indyz 1 #4 December 1, 2002 0:0:0 Went to Skydive Chicago on Friday. I doubted that I would get to jump, but the couch at the DZ is always more fun than the couch at home. The wind was howling, manifest said 15-20, but I think it was more like 25-30 and gusting higher. The Otter went up a few times, without me. One person landed on the other side of the river, another broke something important landing in a driveway (I don't know who or what). On the positive side, I learned how to do a fingertrap and saw some SEMO jumpers that I haven't bumped into in a while. I'm going to claim that I don't owe beer because I didn't jump.

riddler 0 #8 December 1, 2002 7:3:0 Back up to my old digs for Friday King Air jumps. Three good sit-flies. One solo, one two-way and one three-way. I *almost* have the stand, but that's a tough one - used it for several seconds to get down to the low sitter.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Good weekend. 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

Cornholio 0 #23 December 2, 2002 0:0:0 I have been sick since Wednesday, and my sinuses have been all whacked, so I didn't jump at all this weekend. Also the GF stayed away from me during my cold spell, so that explains the first number. Only 25 more days till I get to ELOY!!! WOOOHHOO!!! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a short one as well.....but when the swoopers are getting blown sideways into the RV park, a windhold isn't such a bad idea. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
