LOL, I've done the 70'ft of fence replacement/installation and you're correct it is a workout. I had to remove the old concrete from the previous rotted posts, getting down 3' by hand is a pain in the arse.

In all the jumps I've done, I've never done a static line.

It was a very nice one today Tim! Clouds in the area but jumped and went right through them. I am already ready to sign up for the next one! Maybe persue a certification as well

Congratulations, but be careful, it is very addictive!

How did Myra like it?

Shrimp and fries. Usually get the sausage and fries, and should have today. They had a new girl working and she didn't do the shrimp very well.

That sounds good. How does one screw up shrimp? Anyway, I'm headed out to the Mongolian buffet for dinner.

NO way I'd jump out of a perfectly good airplane... I'd rather make a 200 ft dive in a Mark V suit.

Thanks Tim and you are right about it being addicting! It also helps the steep discount they give for repeat divers

Mayra loved! She can't wait to go back later this summer for another jump!

Through the clouds? I'm surprised because the FAA banned that years ago when they lost a plane load of jumpers out over Lake Erie.

This is me in the red white and blue, jumping with a friend from England. We were over Sebastian, Florida doing some Relative Work.

Having seen "meat bombs" appear out of a solid overcast while flying, I hope they banned it!

Glad you had fun Omar!

It's breaded and deep fried, whatever it was that she did, they were all stuck together and over cooked.
