Packing a Damn Parachute

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!

Ok, I just spent the last two hours trying to pack a friggin parachute and pro-packing at that. I just couldnt get the damn thing in the bag but I guess practice makes perfect so this sunday I'm going to the dropzone without my credit card and only enough cash to eat and make one jump and the rest of the time I'm going to practice packing because I refuse to spend any more money on it and plus its something I need to know. I show at Bens at 9:30 which was the time that I told him and what I though we agreed upon but when I get there he said it was for 9:00 which is BS but oh well I let it go and said I was sorry because this man is taking time out of his busy life to teach me how to pack. I met his daughter and grandchild who was soooooo cute I want to babysit him but anyway moving on he showed me less things than Daniel did when I tried to just get the basics of it a couple of weeks ago which kind of shocked me because I thought he would have taught me the names of everything and he didnt. After awhile we took a break because I was very very tired and he showed me a video of a world record he broke with some other people and it was a dogs first HALO jump which is a jump from 30,000 feet in the air. It was cool want details call me and I'll tell you, there is only one person who would probably want to know more you know who you are. Well after that we packed some more and I got it into the bag on both last tries but the top kept getting away from me and I let it go but I have the hang of it. The parachute I was packing was a triathlon 135 one of the easiest ones to pack and I think it might be a little harder to pack a 235 which is what I jump at the DZ anyway now I'm rambling...Daniel come back and teach me to pro-pack I need your canopy to practice on, you were a much better teacher thank you so much. Ben totally confused me if I pack a line over this weekend I don't care if I die screw it.
