Chapsta 0 #1 November 13, 2003 My dropzone (skydive san marcos) is supposed to pick up our new otter tomorrow! But as I'm looking out the window right now.. I'm not sure if I'll get to jump it... for the second weekend in a row... due to bad weather I just wanted to boast/gripe! Hope everybody has a good weekend!

Casch 0 #4 November 13, 2003 We have perfectly clear blue skies here in Portland, OR, and my new job rocks! I work Sun-tues and Sun-Wed alternating weeks, so I will ALWAYS be able to go to the DZ, weather permitting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperconway 0 #6 November 13, 2003 I wonder if any RW people will return to SSM since an Otter returns. Probably jump it next weekend. Hope the weather blows on through for ya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 November 13, 2003 Spaceland is weird like that, it'll be crappy everywhere, but nice there, or it'll be crappy there and great everywhere else. Sort of like Deguello coming up with the Otter to train during the AOT boogie due to weather in Spaceland.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

meltdown 0 #8 November 13, 2003 Wednesday was a great jumping day - got in 1 T-Bo jump with practically no one on the load. Had to cut out of work early but it was worth it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakydiver 0 #9 November 13, 2003 You could be like me - blown knee - third time in 12 months. Just bought my brand new rig three weeks prior. Just got repacked.

Is it a permanant fixture at Aggieland? That's quite a find and if it's like the ones I've jumped, they climb at an incredible rate. Very impressive.The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

AggieDave 6 #12 November 14, 2003 Its here all winter and into a bit of the spring for sure! If it goes well, it might just stay longer...much longer.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chapsta 0 #19 November 14, 2003 Man... what a tease! I woke up early... went out to my work (over an hour drive) and picked up my paycheck... drover another long while and showed up at the DZ. A little overcast and windy... but nothing we couldn't handle... but, unfortunately, there was no pilot available and the otter isn't ready till tomorrow! Well, I hope all of you had a better FRI!
