I know, it's too late, but, if it's not skydiving, then it's sex. If it's not sex, then it's flying, or SEX. Okay, if it's not SEX, it's sleep.I never realized how many choices there where! Don't tell me I can't! I already know that! Haven't you seen my x-rays?

Hey Perky! We had WINDS last Sunday! Did a hop n' pop with the DZO and a couple others. Winds at 3500 were at 29kts. (WX Brief after the jump is where we got the numbers- take them as you will.) Didn't let up until around 1100ft. Okay, need to jump (dumb thinking with newbies wanting to go) . DZO let one of our newbies on the load, and, no he didn't land on. Winds at 10,500 were so strong that a full cut in the 182 would have given us a negative ground speed. I opened at 3500 and thought that Oshkosh (about 8 or so miles away) would be a great place to go. A little fancy inputs to the front risers and I actually held my ground (loaded 1.5;1). The same newbie landed about a quarter mile off again. He got back and started to set up another load! I told him I wasn't going back up in those conditions three times before he quit asking. He was told by at least three of us he shouldn't jump, but he got a load together anyway. Yes, not only did he not land on, but just about pounded himself into the ground doing a VERY low turn. I personally take winds aloft and on the ground into the equation.Over 20 on the ground, no way. It just floors me that when the higher experienced jumpers are saying "NO" why don't the newbies get it and grab a beer instead? Experience will teach them, just hope injury isn't added in there!

What size main are you used to? (Doesn't say in his info) 45minutes? You should owe for the extra time. But the not looking part, I agree the bigger the DZ the harder it would be. However, even at our small DZ, things get busy, and we lose track of people for hours at times. Grow up and take care of yourself, but be sure to let the people at the DZ in on your concerns. Just don't burn your ties unless you feel you want to find another DZ. Skydivers are still the best group of people I hang around with. Don't tell me I can't! I already know that!

Now that sounds like a real warm-me-up drink to me! Don't tell me I can't! I already know that! Haven't you seen my x-rays?

Where did you go? Raymoore by the lake! Cool to see Birdman at Omro, and YES, you owe beer! by the way, how many times did we land off today? Oh, ME? None! Great to see you out! My numbers... 0;13(beers);2(jumps) 79 knot winds at 10,500 today! Don't tell me I can't! I already know that! Haven't you seen my x-rays?
