My Bucket List
Thanks to a birthday prezzie from SWMBO I'm crossing another item off my bucket list today
. She got me a voucher for a tandem parachute jump tandem parachute jump and I've booked it for 9:30 this morning, just a tad nervous at the moment
. I'll post photo's and my reactions after/if I get back.
Please feel free to share your "Bucket List" moments.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

John if your reaction is anything like my young lee , smile as big as Texas. Good luck
He has now spent the last 4 weekends at Bridgewater learning to skydive and wants to go solo very soon. The weather has been a stumbling block as he has only been able to get one jump a weekend.
He has also pencilled in a place in Germany next year where you fly over the top of a big fan.Jim Carroll

I hope you enjoy your first experience.
I would like to try parachuting at least once.
But here in Tas, you have to go tandem.
I would prefer to go solo. After the proper instruction of course.

Reminds me of what a friend said when he was asked how many successful jumps did you make? His reply was all of them.

That was a very cool way to spend a Saturday morning. I was nowhere near as nervous as I thought I would be, bring on the bungy jump

It's always puzzled me why anyone would want to jump from a perfectly good airplane.

The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

Reminds me of the old, old song we used to sing to the tune of John Brown body lies rotting in his grave :
They took him in a plane for more than 40,000 feet,
They took him in a plane for more than 40,000 feet,
They took him in a plane for more than 40,000 feet,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
He jumped from 40,000 feet without a parachute,
He jumped from 40,000 feet without a parachute,
He jumped from 40,000 feet without a parachute,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
He landed on the target like a lump of strawberry jam,
He landed on the target like a lump of strawberry jam,
He landed on the target like a lump of strawberry jam,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
They scraped him off the target with a rusty razor blade,
They scraped him off the target with a rusty razor blade,
They scraped him off the target with a rusty razor blade,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
They slid him in an envelope and sent him home to mom,
They slid him in an envelope and sent him home to mom,
They slid him in an envelope and sent him home to mom,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
His mom wasn't home, so they fed him to the dog,
His mom wasn't home, so they fed him to the dog,
His mom wasn't home, so they fed him to the dog,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
The dog didn't like him so they threw him in the trash,
The dog didn't like him so they threw him in the trash,
The dog didn't like him so they threw him in the trash,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
And he ain't gonna jump no more!

Grand daughter did a tandem jump several years ago.
Jumped from 10,000 feet and we could hear her yeehaa ing all the way down.
Had a very pale face at the conclusion though.
Glad you enjoyed it,
Keith.
