Climb tower structures and repel chest facing the ground. The normal procedure would be coming down with your chest facing up. Like the SWAT guys do. Do that same thing facing the dirt. Thats a rush!

Back when I was learning to rappel, the guy that was teaching me (and a couple other buddies) pulled over on the side of the road where they had cut thru the mountain. It was a nice 30 or so foot drop, just long enough to get a good jump and short enough to climb back up. After we got comfortable on that, he started instructing on how to go face first. Someone came over the hill about the time he made it to the bottom. I guess they just caught the movement because they swerved across the oncoming lane and onto the shoulder. We quickly packed up and went elsewhere.

Moral of the story, watch where you go face first.

Yeah I have done that too. I threw some empty steel 55 gal barrels in the trash compactor. That was pretty cool.

Sometimes I will grab a pallet jack and ride it in the shop (like 100'x100' building) like it's a scooter.

We also have couches in the loft of the shop and I go up there sometimes to take a nap on my lunch hour.

Some of my bros from his Chevy house mechanic days.
classics but good
nipple in an antifreeze jug, plug into air hose, and shove in the bathroom when someones on the pot...

We do it on the ranch too....shoot random things at other things with compressed air.

And pretty much plan in my head the mods for all our trucks on the ranch...

For "entertainment"?

I take a requirement that has been in the works for 6 months, passed through 5 or 6 "Experts" hands, a couple of "Project managers", and several "Planning Meetings" to take care of all specifications needed to complete the project,.....and find 5 or more "Show Stoppers" in 30 minutes when the project is given to me to accomplish, usually with one or two days to final completion deadline....then watch these "Experts" try to see how they're going to cover their mistakes (without their bosses finding out) quickly enough to allow for the project to be completed and the deadline to be met.




As you can guess, I was handed another project last night that was in planning for over a year, and that HAS to be completed by COB Monday.....
It's going to be an interesting day......
