won't fly

A couple posts back I mentioned the skydiving trip that didn't quite go as planned. Ya see, the thing was Tyler and James (Ballard) were supposed to head up to Pittsfield, Maine to jump out of an airplane for a fee of $200. I went along for the trip to basically party and sleep on a hotel room floor and go out to ratty Bangor nightclubs, but you couldn't pay me $200 to jump out of a plane! Friday night was different, then Saturday rolled around and we headed for the airfield. Once at the skydive place we got to see a demo then watch a jump and view an instructional video. Seeing a group make the jump eased my fears of skydiving and actually made me think I could do it if I were on enough drugs. Unfortunately, after the first jump, nobody else could go because the Cesna pilot was radioing back down to us that there was freezing rain above the clouds. So after chillin for like four hours hoping for the rain to stop, we rolled out, defeated. Tyler and James were pretty bummed, but at least they didn't die and we got to experience Bangor nightlife haha!

So it's Saturday again and it's raining, so what the hell, no jump again! This only leaves Tyler more time to dial in his spandex zebra suit for the big jump (Gotta get a flick of that to put on here!)
