My number one item is a trip to Israel to visit all of the holy sites, and to be baptized in the Jordan River.

I was there in the March of 2020. It was my wife's 2nd trip. She really wanted me to go. I like to travel, but really didn't have much interest. We had a great tour guide. I didn't realize how small Israel is. It's about 1/5 the size of Wisconsin. It's extremely diverse. Mountains to ski at in the north, fertile farmland on the west side by the Mediterranean, mountains in the middle, desert in the east. Dead see is 1200' below sea level. It was an amazing trip. Tourism is their #1 industry. Tel Aviv pre covid was a rapidly growing party city for 25-35 y/o.

Do laps at road America in diff cars. Fly a f14 yes you can do that for a fee of course. Win a moto in 55,50,45,40 , 250 c, 450c and the 125 Class. Win in 4 states. I don’t care about the overall just the Win on 1 of the motos. Break the 50 mph speed barrier in the Millville whoops. Record a few songs I,ve written under the name Anthony Lee ALLen . 40-50,s country . own the legal rights to my songs and all them also. If I can find the correct members start a Social Distortion tribute band. Travel on the ss Badger ship the last coal burning ship from manitowoc Wi. To Mi. Probably will never reach expert diver status. But if I could dive down 250 ft to explore the 2 separate parts of The Danial J Morrel ship that sank in 1966. That ship forced my Mother into labor to have me.

Snowboarding in Japan. I spent 3 winters in the Canadian rockies and it was great but everyone I know who had been to Japan said it was another level.
Japan is amazing. It snowed the entire time I was there. Part of it is how wonderful the culture is. But heliboarding in Revelstoke is right up there with it. Alaska is on my bucket list…hoping in the next couple years.

Checking one off of our list tomorrow. Home for the next ten days. We talked (dreamed) about "going on a safari" for years but could never realistically pull it off while raising kids and running the business. Long story short. We went to travel show for something to do a few months ago and came across the safari booth with pictures of elephants and lions, giraffes etc. and said fuck it lets just do it, we aint getting any younger. So we're out of here tomorrow. If I get eaten it was fun bs'ing with ya'lls ✌️. I'm the oldest slowest fattest one of the group so chances are if someone becomes a happy meal for a lion, it'll be me 🤪 See ya in a couple weeks !

Hell yeah !!! Have fun.

We spent most of the month of June in the eastern Mediterranean. 

Now we're pondering, what's next  ??

I'm wanting to go coast to coast, via the Trans America trail. 

She's wanting another overseas trip.

At some point we're going to have to arm wrestle for it. Then we'll grab our passports and head overseas. 😉

😆😂 That sounds about right.   The T.A.T. is on our list too. Mine informed me recently that she wants to bounce around the country aimlessly on street bikes. Like Then came Bronson or Easy Rider.  We don't even own street bikes. (Her XT250 and my EXCF500 aint gonna cut it).  Our next "Biggie" in the works is traveling around the country next summer in the camper with dual sports in tow. I'm 67, the kids are fairing pretty well, and my expiration date is getting closer every day. If we time it right we'll die with about $27.50 in the bank account, sorry kids. 🤣

My middle Son started jumping out of airplanes about 2 years ago. Apparently, you start out doing tandems with a trainer and then after so many jumps you get certified to jump solo.

We did it differently. 

First 3-4 were static line (like paratroopers, the chute is deployed for you). Simulated cord pull.

Once they were comfortable that you weren't going to skitz out, you would start doing "Hop-n-Pops". Get out, get stable, pull the rip cord.

Finally, start some free falls.

It's definitely a rush.

Same here.

A handful of static line's from a 182, as your jump master saw you could keep a hard, stable arch, cleared for short free falls, leading up to a few lengthy two ways, to full on 12,000' jumps from the Otter.

1,700+ before I called it quits.

Fellow skydivers.

Some of the best people I've ever met.

 

Spaceland parachute center.

League city Texas.

Entire area is a subdivision now.

Sad. So many good times in that column of air over those cookie cutter boxes.

Wow!

I didn't last near that long. Sub 25.

My jump buddy, and one of my best friends had a close one. Ended up dislocating his shoulder as he rolled over during deployment and the pilot chute went under his arm.

We decided that we'd done enough,  and that was it.

After around 100 jumps, I decided to be a jump master for students.

Took 3 up in a 182, first kid gets out on the strut, goes off completely backwards, head down.

Static line pulls his deployment bag up from between his legs, he flips back under a full canopy.

Scared the living shit out of me.

 

Debriefed him back on the ground.

He had no clue that any of that happened. 

That was the end of my desire to be a jump master.

I'd seen enough.

 

Today's tandem, and AFF course, is a much better way to introduce people to freefall skydiving.

One day there was a middle aged Asian guy at the place going through training for his first jump. The place we went to charged a hundred bucks or something for training and 3 jumps.

We figured that this was a gift to the guy because he didn't look like he wanted to be there.

On his first jump, Sarge, our jump master had to pry him off the strut, and he immediately assumed the fetal position. He held that all the way to impact. We were on the ground watching. He got up, blew his cape wells, and walked towards the parking lot as he fumbled with the harness.

Guess once was enough.  🤣

Skydiving probably would be on my list if it wasn’t for my step brother Kevin. He was heavily into it until a freak accident. Short version is the guy next to him somehow pulled Kevin’s reserve chute when jumped. Kevin got yanked out of the plane, got clobbered and knocked out by tail. He said he came to, went to pull his main chute but his arms didn’t work. So he straight legged it into the ground at what ever speed that was. He earned a permanent limp and equilibrium damage. Unless the planes going down I’m out. 

 Seeing lions in the wild ? Checked that one off last night 😎
