For those who "knew" me in the early days of my membership here, you may remember that I am into extreme sports. Skydiving, bungee jumping, base jumping, motorcycles, rugby... pretty much anything that can get me banged up or killed. mmmmm...Adrenaline.
Today I got a couple of really nice things to be excited about. For starters I have custom ordered my new skydiving suit. It is going to be black with red and silver accents. I am very excited about it. It should be ready for me to pick up in about a week and a half. Waiting has never been my forte, but c'est la vie. I think it is going to look great.
Secondly, I have received my A License today. Translation.... I have compleded 3 levels of certification. Advanced Free Fall, Solo Certificate, and A CoP License certification. I am licenced to jump anywhere in the world, and I can start learning the more complicated flying techniques, as well as work on flying with other people with out needing an instructor. I have been done my training for this license for some time, and was just waiting for my paperwork to go through.
And finally, with both my new suit and my license in hand, I am in the process of finalizing my trip to Arizona. Every year a friend of mine, (he's also my skydiving Yoda) organizes a trip south for our and all other Canadian Drop Zones. He has been after me for years to go, but being right at the busy time of year for my work, I have always opted out. Even last year. Chris went, I stayed. Not a great decision on my part all things concidered. So this year I have arranged to take time off work and head south for the Invasion. I've learned the hard way that life is too short, so I'm reevaluating my priorities a bit.
Well that's the plan at least.

if I see someone heading for me, right out of the blue sky, I'll know it's you :)
Hey Arizona! I'd like to go there, good dry heat, I'm told I'd love it.
The heat probably would be too much for me sometimes but it's humidity I can't take.
(Ever since I read your post I've had an image of a moose dropping out of the sky!)
Hey you know AdGuy always gets the last word! ;)
