  2. You should have them come ot the 4-way meet on Saturday at XP for the Carolina Skydiving League. Technically it's for a skydiving league, which means they are technically "rookies" - less than 500 jumps or whatever the criteria is now in the CaSL. There are a few 3-person teams looking for rookie 4th!! They could clean house... :)

  6. Rental gear is already being reserved at Square 3 for the Invasion!! :)
    ATTENTION CROSSKEYS STUDENTS AND RENTERS!

    Sign up now in Square 3 for your gear preferences!

    You are required to already have your travel dates confirmed before reserving gear. There will be a deposit required this year - applied to your rental at the invasion of course, and rental discounts.

    The list of experienced Crosskeys Invasion Junkies is growing as well - lots of buzz at our DZ B|.

    Oh, and there IS a problem with the BB on the CK website. I can't even get a new registration through, so I can't post there either.

  8. IT IS HOT HOT HOT!!

    We had 12 teams in the 2-way meet and we had to have a jump-off to determine the champs:
    Congrats to Karl Schuch and CathyAnn Cadogan!
    They each won a free jump.

    There were 7 4-way teams in the after-hours creeper meet, and believe it or not, there were NO INJURIES! Free Koozies to the winners.

    On Friday there were ladies from 3 states participating in the NJ Women's record - Set at 13 on the first jump and broken with a 16-way on the second jump!! 2 for 2 :)
    Oh - and John Alanis won the limbo contest last night B|. Shame on you if missed this contest.

    There is still a lot of jumping to be done today - 6 organizers and more comfortable temperatures than yesterday.

    Come on out!!!

  14. I'm pretty sure KWoo is right - 78. That' what I can remember in my 14 years there. There was a 100-way attempt (all women) in 1996 that did not yield any completions, but gained the DZ some really nice ladies' facilities :)
    CSS has the lift power and landing room for 100+, and with about 6-12 months of planning could easily host an event. All it needs is a dedicated & connected leader, qualified jumpers and a loss of military contracts so the planes are available ;).

    (Miss you NC'ers!)

    and vibrating



    Mmmmm, yes. The Casa even has a couple of VERY special seats that women have been known to fight over.

    Explains the screams ever few minutes as well... :$

    I guess it's not loud enough to drown those out. :)

  17. Stay close enough to stay late! Ladies and wenches and pirating sea-farers and jesters will be feasting, the castle is being decorated and the season will kick off in grand style. The moat (erm, well, pool) even has water it already.
    Rest Inn is cleaner and a bit less "hourly" in it's clientelle than the Red Carpet. If you have a nice budget, then the Best Western is very close and it's new.

    Also, Deptford is not very far away if nothing pans out in W'town.

    Come into Square 3 and say "hey" to me!

  18. If you are road-tripping, Raeford is quite close to I-95, and yes, it reminds me of camp, too :)
    Raeford is fun, plus they have a restaurant and bar open most days. CSS has better bathrooms, but then I'm partial to the plumber who put them in :$. If you go to Raeford, definitely take your shower shoes.

    Either way, you'll have much warmer weather there than up North! B|

  20. It still hasn't sunk in. I saw them both at PIA.

    Danny was at the Blackjack table, so of course, I joined. Full of jokes, off-color humor, and ribbing most the ones he rubbed the wrong way. It was 5 years ago this weekend, at the South of the Border Boogie in Mexico, that I said to him "you are the biggest Asshole I've ever loved". He became fond of introducing himself that way thereafter.

    Bob and I had a great conversation just as he was on his way out of Reno on the Thursday. He was 2 days away from leaving for Palau; his daughter had just told him she and her husband were trying to start a family of their own and he was so excited about the prospect of being a Granddaddy; he had filled most of his work/jumping schedule through the beginning of the fall in the 4 days he spent at PIA. I saved his phone number so we could have dinner at the next big-way event and talk about his journeys.

    Such a big hole and no way to refill what these men left.

    My love to you both and your families, friends and the others whose lives you have touched.

    Save time for a beer with Jd and I. Is the "big boss" coming?



    You got it, I love rubber!! :)

    First round of :D on me, then you buy the rest!

    No, the BB isn't coming - well, he's not joining me there, anyway... :$

  22. Franklin Co airport is the municipal airport in Franklin Co., and Northeast Raleigh airport that Melissa mentions is the little place off of US 64 east of Raleigh.

    "Noth Raleigh Airport" is the name of the CSS airstrip. There is known to be a maintenance facility there for Twin Otters.

    try this: Use your thumb to squish a skittle on your desk. Most of the shell will stay connected to the inner soft part. Eat it. Pretty good that way.



    Yes, but then you lose most of the sour powdery part. Quite the loss that is!

    The end of the bag is the best - all that puckery goodness!!

    I do hope you mean 02/22/07 ;).

    And, Fortson, are you going to wear that white jumpsuit that makes me think of the Michelin man? I LOVE that one on you, you know :).
