JohnMitchell 14 #1 September 8, 2014 I made 4 fun jumps and 7 AFF jumps. Today a friend taught the FJC and then we took one of those guys thru the first 4 AFF levels in one afternoon. Super sharp guy in his twenties, just about perfect each jump. I think we have a new skydiver. Oh yeah, mowed the lawn too. And Thursday we watched Soundgarden and Pharrell Williams open for the Seahawks. Here we are covered in green and blue streamers at the close of the show.

turtlespeed 212 #2 September 8, 2014 I think I finally got over my cold . . . so I'm getting up at 4 to go to work. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingRhenquest 1 #4 September 8, 2014 Crappy weather in the morning on Saturday and beautiful in the afternoon when I'd made commitments to help someone set a computer up. Beautiful weather in the morning on Sunday while I was running around doing some errands that couldn't wait, turned crappy in the afternoon. Cleared up again so I got on an Otter, but the wind picked up at 5500 feet (right after the hop and pops got out) and we had to ride the plane back down. Left my rig with the riggers for a reserve repack. That's pretty much been my entire summer in a nutshell, too. I think I've done about a quarter of the jumps I did my first summer.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Tisket 0 #5 September 8, 2014 I was stuck at work all day saturday and spent the first half of the shift playing musical fire stations. Managed to complete AFF 5 and 6 before getting stuck on a weather hold for incoming storms Sunday, and we ended the night with the same storms. Now to wait for this week to drag on by so I can do a barrel roll, then get to pick what I want to do each jump for a little while (more flips! That was FUN!) If you can't convince them, keep them confused. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzswoop717 5 #6 September 8, 2014 Attempted to do some work to my gravel drive way with an old backhoe that I have owned for years, I have only used it for snow removal prior to this attempt, never ran the backhoe bucket before. I have gained a new respect for equipment operators. I now have a mess that I will need a professional to come in and fix. Installed the wings on an experimental plane that my brother and I are building. Went for a sunset flight in my crusty, but trusty, old Cessna 180. pure stress relief, beautiful sunset here in PA yesterday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vskydiver has had some kind of head cold the past month. But her mom is doing a tandem this weekend so she's going to jump with us regardless. Hope you feel better soon. Here's the Seahawks preshow pic I forgot to attach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
