Someone fill me in! ~skysprite

So does mine, dude. It is because we are the undead. Nobody ever said being a zombie was gonna be easy... That's true. I guess our unlifes actually suck, when you really think about it? If your unlife sucks, then my life should unsuck, right? ~skysprite

You mean you don't want to be taken advantage of by gorgeous naked skinny dipping women? Put your name down anyway asshat ~skysprite

That certainly can be arranged! ~skysprite

Okay, figure I may as well try to get a list pulled together since we're two weeks out! How many and which dz.commers are gonna grace us with their presence at Skydive NM's water boogie?! And don't forget, there will be hot chicks skinny dipping afterhours!! Anyone gonna need to try to get a ride to/from the airport etc.? The List skysprite "The Usual SDNM Crew" ~skysprite

0:0:0 Skydive NM's 17th Annual Water Boogie coming up in two weeks! Been doing a lot of work getting ready for that, and trying to save money so I can do a few jumps. Got a pretty sweet raffle pulled together for the boogie! ~skysprite

You scare me sometimes. ~skysprite

Phase one of my plan complete. Good work lil cricket fellas! Now onto phase two! That sucks dude. ~skysprite

Excellent movie! I really enjoyed it too. ~skysprite

Stevia's great! Agreed that you should get the good stuff! Doesn't take anywhere near as much stevia than sugar to sweeten stuff either. ~skysprite

It's fun! ~skysprite

FREAK! *edit* Do I really need to add a disclaimer saying this isn't a personal attack? Y'all know Grue's one of my favorite punching bags. ~skysprite

Just got the latest email update! ----------------- Here’s what I know so far: The Boogie fee is $25. It covers the cost of boat and airplane fuel, a concession fee, manifest’s slot and other expenses. Bring your own food, water, Gatorade, whatever; plan to be self sufficient for the whole weekend. The club is not going to provide water or Gatorade like we did last year. Bring plenty to drink, it gets very hot midday and there isn’t much shade. Glass containers are not allowed on the beach. Bring sunscreen, a wide brimmed hat, bug repellent and anything else you need to be comfortable for a hot day at the beach. Laurie Wilson, Chris Holmes, Amanda Bolton, and a few other people celebrating their FIRSTS are chipping in for two pony kegs. Patrick said he is bringing a pony keg of Shiner. We should be good on beer, please get with Chris or Laurie if you wish to celebrate a first. They expect folks to chip in $15 which is about what a case of beer would cost you. We should offset Patrick’s cost out of that fund as well. We are going to set up a “beer garden” between manifest and the restrooms to centralize the rowdy activity, don’t camp near there if you want quiet. It would be nice if someone brought Christmas or rope lights to light that area at night. The designated “quiet area” (AKA the GZ: Geezer zone) is southeast of the road, in shelters 111-113. Please stay away from there after sunset! We will have limited electrical power at “base camp” and will have a couple of long extension cords. If you have a bug zapper, bring it. It would also be nice if anyone has a “boom box” with PA (public address) capability and a microphone. We are going to have a “gathering” in the beer garden 8pm Saturday night to present Harvey’s student of the year award, have a brief remembrance ceremony for Don Towner and Harvey Buskirk, have the raffle drawing and pass “Jumper #1” around. Jumper #1 is a bottle of Skyy vodka that we use as a WDI (wind drift indicator) on the first load of the boogie. We chuck it out of the plane at about 500’ with a small parachute over the beach LZ. Mike Astle has agreed to provide the vodka and we may do another one Saturday morning. I think it would be more fun if everyone tells a joke before taking their sip of Jumper #1. Mad Mac is “load organizer” for a naked bonfire jump; we’re going to streak the bonfire(s), let me know if you want a “slot.” It’s OK to wear your undies if you’re shy, I insist you wear shoes of some sort. The “bonfire jump” will be later at night after all the kids go to bed. If you have any talents you want to show off to entertain the group, you may do so at the gathering after the “formal” ceremonies. Make sure your reserve is in date! Danny will be checking gear repack dates. He will also assist you with proper AAD settings. There is about a 250’ difference in elevation between the LZ and the airport. Your AAD must be turned on at the airport and adjusted for the elevation difference to avoid an accidental firing of your AAD. Your altimeters will not read zero when you are taking off at the airport, set them on zero at the landing area. The club is not trying to arrange balloon jumps. HOWEVER, several members of the Wicker Clan have expressed interest in taking jumpers up. It will be a bit too warm for them to get good lift so if it happens, you will be lucky to get 3,000’. These are very complicated jumps, especially so close to the water and you better plan them carefully! Perhaps an intentional water landing from a balloon using a static line or, a BASE type exit is the safest option. You will need to coordinate with a very good ground/water crew and all the planning is up to you. SNM instructors may advise you but don’t expect much help as we are going to be very busy. ----------------- Also, we're getting pretty close to the boogie so unless I get a last minute donation or two, this is everything we have up for raffle! ----------------- It's like making 15 FREE skydives... in a row... with NO PACKING... (or having to smell someone's rotten butt fumes on the way up!!!)
