Weekend numbers 3-5 November

Recommended Posts

not sure what the numbers represent but I did get a jump in Sunday that was so amazing I can't stop thinking about it.

So it was a cloudy day and the ceiling was 7k, I got up there just in time for the last load. When we got to 6.5k, I started to put my googles and helmet on when I realized we were still over the mountains, minutes went by and before I knew it we were above the clouds. Anyway, to my surprises we got to full altitude and the jump was so sick! I couldn't wait to get to the clouds so head down all the way there then on the belly and proceded to go swimming!! They were so thick, probably a thousand feet or more of cloud layer. There were some holes visable from jump alt but whatever. Anyway, it was insane, I realized when I came out of the clouds I had been holding my breathe?!? I laughed as my buddy came falling threw and we both were vocal under canopy! "FUCK YEAH" We both talked alot about the day when we could jump threw clouds! Thanks for reading. :)

Dear god it's been 2 months and one week since I jumped last!!! Maybe 1 more month and my knee will be healed.. I'm jonesing so bad for a good jump I'm dreaming about it all the time now.

Before this my longest layoff was 3 weeks due to weather.

I didn't get out this weekend, but heading out to Elsinore in a little while.

I spent M-F visiting my folks in Vancouver, WA; leaving So Cal tomorrow to go home.

Saturday night, I went to my ex-so's 30th b-day party. Good to see her, but talk about an odd social situation, esp with several other of her ex's at the party :S[:/].

One stormy weekend... went to check out shops in Bellingham but was getting soaked just walking from store to store.

Next we took off and drove up over The North CasCades Hwy to checkout the snow levels.. WOO HOO... there was snow up there BUT all the rain is melting it off.

NOW we are expecting record flooding in the valleys due to a predicted 6" of rain in the valley and 12" up in the high country.

Had a great time getting back to Byron to see my old friends - it was amazing to spend time with them and that was the best part of jumping - getting to do it with my old buddies now that I have my "A".

Did a track with Mike (aka Shitweasel)
3 way with Mike and John
2 way with TallGuy
2 way with Kristen
2 way with SBS

Got my first freelfy kiss - I still can't believe it didn't happen until my 40th jump - you guys are SLOW! And chatted under canopy with SBS as he circled around me - it was loads of fun!
Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!
