skybytch 259 #1 April 13, 2003 My weekend is pretty much over; I'll start. 1 compliment from my boss on my swoop to the base:2:0 Saturday - A 5 point 9 way and an almost 3 point 10 way (I think we got that pyramid shaped one; we sure held it long enough!). A few beers and dinner with a friend from out of town who just moved to San Diego (heh. He has a Harley), then a few more beers with other friends at the dz. Sunday - Lunch and some clothes shopping with my kid. He wants to move home! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skymama 35 #2 April 13, 2003 Quote He wants to move home!
