In My Young And Stupid Days I would....

Lots of stuff I use to do I want do any more. I use to dive off of high objects, out of trees on rivers, off bridges and towers, cliffs...

Highest I dove was 50 foot, my last dive I felt my dive was off, felt like I was doing a slow back flip and was scared I was going to land on my back. I twisted to try to correct and I landed head first, but did not open the water correctly, my neck was sore when I reached shore.

The more I thought about it while sitting on shore, the more I realized I could have broke my back, that was my last high dive, after that 10-15 was max I would dive from.

Those I called "my young and stupid days."...:tongue3:
My highest dive was about 3 feet, never again. LOL
 
One day I sharpened my machete real good and went creek walking, machete was for copperheads and digging, I walk couple miles down stream, while walking I noriced what looked like axe head partilly sticking out of bank, I was using machete to dig it out, I jammed it into bank hard to dig it out and it hit a buried rock, hand slid down the freshly sharpened blade no guard, and cut between thumb and fore finger.

I grabbed my hand saying don't be bad, don't be bad, it was bad, I could see inside my hand. I wrapped it with a rag, hiked back to truck and made trip to packed ER on Labor day.

FYI, it wasnt an axe to make it worse.
