jmpnkramer 0 #3 July 20, 2003 0:0:0 Working on my place so I can get my furniture moved in. I have a Middle Infection so I would not be able to jump anyway. Maybe next weekend. Who knows. I am for sure going to Sebastain & Titusville on the 1ST. Kind of ironic being that I only live 4-miles from Z-Hills now. That's Right 4-Miles from one of the Best DZ's in the Country. With A KICK-ASS SWOOP POND!!!!!!!!!!! Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!!!! The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

jceman 1 #4 July 20, 2003 750 miles and 4 DZs, but:only 2:0 Took a CA greenie for her introductory tour of FL and got in a jump each at Sebatian and DeLand. A very tiring but enjoyable weekend, despite being unable to jump at Titusville or JAX. I don't owe any beer, but skybytch on the other hand... (Edited to add that Lisa can sitfly -- first jump on Thursday not withstanding) Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

GrumpySmurf 0 #6 July 20, 2003 First Camera Jump (with an FFX and a PC-101). The g/f got graded by Fumio Demura for her first karate belt. The examination panel thought she had done very well - then it was mentioned she only had 4 weeks of training - which really raised a few eyebrows. They started her on learning the sai today.
