After experiencing a small main parachute malfunction the other week, I was in need of a reserve repack. The repack was ready this weekend, but my Cypres AAD is expiring next month and I need to buy one so I took the weekend off instead of jumping to save some cash.

The Cypress AAD expires after 12 years. The one I have came with the used rig that I purchased at the beginning of the year and only had about six months left. They are about $1200 brand new and you can find them used for about $100/per remaining year. I may have found one for $421 with 4 years left. It will also need an 8 year check which, if I remember correctly costs $160.

I sat at home and partied Saturday night. I don’t drink often. Two Bud Lites give me a buzz. Gary kept handing me another when I would finish and I think I ended up drinking about 8. Then I sat down later on and started to get sick and spent some time in the bathroom. If I’m the one getting the beer for myself I stop when I get wobbly. Seems that isn’t the case if someone keeps passing me beers when I’m already intoxicated.
