Krip 2 #2 June 23, 2014 Hi John Had a great weekend to. Weather was great, not to hot or cold, got a lot of chores done around the house, and yard. Fixed part of my exterior water supply problem. Watched a family of three bald eagles flying over head, momma dear and two young ones crossing the road, lots of birds learning to fly with their parents.Spelling and grammer police stay awayR.

JBR 0 #4 June 23, 2014 8 jumps, 4 from the top and 4 from 5k doing a canopy course. Got my CH2, JM1 and my B licence. Pretty much got my sitflying sorted, Also nailed 5 pre-declared landings in a row. Beer has been bought and drank! I've had worse weekends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel99 144 #5 June 23, 2014 I haven't jumped in a while. But my girl is making sure that I am always smiling This weekend was no exception. Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #6 June 23, 2014 We spent 12 hours on Saturday driving across the state and back and helping one of the kids move. That about took care of Saturday! On Sunday, we started prepping the house for our annual July 4th party. Normiss loves the honey-do lists I make for him. Edit: I added his crafty repurposing project that he did.

wmw999 2,123 #7 June 23, 2014 Went motorcycling in New England. Boy it's sure different from doing it on the coastal prairie of Texas!

wolfriverjoe 1,341 #8 June 23, 2014 0;0;0 Had a big S/L group out (the same group I started with), got them trained on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend sitting on the ground looking up at 1500' overcast saying "Well, this sucks." On the plus side, the new lawn tractor showed up, so we put one of the guys on a creeper with an old pilot rig (round) behind it and towed him around a while. Yeah, we were bored.

JohnMitchell 14 #14 June 23, 2014 Snowstorm in June is always cool. Hope you two had the gear for it. Hypothermia can get you at those altitudes. Chilhuly is a local boy for us. We've met him a couple of times and have lots of his work displayed, esp. in Tacoma. He's done a lot for our region. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #16 June 23, 2014 I spent Saturday being diagnosed with appendicitis, then having the offending organ removed. Sunday was spent vomiting and whining about pain. I may do some more of that today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3mpire 0 #19 June 23, 2014 Put a winter's worth of 4way FS tunnel training to use in an NSL meet with my team--did 8 jumps from the A class NSL pool, finished with an 11 point average which was great as it was very block heavy. Capped it off with a 15 way sunset load: [inline sunset.jpg] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the apendix burst and she spent a long time in the hospital getting the mess getting cleaned up.One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
