Ah Crikey! Now what am I supposed to do? Hehe. Ok, I'm sure I can get my family to switch over to Perris on Saturday. We'll see. I'll do my best. I would really love to jump with you all. In fact, let's just plan on it. I mean come on...I am making the LONG driver over there so if I want to jump perris, then I should get perris. No? So are we all meeting at Perris on Saturday then? Monk

I'll be leaving Phoenix on Friday afternoon and will be jumping on Saturday. Not quite sure if I'll make it Sunday too (I want to go to the beach). But if any of you are going to be there, Look for me. I'm the one wearing the white jumpsuit. Many of you know what I look like from previous posts where I posted some pics. Hope I can jump with a couple of ya too. Let me know if you will be there. Ciao Monk

Point well proven. Ciao Monk

I've been VERY scarce for the last year. And those who have been here and around know who I am. All I have to say is, I come back here to enjoy some posts and I am severely disappointed. I think you all know what I'm talking about. And yes I am aware of the hypocricy (sp) embedded in this post. What ever happened to the fun loving free spirited welcome everyone and be nice mentality that this place was born in? It's sad really. Sorry HH. Ciao Monk

Heheh...Oh there won't be any water drinking on THIS trip! This Monk is gonna get sinful! Ciao Monk

Ola Everybody. Anyone know if there is a DZ or something that will suffice in San Philippe? Going for Labour Day and would love to jump if can get the chance. Ciao Monk

Well, one of THE DUMBEST things I have ever done happened just yesterday on the last jump. It was going to be a Team Flail big way (the last one of the day). The previous jump went well so we decided to do another and put the beer off for another jump. (No putting off the beer wasn't the dumb thing). We jumped on the tram waiting to be taken to the Otter when we looked to the South and South East. And big as Texas was this SOLID Wall Dust storm 5 miles wide. We all kind of looked at each other wondering if we should go. It looked like this MASSIVE Gust Front was going to pass to the south of the airport. And we all agreed that if it came down to it...we could always ride the plane down. One guy (an old timer) took one look at this Monstrosity, turned right around and said "No F*ing way". I was front front float so I was going to be first out, which meant I had the best seat in the house ( sitting on the edge of the door with my leg hanging out enjoying the view and cool air). A 4 time gold medal winner was on this jump too sitting right next to me. Both of us spent the entire plane ride up studying this massive wall of churning dust worthy of a camera shot likening to that from the movie "The Mummy". We kept looking at each other shaking our heads. One of the dropzone workers was going to do a hop'n pop and be our eyes on the ground. He bailed out uneventfully. One of us asked the pilot to radio to the ground and ask if it looked alright. They radioed back and said it was perfectly calm. (Calm before the storm). We hurried the jump run and I climbed out first. I looked down over my left shoulder while hanging on the side of the Otter waiting for everyone else to climb out and saw directly below that perfectly defined airborne killer. The count was given starting the jump. The jump was ok...definitely a flail jump. We broke off and I tracked like hell and hummed it on down to limit the time spent in those boiling winds. I threw and got open. Immediately my canopy turned straight into the jaws of this sandy beast. I take a quick look around and see everyone is open and having the same trouble I was. The canopy was violently throwing itself about. I grabbed the front riser and started spiraling down. It wasn't working out to well so I switched to a rear riser. The second I did that the canopy collapsed. Oh shit! It seemed like a lifetime before the canopy re-inflated. I grabbed the brake and toggled down. All of us were being taken way downwind. Most of us didn't make it back to the landing area. I tucked my knees to my chest and made the last bit of the straight in approach with both front risers burried trying to get forward movent and to get down as quick as possible. I just barely made the edge of the grass. I really don't even remember flaring. Just immediately grabbing my right rear riser and tugging with all my strenght to keep from being dragged into the desert. Everyone made it back and not a single person was injurred. I know I got about 4 prayers in on the canopy ride down. Now we have a new valid excuse for flailing a jump. "I had Dust Storm Anxiety". Next time I'm going to make like Bullet Bob and say "No F*ing way!" and go back in and start pulling down beers. Ciao Monk

Emma, You suacy brit. Marry Me! God I hate American Women! Ciao Monk

My Name is Spencer. I'm a pilot. I continually look out the window and look for a suitable "dropzone". It's torture really. I'm single and Looking. Grrrrrr. All you DZ.com babes that know me.... :) Ciao Monk a.k.a. Spencer

Back in 1966 my Dad was a jumpmaster at Elsinore at the ripe old age of 16 yrs. He was the Youngest J/M in the world. Pretty neat eh? Ciao Monk P.S. He still flies old school...but it works very well for him. :) Love ya Dad!

Ok...I'm going bananas trying to find out who is singing in that new Saab 9-3convertable commercial. The considerate driver one. Where the two girls are passing the bus and they pull over to get a better look. I thought it might have been Nelly Furtado...but I don't think it's her. If ANYONE knows please let me know. Gratzie Ciao Monk
