(with chute, off course!)<< Hi Karina, Don't know if you're considering jumping out of the plane at 80 or whether you meant me? I did my first and only parachute jump solo a month after I turned 65, I figured if I waited any longer I'd be too old! ;-) Great ride, no I didn't take a camera, I figured I can't drive and talk on a cell phone at the same time, so trying to take pictures and drive a parachute was going to be utterly impossible. ;-) At 80? No I think there are somethings in life I can pass over. Besides I figured I made the first jump 800 % successful, only tore some shoulder tendons on landing, so I don't want to press my luck for a 1000% at 80! :-) Be a hell of a deal if I failed! :-( ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
