What a panty waste. No wonder you are faced with scratching out a trip with the likes of me. Is there anything we can do for his ol lady (man) to ease the pain there? I have good news and bad news. The bad news is Wed is taken here and I shoulda fessed up to Corky earlier cuz I pretty much suspected I would not be available to guide him Wed. The good news is you are the 1st I have ever felt comfy with sharing this with, other than C12 when we were still in love and she swore there was no husband. I skydive atleast once a month outta a paracentrum in Glen Rose, usually more but damn it used to be a 20 buck manifest now its $45 just to drop outta a Gooney Bird (DC3) high enuf to get a buzz freefalling. I went thru jump training in Ft Benning in '74 and never have been able to find a bigger thrill.
I did strictly static line where you go out at a relatively low height, not much windscrape, and auto-deployment. My Troop Commander in the cavalry was a kinda screwed up Huey pilot, jump-qualified, and a maniac with agendas including maybe wanting to kill himself, but definitely feeling he had left too many Chucks alive in the time he had (3 tours) to snuff em out. There is a guy comes on here very infrequently named Rick Slimp, he lives in Napa, CA, and will testify as to what kind of crazed derelect Capt. Boweres was. He took a few trips counter-rotation where El Capitan wanted all to know just how good he was at dropping a big chopper down on its skids without the benefit of rotors.
I cant relate to skateboarders or ski-jumpers but I can guarantee ya aint nuthin better than that intial fear of dropping into the void being squashed and the hideous rush of defying the laws of self-preservation.
And no, I aint no maniac with a deathwish and even less concern for the safety of others. I am a certified loader and can pack yur chute (leave it alone Dayton) to where I would toss Granny out and know something would break her fall. I lived in AZ after gettin outta the Army and used to travel to Perris & Lake Elsinore to jump, great vista, few powerlines, but a damn big lake which was bad news to my no-swimmin butt. Back in TX I jumped outta a little place called Hockley. It was a great place and super people & pilots but had a mixed review from me. It was always good to manifest and go but damn I shod a passle of horses nearby and if I happened to have it scheduled over the weekend I would have a normally complacent horse tied to a trailer, barn upright, snubbing post, and outta nowhere the wreck was on. The suckers could hear the chute billow out way beyond my hearing range, and spook.
Ok then, I sleep between you and Linda, you make breakfast and remember to spray Glade after menopausing in my dear bathroom.

Well, a feller cant really rely on the Union taking care of a corksucker like that but hope he gits his fill of it soon enuf, and moves on.
