Unstable 8 #26 August 23, 2004 0:5:0 It's been a bad week for me. I ended the relationsip with my girlfriend of 8-months and sat back and watched as she made some very desctructive decisions. Too much drama at the DZ this weekend. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpster 0 #29 August 23, 2004 1:4:? Highlight of the weekend was seeing my twin grandsons for the first time! They are two very beautiful boys! (I promise one of these days I'll figure out how to post pictures of all this cool stuff I talk about - ) Worked Satruday morning until 9:00, picked up Sharon at the house then headed to O'Hare to send her off to Conneticut (to visit her Mom) - My oldest daughter Liz is moving back to NY from Alaska and had a layover at O'Hare also, so we went to the airport early and spent a couple hours visiting and taking pictures of her and MY TWIN GRANDSONS! WooHoo! Sharon is off to visit her mom for a couple weeks - I get to be crazy for a little while! I think the vacation will do us both good. Four jumps out of the Casa this weekend - Jumped with Roger Ponce on the base of a 12-way. Took a newbie ( < 50 jumps ) up on a nice little 5-way, we went out first, stepping off the tailgate backwards so we could watch the plane and the other 3 jumpers follow after us. It was a good weekend. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
