AggieDave 6 #1 December 17, 2004 I wanted to say: TTYL, since its 55F outside, perfectly clear and sunny with only about 5mph of wind...I'm off to the DZ to get some jumps done and to take some whuffos on tandem jumps. I just wanted to share. Take care!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #4 December 17, 2004 Don't rub it in Dave! I hate winters in Montana, mainly cause I can't jump. Every Spring my stomach fills with butterflies making that first one because it's been about a half a year since my last one. I hope to do a little snow skiing this weekend. It's not near as good as jumping, but it helps pass the time. Four more years, and I'm looking for a warm place to retire, or should I say find another job (for insurance purposes). I was thinking of hiring out to Walmart as a greeter. I always liked Texas, maybe I'll head that direction.....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12500ft 2 #5 December 17, 2004 I'm leaving for Montana tomorrow and am bummed that I'm going to be missing this great weather in Colorado that means I could be jumping...why did I buy myself a plane ticket for a Saturday? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #7 December 17, 2004 Bright clear blue skies with no winds today. About 35F outside...pretty warm if you ask me! No need for gloves and didn't need to button the coat or use a hat today. I may need to wear gloves if I go shooting this weekend, however. Looks like it will get bitter cold (8F) tomorrow night with some snow. Still, I have no complaints since this is one of the warmest and most mild winters I can recall. The only time I can remember one this tame we got hit with a major blizzard in March...so keeping my fingers that won't happen this year. After almost six years in the sport, I don't mind taking a month or two off to get some whuffo stuff done and to let the savings rebuild. The winter is good for that._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

steve1 5 #8 December 17, 2004 Actually it's been very warm here in Montana. I don't think there's much jumping happening anywhere though, and that sucks. Bring your skiis. Maybe I'll see you on the Mountain....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me break the news here. The reason that we people down here in year round jumpable weather like to brag about being able to jump during the winter, KNOW NOTHING ELSE. I didn't realize this until I went up to Utah in November. Uhhh....Texas ....one word FLAT. We do not have ice skating (unless it's man made indoors), or skiing, or snowboarding, or rock climbing...DOPE...BECAUSE WE ARE FLAT AND HUMID!!! Therefore Texas is great for it's perfect landing areas... OH YEAH..and especially us in Houston way down here 38 feet asl. Na, seriously though...There really isn't anything to do besides jump (outdoorsy type things)...it really is pathetic the more I think about it! And to think it took me 22 years to realize this!!

Oh, and let's not forget about those bug Exactly. I used to live in Corpus. We had the giant flying cockroaches up the wazoo. Even people living out on Ocean Drive had them crawling up to the 10 floor in their condos. They're everywhere in South Texas can't escape them.

happythoughts 0 #25 December 18, 2004 QuoteWe had the giant flying cockroaches up the wazoo. I'll bet the bug spray stung. Some friends came by for dinner tonight. We were inside for a while, but around 9:30 we built a fire outside. It must have still been around 70 because you couldn't get too close to the fire without getting too warm. It is 1:30am and around 60 now probably. Time to head for bed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
