Skywalking in the Alps






Portaledge camping at Yosemite





Climbing Redwoods






Sitting on the Trolltunga rock in Norway






Jumping on the Trolltunga rock in Norway

My bucket list has been pretty much all checked off, and, as hard as I try to think back, not one of your things was ever on it nor will any ever be. Well, I may just swing a picnic table from a tree branch, a low tree branch, thats a good idea and extreme enough for this Medicare recipient.

Hell no...  :uglystupid2:

I don't like hights, and last time I checked, I don't have feathers on my butt...  ;)

I'll get my thrills some other way.

All those folks (women included) drive Pick-Up Trucks...  How else would they drag their balls around?

Black Dog
Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

Just looking at these photos made me nervous, I'll pass, thanks. :-\
Now this is getting interesting........

The Anvil

I'll stick with two chicks at the same time.

Oh wait, that one'schecked off. Nevermind.  ;)
Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

These things would solve the problem of getting old.

You got that right Mike.

I was 1/2 scared just looking at them, especially the one where he was camping on the side of the cliff and he had the outside of the bed.    Crap, I roll out of bed here and it hurts, I could just imagine what it would feel like if ya rolled out.    I know, the sudden fall doesn't hurt ya '1 I O TA', it is that damn sudden stop at the bottom.   They would have to scrape me off of what ever I hit.

The skywalking or edgewalking while securely tethered, I would do, but the other stuff...no.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

If I was going to "stress test those ropes and anchors", I would do it for them a LOT closer to the ground.  :)

I didn't get this old by being stupid....at least not THAT stupid.  :uglystupid2:  I'd be so puckered up that all the Dulcolax in Walgreens wouldn't work.

NO     NO    NO..

My stomach got queezy (?) and my head started spinning and my right ear was a ringing just lookin at those shots.  Any tent I sleep in will be on the ground, and walking on top of a 2X4 is high enough off the ground for me. 

Not to mention I am also old.

Not for this guy.  I am not a wimp... just smart.  I won't be doing any of that for sure. 

Ride fast and take chances... uh, I mean... ride safe folks.
