skybytch 259 #1 November 4, 2003 Wow. What a weekend. I haven't had that much fun with that many good friends in awhile. Thanks so much everyone who came out to welcome me to Florida. Finished a great weekend off by taking today off work too. Headed up to Deland with eeneR and Dagny; the plan was to visit Kolla and Gillian at PD and arlo at TSO and maybe try to squeeze in a jump or two before taking eeneR to Orlando for her flight home. Arrived at Deland about noon after I had a bit of van trouble - intermittent fuel delivery problems... So anyway, called Kate's cell and found out that she'd be there in about an hour. Headed over to TSO to bug arlo. Checked out her store, Dagny almost bought a helmet, I was tempted to buy some sunglasses (since the ones I have somehow got caked with cake ). Headed over to PD (I had to get some paperwork from them); Kolla was out to lunch but Gillian - who I've been wanting to meet since she was my dealer rep when I was at Square One - was there and we chatted for awhile. Back to the dz we went. After we had lunch it was time to get eeneR to the airport. Since my vans fuel delivery issues hadn't been addressed by a competent technician, Dagny offered to go in her car, which turned out to be an adventure in itself (but I'll let eeneR or Dagny tell that tale). I stayed at Deland cuz Kate had shown up and I really wanted to jump with her. Ended up doing a three way that a) reminded me how fun it is to turn a bunch of points and b) showed me exactly what doing a bunch of coached tunnel time can do for your flying. Kate and Carsten had just finished doing five and a half hours in the tunnel and 20 some jumps in four days. They were rock solid in the air - we did 24 points or so. Had I not brainlocked and slid out and went a bit low and floated up a bit - i.e. if I were half as good as they are - we probably could have done 40. Every grip was there waiting for me when I turned (or floated back up, or sunk back down, or slid back in). Way fun skydive! Got on the sunset "big way" (a 12 way). Planned and completed three points, the last of which was a BFR (big f-ing round). Gotta love those loose sunset loads that work. Dagny got back just before the sunset load went up. After the jump we hung out and drank beers with some of the locals. I was talking to Kate and mentioned that while we were standing there drinking beer, people in California were working... so of course we both thought it'd be fun if I DD'ed dgskydive just to rub in how much fun his boss and I were having in Deland. It shouldn't have taken more than 2 1/2 hours to get back to Sebastian. We left a bit after 8 pm; me in my van and Dagny following in her car. We arrived here at 1 am, me riding with her in her car. Damn van repeated it's antics and I ended up having a tow truck take it to a shop about 80 miles from home I'm sooooo lucky that Dagny was sooooooo sweet to follow me back, then sit and wait with me on the side of the road, then give me a ride back hiome.... Girl - you rock!!!! If you've pm'ed me in the past day or so, I'll answer you on Tuesday. For now... it's time for sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I am sooo glad that I made the trip to Deland with you and eeneR. Besides the great company, it was cool to check out a completely new to me DZ and get a feel for the vibe there. I think I was spoiled by all the men holding doors for me...not that I'm complaining. And visiting PD and meeting Kate and Ari were very cool as well. Had fun watching your 12 way (or 10 way or 11 way or whatever it became ) form, too! I don't know if things happen for a reason, but it felt that way yesterday. Running late getting eeneR to the airport and her flight gets delayed...sweet! Deciding at the last minute to follow you to Deland and being there to help you get back home....awesome! I just have to assume that my being unable to jump despite my best efforts was meant to be, too. It definitely was a fun weekend!
