2!:18?:1 Jumped all the suits this weekend! Got some nice pictures of Anita in her new FF suit, did 9 tandems, shot one digital and stills package, was in and over some nice 8 way, and the "1" is for Vic Krusi's 5000th skydive jump, which he chose to do in MadJohn's GTi. AH! And the "2' is for my superhellacooliest new articulated Wings #8's, polished stainless, cut in laterals, quilted backpad.....mmmmmm. Goooooood. Next jumps:Sweden

Winds were zero to five all day yesterday. We routinely jump in winds to 20-25. It's only hard on the students who are trying to get their levels done, and this season it's been particularly mild. It's great for tandems. Funny thing, is the biggest reason to downsize for most Byron jumpers is to have more ability to jump in higher winds. Stop by on one of those runs and jump with us!

I'm comfortable without an alti, it's just not the smartest thing to do. In the tracking contest it screwed me a little bit because I pitched as soon as I saw MadJohn's canopy. Thanks for the offer of an alti, my digitude is back on my wrist for now. Swedish moonshine. I'm doomed.

Naw this was regular tracking with no crutches. Tall guy gave me a run for the money, and he edged me out for third. It's a great annual competion, and really focuses everybody on the importance of being able to track well for safety.

Noice work, leese!

I'm pissed. My Neptune crapped out on my on the way to altitude for our tracking contest today. I had no altimeter, and I can't really hear my audible when I am in a full-on track. I had to track after MadJohn and pull when he pulled to know where I was at. The freaking Neptune registered me as 12,000 feet below the surface of the earth when I landed. Is there going to be a Neptune rep at the Herc Boogie? The Neptune is exceptional for a guy like me who does a WHOLE lot of different stuff at the DZ, and doesn't want to dig his Pro-track out of all the different helmets he (or she) wears. But when I am depending on the unit at my Alti, and it craps out in the plane, I am screwed. Thank goodness it wasn't an AFF. I have borrowed an IR replicator and it's telling me to not use the unit. I leave for Sweden Tuesday. I'm bent. Sorry, Alti-2, but this is my second unit, and this is just unsat.

Didja try the forum at the Herc Boogie website? I picked up a ride early on the 23rd by posting there. This is SO going to rock.
-
Show me by doing a bigger way out of the Herc, boyo. See you in a couple weeks with mondo camera gear. Let's take some pictures!

Eloy has the best pie, period. The best custard ever, and anybody who has licked a recently pied person at the Holiday Boogie knows that. Congrats on whatever, Leese.

Iwan won the NorCal 200+lb. tracking contest. Thoroughly. I was 4th behing TallGuy. Meatmissiles. You all missed it.

I can fix a few things for you before I leave the country. It's good to have friends. Anybody know who Amerigo Bonsera was?
-
Andy, actually there are three attachment points available if you use the center one. But it's a different size and thread pattern. That's how I have all of mine, it's overkill, but I'm an overkill kind of guy. I used Allen bolts from the hardware store. The thumbscrew, by definition, can only get finger-tight.

I taser'd a guy with a box knife once. Knife fighting is astoundingly stupid. I have also convinced at least two, I forget sometimes, guys with knives to desist at the point of my pistol. There is a GREAT police training tape out there about knife fighting that resulted in tons of folks with knives getting shot by cops. If somebody has a drawn knife out, and attacks a cop with a holstered pistol from 20 feet, and the knife fighter knows his shit, the cop gets fatally wounded every time. Basically, never bring a knife to a gunfight.

When you blow in his face, doesn't he just start licking at you?
-
So long as they are not in CALPERS, you betcha!
-
We need a bigger picture of you? Bah! Hahar!
-
Skye, that's kinda what Ingrid does for a living. Check with her.
-
Nah, with Chris its when the door opens "Check your shit, YO!"
-
Do not threaten me, you silly greenie! I have pictures of nearly everyone! Even you!
-
So Lumster, in order to jump more you really need two rigs. I got one left, talk to me tomorrow! And Congrats! Can I have your old job?
-
You are fast like the wind, Nightingale, fixed it while you were posting.
-
I was looking for a picture for somebody and came across this one. I like it. Who, When, Where?

West Coast YO!
