PhillyKev 0 #2 June 15, 2001 "TodayVariable cloudiness with a chance of showers or a late afternoon thunderstorm. "Apparently variable cloudiness means some of them are at 1400', some more at 2400', and even more at 6000'. At least that's the current conditions at the dz.

Grogs 0 #4 June 15, 2001 Hmm, that's odd. Stacy told me she was going out to the DZ to jump because she saw blue skies. Maybe she was just trying to piss me off about the fact I'm stuck at work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #5 June 15, 2001 yeah...occasionally those 3 layers of clouds are in perfect alignment allowing a hint of blue to come through. But I'm thinking they're probably not sending loads up. Hmmmm, maybe I'll give them a call and find out. I am almost an hour away, might be better down there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #6 June 15, 2001 You guys who live within 30 minutes of a DZ SUCK! It takes me 3 hours to get to my DZ, so I can only get there on the weekends after driving thru 3 hours of whuffo beach traffic.Dammit, we need a good dropzone in Montgomery County, MD! It would be sooo cool to be able to just drive over after work & jump out of a plane after a hard day's cloning!Oh well. With the weather the way it is, I guess the beer light is on!Speed Racer"De plaene!! De plaene!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
