I skydived a couple times, thought it was a little over rated personally. Only jumped from high up (not sure of the altitude, was 10 years ago) and nothing seems to really come at you that fast. Once you pull the shoot, just seems to take forever to float down. Might have been because it was surrounded by fields and not a heck of a lot of view, I dunno.

Then I probably missed out on what I would have found fun. Never did swooping, just something that would probably been considered 'standard' jumping, which seemed boring to me.
I jumped in Michigan. Guys I went with base jumped off the old MCS train station in Detroit, which was f'in insane. Guys had to pull the shoot out of the bag when they were jumping so it had a chance to open before they hit the ground. Only 12 or 13 stories if I remember.
10 years ago I didn't have a pot to **** in or savings. Run a biz now, engaged, and suddenly the thought of possibly bouncing doesn't do it for me anymore.

Memorial Day weekend (a week early this year gee thanks) I'm having a yard/estate sale of my late mother's things. Selling everything from knick knacks to a grand piano, then my lawn, which is about the size of 2 1/2 football fields ... all uphill ... needs mowed.
Hooray for me ...

Driver my Ram down to NJ to hang out with my friend for the weekend. And I took Tues and Wed off from work, so I have 5 days of no work! And I am hoping to go to six flags, if the weather holds out.
