    Neat. I've always wanted to jump out of a plane

    maybe fly in a jet, my dad says that it's a good time :lol:
    Do it. The hour leading up to actually leaving the plane was stressful and terrifying... you get all worked up and nervous and start thinking about broken straps and chutes that don't open properly. And during the plane ride up I was close to shitting my pants in horrified anticipation... and the part where you stick your feet out the door and look down is bad, and the very second when you leave the plane and lose where up and down is for a second is like sheer terror... but once you've straightened out and are just free falling it gets good. Tie your shoes up well - it feels like they're going to come off when free falling and that's distracting. It doesn't feel like you're falling at all - just like you're suspended in a wind tunnel. Then another brief moment of terror when the chute starts to open and you're not sure that it's worked yet. And then, pure joy that you're alive and floating far above the Earth - complete silence (you might want to tell your partner to keep quite for this part of the ride before you jump - mine tried to act as tourist guide, and I just wanted to take it all in in silence. I did not care that the town of Chilliwack was to the East of us :fp: ). And the landing is nice and light (basically). It was amazing (not sure I would do it again though - once may have been enough). Also, if you go drinking after, it's the best drunk you'll ever have! :lol:
    Awesome! I wanna go!

    Seriously, I'm telling my kids to consider becoming mechanics or building contractors. No student loan debt, you make fuckloads of money, and if you play your cards right, you get to be your own boss.

    My pop was a mechanic. When I'd ask him for a dollar to go to the cornerstore, he would reach into his sock, pull out a huge roll of bills, go through about 15 hundreds, 15 twenties, a few tens, a few fives before he'd find that single dollar (maybe there were two) to give me.

    That is soooo cool!

    My dad was 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and he spends his time now on the board for Southern Wisconsin All Airborne Chapter. One of their big fundraisers for Wounded Warriors is a tandem jump. My dad and my daughter jumped last summer. My son and daughter are going to jump this summer.

    I chickened out.

    Maybe this summer...

    Hey, me too! Wait, that was at some weird secret party in Mexico and I won my $100 for intimidating a horse. Close enough...

    As soon as I figure out the Soundcloud thing I will post a link of both the horse
    And the dog imitations.

    By the way, those little Norwegian Fjords are cool ass horses,
    Though at just under 14 hands many are classified as
    Ponies.. However the breed itself is classified as a horse.

    i watch videos on & read about sasquatch research. i've spent probably hundreds of hours doing this activity. gigantopithecus, gigantopithecus, gigantopithecus & again
    gigantopithecus

    i've seen & read some incredible stuff & some stupid ass bullshit as well. i like to believe sasquatch exists & in different regions appears differently. like the grass man in ohio would be different than the sasquatch in the northwest & different than the skunk ape in the everglades of florida.

    Through your research, can more than one sasquatch live in an area? I always see them chasing after one.

    yes sasquatch would be a social beast as they even communicate with one another by stick knocking & screaming into the night. ever hear a sasquatch carry on like they do? the most unreal fucking scariest sounding shit. never in person just on recordings. and with the internet today people are sharing some really killer stuff. the man & woman campers broke down in their truck/camper is awesome. they recorded something like 20-30 minutes of solid screaming up in the mountains.

    also the missing 411 I think it is called. is a book I am ordering soon. unreal stuff. odd disappearances of folks from national parks particularly Yosemite. a kid or woman goes missing, they find the person's clothes most times neatly folded. sometimes the kid returns a day or two later, buck ass naked & miles from where he/she vanished & totally scaled a mountain or two & have no clue what happened to them.
