    I can't wait to get back out to Tecumseh this weekend, it has been a long two weeks of no jumping down here in Mexico. See you all on Saturday.

    I am a corporate finance manager for a manufacturing company and normally work about 50 hours a week with spikes up to the 60 - 70 range depending on time of month and year. 40 hour weeks are very rare.

    Skydive Tecumseh is definitely my home DZ. I learned there through the AFF program and just recently received my coach rating there. It is my home away from home on the weekends. I will really miss the dropzone and all my friends there when I move to Mexico in July. It is fun to jump elsewhere, but I really enjoy my weekends in Tecumseh.

    Does anyone have any information on the dropzone Paracaidismo Celaya in Guanajuato, Mexico? The profile in the dropzone database here on DZ.com lists it as a C-182 dropzone. I have sent an e-mail and it did not bounce, but I did not receive a reply. I am going to be moving down to Guanajuato in the area of Leon/Silao and would love to to be able to jump without having to travel out of the state. Any information on this dropzone would be much appreciated.

    Skydive Tecumseh

    DownWind reviewed fgersch's dropzone in Michigan

    Skydive Tecumeh is where I learned to jump through the AFF program back in 2003. It has been my home dropzone since. The staff and jumpers are all very friendly and helpful. I would suggest that anyone in the area who skydives or is interested in learning should make it a point to visit Skydive Tecumseh.

    He mentioned in an interview after the race that he woudl get back into ofroad mororcycle riding and wanted to learn to kite board. There are also rumors flying around about him getting into politics. He did a phenomoenal job at winning 7 Tours de France. I personnally believe if he was not retiring that he would have a shot at winning 8.

    Pete, Glad you weren't hurt worse, sounds like a really close call. You should still stop out at the DZ to hang out. Marty, Count me in for the scrambles. We may have been in last place last year, but I had a great time.

    Germany's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger is the 265th Pope. He took the name Pope Benedict the 16th.
