Well, finally, the day came...it happened. I've been waiting for two years and two months to do it. I had my first skydiving experience today. And it couldn't have been on a more beautiful day. The weather was good, the company was great and I was firing on all cylinders.
Initially, I wanted to do the dive for my 40th birthday, but people kept backing out (or becoming noticably absent) as the day grew nearer. So instead, Emily took me to Cancun, where we had a great getaway. Two years later, I'm working with a bunch of young adventurous-type individuals and I knew that they would be game to do it! Although my birthday was in July, that month came and went, as we were waiting for one of the key people to get his finances in order. Eventually, his birthday turned up in September, where he received a skydiving day as his birthday gift.
Originally, we had all planned on jumping from Byron, because one of the included guys had jumped with them before and he had a good experience. After a few weeks of discussion, it turned out that another guy, who was going to jump with us, had a sister who had a good experience jumping from the company in Lodi, plus it was less than half the price! Can't beat that with a stick! AND she lived to tell the story! Lodi it is.
A collection of blurbs stemming from mostly the motorized projects that I do. Some posts mixed in have to do with my experiences in X-ray school. (Some entries are from older blogs that I killed off.) Some of my toys are a Mazdaspeed Miata that I work on and take to the track, a little Harley that I can't stop modding and an old Yamaha RD400 that I've been collecting parts for over the past 15 years. When I'm not wrenching, sometimes I mountain bike, sometimes I snowboard, sometimes I make beer.
