Nothing too exciting jump wise... I think I did 4 (or possibly 5) fun jumps on Saturday before some weather moved in... I imagine the weather broke sooner or later but I went and did some Relative work of the family variety (my sister came into town and we celebrated my brother's birthday with dinner at my parents house.) overall not a bad day...

Sunday I took the day off from jumping and was working on a birthday gift for my GF... :)

1 horrible sinus infection:2:0

I spent most the week dripping and caughing up snot, 2 jumps were about all I could take. 1 taching Daizey to freefly, I met Andycopland on the lift too. Second was a hop and pop where I tried a right hand pattern instead of the left normally. very weird.

10 jumps!

I did 7 video jumps and 3 freeflys. It was my first day on the schedule as a videographer. However, I've already bought probably 3 cases (that's 24 beers per case, not 12!) for this tandem video stuff.. so I have decided that I don't really owe.

Doing tandem videos ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love watching those guys in freefall, they turn into little kids up there!B| The videos that I did this weekend were my best yet.

Three fun jumps at K-pow, including my 300th. Thanks to JohnMitchell and monkycndo for joining me on that one. :)

The weather was pretty crappy this weekend so there wasn't much jumping going on here. I had one of the best RW jumps ever though. I still get excited when I think about it. Also, thanks to some crappy weather on Sunday a bunch of us were able to do our water training and get our B's. So even though there wasn't much jumping it was still a good weekend.

one annoying ear infection : 11 : 0

Had an awesome time on my 400th playing hang the human ornaments on the naked xmas tree. (Popping into a sit on a naked jump feels great, but I now advise against holding it for the entire jump B| It brings new meaning to the term (black and) blue balls. :D:D

My first jump in 2007! :S But I'm once again current! Got a kisspass on my recurrency dive too!

Also someone brought the cutest little puppy out to the dz that needed a home! We all tried to get our pilot to take him but he wouldn't, so me and my sweety adopted the little guy instead! He's a beautiful pup - a blue heeler/austrailian shepherd mix.

Lots of jumps for me for a weekend - even though a good portion of our jumpers were in the coach course we still managed to get some time in the air. Livendive - you did a great job this weekend!

3 fun RW dives. The last being NWFlyer's 300th.

:D for jumping my new V-Max RW suit (Thanks Valinda) and for the first time visiting K-Pow. I'll have to pay that off the next time I'm there.

The weather in Seattle was glorious while not so great in the Bay Area. Went out to breakfast and had an incredible omelet that had sausage, green chiles, cheese and,,,,,,,, pineapple. Yep, pineapple. It was really good.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Livendive - you did a great job this weekend!



Thanks Cindy B|. For a little DZ like our's, I thought we all did pretty good to get 9 thru the coach course while also knocking out 30 tandems and some IADs and AFFs (and our first graduate of the season). It's very cool that so many people are willing to help out wherever they're needed, especially when things get a little hectic like yesterday. We also got those soil samples pulled at the other location last night. Muttley has some great pictures of Rex doing his best impression of PigPen (I was too fat to collect some of them). :D

Blues,
Dave
