Father's Birthday Ideas

[soulreapersteve]

Since he is the outdoor type, get him a GoPro. Record those trips and all that stuff.











Or hookers and blow.

Colt 1911 or similar

Hot air balloon ride. It is a really fun and interesting thing to do. And if you really want to crank up the excitement, you could pack 'chutes and jump out.

That is actually a damn good idea. Too bad he doesn't even know how to use his camera phone.

Got him a Mossberg shotty for his last birthday so a new firearm feels like a redundant cop-out.

I would but he did that with mom before she passed and wouldn't want to dreg that up. Also we went skydiving last year.

There's a guy out near Seaside with a nice Jet Ranger. My wife's never been up in a small plane much less a heli. She loved it.

I dunno, though, once you jump out of a plane on your own (fuq that tandem shit), nothing else really quite gets it.

Plan a vacation to go with him. Any aged father would love to spend more time with their family. Memories are priceless

[Packofcrows]

Skydive or this https://fbcdn-video-j-a.akamaihd.net...99f56b8b14a71e

Take him for a drive over McKenzie Pass. It's just over there ->


quality time

How about a 4 legged companion, there are some super active doges that can join him on his adventures

Spend some time with him doing something he would enjoy especially if you don't see him often. I get more out of a $30 round of golf with my Son every birthday and Father's day than any material object he could hand me and run.

This is what my dad told me the last weekend I was at home. He said he'd like me to "buy some of that fancy beer you're always buying" and bring it up to the cottage for a weekend. He also asked me to go and play a round of golf with him, but it's been 4 or 5 years at least since I golfed, so I had to turn that one down.

Take him out for a track day in the BRZ.

If you have track experience he can ride along with you as a passenger and/or he can drive himself with an instructor.
