hookitt 0 #7 February 8, 2003 It's a beautiful day the sun is shining and the wind is low. I woke up early to go skydive....well... There's a project Ive been putting off and it can no longer wait. .... Yep I had to go into work and I'm here now. Perhaps the weather will be good again tomorrow.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #9 February 8, 2003 I'm here at the office and have just done about 1/2 the work to get the new escrow closed - the other agent is really on the ball. Physical inspection went well, so we're removing the contingency...looking good so far! The day is gorgeous, and I have another new client to take out looking, and actually have managed to keep tomorrow free. Not jumping, though - housecleaning and writing and so forth. It's gonna be a long and tough week coming up, but maybe I'll jump sometime in the next 14 days...but who knows...

SteveM 0 #14 February 8, 2003 I'm spending the whole weekend working on stupid tax's. Crap, I wish hand done all the posting durning each month instead of letting the last 7 months of 2002 just pile up. Of course I jumped 134 times from April '02 to Dec. 15-- so screw it, I had a blast and don't mind paying for it now as it's still ALMOST to cold to jump....... I said almost ....

flyhi 24 #15 February 8, 2003 My boss got fired this week so I am sitting here occasionally doing his and my work. It's hard for me to feel sorry for myself because I can't jump when I realize he was at the pinnacle of a 25-year career, and now it's over. Seeing it all happen made me feel the worst I have felt since a death in the family. A sad thing to watch, especially from the inside.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

flyangel2 2 #18 February 9, 2003 I had some excitement today. WFFC (Michael) came over to my place and I sprayed sticky gooey stuff under his new video helmet. At least he was thinking and brought a drop cloth to cover my kitchen floor Gee, that stuff is really sticky. It looked like some kind of alien was growing out of Micheal's head. I'm sure Micheal is still picking sticky stuff off his arms. Hope the arm hairs grow back okay May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
