Piloted a 14 rib boat half a mile offshore in 50 knot winds 4 foot seas and a driving rain to effect a rescue of an overturned kayak not visible from shore. The coast gaurd was unable and the police boat unwilling to react within a reasonable time. They had real boats. A 50 knot wind around will make for some serious waves, much more than 4 footers. Good job on the rescue!

Bench pressed 530 at 177 bodyweight and 58 years old, drug free. So far, it's the best over 50 drug free, multiply 181 bench, of all time. Incredible. Most can't bench their own body weight, and you have a coefficient over 3.25.

Missed it by a hair, at lockout.

Watched a small aircraft pass low by my rancher friends house, wave to us, climb, stall, nose in, explode in a fireball killing the pilot.
In springtime watched as a cow elk brought her new calf from a mountain valley down into a pasture and introduced it to the rest of the herd for the 1st time.
On 4 separate occasions I was caught in avalanches in Colorado and survived.
Hunted elk on Greg Norman's private ranch.
Had a canoe get sideways in a river above a strainer of logs. The power of the river folded the canoe like a piece of paper. Terrifying. Survived by the grace of some barbed wire that was wrapping the strainer.

Swallowed a hacky-sack coated in butter for a $20 bet, a lot of money in 1978. My first wife was trying to convince me of the pain of childbirth. Passing that sack didn't get me a participation trophy when I offered that experience to her.

Well, I was a NASA launch countdown commentator, something only a handful of people have ever done, and never more than three at any point in time. Before that, I also did commentary for Air Force Titan III launches, which were public so seldom that I was the only guy on the planet doing them.

With a bow, bobcat, two bears, herd bull.
Saved a lady optician with the Heimlick after she rolled forward into her plate with a bolus of bread stuck in her throat. Took one good compression, then a hard compression and nothing. Didnt know what to do so I went for popping ribs. That did the trick.
3 10 point whitetails in one season with a bow. None near a feeder.
3 30 inch muleys. One a Texas state record and no.5 in the world for desert mule deer, only after several Heaven sent miraculous blessings.
All on self guided hunts in Texas, NM, Co, Mt.

Crashed on takeoff (piloted by a doctor) in a Beech Bonanza- walked away with nary a scratch.
Investigated a maintenance failure by United Air Lines, got them for a 1 million dollar civil penalty.
Done the deed in KSA & UAE.
A few other notables not up for discussion.

picked up a mother/daughter combo in a Miami bar back in 1985. They must have really been into cast iron pans.

Got hit pretty much head on by a jack-knifed 18 yard end dump while driving a Nissan Frontier. Crawled out passenger door none the worse for wear.

Was turkey hunting with a buddy. He was calling and the Tom walked so close to me I just reached out and grabbed him by one leg. The fight was on then!It took a while to subdue him and ring his neck.

I pumped out all of my wind-shied wiper fluid and filled the reservoir with gas I siphoned from my old 72 f250 several times one evening. I undid the tubing to the squirters and stuck the end of it in the carb and clamped it down with the air filter lid. Fuel pump had quit, dead deer in the back of the truck, and it was 60 some miles home before the days of cell phones. It would run a bit when I primed it so I just kept priming it with the window wash button. My first plan was to stop at the nearest ranch and call for help, but it worked so good for the first 15 miles, I just kept refilling the washer tank every 10 miles or so, and kept on going. It was all about thumb timing, by the time I got home, I was pretty good at it. Now that is a story.
