January Hit & Chug
Unseasonable warmth and a pleasant temperature inversion created FANTASTIC skydiving weather January 10 & 11th.  For those of you watching the Chiefs lose, you missed out on 47 degree weather at 10,000 feet, some tandems, Jen's chili recipe stolen from Rick, Mike Earley's buns (I mean the kind you eat), a serenade of "99 bottles of beer on the wall" to Grant all the way to altitude (really loud), and the Hit-n-Chug where everyone won first place:
1st place for accuracy: both feet dead center
1st place for style: Rick Gardner on his typical "combine" landing (Rick you're supposed to save the barrell rolls for freefall)
1st place for effort: Chris Townsend who had to run about 50 feet to his well-shaken beverage (thanks John) and fought down burps as he chugged for several minutes
1st place for tradition: Turk Chapman who dragged a toe across the target AND chugged within 60 seconds
