    I got 120 on the first test. I gave up on the second one, my head hurts now.

    Of all the times I got it, the one that stands out is when my Dad picked me up by the shirt and pants and through me out the back door like a pail of water. I don't remember what caused it but I remember the second or two of freefall before I landed in the yard.

    Try equilizing by holding your nose and gently blowing out once you are under canopy. I have also had some discomfort at differant times. It seams to be worse if I haven't jumped in a while.

    I had a seventh grade social studies teacher who repeatedly put her hand through the glass top of the overhead projecter in fits of rage. In high school. My best friends father was a drivers ed, shop, mechanical drawing teacher. He had a drinking problem and often taught D.E. smelling like beer. He's now retired and I still see him almost weekly and he is truly a basket case. The principle in high school was in the fire department and the fire hall was right accrost the road from school. Every time the siren blew he would run accrost the lawn and jump on the truck.

    Hey don't feal bad, just try again. I hated my first jump, a tandem, but after a few days it sunk in that I had done the best thing of my life and was to stupid to realise it. The next week I was in AFF. Now I still beat myself up after I screw up a jump, but I always have fun.

    I plan on doing it some day, it's one of my skydiving goals. I however have a 400 acre back yard and if I need an out the front yard is 200 acres. For now listen to what Jimmytavino says. He is a very wise man.

    Well I like to jump from planes, and I grow stuff for a living.

    I've spent around 3% of my income on skydiving this year. Wish I had the time to spend more...

    The fire radio. There's a house fire in the next town over from here and I'm waiting for them to call us. I want to drive the pumper tonight.

    With winter coming I'll have to say snowmobile. When we've got the snow I ride with my buddies almost every night. Last year I put around 1500 mi. on the sled. Funny before skydiving came along I always had money to buy a new sled every year, now mine is three years old. In the summer I work almost all the time so I can sneak away on Sundays to jump. If I can I try to take in a couple tractor pulls during the summer. I'm also a volunteer firefighter so I spend a fair amount of time with that.

    You could cuddle and f$#@. There is a reason why nine mounths after a blizzard, ice storm, or power outage in the winter the birth rate goes up.

    *** A skydiver who paralyzed himself jumping at my dropzone was treated badly by the staff at a major rehab center. He managed to stand up and walk months after the doctors told him he would never walk again. The staff at the center actually told him that he was no hero because he had hurt himself "screwing around" and it was the people who hurt themselves working or in car wrecks that were the real heros. I can't believe that they would act that way. When an injury like that happens it is life-changing regardless of how it happened. Would it have been any different if he had done it in a car wreck driving to the dropzone? Yeh like the drunk drivers and kids screwing around in there cars are real heros.

    I love going to jump other places. I've only got to do it a couple times so far but hope to do more of it over the next year. Don't get me wrong I love my home DZ and have no problems with it. It's just nice to get to jump different planes, see new scenery, and meet new people. I think it's one of the things that I like most about this sport is being able to travel around to other DZs and see the world in a way that few others do.
