Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 15, 2018

she’d rather not, buster

Let’s see, he’s 85…that means the company has to pay him $11 for the privilege of taking him skydiving.

You notice wife doesn’t even look up from her book or offer a comment. Sh’e trying to remember if the life insurance policy is paid.

This was an item on my bucket list – however, I am finding as I get older, I am not as much of a risk taker, so I modified my wish. I would like to do INDOOR skydiving – a center just opened near us, so when I lose the weight I want to (down 50 – only 40 more to go), I am going to treat myself to THAT. Should be able to do it before I turn 65 (I am 61 now).

Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft seems counterproductive, I told my paratrooper son.

I told a parachute plane pilot that one time. He said they preferred to jump as opposed to landing with him. :)

If he’s not real careful, that really WILL be the last item on his bucket list.
