How's the weather this time of year?chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #2 January 15, 2002 Well....I'll be there of course!!!!!!! The weather is anyones guess. If it's going to be sunny you can hope for 50-60 degrees or so and shouldn't be windy. Just bring some gloves, long underwear, beer, strippers, and midgets........"I got some beers....Let's Drink em!!!"Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aufreefly 0 #3 January 15, 2002 I will be there too. Just do not get too close to Clay...he is prone to explosions of the stomach! With someone new coming to the dz we may have to bring Jenga out of retirement!michael hunt (yes, that is my real name...and i've heard them all) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #5 January 15, 2002 Anything special going on that day or are you just in town?The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #6 January 16, 2002 nothing special going on - just stuck there for the weekend. figured better there than Madison, WI - my next destination. Actually did my first jump at Skydive Atlanta. It will be my third time back. So how do I pick you guys out of the crowd? without going up and sniffing everyone to see if it's Clay? or Mike Hunt... vastly different smells I imagine. I know Doug Glover and Craig Knowlton a little, and Ferg is an acquaintance but how will I find you guys? I expect Doug will be doing his Nemesis thing, Craig his AFF thing, Ferg his tandem thing... what are the dz.commers going to be up to providing weather permits?chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...

chopchop 0 #7 January 16, 2002 hey also, what the hell is Jenga? do I gotta get a hotel or are their blankets and shit I can curl up and sleep in? do people sleep at the dz this time of year? Clay, are you just teasing about always having beer so let's drink em? or do i gotta bring a bottle of Jack? um, let's see, you'll see me right away - I'll be the new guy standing there trying to figure out whether to put on his freefly stuff or his RW suit - depends on what you all are doing I guess... I guess Clay will be hmmmm... doing his best lawn dart impression? How about Mike and Phil? getting on the big ways or flying vert?chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...

TheMarshMan1 0 #8 January 16, 2002 "Just bring some gloves, long underwear, beer, strippers, and midgets........"OK, I understand how all of those could be very necessary items except for the midgets. Do you have some sort of fetish with midgets now Clay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #9 January 16, 2002 ok, Clay, I got gloves and long underwear and I understand you want me to go shopping at The Gold Club - still open? Might have to settle for Oasis but where do I get the freakin' midgets?chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...

freeflir29 0 #10 January 16, 2002 There is a bit of an inside joke about Midget porn at the DZ. My pics in the mugshot gallery or just ask for me at the manifest. Not sure if Ferg will be around. He just graduated college and I think is leaving to go back in the Air Force some time soon. I'll be lawndarting.....I'm starting to fly with Mike after the DZO suggested that we were close in skill level and could learn from each other. I always sleep in the hangar. This time of year a couch is usually pretty easy to come by. You'll need a sleeping bag as it can git a little nipply around 3-4 AM. If you need one I have an extra.

chopchop 0 #11 January 16, 2002 thanks Clay, if the weather is good, I'll need that sleeping bag. If the weather sucks, I'll pop back down to Tampa for the weekend and do the Z-Hills thing.chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...

Dutchboy 0 #16 January 17, 2002 You never know. I just might be able to make it that weekend. Don't know if I have to work or not that day yet. Doug is getting himself a sweeeeeeet Cessna 206 and he's making me help him pick it up. Some times it stinks being a CFI.

Brokeneagle 0 #17 January 17, 2002 So, Dutch, guess I won't have to save your slot on the night RW jump at Atlanta Airsportz ... chopchop, glad you're comin' ta visit; just got my 4th cast off, but am not cleared to jump on my own- maybe we'll meet next time Brokeneagle.

Dutchboy 0 #18 January 17, 2002 QuoteSo, Dutch, guess I won't have to save your slot on the night RW jump at Atlanta Airsportz oooh, night jumps I didn't realize they were doing those that weekend. Even if I have to work during the day, I'll probably be available for night jumps!The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #19 January 17, 2002 night jumps? did somebody say nightjumps? ok, where is Atlanta Airsportz? and which night is this?Hey Brokeneagle, sorry I'll miss you this time. I'll be back many more times this year.Cool about Doug's new plane...chopchopPD makes canopies all day long, you only have one life, when in doubt, cut away...

Dutchboy 0 #20 January 17, 2002 QuoteCool about Doug's new plane...It will be even cooler if I really get to go pick it up with him. His insurance has some ridiculous requirements for the CFI that signs him off to fly it. I've never heard of an insurance company trying to mandate requirements for who can endorse somebody before. After all, the FAA says I can legally fly the plane and give the required endorsement.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #22 January 18, 2002 you can get directions from their website http://www.airsportz.comIf you are coming from Atlanta just head North on I-75 to exit 306, GA 140. Go West (left) crossing US-41 and US-53, about 12 miles. Just after the Red Camero parked near a bridge you hang a left on Old Dalton road. Old Dalton is the only 4-way intersection after US-53. There is a green sign for some camp which is on the other side of Old Dalton. The DZ is a couple miles down on your right, there will be a huge skydiving sign with an arrow on your left.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
