/8/a case at least!!!! Finally I am able to post some numbers on this thread!!

I woke up at 4 am and said to myself: What the f#!* am I doing in eloy? I could kill myself. I am an idiot. I will never figure this all out. And then a wonderful friend of mine called me and told me that I was spending a freaking lot of money not to be having fun. You know what? He was right!! So this is what I did today: -Made the first load of the day. -Did a backflip in the air. -Did my first solo exit, and even though I tumbled out, was able to right myself no problem. -Turned, turned, turned. 90's. 360s. And threw in some 375's because I got a little too rambunctious with the speed of my turns. -Did a second solo exit and it was perfect. Got stable at 13,000, thought my altimeter was broken, so I tapped it. duh!! -Tracked. -Did some perfect PLF's and one almost standup landing (but in the tumbleweeds. Boy do I owe the packers here lots and lots of money.) And the best part is, I remembered to have fun doing it and not worry about the fact that I am RETARDED and cannot figure out the damn landing pattern to save my life. I am one jump short of getting off of student status. If I hadn't gone to lunch, I'd have made it. The winds kicked up and we were grounded. I have awesome bruises on my upper arms and I look like someones been manhandling me. I wanted to go to Walmart with my friend Troy and have him yell, "Woman, shut up or you'll get what's coming to you!!" My only snag is the rig is so damn wide on me that I have a terrible time flaring all of the way. (Yes, that's an important problem to overcome). Thus my shaky landings. I figure I'll get stronger as I go and if I do only one practice flare that saves a little strength for landing. What a big wuss I am. But I'm a wuss that's having fun, so woo hoo!! To my friends in Colorado, skydiver, tunnel rats and whuffos, I miss you bunches and thanks for all your emails and text messages. I have the best friends in the world.

Please let Troy know how sorry we all are that he does not have a package Winds Blow, but dont sweat it Von you will get your tunr, and it's better to do it when conditions are good

Hey all, here's an update. Troy has had two jumps, both decent landings, one PLF. Gusts are now above 16 miles per hour, one at 19, so we are grounded. Of course this happened just as I finished ground school. I have one thing to say. FUCK. Sorry, but I am soooooo disappointed. Still hoping to get a jump in today. Come on wind gods, be nice.

Gotta print this out! Thanks for concise, well-written info.

nah, youll learn more the bon-fire the longer you are here.... heres a translation for that first number If theres a number and its a dude - hes lying to make it look like he got some If theres a number and its a chick - shes lying to make it look like she got less

It's for revealing whether or not you got any this weekend, and if so, how many times.

I just saw this on another sight and wanted to post it here. Somebody beat me to it! I loved this video. And I'm making a sign tomorrow.

Bolas, the 2nd pic of you is awesome~best costume ever!! Thank GOD you cut your hair short again.

Now that I think about it, what do you mean stay sane? You jump out of airplanes, don't you?

Woo Hoo! Way to rock your goal! Congratulations

No, but you can definately learn new skills that will carry over. So next spring you don't feel like you're back to square one.

Time for the wind tunnel......

The way it was reported when I heard it, Bush is the one who noticed. He leaned over to his Secret Services and said, "Apparently not a fan." Although if there were children on the bus, I can understand being fired for innapropriate gestures, regardless of who the flippee is.

I was carded two weeks ago when out with my friends (all of whom were still in their twenties). I looked at the guy and said, "Oh come on, you're not going to make me dig out my id?" Jackass did. I didn't take it as a compliment.

So he/they got banned for being annoying? Dang, I'm in big trouble then. Glad they can't do that to me at work....

You'd be the one that fell in the forest and nobody heard.... artistcalledian, itsmeagain, Stiffler - cya So does this mean HH banned these guys? If so, why? Or am I completely off track?

But if I NEVER hear Black Horse again, it will be too soon. Does anyone else hate how the radio stations ruin a good song by playing it to death?

Good caveman! I would be pissed if they even argued the point with me. No dog...period. If she won't come without the dog, then so be it and you're even better off. fixed it for ya! Everyone keeps saying, "YOU'RE house, YOU'RE choice." Not the best argument, considering your SO's friends/family could reasonably use the same argument with her. I agree, it's inconsiderate for FMI to even consider bringing the dog. Your SO should have discussed it with you, and since you couldn't agree on it, the answer should be no. But SHE should have given the news to her mom. You and she need to revisit the discussion and get on the same page together. It's time for the two of you to be a team.

You know if it includes tunnel and food, I'm in!! But can we use M&M's instead of Skittles?

Aww, I'm so glad he's going to be okay. Sending you all good thoughts!!

How do Macs compare price wise?

Ok, I'll play. But I deserve a prize for the ugliest middle name. I'm still embarrassed to actually say it. Delpha. No kidding. They let my crazy oldest sister name me. They've always told me it's Greek for fourth born. I consider it proof they never really loved me. I'll take my prize now.

Isn't this the kind of save usually attributed to Tom Cruise?
