Sure it's not over yet, but I'm done jumping for the weekend. Brrr, did outside video of a 3 way with a guy with 600 jumps, a guy that claims several thousand jumps (liar), and a woman with 58 jumps. The 1,000's of jumps dude was backsliding with a death grip on the formation dragging them around the sky, the 600 jump dude was tracking trying to keep up, the 58 jump woman was along for the ride trying not to puke from the spinning:D. It was pretty funny but I was too scared to get close ups of their faces. Crappy spot, but I had to ride brakes to wait for the low guy to land first anyway. I only got 43 MPH in my landing but it was still enough to set off my 3rd siren.

Got 2 jumps yesterday. Kinda chilly, but I never notice it until under canopy anyway. It is nice this time of year. Three jumpers, had the DZ all to ourselves.
Last weekend of deer season around here, still lots of orange in the woods. Not a good time for an off field landing.

Might have been the last time for the season. Clouds and snow today:(.

:D owed for my first jump at the (almost brand-new) Skydive Sacramento, and for being on the :D load yesterday of the CSC Super Otter, which will be around all winter!

This place has all the makings of a great new addition to the NorCal skydiving scene. If you haven't checked it out yet, make a trip! I'm really glad I did.B|

Crap weather up here in Seattle. Got out to catch Supersuckers playing with Zeke and Green River. Boy, that took me back about 20 years.:D Got some Christmas lights up and a few other things, but I never get as much done as I think I should.:S Too much time posting.:D

Glad you got a Super Otter for the winter, Krisanne. Have fun.:)

Jumped at Skydive Sacramento (New DZ in Lincoln, CA, just North of Sacramento). Had an absolute blast!!! The DZO is building a drop Zone based on fun jumping rather than a tandem operation. Yes he will do tandems, but his primary focus is to promote the sport and cultivate new skydivers.

In the next few months SDS will be in their permanent home with a large grass landing area, separate high performance landing area (with a swoop pond being developed by swoopers) and a 10,000 square foot hanger to pack in!!

What a great weekend!!!

Great two days at ZHills for the 8 & 16-Way Turkey Meet, got me two 3rd places and some bling from TK ;)

1 great 4-way dive, nice to get back to my roots and turn a few points.

Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.

I had a fantastic weekend. I got to jump at Orange, VA and at the Thanksgiving Boogie in Halifax, NC. I met lots of great people. First time jumping from a CASA. First attempted 15 way. Tried diving to a 10 way, but I gotta work on that a bit more. :$
