    I loved it from the first. i absolutely loved the view. I remember thinking how much better it was without the airplane in the way. lol I did my tandem as an extra cerdit project for a physics class I was taking and I had no idea skydiving was going to reach out and grab me like it did. No clue whatsoever. In the plane on the way to altitude, there were 8 of us, me and the physics instructor and our tandem masters and a videographer and three funjumpers. They were guys in their 20's I'd guess and when they got the go to open the door, they were as expectant and joyful as kids at Christmas. I knew anything that could make young men act like that had to be good. And you know what???? I was right. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    That's why I had an "other" choice. And from the story LisaH told me, someone else's is probably the best answer. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Here's a picture that should soothe. It's from a jump I did last weekend. I too was hooked by a tandem and 10 months later, I have my A license and 114 jumps. Skydiving is a great adventure adn you two will have such wonderful experiences. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I wish you were going to be jumping. Oh, and we're still working on getting Heidi to come. I think she needs some trouble to get intol She found out she's got 3 broken bones in her foot and is pretty depressed by it. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    Thanks for the info. Skootz has done a great job. She has found a judge willing to make the trip to Idaho. Now all we need to do is jump!

    Yeah, the weather near the coast is,..... well, there's a reason I don't live in Crescent City any more. You know one of those two season areas, Wet and Wetter. See you in September "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Me too, of course. I think we've tried to set this up before. Maybe this time the weather will cooperate and Amazon will stick around long enough.

    Happy Birthday. Hope you have a great day.

    Oh, you can't imagine how good that sounds. I am definitely up for that.

    [ I don't care how it gets out of the water. I just want some fresh and in the frying pan. All this fish talk is really making me want to go visit a friend living on the No Cal coast. Only problem is, no jumping where she is...... "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I will let her know. Think you can find a little mischief for her to get into? Oh fun!!! Bigger formations. I'm getting better at being in the base now. We even did an 8 way last weekend using our two C-182's It was really fun. I even got (was told) to do the count for the one I was on. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    Thanks for posting this thread. A couple of us few women skydivers in Idaho have taken notice that there is no Women's record and are going to try to set one at Star, Idaho the weekend of the 10th of October. We're looking at jumping Friday, Saturday and Sunday if we havne't gotten it done by then. Any women out there who'd like to make a trip here and give us a hand?

    Well, I got a 34 and was interrupted by the Schwann's guy as if I hadn't already spent enough today after buying 5 jumps worth of groceries. So I tried again and got a 28 I have been saying I've got a 20 something brain in a 50 something body. I guess this proves it. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    i've noticed.
  21. grannyinthesky
    Yep, we need Heidi too. She and ladydiver can keep each other out of (or into) trouble. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Hey Skootz, You gonna organize our bunch from Star so we know what to bring? You make great lists. But this time, I want to be the first car out. It's my last weekend of vacation. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
  23. grannyinthesky
    Woo hoo. We're doing some carpooling here and I think my car full is going to be leaving early.
  24. grannyinthesky
    I've got an idea. How about bringing a few packages here http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3301146#3301146 and we can help you decide which is ling cod and which is halibut. Mountain Home isn't any further than the rest of us are goiing to travel from.

    Me, too. About the only time I get fresh ocean fish is when I visit friends on the coast who know fishermen. That really doesn't happen often enough. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
