  1. Looks great Bill!

    Now we can look even more stunning on our 2ways! We should really look into getting camera on our next jump :P

    Can't wait to see it in the air on Sunday! :)

  5. Awesome weekend at SDC! :)
    The canopy course was amazing and it was fantastic to see so many old friends and to meet so many new people! (sorry I missed you cocheese :()

    I won't even attempt to start naming names... but I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

    I'm really ashamed of my breaking an entering skills though.



    I was impressed when she asked for a credit card, but I'm changing my locks! :D

    And next week we gotta show amy the bait machine.



    I'd prefer you just showed me how to sitfly better :P

    I love riverplex, but with the bridge closing, it won't be as easy to get too. Fitness America is on 116, duh i pass it everyday on my way to work. I'll call 'em and find out the fees.



    I used to go to that gym. It was perfect for me, and affordable! Or move to Chicago and go to my Y - $21/month.

    Now isn't this special ?



    Ha, you better pray i don't snag her while she's not expecting it.



    I was wondering when you might jump into this conversation Sunny. Everyone already warned me to wear a full face helmet when we jump ;)

  17. Geez Doug, I guess I love you too. Don't let it go to your head though... you'll need to be sure your helmet fits for our exits! :P

  20. Hey Sunny!

    Happy Chinese New Year!

    For those of you on the edge of your seats, the "special lunch" included smoked sausage pizza and deli sandwiches. Every since the Catholics bought us, this hospital has not been the same! :S

    So I guess you win Sunny, not only did you guess the special, you ate it! ;)

    Ok, AJ, I get it. Now I know why you didn't pack your rig last season!



    AJ didn't pack cause she knows how much i love packing for her. :)


    I didn't pack for so many reasons :$ But now thanks to Jeth and JustABill I've gotten it into the bag once. Now time for more practice!

    And Sunny I'll be looking for some packing tips as well, but don't worry you're not losing a customer... I'll still need you during those days of training and 4way competition! (and um.. til this canopy gets more jumps on it so it's easier to pack!) ;)

  24. I lived in Japan for a year...

    Not sure if the kanji translate the same...

    In Japanese it says:

    Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

    ;)
