  1. Two so far. One I packed, one I didn't. Same mal.
  2. I don't think I've ever had a kiss-pass with a guy. Somehow it was always females! I've had my visor licked by a guy, but I think that's it.
  3. Sorry I didn't meet you, Kelly! 15 jumps or so for me for the week. And some tunnel time too. Had a very nice week with Bo.
  4. Eloy? Where's that? Can't beat Florida at this time of the year....lots of jumping to be done this week!
  5. to everyone going to eloy: have fun! be safe! don't jump while hungover!
  6. Well, my shoulder stayed intact. Always a good thing! 2:2:0 two frozen hands - it was below 60, brrr. need to find my skydiving gloves or buy new ones. 2 little jumps (good to jump with jerm and heidi!) 0 beer owed and no alcohol consumed this weekend. Over the next two weeks I should be able to jump my ass off.
  7. I'll say this... When I was at Wings, we had a customer who REALLY wanted the tiny PC that Atair recommended, to go with his new Wings. I refused to order him one, told him the combination would result in at least PC hesitation. He got pissed off and went and got a 22" from another manufacturer and voila - PC in tow on his first jump. He called to say "Sorry, I should have listened..." Moral of the story - go with the rig manufacturer's recommendation first. That's my not-so-humble opinion anyhow.
  8. AI was painful to watch. That cute little boy couldn't even save the movie.
  9. 1:0:0 1 messed up shoulder. 0 jumps. (would have jumped on Sun but weather was crappy!) 0 beer owed of course. Jerm, Ron, Heidi (She's on dz.com too but I can't find her name) and I got wrongfully banned from a local pizza place. Fun times!
  10. Wow, that was stupid of me. User error! I forgot I was playing around with that a long time ago... Thanks. You rock!
  11. I just PM'd sangiro but I'm sure he's swamped or not even checking for messages. Anyone else's email account not working? I haven't been able to receive email since the end of October. I can send email just fine, just can't receive any. I'm not over the size limit, that much I know... thanks, heather
  12. Much to the detriment of my bank accounts, I have not given up. The tunnel is VERY humbling. Don't go there for the first time expecting to fly like a rock star. As for tunnel flight vs real flight. To me, freefall feels a lot smoother than the tunnel air, but other than that it feels the same. Maybe a little "easier" than tunnel air. But Arlo, I've really tried! At some point...I just can't go any higher and I just kinda fall. It's really a rather amusing feeling.

    SNOW DAY!!!

    It isn't snowing here in Z-hills, but it's 32 degrees!! Brrrrrr!!
  14. Why not just go to the source (the manufacturer/designer) with this kind of question? You could ask Henri: henri@skydivewings.com and then post his reply if you have his permission. --Heather
  15. 5:7:0 5 days off in a row! 7 jumps on sat/sun. (21 for the week, which is a lot for me - everything from 2-ways to 16-ways. we suck less!!!) 0 beers owed...but several concoctions consumed back to reality tomorrow. dammit.
  16. Funky fabrics are good so long as they are tough. If you find something you like just give Henri a sample and he'll let you know if they can work with it! How about some custom embroidery to dress it up?
  17. Jeeeez....a girl has 2 mals and she gets all sorts of crap for it. Oh, and it's an IAD that I think he should do. But he's a wuss. Scared of cessnas. Doesn't want someone else holding his pilot chute...wah wah wah... bwahahahaha
  18. go for a split rig instead. all the cool kids are doing it. seriously though, that rig looks like so many other rigs out there. it's cool-looking but if you want a rig that stands out i'd go with something else. i saw a lot of wings go through the shop that looked very similar to that.
  19. Brave girl!!!! Bo asked if I would be a passenger while he was going for his rating (if he does). I told him no. Am I a bad girlfriend? hehehehe
  20. Congrats on the birdman jump, Kris! 1:8:0 1 great new jumpsuit (I'll figure out how to fly this thing eventually) 8 jumps (7-ways up to 13-ways, 1 meeker extreme, 1 meeker insanity) lotsa video and great weather! and it's only a 2-day work week, whoohoooo!
  21. Yeeha! I can't wait for turkey boogie. 8-way and 16-way! I'm thinking a little alcohol might be consumed too. (for those of you who know the gang, Jenn and Heather will be at my place from the friday before thanksgiving until thanksgiving morning too.) And Jenn is willing to fly camera for us!

    High/Low

    I didn't know Holly but it is nice to see this thread keep going... High: Someone bought my old container! Low: Bo is really sad and I can't give him a hug right now...
  23. Sorry we bailed! I wasn't too keen on the drive and then we got word that it was supposed to be super-windy on Sunday, so we ended up elsewhere... Please forgive us!
