The Sarge tries to let his fears guide his experiences. Do that which you are afraid to do. Easy Peasy

As a newly minted Mosquito Wing Private in the Easy Peasy Army, Juan, your first assignment is to memorize the Oath of The Easy Peasy. It's pretty simple and shouldn't take long to memorize. Ready? Here it is: " Easy Peasy " That's it.[1] Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] There will be a quiz next Monday.

The Sarge feels ya. He has a fear of heights, too. Nobody believes him, but he is.[1] He is. Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] It's part of what makes it fun - being scared. Like scary movies. Many of us want to be scared.

The Dino-Suit is currently awaiting its next victim. Easy Peasy

The Sarge prefers "Hop & Pop" - jump out (the "hop") at freefall altitude (11,000-14,000 feet (3300 - 4200 meters for the rest of The World)) and deploy chute immediately (the "pop") without freefall. Similar to most static line jumps but done much higher and you deploy yourself without the line. Turns a 1-minute freefall into a 12 to 15-minute canopy flight. (wind/weather, altitude, and flight path dependent) , Free fall is fun and all that, but it's over too darned fast. Easy Peasy

Uhhh ... usually The Obvious: have lunch[1]... ... but occasionally, if you're lucky[2] ... Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] Duh. [2] Alone, or with a partner!

There was a picture of The Sarge getting drunk with his favorite bottle at Bright Angel Campground at Phantom Ranch (bottom of the Grand Canyon after a long hike down the North Kaibob). His ever-present hiking hat on with matching headlamp (it's dark down there at midnight.) Was cropped to just show the face and not the bottle - public drunkenness being ... not allowed ... at that particular campground. After that there were any number of pics of Running Sarge at various Marathons and Half-Marathons ... Easy Peasy

If you stay with it for more than three weeks (regular*vigorous* exercise) then you wont get so sore anymore and you'll even start getting young again. Seriously. Reverse the aging process. Half-hour, three to four times a week is all you need. Most folks find that once they get healthy and start digging it, they want quite a bit more than that. Easy Peasy

The Barney Suit was causing problems in the bedroom w/ Mrs. Sarge. We couldn't figure out what to do with the tail. [1] ;) Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] It had to go. Had to.

It can be as simple and easy as ... well ... jumping out of a plane.[1] Some folks just don't want to let go and some *really* don't like that feeling of falling, but in the end you end up on the ground no worse for wear and Euphoric. Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] Trying to stay relevant to the whole skydiving theme.

The Sarge just sent The Barney Suit out to be cleaned (Shouldn't eat spicy foods while wearing the suit). Will have it cleaned, pressed, repaired, do-loused, and disinfected for the next eligible contestant. Easy Beastie

... and he brought his Sausage with him [1] Still working on the signature ... Easy Peasy FOOTNOTES: [1] Anybody got an extra egg for the needy?

You quit for 365 days and you're the next wearer of Sarge's Barney Suit. :) Easy Peasy

Shhhhh - he doesn't know it yet, but successful completion of One Full Year rates a Full Barney Outfit - giant bulbous purple head and all ... Cheezy Squeezy
