off topic - What's on your bucket list / What are your hobbies?

[JJonah]

I hope to be able to go sky diving for my 30th birthday in two years. I’m terrified of height, so hopefully this is a way of me saying fuck you to my fear lol

I've never quite skydived, but I jumped out of planes a lot in the Army. I found the trick was to think more about the process than the result. Think not about the forest, but about the trees. Step by step, just a series of actions you've been trained to do and then, suddenly, yep. You're floating.

Your experience will be very different from mine. You'll have an instructor strapped to your back! Enjoy the view, and remember: you'll get down, one way or another. Gravity guarantees it.

Yes. This is not on my bucket list.

Having a pretty good understanding of what gravity does, I don't know why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

"Otto" (don't call him "Shirley").

I think there's a minimum age for that...

I need to add a few road trips with Litsters to my bucket list. And Spam museum.

I would name those Litsters but I'm sure I would inadvertently leave someone out, so I won't. And besides, not everyone could fit in my SUV and I certainly don't have that much alcohol!

Note to self: check prices on RVs and oh! play the lottery so I can pay for it.

gracie, cookie and I both travel down by you. We tried to coordinate our time with each other this year, but couldn’t.
We should all PM about this. I would LOVE to meet you.

FYI, I just baked about 80 pullas of various shapes and different fillings, so if anybody wants to drop by, now's a pretty good time.

Okay, but after this, who wants to fly?

Y'all are all really cool people.

I've ticked off most of the exhilarating things on my bucket list - Bungy, sky diving a few times, white water rafting, hang gliding, hiking etc. Still want to base jump, particularly in Norway.

Haven't done a lot of travelling, so that's mostly on my list - Europe and Japan the main two and I'd love to go back to China.

Hobbies - I love wine, have a big wine cellar, have a big gin collection, I love Aussie Rules football and run/ran a podcast about it, I love restaurants, I love the share market, NFL, Premier League, getting back into NBA and spend a lot of time with my kids. I love hiking and the challenge of it - especially with a bad back.

Sometimes, ya just gotta.

The kind of parachuting I did? Getting out the door was a relief from hours of cramped sitting, waiting, and waddling.

You’re invited, too.

 

[JJonah]

You’re invited, too.

By the time we get there, though, there may not be very many pulla left.
