Lindsey 0 #26 April 17, 2006 ...:1:... After being chastised all afternoon friday by the orthopedist that I'm working with about the dangers of tibial fractures while motorcycling, he let me leave early.... So I rode an additional 30 miles to the dz where Rick was....get this.... giving away free jumps. They were up on the first load when I got there at 6:30. I made the sunset load and got a jump in with my favorite men. So cool. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

wildcard451 0 #27 April 17, 2006 QuotePretty Good weather at Orange. As long as you are not a student. Had a couple good R/W jumps and a fun fun fun tracking dive. PS. When you ride with the Otter door open,..it's summer. Hahahaha, glad you thought so. I'll try to bring the speed down next time. : 9 ( I think) : probably some. Was a damned good weekend. I just realized tonight that I have busted out 85 jumps since X-mas day. For my broke ass, I'm having a hell of a start to the season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #28 April 17, 2006 1 rail meat experience:2:0 I did a couple of freefly jumps up in Deland, my first jumps since going to Dublin. I met Krisanne, but Scott Miller kept her too busy to play with me. At one point, I was looking for her and he said, "are you harrassing my student again?" I left the dz early to go to Carl Dougherty's birthday party. He has a cool house on a lake where we can still see the skydivers being dropped at the dz. I took a spin in Tim Webb's sailboat with him and Cliff from Tecumseh. It was so much fun because it had been about 25 years since I had been sailing. When we set off, he told me to pull on the jib rope. My reply was, "what the hell is that?", so Cliff was his helper and I became rail meat for the rest of the trip. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #33 April 17, 2006 Made 1 fun jump at Orange. Watched my best friend have a super super super super close call wtih a momentary main/reserve entanglement. Thought his luck was pretty good after that and so we drove to Atlantic City and pulled an all nighter at the casino. Made a jump at Xkeys before heading home. Pretty damn fun weekend. Note to self... New Jersey stops selling beer Sunday evenings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 259 #47 April 17, 2006 6 to 3:0:0 Watched the Sharks abuse the Mighty Ducks on Saturday. What a game! Thornton scored the first Sharks goal at 21 seconds into the first period, Cheechoo got the 6th Sharks goal and completed his 5th hat trick of the season with an unassisted shot from the Sharks blue line at 2 seconds left in the third period. Cheechoo now has the most goals for any player in the NHL, Thornton now has the most points for any player in the NHL, the Sharks are solidly in the playoffs and I think I now "get" hockey. Then we stopped by a brewery on the Peninsula and had an awesome beer - MaiBock (smooth, went down easy and packed one heckuva punch) - with a friend. After that it was off to more friends house for the night. An awesome dinner, excellent intoxicants, kickass skydiving videos on a huge TV and wonderful people to spend time with made for the perfect ending to a perfect day. Big time thanks from both of us to both of you (you know who you are )! Woke up to pouring rain on Sunday. Slowly made our way home and spent the remainder of the day enjoying a raging fire and the Sunday paper. Today the dz is closed so of course the weather is beautiful.
