FTS.

I did a parachute jump once and I consider that checked off the list.

I went a handful of times and know a bunch of serious skydivers. I actually lived near an airport that had the highest percentage of skydiving deaths in the country. Not a single one was an 'accident' in the sense that there was an equipment failure. Just people doing really stupid shit that you're not supposed to do.

 

[Pesqueeb]

That's something that will never be on any list of mine.

I'd do it, it's just not very high on my priority list.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I’d get behind the wheel of a top fuel dragster just to do it once. But jump out of a plane, nah.

I went tandem skydiving once. Was ok. Don't need to do it again

 

[maxyedor]

I think I’m a bit of an anomaly when it comes to skydiving, not scared, have no reason to avoid it, just no interest in doing it. Somehow it just doesn’t seem interesting. If I had an actual reason to go do it, sure, but I’m not going to block out a morning and spend money on it.



Still positive for the Vid, now it’s just annoying, this is the least bad I’ve felt while stayinghome from work. Going to sinus flush tonight in an attempt to wash out old dirty boogers in order to get a fresh sample.

Yeah - like if I'm in an airplane and it's on fire and plummeting to the earth... and I happen to have a parachute. Then I guess I'd probably do it.

Afternoon. Had a great day at summer school...taught for 30 minutes then went on a train ride and supervised lunch/recess afterward. Packaging up some SiliPints to ship and taking the kid to work...she'll be able to drive herself in just a couple of weeks

I'm sure we could find someone willing to push you out of a plane.

It had better be on fire.

Poop. Poop would have come out.

That's something that will never be on any list of mine.

Was always on my list. Buddies did it while I was on a trip with Wifey. Most agro, "let's do stupid stuff for fun" friends were like "yeah. That was cool but scary as fuck and we're never doing it again." This is including a guy who has hucked 50'+ cliffs on skis. That was good enough for me.

There's no hand raised option.

 

[Pesqueeb]

There's no hand raised option.

We could do a charity fund raiser. $5 bucks a ticket, random winner gets to push.

Doesn’t matter, he won’t show up anyway.

I'll pour out a Newcastle in his honor.

Wait. Do I get a parachute or not?

 

[Pesqueeb]

Guess that depends on how much you want to raise for charity.

 

[jonKranked]

only a Newcastle branded one

Had some work people call my cell phone today. FTS I got more important shit to do today.

 

[Changleen]

Friend of mine was huge into skydiving at Uni, so I’ve done a couple of jumps, plus some paragliding. I prefer paragliding.

Lodi?

 

[eric strt6]

Made tacos for dinner and used homemade Habanero Salsa from this years peppers. Hotter than a mofo. Gotta love it

 

[Westy]

Lodi?

skydive orange in Virginia

 

[eric strt6]

Lodi has a horrible track record. They just got caught using an unlicensed instructor, of course they only "discovered" that after he and a student became a tandem bug splat on the LZ. that makes 22 fatalities since 1981

It was still over 90F with 50+% humidity at 6PM, ideal riding conditions, so I rode a bit. Legs were still tired from weekend riding and I just can't put the hammer down when it's hot and muggy as fuck. We're hitting 100F on Thursday and brutal humidity this weekend, that's gonna be fun.

League tonight for Haley. 2nd in qualifying; 2nd in the final. Had lots of issues with lap traffic. Every time a gap would be opened, she'd hunt him down, but get stuck in lap traffic again.

Kids in 1st and 3rd are her normal (only, really) competition at this point. Their dads are pushing to get her into outdoor. Both have extra karts and said to find time when we can all meet up so they can get laps in, loaning her karts. Both are assuming she'd almost immediately be competitive at the state level. Also said they'd sell her a competitive kart (it's an arm's war of who has money to buy faster karts) below market, if that's what it takes to get her out.

Nandini (teen league girl) wants to start driving with her indoors on weekends, so we're trying to make it happen while I'm in DC this weekend.

Lots of ground swell, if you will, to push her into gas karts.

Also, creepy old dude at CoSprings track is selling it. So she'll never have to deal with him again.

I don't actually know who Nick Cave is. But taken at face value, I like it.
