"all inertia, no conscience"...man, does that resonate or what!

Smart man.

I was a rock climber for about 15 years, and always had a healthy fear of heights. I just dealt with it.

Funny story.

I was going for my first parachute jump in Marana, AZ on the other side of our training base which was run by a three letter "company". Two other agents were with me who were also doing their first jumps. Solo, 3,000' AGL (above ground level).

I told my mates that I had to be first out of the Cessna because if I had to watch them go first it would make me nervous.

One of them says, "But you're a climber!".

I said "Yeah, but when we get to the top we don't jump off!".

True story. I loved it but I was scared until the canopy deployed.

Same. On my one and only tandem jump, watching my son fall out of the plane first……absolutely shredded my confidence !

I always like to be first...and get it done.

(Not always the best decision going in a door...but...you gotta be true to yourself.)

I have a height phobia. Including the occasional nightmare where I climb up on something and can’t get down anymore…when I finally fall, I wake up.

But MC is right, one can fight it.

Bungy jumping in Austria (~300ft) in the early 2000s after I lost a bet. The lady behind me in the blue sweater is now my wife.

Note the double bungy due to weight

Nana gave the boy her old fish tank yesterday, so today we had to go get some rocks, decorations, and some cool goldfish to put in it. We will see how good of an idea it was to put it in his room

(Note the Seahawks color theme )

Thanks !

Early summer, probably. There was a screw-up with the windows, they were broken during shipment and will only be replaced by April. Causes a bit of a delay overall but not much.

Fingers crossed all goes smoothly and y'all are finally moved in and writing your next chapter.

It’s looking really nice. I’m sure it will be worth the wait. I appreciate the update.

Did you guys put in a geothermal ground loop, or are you just going with a boiler for floor heat?
