Weekend Numbers

Recommended Posts

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.

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. XKCD

Got out to Clewiston (FL) a little late, but well worth it. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the view of Lake Okeechobee was great!

5.5 hours from ZHills to JAX via the NPL (I95)>:(:4:0

Met some new (to me) dz.commersB|, saw some others I hadn't seen in a while, did some fun jumps, watched some good competition, drank a few beers. Good weekend.


Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

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!!!

Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool!

not pleased with the great organizing prinicple's decision to put the dz on a windhold twice in a day...



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. ;)
