2 good people who joined too many other good people.

One of those jumps that reminded me why I skydive, even though skydiving means knowing and then losing good people.

Here's to you, Beezy.

Here's to you, Tonto.

And here's to all of you.

The weekend off turned into a weekend at the DZ. I nursed a head cold in the trailer all day yesterday and did 2 tandems and 2 AFF jumps today.

Beezy, I'm glad I got to tip a few back with you a couple of times, and thanks for letting me pick your brain about parachutes over the years.

Tonto, despite our never meeting, your posts and PMs were quite valuable to me. Just today, you had a positive effect on how I instruct. Thanks for that.

Blues,
Dave

Numbers all over the place...

--10 remembered at the N430A memorial yesterday
--$3,200 donated on behalf of the skydiving community worldwide in honor of those 10 to the Yakima County Search and Rescue and the Yakima Red Cross
--2 legends passing on, both of whom I would have liked to have known better
--2 kittens requiring lots of attention (but giving back lots of love to me at least, if not yet to each other) amidst all this chaos in my head
--2 neighbors who took a statement of hate (some tagged our townhouses and the condo next door with "no more condos" spray paint) and turned it into a reminder that change doesn't mean that the neighborhood isn't still very much a neighborhood
--1 very emotionally drained Krisanne who really needs to go to bed now

2 tandems and 9 more dedicated swoop training jumps. Dedicated some jumps to working on freestyle now that I've started to really get this new canopy dialed in.

Although DZ.com is pissing me off, I'm tired of loosing friends I met in skydiving due to this site. Each weekend I open the incidents forum and cringe.

2 days down south and 21 awesome freefly jumps working on my sit. 2 ways to 5 ways. Glad to be back in the air after 3 bad weekends of weather.

One memorial service for 10 who died too soon

2 more that I now need to grieve for....

Sometimes I wonder why I cam back to this sport after 20 years .

I left it before because I was tired of losing friends.... and did not want to have those that loved me feeling this way.[:/][:/]

2 RW jumps. One 3 way that was a drill dive for a sub 100 jumper. She did awesome and had the biggest smile on her face during the dive and when we met up after landing. Man how I love that type of coach jump.:)
1 solo WS in memory of a fallen bird. Flock on, Brother.:(

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

You know you want to spank it

2 beautiful canopy rides. Chased a canopy ball around (or tried to anyway) to practice canopy skills. Then did an awesome four stack CReW jump.

Beautiful Day.....but then I heard it wasn't so beautiful when I found out we lost two more of our own:( So sorry for the families and those of you who knew them...we will continue to carry the torch.
