Four points, we engineered the dive on the plane and actually pulled it off. Did a coach jump with me daughter Sarah. She is doing so well for some one with 16 jumps! Saw Ladyskydiver (Hi Cora!!!)very briefly before I had to run off to do a demo jump at an airshow. Unfortunately it never happened due to aircraft issues. Went back to the DZ and made three more jumps, concluding with a waycool speedstar jump. (beer rules!) Sunday we put about 150 miles on the bike with about 50 other guys and now have a severe case of that sunglasses-eye-tanline-sunburn thing. Pass the Noxema, please!

Sun did an early morning jump with Mary (flyangel2) and a few others,...that was fun. 3 jumps with Roger and crew, some great sequential stuff.
