: 8 : 0

two trackdives, one coached by someone well known, five sitdives with an ex australian national champion, good mate and my former secondary instructor, plus, i tried my luck at some head-down too, that one solo, and it went amazingly well. i'm impressed with my skills, really am!

yesterday wasnt my day for landings tough, out of three jumps, two ended with me rolling over. i still stood in the end on one tough..

except for the nutcase dumping me, that was an amazing weekend! didnt end up going to the boogie, didnt go to the swiss championships, but got really wasted saturdays anyway and ended up sleeping in the bar once again on the couch. man, did i have a headache this morning, i must be getting old or something..

0:2:0 FINALLY made more than 1 jump in a weekend since I broke my femur last July. I did just enough to keep current and these are the 1st jumps I've made in just under 6 months. Good to be back in the air and back for good! No problems this weekend, and finally got some gear. I sold mine 6 months ago because I gained weight, and didn't want another broken leg.

:Vskydiver, don't have to say more.

13: 8 tandems, 3 aff, and 2 RW jumps with friends.

Took off early today to go to the buffet at the casino. Don't think I need to eat for a week now. Should have stayed and made a sunset load. Beautiful evening after a rainy kind of weekend.

No jumps for me thanks to some hectic wind but i did get to shoot 9 different kinds of machine guns at a range yesterday afternoon. Including 4 WW2 weapons, a Vickers, a Sten gun, a Thompson and something else of which i can't remember the name. I'm not much of a shooter but it sure was fun.

oh man had a great weekend in san marcos... met some really great people, partied it up... and just had an all around blast... (KK, Melanie, and Perry, you guys rock!)

so I went to go spend the holiday weekend in san marcos, got there late friday night... just in time to get shiz faced and skinny dip with complete strangers

woke up in the AM and spent most of it trying to shake the hangover so we could manifest, got in three jumps though...

next day me an KK went out and did a horny gorilla... went out as a cuddling gorilla though but we held it to about 8k and then broke off into a two way... KK you is fun 2 fly with...

then we spent the rest of the day toobin on the comal gettin trashed! doused my phone in the river... tossed it on the heater in my car and an hour later it turned back on for me...

My weekend got cut short though, i got recalled back to Ft Polk to man the hospital emergency staff... so i had to drive 350 miles at 9pm, didnt get home till 2 AM... i got popped doing 100 in a 50... he let me go... god i love being in the military...

so here i am in the middle of hurricane gustav twiddling my thumbs!!!

No thanks. I'll do the sunset load instead. You get the same great visuals without ruining a good night's sleep. Plus you get beer when you land.

6k:2:1

6k - The altitude at which my first "real" AFF student pulled.

2 jumps - an AFF Cat A on Friday and a really fun tracking (diving?) jump Saturday (on which I felt seriously inadequate as I was one of two people on the 7 way that didn't have a video camera).

Would've done more jumping but we're getting sympathy winds here. Spent Sunday drinking cocktails and playing XBox and had a nice lunch and chat with Krisanne and her monkey b/f today.

Beer paid for first "real" AFF student jump.

1 Pinched nerve in the neck:12:0

Spent 2 days at the boogie jumping out of the Skyvan. I did a couple of tandem videos, a coach jump, some freefly jumps with Daizey working on her taking docks, and then filmed 2 raft dives. It was a good weekend!

The neck is so painful that I can't look either direction and have had ice/heat on it since yesterday, I can't wait for the Dr to open in the morning to get it looked at and fixed. No mo camera jumps for a while until it is healed.

Yesterday is history
And tomorrow is a mystery

1 near cutaway:10:A lot

10 very sweet jumps this weekend-the last one of the weekend almost ended in a cutaway when it opened in it steep spin-ugh!

a bunch of freefly jumps with phreezone working on docking, fallrate, and just general moving around, a few other fun sitflys with some friends, 1 solo, and one very sweet raft dive that everyone got into the raft on!

First skyvan, first dock, first successful raft dive, and too much more to count!

:10:???

10 great jumps at the Farm. 5 4-ways, 1 tandem lurk (with my neighbor), 3 12-16 way SCR jumps, and 1 awesome 7-way sunset jump. Do I owe for my 1st jump where I was proposed to???? I don't know, but on Saturday everyone sure was coming up with a lot of reasons for why I owed beer....

My favorite weekend of skydiving, by far. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.

0 : 2 : 0

#1 - I'm single right now.
#2 - Did AFF 1 Sunday
Did AFF 2 Monday

Is it AFF or AFP for me? I did the 3 tandems first then went to AFF 1 after round school.

#3 - No beers yet. Apparently the students don't get held to the "beer rule" yet. But I did get the suggestions of what to bring, which now resides on a sticky note in my wallet.

Always be kinder than you feel.
