Happy Birthday Tara!!! Your ass better be at The Farm this weekend! You gots some spankings coming! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Well it was March 2005... Late one night at the DZ, the DZO and I are up late "b.s."ing and screwing around on the computer. He was a major IM whore and always hitting up 19-20 year old girls trying to get the out to the DZ. I told him he was wasting his time with the young ones and should focus his attention on the early 30-somethings. I asked him to let me take a stab at it, and off I went. Found a girl in the local area that was cute and actually had a picture of a tandem on her profile. Turns out she had made 1 jump before. Well we chatted for a while and she said she had wanted to make another jump and would be in touch. Fast forward to the next day. Found another girl that looked pretty hot on her profile and struck up a conversation. Come to find out that this new girl was best friends with the girl we had just been chatting with the night before! What are the odds that we would be chatting at two different times with girls around Atlanta who were best friends, both were interested in making a skydive, and both were named Jen... (hence teamjenn, there actually is a 1 & 2) Well we found out that one of the Jen's had a rain check from ASC when she was told to come on out during an ice storm ... Therefore the dzo and I took a shot and worked out an incredible deal for these two to come out and make a jump if she would forget about the rain check. If I remember correctly it was $25.00 and a case of beer! They decide that if that deal will hold up for both of them, then sure, they will come out. I never really thought they would show... I was wrong! Here I am, kicked back in manifest wearing some comfy cargo pants and a dz.com t-shirt when these two cute girls come strolling in the building. I was thinking "WOW"! They showed... and brought me green bottles! Me, in my best attempt to put no pressure on them, tried to keep to myself a bit. About then is when the cuter of two tells me I need to make a run with them to McDonalds... OK... I'll go! Had a fun night hanging out and chatting when it came time to attempt to sleep. After all, we had to be up at 6:00 am for first load! Being the gentleman that I am, I offered Jen (the cuter one) 1/2 of my air mattress. I do not believe we slept at all that night. We layed there most of this night watching skydiving videos the DZO was recording. I lightly rubbed Jen's back to ease the tension of the impending jump in a few hours. Fast forward a couple of hours, just when we are about to doze off for a bit, I hear my fawking cowbell! Time to get up and get moving, it's sunrise! We get geared up, (myself, Jen, DZO/TM, & video guy) get the pilot, and head to our beloved little 182. On the ride to altitude I ask the DZO if he called about the winds aloft. He says "no, it is early and there is nothing on the ground, just get out right over the clubhouse..." Care to guess where this is going? We finally get to altitude. I am doing a solo, so I spot it right over the building, I do my best back flip exit of the step, and away I go. I was working on my sit and bellied out around 4,500. As I look down, I realize that I did indeed did keep my self 90 degrees from line of flight, but I was no where near where I wanted to be... Deploy, face the DZ... Nope... Can't get there from here! There is a major head wind. Look down, ahhh yes, the horse pen. Land in the pen, gather my stuff, and head out. During this process I look up several times with no sign of the tandem (damn i hope they land in this county). Meanwhile there are several horses on my trail. One big mare is right at my head. I finally get out to the road and realize that the goggles which were laying in my helmet are now gone. The big mare has them! The video guy shows up in his car to pick me up, he actually barely made it back to the dz thanks to being on a 105. He asks if I saw where the tandem went and i say no... We spent at least 45 minutes looking for them with no luck. I am now getting a little concerned. If they landed on the otherside of the river, it will take at least an hour and a half to get them back; but surely we should have seen them... Well not too long after we give up and head back to the dz, I see that same cute girl and the DZO walking up the driveway. (whew, relief) They landed about 1.5 miles off the airport. By the bend in the river! A little more wind and they would have been on the other side... Fast forward to the end of the day. Jen and I exchange yahoo identities and say we will keep in touch. I couldnt wait to talk to her again... I tried to wait a day or two, but I just couldnt... We chatted quite a bit through the following week. The next weekend was Dublin. I called Jen from outside the T-Hangar where Eric Deren and Shimmel were spinning to wish her a happy birthday and let her know I wished she were able to experience that part of the skydiving world. Fast forward another week. Jen and I set a date at her apartment to watch one of our favorite movies "Clerks". When I arrived, Jen had dinner almost ready. Ribeye steaks about an inch and a half thick, these unbelievably tasty mashed potatoes, and a fridge full of Heineken... She's a keeper! We were happily married on April 13th 2006! (the thirteenth hour of the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month since we met) That's my story... Sorry if it was a little too long... Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Andy, a Cessna 208B is a Grand Caravan! ... and I like the Porter too. Hope to see you sooner than Dublin pup! Maybe Jen and I can make a weekend trip down there after the holidays... Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

I lived in Lansing for a stint and was in Detroit quite a bit for work. There are a few nice areas, but there are some BAAAAD areas too. Very much like any major U.S. city. The negatives to me were: 1. shorter jump season due to weather 2. there are fawking potholes on all the interstates around the city I did really enjoy Greek town and some of the underground music venues. Not sure if he is still spinning around Detroit, but Derrick May throws down some excellent techno! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

As much as I would hate to see anything UGA related to be covered up... Shoot me a PM with the area size (heigth & width) and I will let you know. Shouldn't be too much. Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

The design is by Adam Buckner of MG Creative: http://www.MercuryGrafiX.com I handled the printing at National Posters Digital. Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

I should be able to bring my father's fryer down if you guys like deep fried turkey. I will even buy the turkey. The List: Goofyjumper hisgoofyness Skinny teamjenn1 Thanatos340 Turtle Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Yes, and at least 4 of them have came to the DZ to do tandems; 1 of which went on to AFF and now is a jump or two away from her A! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Does not seem like this was 21 years ago... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4606953615936485395 I think I still have this on vinyl! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Madness... at The Farm... don't you know NOTHING ever happens at The Farm! We should be there some time Friday night. I should be recovered from the last two weekend by then. Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

From a tandem I shot while you were screwing around in Deland instead of at The Farm working... Hans had the imagery supplied to me. You would have to ask him where it came from. Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

happy birthday dave... i hope i can still part y like you when i get that old! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Damn Hans, that looks great... I dont know about you, but I think whoever printed that deserves about 100 free jumps !!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Happy birthday day dude! It was good to see you and Cora this weekend! I hope to see you guys again soon. Otherwise, you know I can't hardly wait until Dublin!!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

mmmmmmmm crunchie... Glad to know that you were able to kick out of it and didnt have to cut it away! You are welcome to test drive my Civic Si anytime. The kick ass power band and 6-speed tranny make it awfully fun to drive! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

I can't believe that GA peeps are being referred to as post whores. That's awfully close to profiling; and profiling is wrong... Make sure the video of our sunset "SDR Poke-Her Way" gets on there! I am still in awe of the fact that it actually built! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Happy Birthday J !!! For some reason I kept thinking it was the 9th... and not today... Anyway, have a great one! Bring your arse to The Farm this weekend for the boogie so that we can line you and Nan both up for a flogging session!!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Don't get me wrong... I had a blast in Destin too! but i would have jumped more had it not been 9,000 degrees... Destin would be great sometime around... NOW! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

BRILLIANT!!! Instead of frying our asses off in Destin this coming June, we can do beach jumps in Long Island! I hate to say it, but maybe ... JUST MAYBE... I could actually look forward to making a trip to NY !!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

I just bought a new 2006 SI coupe in July. It is a FUN car to drive! It has a larger trunk than most small cars; but the back seat is limited. If you are looking for transportation for just you, hottie, and the dog, it may be just fine. but if you are looking to haul around multiple skydivers and gear, most likely not the best choice... The new 6 speed trans, 8k rev limit, and 200hp engine sure are fun though!!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

I'm in too... I am sure, if the timing worked out for us, Jen would LOVE to make a NY trip. I may be up for it, especially if I was guaranteed the chance to go see a Yankees game... in which they lost!!! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Happy Birthday young lady! Bring your arse to The Farm this weekend for your spanking!!! So, how many licks is that going to be? Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

Doooooood!!! That sucks... Glad you are not hurt. I am sure Friday night will help take your my off your worries! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

That's funny! Glad you made it to the boogie! It was nice to meet some of you who I had not met yet... Now we just have to convince Jen that LP is a must for next year! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!
