Weather looks good for me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane on Saturday.
Why?
I suppose you have to remind yourself you are alive still by scaring yourself to death. Sounds like an adventure, post pics!
Why not? George H. W. was 80. I'm only 72.
I'll be sure to post pics or at least my widow will.
Go for it, Roger! And you know what they say - if the chute doesn't work, take it back and they'll give you another one! :disturbed:
If that were me, there would be fingernail scratches down the side of the aircraft.........
This may be just as exciting as the bungee jump I plan on doing next year. :)
I hear Niagra in a barrel is an unforgettable experience too..... :eek5:
Or swimming with the crocodiles in Mexico...could have gone, but the guide said it would cost an arm and a leg........😃
:icon_lol: Yeah, and those things don't grow on trees.
My daughter who lives in Kansas City, just texted us her receipt that she is going skydiving. Ha, did you call her Roger? :icon_lol: She has never mentioned it before. :eusa_think:
It was awesome. A rain a few days ago had cleared the gunk out of the atmosphere so it was clear and it was practically cloudless.
Visibility was unlimited. It was so clear that I could just about peer forward and see my butt.
Highly recommended. Going to do it again on my 100th.

Video starts at about 5000 feet. They couldn't see the free fall portion of the jump.
Another video.

I am always surprised how high 5k is.
In July I got to drive a $250,000 Lamborgini around a track 7 times. Another bucket list item done.
Pale by comparison, but my bucket list item for the past 5 years was to retire under my own terms - today I did just that!
Congrats nony, I assume you will enter the shuffle board league now? :icon_biggrin:
Too high falutin' for me.....I am looking forward to the opening of bingo season, though......😂

Three years, seven months and six days to go for me. Not that I'm counting or anything.... :disturbed:
Shucks, that's only 1315 days.....
First 3 days of not having to go to work went pretty good, but I'm exhausted doing all the things that needed doing...
Almost got caught up for a bit today........got the oil changed in the truck, took the dog for a long walk, mowed the lawn, forgot which day of the week it was, and for good measure, drove with my left blinker on 🙀
I think I'll fit right in......
:icon_lol: I leave it on all the time just in case I might need it. And I have a suspicion that I will avoid any kind of retirement. Because I didn't have to irrigate, I got caught up on a couple "projects" I put up a carport and built a small storage shed to replace the overhead camper Vicki keeps her outside cats in. I am going back to farming where its less work!
