Should've been packing boxes all weekend...

Ended up drinking pretty much straight from Thursday afternoon to this morning.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

I cannot even begin to imagine what you and the other people at your DZ must going through. My thoughts are with you and your friends.

I know my previous post should go in the Blue Skies forum, but it seemed crass to simply skim over VB's post..

two three-ways with Pieter and Frits, both of which funneled thanks to me
One compressed exit with Alejandro which went quite okay One H&P from 6 to play with my canopy.

1:
FIRST jump on my brand new canopy

We proceeded to have a very nice evening once the beerlight came on eventually resulting in an amazing bonfire that necessitated us to cover up the evidence with shovels and a firehose in the morning....

I did my 200th jump. I waited almost all day for everyone's schedules to work out for my hoop dive. Everyone made it through once. Myself and Dave made it through twice. Then I got my C-license Saturday as well! WOO HOO!

3 RW on Wednesday evening; 1 with the old strobe on.

3 RW Saturday and almost got taken out by another canopy on final. Missed with about 20 ft of seperation.

Got thumped with some turbulence on the 2nd jumps landing right near the peas windsock. Felt like I dropped about 10' and the canopy made a thawck sound.

Third jump was a very good 3-way but decided that was it for the weekend as I decided maybe it was time to go bowling or something on terra firma.

Although I did make almost all the Fire and EMS jobs with my local volly company. Big festival, and lots of people. I was the dork on the bike. lol

Pushed a fellow ff to the bar in a shopping cart, and as soon as we got paged out we booked to the fire house... it was good.

Edited to add... we never made it into the bar. Before that call.

Saturday I had to work to make up for lost time due to no electricity.... so I put my 8 hrs in bright and early and made it out to the dropzone by 2:15pm!
Anyways Saturday I made 3 jumps. one CRW jump and got my first 4-stack! Yipeee! I was so tired from working all day, but that jump just made the day worth while. Thank you Travis, Robin and Brian! I made 2 more jumps on Saturday, 2 video for 4-ways.
Sunday I made 4 jumps: 2, 4-ways, a 2 pt 14-way and a 3 point 12-way. Oh and I had a slammer opening on Sunday and I am feeling it in every part of my body...
I don't want to be back at work today...
