At least you can change a tire.Not just no, but hell no.
Flying is my one fear in life. I love roller coasters and been parasailing, but just can't fly. Absolutely nothing appeals to me about jumping out of a machine that I'm scared of in the first place. Not a good time.
Not just change a tire, but check the air pressure as well....
Plus change my breaks AND do an oil change.
I'm a man of many talents.

I briefly lost the context of your reply and almost threw this out there. Might as well at this point.

Recent honey do tasks, all from the past 2 months
1. Install new compressor fan on the fridge.
2. Put new tires on wife's bike and adjusted disc brakes
3. Build and install support pole for a video bird feeder
4. Replaced mailbox hit (most likely) by drunken teen neighbor, set it with concrete.
5. Cut down dead tree with chainsaw.
6. Helped neighbor with a flat put on the doughnut spare
DIY is the way to go, until you're too old
I used to do oil changes, but it has gotten complicated with new cars.

Just for the record, everybody can skydive at least once.
If at first you don't succeed, than Maybe Ski diving isn't for you.
@shooter How many pies did you bake?

I can follow a recipe. Any good chemist can. Alas, the February frost killed our mango blossoms, so no mango pies this year. My wife follows a peach pie recipe, and with mangos it's amazing. I made it a couple of times. But pies also don't fit in with the weight loss program, and they aren't so good with splenda.
My ancestry is part German and my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were prolific pie bakers. When my Dad was diagnosed as diabetic in the 80s, my Mom proclaimed that she would cut back to making "just one pie a week". I think I am on the one pie a year plan.

@spartans9312 You were right all along.

I want to ride in a hot air balloon in Albuquerque sometime (October balloon festival) but no jumping out of planes are planned.

I did that locally on the wife's birthday the first year we were married. Great experience.
