"Wish I could do that...."

Wish I could tell my boss to eat shit, and not to expect me tomorrow.

I wish I could make my good friend's 11 year old brother not have leukemia.

Back?

I'd like to try the wing suit thing like Jeb Corliss. But it would take years to get into skydiving/BASE jumping traveling the world etc and it just isn't in the cards, especially with how your mindset changes when you have children.

A lot of things I wish I could do that I lack physical abilities for but things I would like to do and could physically but lack the time or funds for:

• Sail around the world in a wind-powered yacht
• Drive and camp my way across Europe/Africa/Asia
• Spend a year at McMurdo Station
• Do a "Phineas Fogg"
• Learn to be a working cowhand (okay, would probably need to work out and lose some weight before I did this)
• Fly winged, rotor, and lighter-than-air craft on all seven continents

Thats a unique, cool one. I don't know if I'd trust some of the equipment out there in different countries. My grandfather use to rent aircraft wherever he went on vacation. Times have changed a lot. Make sure your up on your engine out procedures.

Exactly why I dialed back off of class V/V-'s when boating.

Man! Since I first saw this video a few years ago, Anytime I see a helicopter, all I think about is how fucking cool it could be.

Then I always remember this video:

You can see Kevin Schwantz do full-lock sliding in this one. Kevin was the guy I wanted to ride like. Nothing on earth is more fun than running a motorcycle through the turns at your limit, having to buy new tires because the sides were worn out but the middle still had tread. I cherish those memories on the Peak-to-Peak, St. Vrain North and South, Loveland Pass, Squaw Pass, Deckers, the old I25-to-36 lefthander, and a host of other places. Just being on a motorcycle in the mountains doing 100+ everywhere you dared...nothing like it.

Of course I wouldn't do any of that nowadays, too much traffic and too many inattentive drivers, back when I was being reckless no one had cell phones and texting didn't exist.
