Unfortunately, my team was once again adversely impacted by the Coriolis effect and gyroscopic precession. Next year is another year, though. Two quick shots of a 2nd place team member and the team captain of the first place team. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Matt, look me up. I'll make sure you get in some formations. Heard Skyone and KatieBear might be there. Should be fun. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The reason I will bring my full-face helmet. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Was teaching a college pre-calc course and showed them a video of some guy doing an eight second delay during Bridge Day (open, splash) and told them to compute the height of the bridge. Naturally they assumed a perfect world (Kids!) and came up a little short, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

If we have the people, I'll be more than happy to set something up. Might be more likely to get a 16-way hybrid together than a straight RW load. Be flexible and nonjudgmental, but a little mental. See you there. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

From the chart: I believe they have it reversed in their example. Shouldn't it be 1.5:1? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Round 1. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Drove six plus hours yesterday and had a great time. Met a buttload of people and jumped with five; Skyone, Katiebear21, eeneR, SkydiverBrian, PLFKing. Had a great jump and several of the things we did on that jump looked vaguely like things done during the dirt dive. Were the winds honking? I did a 270 degree riser turn and stopped dead as soon as I came out of it. Swoop? Not. Consensus winner of the "Most Likely To Wet His Pants With Excitement" award goes to CanuckinUSA, who didn't think he was going to get a Florida jump, but did. I think he said first jump at sea-level, too. Need I bold more? Congrats. Also learned yesterday that when you set up a tent, never use the crescent wrench hammer when you need the 2X4 hammer. Skymama and Stacey have tentis envy. Truly for them, size does matter. Will post head shots of people with as many names as I can remember. Will take a while. I am on a dial-up connection. It was either the PC-110 or a T-1 line. I have my priorities. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Define "early". Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I bet I have you both beat. Wonder if they can check it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

John, I jumped my Vengeance out there in June (Where were you, bruddah?) and it was very stable. Didn't land in the slot and still did just fine. Definitely a good ride. I'm loading it at about 1.6:1.0 and it was sweet. It's a lot of fun on no wind days, too, not that you ever get those out there. If I move back, I would think about getting something smaller, though. When you know you are going to face 15 - 20 mph winds 80% of the time, you want to be prepared for it. Right now, plans are to come back in March. Hope to see you then. round, meeker, donut, bipole, hollywood Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Can I get some specifics for those of us who are jumping there for the first time: What kind of airplane we jumping? Chance of a form load if we fill more than one plane? Do you take credit cards? Is there a surcharge for credit cards? Will you take a check? Will you take a check from me? Why should I trust someone who will take a check from me? Can you literally bring beer to the DZ, or do you have to buy it from "the guy who makes his living selling beer at the DZ"? (Already got spanked for that one elsewhere.) Should I expect to give the LO's a dollar for every load they O? (Don't mind doing it, just looking for a heads up. Ditto on the spankage.) Can I give you power of attorney to fill out my waiver for me so I don't have to waste time doing it Saturday? I know some the answer to some of these will be on your website, but that is several clicks away from where I am sitting now, and I just don't want to reach over and get the mouse from here. Mahalo, Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Drink up. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
