How miserable do the last few titles look, all lined up like that. Ugh.
When I called at about 8:05 this morning, there were instructors available, and AccuWeather said there was a 15,000 foot ceiling. Yeah, 15,000 inches maybe. By the time I left at about 12:30, the plane hadn't come out of the hangar yet. Stupid clouds.
On the positive side, John gave me a pretty long refresher session. This is the first time I've really got my hands right on the outside parts of a rig. I was a little leery about it - I don't want to screw it up, but I need to know this stuff, and the worst that happens is that it needs a repack. I came away much more comfortable with the equipment.
Now, if only I can get good enough weather to jump again someday.

Bad weather again
I guess I should just cut-and-paste, but it was a different sort of bad weather. A front came through and started clearing up the clouds, but the wind picked up, and was blowing across the runway. As sort of a test run, 5 experienced guys jumped from 3500 out of a Cessna. Only one of them managed to hit the landing zone.
