See,I told you I can't quit posting.I Think I'm becomeing a post whore.Oh we;; as long as it pays good,I guess I can hoe myself out for jump money.

Eh,I'm a cheap drunk so it does'nt cost musch for me.

Well,I told my boss all I want is to be able to pay my child support on time,make my truck payment and have jump money on the weekends

I'm alreeady considering moveing but the bad thing is,is that i've been in the same field for the past 10 years so even if i switch jobs i'll still be doing the same thing.

I need help,I'm drunk and I've got to go to work tommorow and I keep posting replys.Am I starting to become a drunken post whore or is it just residual excitement from making my 1st solo jump today?I would go to rehab but I dn't want to quit.even though I have to keep retyping everything cause the letters on my keyboard keep moving around.I'm at the point of drunkiness right now that my teeth are tingling.

Depends on what i'm drinking.if it's beer i can start a buzz after 3-4.if it's shots then it takes no time and if the 2 are combined then I typically end up praying to ther tidy bowl man before the night is over.

I believe Bob said the van is there on the 1st,2nd and 4th weekend every month.Come on down.I met Wingnut today and even got a meal out of it.Look forward to see you there.I'll be there this weekend for sure.I should be there on Sunday around 9 or 10 depending on what traffic is like when I get off work.

I did the same thing last weekend.I did'nt check my alti nearly enough.and on my docking I looked like I was on ice sliding in sideways.funny to watch the vid of it.then I had no track at all.I had to repeat the jump and did a little better on the 2nd attempt.But I still have alot of work and learning to go.Then there's always something new to learn.I got quite a bit of advise around the DZ today,a little on everything from dives to taking care of gear.(thanks for the advice Grant).

I also forgot to mention that I ordered my rig today. Dolphin D-4 Pd Specter 230 Pd reserve 218 Cypres Bev Suit and a Protrac It was all stock ordered so that will cut my wait time to a coupla weeks so I'll owe more BEER!But I'll jump it all at once so I'll only have to pay once

Actually today was the most relaxed I have been since starting aff.you can look back at the posts and see some of the nerve problems I was having.Thanks to all the guys at the DZ,with their help I was able to overcome that prob and relax a little.now I can't wait till next weekend.

you should see the video that Derick took of me last weekend.If you want a good laugh I'll show it to ya.Hell,even I got a few laughs myself from watching it.

Well I owe BEER!I made my 1st and yes I said FIRST solo jump today.It was a truly awesome feeling.I only got to make 2jumps today because the winds decided I had had enough even though I felt differant.Oh well I'm off this weekend.So,guess where I'll be this weekend.

2 on fri 0 on sat(had to work)and 2 today. And wingnut,what's wrong with those of us just off student? BTW thanks for the cookout today.The food was good.

I like mine as tight as I can get them.I've still got a burn mark on my leg from a hard opening . the strap caused a friction burn and hurt for a coupla weeks afterwards.I learned my lesson on making sure my straps are tight.

I made my first tandem at Raeford in NC but now I call Skydive The Rockies home

well the subject line says it all.it's a beautiful day and i'm stuck at work.why is it that when i'm at work it's nice and sunny with clear blues skies and then when i get off work it's overcast with high winds.why am i being punished like this.I'm a good boy(most of the time) I don't deserve weather like this when i'm at work.why can't it be the opposite?Hopefully tommorow will be like today.

and the voices are saying go to bed.even though it's only 8:30,4;00 COMES EARLY IN THE MORNING

I jumped with Derick today.I've nothing but encouraging words from everybody at the DZ.I'll be there sunday after I get off work.

I'm listening to the voices in my head

Well, I went to the DZ today after I got off work this morning.After hanging out for a little while I went up for my level 7 jump.I got the front loopt with no problem but was unable to dock or track because of my legs were all over the place.Anyway I landed way short of the pit.I debriefed and went back up.Well, all I can say is...... I'm now cleared for solo and coach dives.A coupla more weekends like this one and I'll have my A lic before the end off the year.I can't go tommorow but I'll be heading to the DZ just as soon as I get off work sun. morning.WOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm working as always.24hr shift.I get off at 0700 tommorow

And what's wrong with us students?

I want someone that I can spend the rest of my life with.

Well, as some of you have read in the past I was having some problems with letting my nerves get the best of me and was'nt able to jump because of it.Weeeell, I went to the DZ saturday on what turned out to be a beautiful daydespite wht the weather man said.I got there late because right when I was walking out the door the phone rang and my dumb ass answered it.It turned out to be my ex wife and after listeing to hear gripe for about a hr(I know I should have Hung Up)I got to leave.Get to the DZ(SkyDive The Rockies!)and watch people getting ready for 4 ways and 5 ways and I think to myself how lucky they are that they don't listen to that little voice inside their heads and jump anyway.So anyways I'm hanging out for a coupla hrs and one of the instructors(Duey,really cool guy) asks if I'm ready to go,So I say that we might as well.So I gear up and am waiting for the next load.SO,while waiting another instructor(Derrick,another really cool one,evreybody there is way cool)Says that we are on the next load and we go over the dive flow.After that he looks at me and says"There is no riding the plane back down" with a smile on his face while saying this.Which my reply was if you have to drag me out then do it.So,we head out to the caravan and load up.we get on last since we are the first to go.On the way to alti I'm scared shitless but Derrick really helped me to relax.Get to alti and the door goes up and so does my anxiety.I started breathing so fast I felt like I was going to black out.Got to the edge of the door and looked over at Derrick gave the count and out the door I went.I was unstalbe fro the exit.My mind was screaming ARCH!ARCH!ARCH! but my body was'nt listening.I finally got stable aqnd did a backloop.then went unstable again.got back into my arch and did a right 360 and overshot a little then went for a left 360 got close to 180 then noticed that I was right at 6k so stopped all manuvers waved off at 5k and pulled at 4.5k.Beautiful ride down and had a stand up landing.Was so excited that I walked back to the hanger instead of riding the trk back.I went back to the DZ today but did'nt get to jump because of weather.I can't thank the guys at the DZ enough for helping me get through the nerve problems.Those guys are the coolest.I can't wait till the weather clears and I can get back in the air.

I had a 5 star a coupla weekends ago I was fine till the shots started.Then went to work with about a hr and a half sleep.I swear I think I was still drunk when I was driving to work.Luckily I only ran 2 calls the entire 24 hr shift so I was able to sleep it off.
