    1:13:5 Great weekend at Couch Freaks even though the winds didn't fully cooperate with my plans. 13 jumps, firsts include, first jump at Couch Freaks, first Skyvan, first Hot Air Balloon, first jump on new Sabre2 150, first jump on new Spectre 150. Fortunately, the beer was cheap at Couch Freaks, so I just bought everybody a couple rounds at the beer truck. Great weekend, great boogie!

    Just go to Skydive Mesquite. It's a much better DZ and they'll have the Caravan back on October 15. The travel time difference is negligible. You'll be much more satisfied with Mesquite. Hell, you'll probably even have fun there! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    My Neptune is pretty loud (when it's working). A Couple of things. Make sure you have the audible in your helmet so the back of the altimeter faces your ear. That's the side that has the speaker. Theres a small hole with a copper color in it (that's the speaker). Also, with Z1s there's usually fabric or padding that is between your ear and the audible and it makes it less loud. The more direct path between your ear and the hole (speaker) in the back, the louder it will be. Hope that helps.

    I sent a Neptune back for a cracked LCD a while ago. Had a new one for about 10 jumps, now it is wigging out registering all kinds of altitudes. It goes from 32000 ft to -27000 feet in a second and registers temps at -163 F on the ground. That's pretty damn cold. Last Skydive from 10K it registered 1900 with 0 freefall. I've owned the Neptune for about 200 jumps and actually been able to use it on 50 or so. This is getting old fast! One more chance then I'm off to Pro-Track land. Gotta go. Have to send in my Neptune......again. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    I will be to LP. Most of the others I've been to and they are cool. Gotta spend some time in the tunnel here and catch up with some old friends, demo a new canopy, then on to LP. See you there for sure! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    So, I spent the weekend at Skydive Mesquite and since I'm on leave until the first of August, I figured, screw it, I'm going to Perris. So here I am in the Bomb Shelter drinking a few beers, waiting for the sun to come up. Who wants to come make some jumps. I'll be here a couple days. I know it's not a weekend but come out. Let's make some jumps. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Hey John, Thanks. I'm sure it won't be too long before I find my way back there. I'll let you know when I head that way. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    As promised, here's my new Odyssey and my some better pics of the older Jav. And for those that think tie-dye is ugly, that's ok, I didn't order it for them! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Yep, that was somethin' all right. It took me a good 2 minutes to get Kelly's attention to video me picking my nose, but he finally got around to it. That was wild. It was a good time. We'll do it again some time. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Oh, it's getting close now. Went out Wednesday and got 7 jumps for a little warmup. Saw the new rig, but it wasn't together yet, but it will be for Friday. Now crossing my fingers for the weather on Friday. Saturday and Sunday look good though. Oh, and I do have the lobsters taken care of. See you there!

    Hehe. I was just kidding. They should have my new rig there by now, so that's one of the first places I'm stopping anyway. Really, I was just looking for a way to use the "get me two" line though. Anyway, see you there! I'll be the guy with a smile on my face that looks like he was just released from prison.....er.....I mean Korea!

    19:0:0 19 more hours til I get on a plane out of Korea forever (hopefully)!!! Can't wait to meet up with my new rig that shipped last Monday. Guess I timed that about right. Oh, and the boogie this weekend at Ogden to boot. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    I'd love to, but I'm in Korea for 5 more days. I love your DZ, Snake River Skydiving rocks! When I get back I'm taking a month and a half leave. We'll be by to make a few jumps. Can't make this boogie though, I'm already committed for this weekend. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Snowbird in Utah has some good heli skiing too. Also, Solitude and Brighton do snowcat skiing. It's not in a helicopter but gets you to the untracked stuff just the same. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Oh, yeah, he did it right??! (He's from Michigan) Did you know their director of player personnel is from Ontario, Canada? Their GM from PA? And their other executives from Michigan? Again, I ask, what do people in Florida know about winter sports? Stir, stir, stir......lol Oh, by the way, congrats to the Lightning.
