zclubber1 0 #1 August 20, 2001 What an awesome weekend! Nobody here at the office can appreciate it, I but I had a blast. Got my A license - Beer!First 4-way - Beer!First 5-way - Beer!First 9-way - Beer!Plus if you count my first downwind landing a week ago, that makes 5 in a week. I'm almost spending as much on beer as I am on jumps! Well, not really, but it's still a lot of beer.P.S. Just wanted to post something that didn't have anything to do with those "other" threads up there today! -can't you trip like I do-Clubber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #7 August 20, 2001 What Clubber didn't mention was:First funneled exit! BEERFirst unintentional rodeo (didn't you land on top of Doug? Shudder - not a pretty picture...)BEERGood to see your Sunday went better than mine!ciel bleu-Michele"What of the dreams that never die?

zclubber1 0 #8 August 20, 2001 Michele,LOL on the unintentional rodeo. I don't think Doug was expecting it. I certainly wasn't! If I list every one of my first screw ups from here on out, I'll be an Old Hand in no time! The way I figure it, there's screw ups, then there's SCREW-UPS. As long as I stay away from the more dangerous, capitalized variety, I should be ok.Carl,Hell yeah, I'll jump with you. Jeez, as often as you come to Perris now, you'd think it was your home dz!! Oh, and I promise not to land on your back. At least not intentionally. -can't you trip like I do-Clubber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merrick 0 #9 August 20, 2001 Quote"let me be the first to congratulate you dude! good job!"....as Sinister grumbles to himself (in a tone only those of us that are stuck under 12,000 ft.. hell under 10 ft can understand), "F***kin lucky skydiving bastards... 10 jumps in one weekend getting punk... while I'm stuck growing freakin roots on this evil dirty planet!" Bwahaha, I hear ya man.Disclaimer: Please take no offense and hold no ill will toward Sin, it truly was not him saying such things... this was merely an attempt at a joke to make us broke-ass grounded skydivers laugh, give a hearty chuckle, or even simply smile!
