bluefingers 0 #1 October 10, 2002 Somebody please cheer me up (hint send kegs of beer). Whoever it was that said progression was frustrating, wasn't kidding. Just got an email saying our plane is STILL not ready, so that make 3 straight weekends with no plane, which means I go uncurrent which means I go BACK on the (*&)(&)(& rope. Sorry, just had to vent ..... Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #4 October 10, 2002 Is there any way you can visit another DZ?

grega 0 #7 October 10, 2002 I totaly understand. I'm beeing grounded too, but not because our plane is in service, but because it's raining for almost 3 weeks. I barely know how the sun looks like? And i have no idea what the hell will i be doing this weekend. Probably drinking beer on the dropzone and waiting for the clouds to go away "George just lucky i guess!"

ernokaikkonen 0 #8 October 10, 2002 What nacmac said. Maybe organize a field trip? I'm sure the other jumpers on your DZ are just as frustrated as you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwilson 0 #10 October 10, 2002 Ooooh Noooo!!!! Not the rope. I think packing some buddys in the car and taking the party to another dz for the weekend sounds like a great plan . YOU CAN DO IT!!! Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fudd 0 #13 October 10, 2002 Try this for therapy: 1. Put on jumpsuit, googles and helmet.2. Get in a car and have a friend drive on the highway.3. Stick your head out the window. After feeling the air in your face for a couple of minute you should feel better. Doesn't beat the real thing, but your body kinda believes you have been skydiving. End the therapy session with lots of beer to complete the sensation! If you have access to a car, maybe go and visit another dz is the solution There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
