  1. Good luck with getting new gear. I love my rig and would never sell it even if I stopped skydiving (it has lots of good memories and probably isn't worth that much anyway - planning to get a new rig soon and keep current one as a back up) .

  2. So sorry to hear that. Hope the weather gets better for you. Evelyn Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  3. Yay, so we can sit around and be miserable together . JK, I'm catching up on things to do around the house, but I'd really rather be jumping . Evelyn Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  4. I hate you . Evelyn Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  5. Ahhhh Jeff, some things never change . Love ya anyway
  6. No problem jumping without the team, my team mates are probably jumping today. I just can't afford to! Sucks to be me . Evelyn Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  7. Okay, so who else would love to jump this weekend but can't? I just want to know that I'm not alone . I would love to jump this weekend but my team isn't training and due to the cost associated with being on a team (slots, camera guy, coach, packers, possibly tunnel, hotel, etc.) I tend to curtail my jumping to just team training days (unless a boogie or special event). So I'm looking at a perfectly good Cali sky and saying DAMN . So help me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one not jumping on a beautiful day .

  8. Yes...I need to come to LP. When is it? If I don't have plans I will be there
  9. Hi, how about a skydiving grandma from Idaho as a new friend? Awesome! I'd love to have you as a new friend. I didn't start skydiving until I was 50. I'm old enough to be a grandmother but my kids just aren't coopetating . Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  10. Team is going great. Had a small hiccup last month with one of our team mates leaving the team, but was able to replace him with a very experienced skydiver (he was looking for a team, but it hadn't panned out so he joined us) so everyting is on course and after 2 hours in the Eloy tunnel we will hopefully kick ass at the next SSL meet and go on to Nationals....fingers crossed .

  11. OMG Jeanne!! I actually thought about you last week when i was in Seattle, but was only there for a few hours before catching a plane to LA. We still have to do that high speed jump. Are you coming to Chick's Rock this year? Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  12. Hey JP how are you? I heard you moved out of state. I rarely jump at Perris anymore since my team trains at Elsinore so I don't keep up with Perris news so much. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  13. Yeah, but we made it into Skydiving Magazine (see attached... sorry the scan's not too great)! Yeah I saw that, pretty cool. The one time I made it into Parachutist it was a photo of the Airspeed Day at Eloy and it showed the formation being built,except for me grabbing for grips....the story of my life .

  14. Thanks Gia. Need to see more of you. Get your butt out to Elsinore! Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  15. Lindsey, good to see you at Elsinore occasionally. You should come visit us more often
  16. Don't think I've met you but have read a lot of your posts so feel like I have. Thanks for the welcome back
  17. How did I know you would be there? Love you too Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  18. Lindsey, good to see you at Elsinore occasionally. You should come visit us more often
  19. KiisAnne it's been great seeing you at Elsinore. Wish I could be there next weekend but my team is going to Eloy to do 2 hrs. worth of training in the tunnel (bigger tunnel than Perris so we can do more). I'll look forward to seeing you next time. 10 way was fun even though we tied for last . Ev Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  20. I used to post on this website semi frequently. Then my home computer crashed and it was blocked from work so I haven't posted for a while. Looking at the threads I see very few familiar faces. So just wondering if any of my old friends are out there. I'd also be happy to make new friends. Love having a site devoted to skydivers since most of my non-skydiving friends think I'm a little crazy but skydivers can understand where I'm coming from. So anyone out there....cocheese (know you are), NW skydiver, Vanillaskygirl, etc....... Look forward to hearing from you. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  21. Senior discounts! Not on everything, but some businesses, like cruise ships offer senior discounts for people 55+. Looking forward to more discounts when I reach 65 :) Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  22. Yeah, seems wierd huh, but yeah, we have to ride a harley to ride with them. Oh, they would still be good friends, and we could ride with them, just not on their harley outings. And they assure us that harley is the best bike around. We haven't yet decided yet so we'll see. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  23. I totally understand your thinking, and I agree, except I have to have a Harley in order to ride with our friends. I know I will have to pay for just for the Harley name, but like I said the whole reason for getting a bike is to be able to ride with our friends and their Harley group.

  24. That's what I was thinking was the Sporster for me. I don't want something big and heavy, but I would like a back rest, was told I could add that to a Sporster. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller
  25. That is too cute! I love Flyaway Vegas since that is where I went for coaching before we had a wind tunnel in Perris. Does Keith still own it? He was my coach when I went to Flyaway when I was going thru AFF and such a great guy, I've been to Flywayay a couple times since then, but not for a couple years.
