Sharp's Travels
Today was my big play day. At 9:00 am Larry & Denise, Bud, Mike & Pam with their two grandchildren, Cheri and I headed for the Mulberry airport for my tandem jump. I had a 10:00 am appointment and we arrived at 9:45 am, they got me suited up and went through a few things with me and the video guy (Robert) started taking pictures and video. By 10:10 am we were on the plane headed up to 13,500 feet. George (my tandem instructor) hooked us together and we were soon on our way out of the plane and on our way down. What a thrill it was and I am ready to do it again someday. Afterwards Bud, Mike & Pam with the grandchildren left and we waited for and watched my video which turned out good. Denise also took around 300 pictures. So I have a lot of good pictures to go through to make up an album. When I get some spare time I will put them together and post them. After we got done at the airport we headed to Lakeland to drop off Cheri’s sewing machine. A spring clip had fallen out of it and she wants to get it taken care of as she has a quilting class that she is taking next Saturday and wants to be sure the sewing machine is going to work. Then Larry, Denise, Cheri and I road over to the Harley dealer as Larry wanted to buy a couple of pieces of chrome for is bike. Cheri bought herself a Harley long sleeve t shirt. Then it was time to head over to Applebee’s for a late lunch. Larry had looked at chrome bolt caps for his bike and thought that they were too much at the Harley dealer. A guy told him about getting them at the big truck chrome store up by Ocala. So back on the bikes and the way we went. It was 4:30 pm when we got there. Larry found most of what he was looking for and I also bought some chrome bolt caps for the head bolts on my bike. It was near 5:30 pm before we got back on the road heading for home. We made one more stop in Dade City for an ice cream cone. We were going to ride on down to Plant City for the car show but it would have been too late, so we just headed for home. It was after 7:00 pm and 185 miles later when we got home. Larry and Denise downloaded the picture she took on their computer and then came up with their computer and burned a DVD of all the pictures she took today of my jump. We got out our digital picture frame, plugged in her camera card and watched the pictures while we played a game of Hand, Knee and Foot. It was a fun and exciting day for me.
