Where's my jet pack?

I'm sure we can all appreciate the skill and danger. I'm so jealous. Yves Rossy, what a legend!

i am a flyer
always have been ,
i have been flying alot lately which is probably good for an underpaid shrink somewhere to settle a theory on

i never used to be able to fly properly
i used to crash like americas greatest super hero

but except for the odd set of power lines that still mess me up
i am a jet pack/ levertational man most nights between the time of eyesclosed and eyes open ..

if i had of got the jet pack they promised me by 1980 i wouldnt have had to resort to my own measures

that guy in the videos must be bordering on feeling perfect most days i reckon :)

Normally I'm not one to pass on theories about others dream activity, nor am I an expert on dreams...but...
If you are dreaming of trying to get off the ground and can’t or if you can get off the ground but maintaining your flying takes a lot of hard work…this can mean you feel your freedom is limited by something or you feel you have difficulty controlling what happens in your life. Probably like about 95% of us.
Having said that. If you are dreaming of flying in general you are a lucky person whether you are falling through roofs like the greatest american hero or soaring up into the clouds like an eagle.
My main issue is Yves gets to do it in real life.... while he is awake.
If you have the ability to realize you are dreaming while asleep (Lucid dreaming). Potentially it can open up a whole new world of possibilities such as the ability to control your flying and where you go....like Yves.

Rick, you didn't mention the unicorn once in that post. What's happened? You gone solo now?
Watch out for those power lines.

No unicorn , i am a flyer always have been

I watched this sixty minutes thing once on these weird monks
Somewhere that cross there legs and bounce around trying to levitate
In there monastry .

I am well aware of the dream meanings , but i am a lucid dreamer
As well so its hard to know whats what some times


Oh yes i time travel as well lucidly as well , but for some reason
Your allowed to fly ....and its cool to talk about

But you have to just make bad jokes about your wayback machine
Or they start looking at you funny
I dont know how to describe that setup on a forum
But i am a great flyer and have been good for decades
Lousy time traveller though the damn machine is broken like
In all the tv shows !


My next scheduled trip was going to be looking for something else
But f@#$ it i really want my jetpack now !

I thought I saw those last year advertised at around $50k.
Too much for me but still lots of fun.

oh ben
don't worry i have the tubes ,
i just cannot nail the drift..
it doesn't take too many brains
to know that if you let the envelope of the time space continuum open to the vagaries of a poorly heated
tube or 65 zillion other antique parts

any thing at all
....quite literally is possible

I think I better stick to flying

now

where the f@#$ is my jetpack !

somebody told me
all boats are too small and have issues .. you just have to ask the owner about the size of the problem and what the issues are !

even gods boat gives him the shits some times .. and when his has problems.. he whips up a storm just so we all feel his pain about his boat not being big enough and having issues as well
there is always a wave or two somewhere too big for your boat .. the bastard makes sure we get reminded of that !

when... thats what somebody told me :)


my boat is pulling to the left on the plane at full throttle on glass flat water .. its got me stuffed ?
maybe i need a bigger boat too ?

My boat bit me yesterday.......I probably should of got stitches but as I have never had any I thought I would continue the record........no It wasn't the prop it was because my boat is too small........ the screws that used to hold a cleat to the coaming........ when the wooden cleat broke I just left the screws in knowing full well that decision would probably come back and bite me one rough day when the deck was heaving more than the most sea sick passenger.......shure enough :)
....anyway that did it........I have just finalized the details for transporting a bigger boat from South oz to Sorrento
