jerm 0 #29 March 10, 2003 0:1:4 1 jump at JumpTown in Orange, Mass.. VERY nice place... friendly as all hell -- i showed up to deliver a canopy to someone, asked around to borrow a rig, and after getting across to the two nice people what i was NOT a 20-jump-wonder who wouldn't be able to handle a triathalon 135 at 1.7, was given a rig to use, immediately found someone to jump with, and made my first jump at Jumptown, first jump on a triathalon, first time borrowing gear from someone i didn't know, first jump with katie. After 2 months out i expected a lot of rust... but after we got our fallrates worked out, i turned on my head, parked myself right in front of her and just stayed there..... very sweet. thanks jumptown!!! -jerm Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pd190 0 #43 March 10, 2003 1:7:2 1- Great Safety Day Attended. We had coffee, doughnuts, and OJ at 7:00 a.m. and started Safety Day. Good classes and good info. 7- Good jumps through Sat and Sun. Some four-way and HopnPops just for fun. Great Sunset HopnPop on Saturday! 2- Very strong rum and cokes (large 64oz glass) 3/4 rum, ice and a dash of coke!! All in All, the weekend went great! Beach jumps and a kickin' birthday party planned for next weekend!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #44 March 10, 2003 I didn't pay the $34 parking:0:0 Hinckley opens this weekend, so hopefully that second number changes! My old roommate had her bachellorette "party" this past weekend at the bars along Rush/Division. We didn't get around to Pin the Macho on the Man, but I did make sure to get pictures of her doing a blow job shot off of some guy. She did a little poll dancing, but I locked the male stripper that I got in my room...that was probably selfish of me.

Zeemax 0 #48 March 10, 2003 Berrocca's sold in most place's, Tesco's, Boots etc.. Echinecea is a little harder to get. Some tescos do it, again, so do some boots. Do you have a Costsco near you? thats the best place to buy it. A mssive bottle cheaply. Its either a tablet, or liquid. Depends which you prefer. Once of each a day on the first sign of symptons. Wont cure it instantly, but it means you can still do stuff.

FUN 1 case owed cause I landed on the asphalt taxi strip by a foot. All in all a wonderful weekend. I am so glad to finally be back in the air. I got to meet AKAGQ finally on Sunday. You are taller than you r licture lets on. Went to dinner with DiverDriver and DaGimp and another friend Sat night. For those of you who haven't met DD...he is a great guy and lots of fun. Thanks for doing dinner with us. Gimpy is loads of fun too, just don't let him lay on the guilt trip for not jumping with him! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

dterrick 0 #50 March 10, 2003 1:5:7 One very special day in the air. 5 Jumps at Hollister. Not so special? Well, I'm from Winnipeg, a teeny tiny DZ cloaked in snow and negative temperatures sooooooo... First out of country jump First Kingair jump (and all that goes along with that) First time I've worn a seatbelt First high altitude jump (18k all day on O2!!) First formation bigger than a 4 way First hybrid dive (did it count, Seb?) First skydiving T shirt (really!!) I could throw in a few more but I thought I should stop at "keg" before I implicate myself into "buy brewery"More on Hollister elsewhere. Apart from FJC and graduation day MArch 8 will likely remain among the best skydiving memories of my career. For all those dot.commers who met me this weekend THANKS for a great day. I'll be back (use your best Arnie S voice) Dave T Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
