What have you done for yourself lately?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Booked myself in for scuba diving Saturday, (been a while, but I'm sure my wetsuit still fits), jumping from a plane on Sunday, and spa treatment on Monday.

Actually got the order right this time.

I'm always impressed by people who skydive. For me to jump out of an aircraft, the motherfucker would have to be upside down and on fire.

Little known fact: if you jump out of an upside down plane, you fall up.

Done 4 parachute jumps for charaty, I recomend it!

On one of them the instructor was going through the safety systems...
"you jump out, fall about 30 feet then the static line pulls your chute open"
"If that fails, you pull the handle on the front of your chute"
"If you don't, when you get to about 1000 feet, an automatic system fires an explosive bolt to deploy your chute"
"If that fails, you pull the handle on your reserve chute"
"if that fails, just before you smash into the ground at 120 mph, cross your legs and hold your left arm up in the air, then it's a left hand screw when they try to get our body out of the hole and your relatives will have your wristwatch as a memory of you!"

Huh.

First dive, after all the safety talks, I got, "Don't die. The paperwork's a pain!"

Which is, coincidentally, what I tell my patients.

The other thing they said was "you sit at the door, when it's time to jump I will tap you on the shoulder, then you jump.
If you don't jump, you get a size 12 boot in your back, this is called an assisted exit"

I try to forget my dark past and keep my mind renewed daily.
