26 july 2003,
That's when my 40 is. Looking foward to it too.
I lived my life until 27 not exptecting to live past 21.

So I get kinda Jazzed about actually getting this far, and I also dont look 40 (or act it).:D:D:D:D

I've started counting in hex. I like it much better that way. But no matter what the calendar, I don't feel that much different than I did when I was a lot younger; it just takes more exercise to keep feeling that way, and the 20-year-olds no longer check me out.

I'm finding it really entertaining. Kinda like being 20 but with credit cards with really really high limits.

And kids to tickle that live with me. And dogs and bicycles and church and skydiving and vacations to Disneyland.

The 20's and 30's were hard. I'm cresting now and I'll start coasting ten years from now until whenever the end comes.

Meanwhile me and SM1 are doing a POPS birdman jump at Eloy.

And most of these little maggots can't come.

Hahar!

:P

You know, you almost had me there. I had my calculator ready to go....and suddenly I realized I would be...almost 40.:S

my grandfather said the days drag on the weeks go by and the years fly....

i celebrated my 45th last April, but i still haven't gotten a pops# yet. This last year was fantastic. Started a daily yoga and meditation practice, burned off 25 lbs., and still did 160 jumps! (yeah could have done more).... The jumpsuits i have are too big now, my fallrate is too slow, and my clothes are almost falling off, but i feel better than i've felt in a decade!

I only got my number when I needed it for a POPS jump. Until then, it was just a club.

I don't plan on getting a POPS number. If you all want me to have one you'll have to spring for it and force it on me. I definitely don't act like a POPs, I don't look much like a POPS, and I probably don't fly much like a POPS since I've not been jumping that long.

Hey dude! My birthday is August 20th. Maybe it's the age where you really start living or maybe it's the year all the crazy people were born! lol Have a great birthday! I will...I'm doing 40 jumps on my 40th!!!


The secret to life is not arriving at the grave in a well preserved body but sliding in sideways completely worn out yelling "holy crap" what a ride!!!
