It's 2:30 and we're on a weather hold. The winds are stupid strong and we
all had a carnival ride as we came in to land on our last jump. There was a
load in the boarding area ready to go but when manifest saw us come down
they shut the plane down. There's a tornado warning out for Hamilton which
is practically around the corner, but it's a competition so if they say go,
we go. 8 Rounds done and in the bag and considering we're averaging a box of
Kleenex and a dozen Sudafed every few hours we're holding up pretty well. By
the time we've tracked away on the last few jumps my sinuses have been in
agony from the rapid pressurization, Nathalie is currently unconscious in a
lawn chair, and the 3 of us keep honking regularly like a herd of elephants.
But like Steve tells Nolan "Power Rangers Never Give Up!" 7 Rounds have been
posted and we are continuing to strengthen our hold on 3rd place. In fact,
we scored 15 points in round 7 which is almost the total our pick-up team
scored in 10 rounds in Farnham in 2005. While they aren't exactly looking
over their shoulders, Evolution and The Fish better watch out, we'll be
gunning for them in 2011. Or maybe 2013. Maybe.
It's always interesting to see the names some of the teams use.
The Divas - from Burnaby
Malformation - from Winnipeg
Pink Parts - also from Winnipeg
The Gan Sky Cows - from Gananoque
Thrown Together - as the name implies, thrown together by a bunch of people
who had nothing better to do.
At least if they'd release us for the day we could go soak in the hot tub
overlooking the beach at our cottage, but we're at the mercy of the meet
director, and so here we sit.
