Don "The Boat Guy"

**hamsandwich** · April 7th, 2009, 07:15 PM

Had lunch today with Don and Kay, they're doing well and it was nice catching up after the winter.

Don's still around for Boat Service from the landing area back to Centennial Park. Just call and give him some notice when you're gonna be coming to town. Don't forget to pickup your cooler full of beer to keep on the boat for between jumps!

We should get with Don and plan that skills competition we keep talking about. Take the bridge back to about 00' with dozens of jumpers making 10+ jumps a day and never hiking. Party and pack at Centennial. Do a comp with exit, opening, and landing scores like the original IPBC. I hear Ill Vision is coming to visit, maybe they would want to do something.

Don rocks. When I was out there, a couple of days it was just me and a friend, and so he lent me his car so we could ferry back and forth from the dock....Top man! - Actually that reminds me, one point, some street luger flew down the road and went under us!

>>Mr. Mayes is awsome. Whether fishing you out of the river after a low pull or sharing a beer, Don's good people.

Yes, and keep Saturday night open for Blondie's party. If you don't come, she'll crush you like a grape.

It's free food and beer - I don't know a BASE jumper who would turn that down.

(A reminder - the cook better not have to buy one drop of Patron Silver. I'm just saying)

Would May be a good time for me to fuck the credit card and make my visit?

It's like BD with a little more talent.

Nothing organized per se anymore, but it's the biggest weekend at the Perrine. At the party 2 years ago, I counted 11 countries represented before I couldn't see past my nose anymore.

Probably 50 or so jumpers that weekend. Maybe more.

Good times.

Can you gimme the dates......

**Para_Frog** · April 8th, 2009, 02:52 PM

22-25 May

**hamsandwich** · April 8th, 2009, 11:58 PM

I'm already getting excited!

Frik-n-frak, I mean Mick and Mac, you're both welcome at my place. First one to arrive gets the spare bedroom. 2nd is the couch. Oh and Mac, Ody will be staying here too! As well as the world famous Peter Konrad, the K-Monster, and a whoever else wants to squeeze in. This memorial should be a blast!

Tree, lets talk offline and see if we can't organize something, more realisticly for labor day or perrine bridge fest so we got some time.

Hey i got an idea... maybe we can organize some demo skydives over the bridge for memorial like we've been doing for the perrine bridge fest! good excuse to get a waiver

Tri-County Famous Tree, World Famous Miles D, and little old me.... hey does any one else have a pro rating??

I would be good with that. When are you returning to SLC?

**Para_Frog** · April 9th, 2009, 07:47 AM

I fly in to Boise from Ft. Knox on the 22nd - and will be rolling out to Twin. Returning to Boise the 26th in the afternoon.

I have room in my rig if you fly into Boise. (I think SLC is significantly cheaper though)
