Only if you wear your Optik Illusion while eating fondue. Or would that mess up your tongue switch again? Casey- Consider yourself RSVPed. See ya Friday, fearless leader!

Mike- you don't need to buy the food! Everybody who's coming can either bring a little money or something to fondue. I just made "fondue" a verb- can I do that? Good luck with the house buying stuff. Sounds like a pain. Maybe you should live in a trailer instead. Hey Dawn- If you ditch us half way through the fondue thing, WE WILL find your house this time. If you need to go "check on the dogs" *wink*wink* we'll understand as long as you make it quick and come back to the party. Everybody needs to check on the dogs every now and then. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I just heard from Joey that he's going to be around on Friday, so everybody should come out early, get some jumps in, and stay for fondue.

So you're gonna be financing your house Friday night at 8 pm??? Ok, I guess everybody should rsvp to me since Mike might not make it to his own party.

Hey everybody-

Or video. Next time, get a bite switch that works and remember to turn your video camera on.

The weekend was awesome. I did my FIRST double fronts approaches. I learned that my Sabre 2 glides waaaay more than my Triathlon on no wind days. I did 10 jumps with no freefall time, then did a sunset freefly jump with Eric yesterday and had no clue what to do - "Oh. You want me to grab that foot you're sticking out at me? But there aren't dive loops on your shoes."

Hola from work! Casey- I'm taking the class tomorrow too! My nose is getting less congested by the minute, so I should be in good shape by tomorrow.

He's on his way down there right now.

Speaking of not breaking ourselves... Who's going to the Essentials Course on Friday? See ya there. Sorry I missed the show tonight, Joe. I'm still kinda sick and I've been making up time at work. Hope it was a good one.

If anybody owed beer, it was Eric. Busting the beer line by 40 feet has to be worth a keg or something.

Woohoo! hybrid? tube? tracking? Whatever it is, I promise not to funnel it.

Glad I could use my new toy on a windy day!

Ask Matt C. about the wind. Watching him under that Sabre catching turbulence off the hill gave me flashbacks! *please stay inflated*please stay inflated*uh oh*please reinflate... Glad I could get your downwinders on video. Bring a tape this weekend! Mike- We're gonna have to wait a bit for Fondue Friday. Joe will be out of town next weekend (Scott Miller weekend), and I can't stand the thought of fondue without Joe.

Sounds like a good weather day activity! Haven't tried the IPEX yet- been too busy looking around for fun skydiving gear.

Dawn- Saturday looks like another good catalog shopping day. Or maybe we could put on our tie dye team shirts. Are there max winds allowed for creeper bowling? A 30 mph gust at your back could really affect your score.

Cool! I don't think it'll work, though. Eric the SkyWhore did 7 jumps yesterday, so his next will be his 400th. I'm at 585-ish. Oh, well.

Eric will be there too. Have you talked to Ross? I think he said he wanted to come, but maybe he said he didn't. I forgot. Whatever you guys want to do about the weather is fine with me. It would be nice to do fondue after a day of jumping- I think we might have a better turnout. But I also don't want to postpone until October.

Ooooo! Is anyone doing their 300th? The we could do 200/300/400/500/600.

Yeah... When I'm not jumping, you guys suffer. I'll try to get out there at some point this week, cuz it's just too darn pretty outside not to be in the air. If I can get enough jumps in (and someone ties Eric to the ground- good luck with that), Eric's 400th, BBall's 500th and my 600th can happen this weekend. ...and it's not gonna funnel! Edited to RSVP to Fondue Friday! Since you guys will be in my trailer, I guess I'll join you.

Yeah- nothing like those 5:30 am trailer inspections. And I'm sure Hank was happy to have someone talk to him like he's human. "Who are you???" It was great meeting all you guys. Sorry I wasn't in a more social mood, but the end of the basketball season sends me falling into a pit of depression. I'll be better by the 4th of July boogie. See you then?

You'd be an awesome moat monster! You could wear a tail and everything! What if we did a rolling tube through the moat? Or would that just be mud wrestling?

I'll give them a yell across my moat. Come back to see us when you get back from Chile.

Yup. And my castle overlooks the Hispa village.

After the Easter excitement subsides, we can figure out who has fondue pots and who's coming. We could end up with 5 fondue things with different dipping stuff in each one. That would rock. Yeah, good call. My trailer has a moat around it.
