sunshine 2 #51 June 17, 2003 QuoteI expect all you other dz.com weirdos to sign my logbook in Rantoul and Eloy. No relation at all to Sunshine, whose post I replied to. No, none at all, since she certainly isn't strange. You certainly know how to make a girl feel special. I have no problemo signing people's logbooks, for some reason i just never bother to get mine signed. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

jtval 0 #52 June 17, 2003 QuoteDoes anyone "bounce proof" their logbooks? I think this is something from the old days. I've thought about it but I dont like to tempt fate THAT much!

bbarnhouse 0 #53 June 17, 2003 QuoteSomething I saw at Perris that I really liked was a dz.commer who takes pictures of the people she jumps with (those little peel-n-stick ones) and sticks them into her logbook. I thought that was a great idea too! Val even put a picture on the Dropzone.com banner. Talk about creative. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

punkd 0 #55 October 26, 2007 Maybe you should try PM'ing him instead of replying to a 4 year old thread. Just a suggestion.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catchsky 0 #56 October 26, 2007 don't know what 'PM' is, but it'll be interesting to see if he responds to the 4 year old posting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekstrom10k 0 #57 October 26, 2007 If you look to the right you can see my jump numbers. I am 3 short of starting log book number 76. I do tandems and have people ask if I took up so and so their cousin etc. I can show them as all their names are in there. I have DZO's call and ask who was the fourth guy on a load two week-ends ago .I have it. Bob Hoover Lew Sanborn Bob Sinclair Jerry Bird Carl Boenish Carl and Roger Nelson Paul Fayard have all signed my books. We have a guy that already made two or three hundred jumps alreadt this year. The manifest master log has him at 43, just a little difference.One post wanted the number of different planes we have jumped out of .Revewing my books its 67. Cant do that by memory or it would be 400 or 500 easy. I have a running hours in freefall 157 hrs 37 min 22 seconds. I wouldnt do it any other way, I am glad I did. Its also fun to have a sub-hundred jump wonder sign it.It slows some of the jaw flapping down when the see you have more log books than they have jumps. At least until you leave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #58 October 27, 2007 Quote whats your take on this? do you or dont you keep a log? Dude, you remind me of myself when I was younger. I ONly have like 1050 jumps now but I still log everyone of them. It's like a diary. When I am discussing some stuff that happened years ago I can go to the log book and find out exactly what,who,when and where. Can't always explain the WHY. If I had to do it all again I would still log every jump.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefallfreak 0 #62 October 28, 2007 Absolutely..not that I'm superstitious or anything...and I can't spell that long word either, ...but yes, I always bounce-proofed my logs. Somehow it always made me feel safer, but with all the chances I seemed to take I probably know nothing about safety.
