I'm with skymama!

Purple is my fav color

Will do, sounds like you will be around this weekend then?

hmm...what a very nice offer. We'll see

dammit, I'm not packed. Sending PM....

Me too!! Who would have thunk it?

Is Pedro there?

hey Katie~ I miss you sweetie, I hope all is well with you

I was so fooled the first year I went during Memorial Day back in 2003. It was like 80 degrees and pretty good winds, I got a lot of great jumps in. Last year seemed to be a more accurate reflection of Spring weather in Twin Falls. BUT, did get to check out the city a bit more. So with that being said, I'm going again this year! Arriving in TF on 05/25, should be in time for at least one sunset jump and leaving on 05/30. There are 5 of us REPRESENTIN from Michigan

sorry, but I am not very entertaining

yeah Cocheese! Now get your ass out to the dz and JUMP!! You are missing some good times. 300 photos were taken last weekend...BUT they are totally top secret.

The recent Coke commercial is running around my head. I can't make it stop 'Put the lime in the coke, you nut....'

Very nice!

If you've landed way off under bigger canopies, it's due to poor spotting and/or poor canopy control skills. Don't blame the wingloading. Also wanted to add that if you are not able to make it back under a big canopy in windier conditions, then maybe that is an indicator that it is too windy for you to jump. My exit weight is about the same as yours. I still clearly remember the student days and sub 100 jump days and jumping a Manta 288 and Raider 220's for many jumps and not getting a lot of penetration and at times, going backwards. Definately not a safe feeling at all. Sure, I could have downsized sooner, but I didn't feel my canopy skills were good enough yet for a smaller canopy, so instead I would not jump in certain wind conditions. It definately meant I was on the ground more, but downsizing just to be able to jump when it is windier does not seem like the correct answer. Edited to add: obviously this is just my experience, your experiences may be different then mine have been. But just wanted to bring up this observation.

hey Kim! I'm so glad you took the leap and loved it so much! I'm happy to hear that we will be seeing you soon too .

Congrats! That is wonderful news!

I agree! I wish I had some photos of me when I started. Actually I still don't have any freefall photos!!

Katee girly, I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care of yourself!!

I'm going to plant some flowers around my trailer at the DZ. I want to make my weekend home puuurty

An article I wrote was published in the Safety Day section--under Skydive Tecumseh. The photo was courtesy of Brian Williams aka Goatboy

Laurel and William, be strong, you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow, that is way cool, what a great view! We look at a lot of corn fields here in Michigan

As much as I hate to admit it. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

Happy b-day. I hope you have a wonderful day!!

There are a few Mongo's in Michigan, very yummy!!! I'm not the greatest at creating my own though, but it usually works out ok
