    I am learning more about family love after losing my mother last week! I would normally miss a lot of these things to go jump or something. My priorities have changed! Do not let someone else shit on your parade. I spent over an hour on the phone tonight with Tommy Thompsons widow(see incidents). Joe and I know that I made her week!!!!! That made my week after losing my mother.

    For others their priorities change. Relationships start or end, jobs come and go. Money gets tight or studdenly have more surplus. Families are started or grow. Friends get hurt or die. There are 1001+ reasons to get started skydiving and there are 1002+ reasons to quit. I had issues when I looked back at the money I've spent last year and realized at that point total on everything I had spent $7300+ on gear and $16,000+ on jump tickets in the last 4 years. Figure in my student training and everything else I had spent about $25,000 jumping. Thats a hell of a downpaymet on a house or car I could have made. ----------------------------------- Phree, In the last 4 years I have made 2025 jumps,bought 5 rigs(1 new), bought 9 canopies(3 new), 2 new Oxygn A3's and a Sidewinder, three RW suits, Sony pc 9, 2 cypres'. Just averaging the the jumps at $18 thats $36,450 not including gear! Ouch, why did you make me add that up Also not including travel, Airspeed tunnel camp, state record jumps,misc............

    I went from a Crossfire 1-99 to a Xaos 21-85 then to a Xaos 27-79. I demoed Velocity 79 before buying the Xaos. I love the Xaos 27, great openings but it really likes to be loaded. I am 190ish out the door with lead and have about 1000 X-braced jumps. I also demoed the 83 XVX and thought it much too twitchy and lousy openings. The Xaos has much lighter front riser pressure than the Velo but harder rears. Precision will make whatever size you want. Also did not like the Velo openings.

    High: Seeing the sunshine after the rain and tornados we saw the last many days. Knowing that a lot of people really do care alot about me. Low: Losing Mom last week. Knowing that the rain is coming back with a vengeance again this afternoon for a while before clearing again.

    I thought I was pretty much over the emotional roller coaster of losing my mother last week. I called Lisa "Mouth" last night and opened the flood gates again. I am not an emotionless rock that I sometimes pretend to be for self preservation and she let me know pretty quick. Thanks Lisa, I needed that.

    To know my mom was to know a smile that wouldn't quit. She was happy to be at the DZ with my niece and nephew. She is going to do her skydive with me and friends over Sugar Creek Country Club on her 70th birthday! It was her wish. Her house is on the 8th hole and we should be able to land right in front of the house!

    The memorial service for my mom was wonderful yesterday thank in no small part to my doctor. I called and he got me a script for some unknown anti-anxiety pills that worked like a champ! My brother got up and gave a 10 minute eulogy of our mothers life that was just incredible. The church was filled beyond seating capacity! Only 3 of my jumper friends were able to make it but 3 O'clock on a Friday afternoon isn't the easiest thing to make. There was a wonderful BBQ and booze party following at Dad's house. Thanks to Rich, Rich and Leahe for taking the time off to be there.
