Skydive Dallas is open everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday. Oh yeah, they (SDD) are also open on a lot of holidays. Sis

Just so everyone knows, Merrick doesn't drink, so even if he weren't injured, he wouldn't have participated in the free beer activities! LOL He takes care of Pammi (and me too, sometimes!) when we get drunk! Which she did, Thursday night! I didn't hear her puking outside the tent, even though I had all the windows open on the Pimp Mobile, which was parked RIGHT there! Of course, I was passed out myself! hehe Dutch, 3 jumps huh? I don't feel bad then for only making 4 from Friday-Sun. and I was at the hospital a lot and hungover some too! hehe See you all at the dz soon! I didn't jump as much as I wanted at Quincy so I have still got the jump bug BAD! I have been bitten and I want to jump jump jump. Something about Quincy really helped calm my nerves!! Crazy, huh? Sis

I am just glad that Merrick didn't get hurt any worse than he did. It really sucks for him though. He was a real trooper, however! He insisted Pam and I jump and still have fun. He did really great on Sunday, riding around in the golf cart all day!! I can't imagine what a personality I might have had if it was me that got hurt! If you look at things realistically, it is more logical that either Pam or I would be hurt, considering our "landing history"!! hehe Just goes to show you can't predict some injuries in this sport. That landing area was weird as hell. I made two helicopter jumps and didn't stand up either one of them. The two jumps I made at the regular landing zone at the Quincy airport were perfect no-wind surfs ending in stand-ups! So I don't know whether it was the landing area, or just ME and being anxious about that heli/bi-plane landing area. BTW, Merrick mentioned the other injuries that occurred over there, and in addition to his ankle and the broken wrist...there was a spinal injury from a butt landing that resulted in a jumper being paralyzed. BUMMER :( Sis (get better soon so we can all go jump again, Merrick my bro!!)

ahhh I feel so wanted...

Well, start imbibing then!!

Jess...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I am sorry I missed it! I didn't even know. I hope you got to jump, and I hope you had a great birthday!! What a bunch of cool whuffos!! On my birthday last year my grandma made me a cake and did the icing with a parachute on it. It was a round, but that was the only picture she could find in her ancient encyclopedias! hehe I thought it was really sweet, though! She did a good job! Hugs to you, Sis

Michele, SCR stands for Star Crest Recipient. It means you were base for an 8-way or larger star formation. Get a copy of the latest issue of Parachutist and go to the article about the RW revolution (the title is something along those lines). In the bottom corner of one of the pages is a good description of what the SCR and SCS (Star Crest Soloist) are and who invented them. (Bill Newell, not USPA). They are awards stemming from the days when RW wasn't like it is today, and they are in memoriam. The SCR is much easier than the SCS (I haven't yet attempted the SCS - maybe at Quincy!) You have to fly into the 8th slot or later on the SCS, not just lay base. The best part of getting your SCR/SCS is the ceremony! hehe Sis (SCR # 14358)

I believe you are referring to the "wrist." She must have broken both wrists on landing. OUCH! I am impressed that she didn't quit! Sis

Oooh baby I love it when a man gives me control!! Can I do whatever I like to you? Sis

LOL@pilotdave!! hehe I totally agree! Here I am, waiting for Quincy and all these nutbars can do is talk about jumping! I haven't jumped in almost three weeks (not as bad as dave there but still...) and I am jonesing! Shut up, Pyke, you gay motherfucker!! HAHAHA Sis

well she left her 'poo in the dz.shower and the DZO was very intoxicated too...we went to eat in Stillwater and when we got back the dzo was standing in the middle of the room, in a robe, screaming, and threw her shampoo bottles in the floor...then started kicking them around the floor like a kickball or something!! he was hollering about how someone left all their shit in the shower and it apparently just really pissed him off! (we walked onto this scene) i whisper to pam "Isn't that your shampoo?" and she was like, "Yeah." Well she said to him that it was hers and he went off on her. They got into a screaming match and she walked out saying she would never come back and he said good...well they made up...she was back the next week!

well I hope he can get these replies but I would doubt it! modem lines are hard to come by at quincy, i heard. i know he has web capable phones but still. anyhow, chuck if you can receive this: we won't be there until thursday night so we'll find you I promise!!!! hugs and tell your wife good luck on the accuracy and maybe could she give me a few pointers? LOL Sis

Dar, I remember you! How are you?!? Glad to "hear" from you! Sis

Omri, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! HAHAHA Sis

Aww, girl I am SO sorry! I haven't had a chance to ask you today about it. If all else fails, you can jump my rig at Quincy. I'll jump it then you jump it, then I jump it, then you jump it, etc. AND one or both of us can demo gear so we can make some jumps together! You are going to Quincy with or without that Mirage! Love you girl! I'll make sure you get to jump! Your Sis
