    I figured it would be, but I just couldn't drink any more beer and I sure couldn't throw it out. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Yep, I'm thinking #100 is going to be at the Leap for Lupus this weekend at Kapowsin. I can't believe how much fun I am having. (or how much there is to learn!!) "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I'm no expert by any means, but what do you have in mind. I've got a month off coming up in about 10 days. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    One jump is all it takes to get hooked. I gather you jumped at Kapowsin, so you know the view there is terrific and Kapowsin is a great place to learn and jump. There are some fantastic instructors and fun people to jump with there. You don't need a S/O to have a good time, by the way. You will find lots of people to skydive with. Yes, the waiver is standard and sometimes there are even more pages. Have fun learning to jump. It just gets better and better. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    I did my tandem in October, started AFF Thanksgiving weekend, did my 9th jump the end of April, and have 97 now, so things are looking up. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I've been trying to figure out what to post about LP, but it was such an incredibly fun time I don't know where to start. I will say that Bolas in a thong is most likely going to be a looooong lasting memory. He definitely kept things interesting. From listening to wolves howl in the early morning to being under canopy with a bald eagle in the air, even Mother Nature contributed to the experience. I was able to try so many new things that i think I owe enough beer to open a small brewery, and I only jumped 8 times. i can hardly wait for next year.

    0:8: What a weekend! Prairie was great. First boogie, first Otter, first Skyvan, first 8 way, first 12 way, first cross country. Major fun. It was really hard to leave "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I can hardly wait. I got to jump #97 at Prairie, so #100 should be happening there. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    There are some things about California I miss. Earthquakes aren't on the list. I used to live in San Andreas Fault area. It seemed like almost daily rocking and rolling. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I'm leaving Wednesday afternoon. It's about 10 or 11 hours driving time, but I've got a couple of people to help drive. And I plan on looking up NWFlyer and getting me a winning ticket. And I'll be looking for you the next week at Kapowsin to get a few more tickets there. You do have a few winning one left, right??? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    0:8:0 Worked and worked some more on tracking. I wanted to be sure I am comfortable wiith tracking before I head to LP in a few days. I jump at a 182 dz, so the skies aren't exactly busy there like they will be at Prairie. I did get a total of 12 jumps this week. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    Cause I'm teaching summer classes to pay for the fun I'm having learning to skydive and travel to places like LP. I'm cancelling classes one day as it is. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I like your plan. I'm not too fond of the trapped in a sleeping bag feeling myself. i usually end up putting mine under me for padding and using blankets. I did splurge and buy a self-inflating air mattress. When are you heading there? I'm leavng here Wednesday afternoon and planning on a loooooooong night driving.

    I was just looking at the weather forecast for LP area. It gets really cold at night. Do I need to dig out the Under Armor for morning jumps? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
