To relieve Stress I'll be skydiving Sunday!

Due to issues beyond my control I'll be heading north to Skydive Temple to get some "fresh air" Nothing like skydiving to relieve one of stress
Its long past due and I've missed jumping out of a worn out airplane. (Seriously well maintained there) Check out skydivetemple.com I'm aiming for 15k feet so I can at least have 1 minute of freefall.

That said, have fun!

Yea gotta agree....If I'm jumping the frickin thing better be on fire or out of gas.

You'd hear me coming from a mile away....just following the scream....I'll be the parachute covered urine stain.

"Perfectly good airplane" is kind of an oxymoron anyways...

You fly, I'll drive.

6 jumps myself. Until you've done it you won't understand. As for deep sea diving, I'd rather fall and go splat that drown. Much better view on the way down!

Wow, I could never do that. You're got guts.
I did go 2500 ft up in a hot air balloon and that was a rush.
