Memorial Weekend in Twin Falls, Idaho
Good times, lots of fun jumps, new friends, and the
best part of it all -- no serious injuries or fatalities!

Congrats to the big way, watching approximately
24 of you guys & gals exit from the Perrine at one
time from Don's boat was a wild visual, thank you
and big props to John for organizing it.

Also, kudos and thanks to Pick, Taylor, and the
guys for erecting the new flag pole, hanging a
new American flag, and the very cool plaque.
Whoever chose words did a really great job!

Funny, I actually re-worded it once before posting.
I got in 23 jumps, my first 3-way, thanks Troy & Ian,
plus I worked on doing gainers, which came out great.

We did a 6-way on our graduation jump of our fjc of the patato bridge. I went slider up with static line Tongue since then I never compained again when I had a hard opening Smile

Besides GreenMachine, I wonder who I met? Contrary to popular belief, Green can actually leave stable face to earth ... MOST of the time Cool.

I had a lot of fun but did too many slider down jumps. ooowww... Tongue I didn't jump as much as I usually do but taking it easy was actually more fun this time.

I found 2 ticks. One was in my gear, the other was on me but it didn't bite me. Lyme Disease is really f***ing serious so if you haven't already, check yourself. If you've been bitten, don't take chances, get checked out.

You don't post here anymore Wink I also met Stitch but I didn't see either of you at the bridge, just at the outback and the BBQ.

Patron with Para_Frog. Thanks man!

If you ever payed attention to Facebook, you would know that I developed a serious health problem (prostate) the morning after the bonfire. It not only sidelined me for that weekend, but also for most likely the next few months. WTTW, Catheters suck.
