But I'm in there ... in my VMax suit! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

vskydiver 0 #33 April 30, 2008 I just got my Parachutist in the mail this afternoon. I immediately looked for your article and read it. I'm so impressed! You are one amazing lady! Way to go! You have a lot courage to do what you've done. I really hope that we get to meet someday in person and make a jump together. That would be awesome. By the way, you shouldn't have stressed over the writing. It was wonderful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 122 #37 May 1, 2008 got my mag today, congrats - great story so what day are you arriving for Skyfest?, remember I promised you a jump, lets make it from the CASA Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #38 May 1, 2008 I do remember your promise, but I can't make it this year. I'm still teaching then. Skyfest sounds like it is the place to go. Is it always about that time of year? A week later and I could make it. Rats......."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #39 May 1, 2008 It's been during August in Texas in the past. Too bad you can't make it. Don't you feel a cold coming on? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #40 May 1, 2008 OH, you can't imagine how tempting that is. I am not averse to playing hooky. Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I did cancel class tomorrow aftermppm becaise I may get a chance to jump. The forecast had been great all week, but now it is looking like the wind is going to ground me."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

skymama 35 #41 May 1, 2008 You're such a good little skydiver. If you get winded out, you'll have to drink beer before 4:00. It's the right thing to do.

grannyinthesky 0 #42 May 1, 2008 Oh, such a good idea. And I apparently need to show up at the dz tomorrow with beer anyway."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SansSuit 1 #43 May 1, 2008 QuoteHA! Yes I see it! Page 16. Your in the mock up right in the center! Er....... actually, that would be me. And it isn't a mock up. That was at 4,000'. Shue was way out on the step. There is video from the same angle.

Jewels 0 #48 May 1, 2008 QuoteShhh, don't tell anyone, but I did cancel class tomorrow aftermppm becaise I may get a chance to jump. Now THERE'S a professor with the right priorities!!! Sweet. Do you put that in your course description? "Class may be canceled due to unexpected bouts of skydiving and ideal jumping conditions. Make-up sessions will be held at the dropzone following the last load. Beer will be the responsibility of the student."TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #49 May 2, 2008 Well, I did fib a little. I just said I had an appointment officially, but my students knew where I was really headed. I did take my case of beer to the dz tonight, and even though the wind was blowing too much for anyone to jump (not just me!!), I spent more time learning to pack. I finally managed an unassisted pack job and got it marked off my A card. I had a great time visiting and drinking beer. But, there is a cownside. I thin on my next jump I have to jump my pack job. ScaryQQQQ Well it's late and I have to head to Portland tomorrow for a quick trip. I be back Saturday night and hopefully jumping Sunday morning."safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladydyver 0 #50 May 2, 2008 Very nice article Pat.......I think you should bring the beer owed to lp DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!
