RevJim 0 #1 December 1, 2003 Couldn't find 'em, so here they are. (Sorry if someone aready started them this weekend.....) 3:2:0(1) My wife is being good to me lately. 2 Awsome Birdman Jumps. Only 3 loads went up today, the first clear day in weeks. 1 hop-n-pop and 2 to altitude. I wasn't going to remove my rig from my suit for 3,500 feet, so I got on the last 2 only. 0 beer I owe. (1) Patman says I owe for jumping my Birdman at Omro. I disagree, since there has been BirdMan jumps there, and it wasn't my first. I give in though, and I'll just bring a case with next time I'm there to appease the beer gods. All in all, a good weekend. Who's next?It's your life, live it!

Stacy 0 #3 December 1, 2003 2*:1:0 2 .commers to remain unnamed observed partaking in synchronized projectile puking at the fire (ZHills). 1 jump saturday. Had to wait till it warmed up, it was a chillly day in FL! warmed up today nicely, but sunday is hangover day, especially after a night of Aviatrrrr's rum punch margaritas or whatever they were. Jump was a HILARIOUS 6 way with eener, galen, the111, aviatrr, and dagny. Dagny will grow up to be a great flying Hellfish one day! ON a side note, I know nothing about the black smoke and missing fuels that may have been related to the bonfire. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #4 December 1, 2003 0:3:2 Did my 200th jump. Also did my first reverse cross country: a clear and pull from 10,500 right over the DZ, then we flew downwind until we ran out of altitude. We landed 13 miles from the DZ Edit: I just ran the numbers myself. We went from about 42.72697W 88.14993S to 42.79964W 88.37119E. That's about 12.3 miles. Still not bad. The tailwind gave us an effective glide ratio of about 6.36:1. Edit again: Now with a map. Because making maps is more fun than doing homework. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This weeekend 0:5:1 5 jumps, and one case for my new jump suit. I got up 175 jumps in my 1st 12 months and it's taken me 3 months to get another 20.

jceman 1 #6 December 1, 2003 :4:0 A pleasant weekend in Sebastian, some very fun jumps with some dotcommers and a great one with Dave Brown. Happy Birthday to eeneR, btw. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
