That’s how expensive skydiving hobby is. Unless you’re an instructor. Then you get paid to skydive.

My hobby costs nothing after that initial ten years and a total of $10k investment in classes & equipment. Now with my own gear I can do it anytime, anywhere in favorable weather plus expending a shit-ton of physical exertion.

I was watching a Rob Reiner interview today (Rest in Peace 😭) and he paused to think of the best word to complete his thought, and while he paused I thought “zeitgeist” is the perfect word to describe what he’s talking about, and I KNOW that’s the word he was searching for, but he used three other words as a synonym to describe it, and now I see you using the word zeitgeist, and hey, thanks for making me feel a little more complete today.

Because I think the graphic missed the parts about the MC4 cables & the solar charge controller & the Lithium battery & the power inverter, a few little details like that.

It’s a stereotype, not necessarily documented in any encyclopedia. (Or maybe it is, I dunno ) But as a former gym rat I can attest that when lifting weights & doing reps in a gym* I’m not thinking of much because all my physical & mental energy are focused on the workouts, not even able to verbalize any of it.
*However when RUNNING outdoors, tons of thoughts & ideas & innovations & productivities are flowing.

Alternate outcome would be:
No I’m not giving you $5. You need medical attention, I’m calling 911.
Tweaker fakes back/neck injuries, your insurance & the hospital & the court system gets involved, the process drags on for years, you spend time in jail for hitting a pedestrian, your driver license gets suspended, your car insurance skyrockets, and on & on.
- Comment on inside joke 1 week ago:
I posted this silly video as an inside joke for my daughter, Sarah. I posed in Cleveland eating a taco. For decades, and TOTALLY AS A JOKE, whenever I want to mention a place nobody wants to go, I say “Cleveland”. It goes back to the jokes in the comedy baseball movie Major League and the old Drew Cary TV show. Both are set in Cleveland and make jokes about the city.
The other part of the inside joke is that don’t like to eat hard shell tacos. You bite into them and they crumble and leak all over you. I like the flavor, just not the eating experience.
SO, it became 7 running joke between my daughter and It that the last thing I’d ever want to do is eat a taco in Cleveland.
I personaly have nothing against Cleveland. I enjoyed myself while I was there. I did several other videos in Cleveland when I visited there in 2016. If tacos didn’t crumble, I’ I’d like them too. I eat lots of li burritos.
I never explained what the inside joke was, because it was something only a very few people knew about. It is just me being silly. There are no hidden messages, or anything sexual intended in the video. As Peter Yarrow once told me about his song Puff The Magic Dragon, “It means exactly what it says it S.”
FYl, Cleveland is named after Moses Cleaveland. One story on why the city’s name is spelled without an “1” is because a surveying crew misspelled the name on a map. The other story is the local newspaper deleted a letter in order to fit the name on the top of the newspaper. Thus a joke about a town that couldn’t spell its own name. I did a video on that, too,

Because you know the meathead in that mirror selfie had absolutely nothing on his mind but his huge body that’s about to explode.

Better yet, how about just remember to bring your fookin wallet, phone, and keys every time you leave the house
