SKYDIVES! Finally got out. First one went pretty good, didn't arch but did not flail either. Had a triple line twist when my canopy opened, which looks cool by the way but was easy to kick out of. Nice calm flight. Landed myself pretty good. An hour later I was back up and Trent who doubles as a firefighter and is the toughest and most critical jumpmaster said my arch was perfect. It was about 8 p.m. by then and the sun was eye level at 3000 feet (went out at 4500). Shining through a slit in the clouds and then through a mist of rain from a small cloud it refracted over the fields turning them shades of auburn and gold. With a sky background of pink , blue, white and grey it was stupendously beautiful!!! Even at that relatively low altitude you quickly realize how infinitessimal we really are. Humbling yet empowering. Fight was obviously good and so was my landing. Most fun you can have with your clothes on. Very good day. There's a sign at the club that reads---"if at first you dont succeed- skydiving is probably not your sport". CHEERS.
