Hmmmmmmm, All the pilots were aware of the raft dive and the location of the raft was called out until it was not a factor for jump ops. Care to tell me where the problem is? I don't recall the chopper pilot going to get the raft but that could have happened I guess.

Wow, just made me flash back to our Palatka joy ride that ended better than it could have!!! Even if you know the DZ like the back of your hand, joyriding in a golf cart at night with no lights and no moon can be pretty dangerous. Who was under it? You or Leslie? Damn, I forgot about that. Skymonkey was pissed

11 reserve ride, wow that a LOT for such a short time frame Thats cause the parties are so good, the packing suffers the next day 8 of the 11 had nothing to do with packing. I'm not sure about the other two

Yes there's room for you and there are always people ready to jump with newer jumpers.

That was before the GC burned up. Believe Hans is sending the Skyvan he's brining in for the spring to Fitz in its place. No, I'm sending him the Skyvan when we're done with it.

If that guy didn't get laid on that thing, he's gay. The girl, towards the end there, was giving him every possible body language come-on. Right there at 6:18 check out what she is looking at AND his goofy "I know it's happening" look. I think he porked her on Wills sofa.

Chopper update: Booked a Bell JetRanger today. Will be here on Thurs. I think. He's planning to fly jumpers on Friday and Saturday. $65 to 5k.

You got three days to get it to Fitz.

You mean old fart.

It's not on my dime and the guy has been warned to cover his ass.

Or post here. Found a place in Tifton that will rent for $125 for the week and split the delivery and pick up charges between the carts ordered. The delivery/pickup was going to be $50 to $100

So...there's a problem with the buyer flying? Not if you go to Guam.

I was informed Monday that the chopper that was slated to be here was sold. I have not given up but I'm not holding my breath. Any leads would be appreciated. Would need to either be close or be trailer-ed to be economically feasible.

Got one better. I texted someone in my phone a while back and got back the "who is this " text. So I started screwing with them. Eventually send one that said, "I've seen you naked". Which for a former stripper and a female skydiver was no help at all. About the time I sent that the thought entered my mind that I might have the wrong number. Yep.

Julie did that.

Bingo...

You're way off, but not worth hashing out again.

It's time for my annual Public Service Announcement. When coming to Fitz. please keep in mind that this is not a year round operational DZ. If you need it, bring it. A lot of time people take for granted things like rubber bands for their D-bag or pull up cords (which Para Gear or Chutingstar probably sent). Think about what you need that you might not be able to find locally. If you brought it with you take it when you leave or make sure it's in a designated trash pile. I don't want your broken useless shit. Your mama don't work there so clean up after yourself. This includes beer cans and bottles on an ongoing basis. There are trash cans everywhere, please use them and maybe even think about either thanking the volunteers that empty them or maybe helping to do one or two yourself. This is a cash event. We have no way to process credit card on site and I have no intention of taking a bunch of out of state checks. Either bring cash or research where the closest ATMs are. Go to your bank and ask them for $2 bills. Yes they still have them. Come to registration and stamp them with our little parachute rubber stamp and spend them in town. It lets the locals know you are spending money in their town. Don't act like an asshole in town. This is a small town with alot of people not used to seeing skydivers in their stores and restaurants. Have a good time but but try to be respectful to the people that live there. Example: Try not to use the F-Bomb in the middle of China-Mart. Don't be the guy who fucks it up for everyone else. When you are about to do something, whether skydiving related or other wise, ask yourself if you would do or be allowed to do it at your home DZ. Don't be afraid to call someone out for doing stupid shit or bring it to someones attention. To my knowledge there has never been a skydiver arrested at or near any of my events. This despite the City of Dublin targeting us for traffic stops and the asshole that decided to drive on the runway in St.Marys not once, not twice but three times in a car that he "borrowed" from someone and grove on a revoked license. The local police a firm on the speed limits in and around town. They are also highly aware of the amount of alcohol consumed after hours at this event. If you get arrested it's not because they are picking on us, it's because you deserve it. Don't call me, I'm not getting you out. I'm sure I'll think of more but this will give some people something to pick apart.

You might also want to post on their facebook page. I don't think many of The Farmers come here.

I gave up on the DonorCycles a loooooong time ago... 3 bikes totaled.. I figured I was running out of cat lives. Sounds like you needed a better teacher.

Lurked my wife's first tandem.

You watch too many movies. Hey, practice spotting and an easy delivery method for the drugs. Problem is, when do you get the cash?? Up front...

You watch too many movies.

It would depend on the situation and the tone of the request/demand. I would have to do a lot of thinking about being with someone who would ask me to give up something I loved.

...or pilots. Never was my strong point.
