Sorry, people of Chambersburg. I am your Rain God.
On Wednesday, the weather forecast for Chambersburg said partly cloudy. I called to reserve a slot for a Cat C jump, and the forecast instantly worsened.
I hung out for an hour and a half or so. Just long enough to watch the C-182 take a couple of loads up to 3500 feet for hop-and-pops. Then the rain started.
Oh, and the Casa was here today. Damn.

I'm apparently the rain god of Chambersburg
Heavy, overcast, and a couple of very light sprinkles. 2400 foot ceiling, maybe?
On a better note, John was repacking a reverse chute. I watched a lot of the process and learned some more about how it's packed and why it's different from a main chute. Doc Larry showed me the computer attached to the AAD control unit, and the automatic knife that cuts the reserve chute loop.
Refresher training from Dave, a coach. I'm good for another 30 days, unless I decide to make it rain in Chambersburg again.
