The man who just celebrated his birthday with his first ever skydive at the age of 105. Wait, what? Yes, Navy veterans version Butch Carlson checked off an item off the bucket list by doing a tandem jump on Sunday afternoon. And before the jump, he told reporters he was ready. Not nervous. No, why not? Not shaky or anything, you know. Looking forward to that jump. The jump was a success. Last year, for his 104th birthday, Bush did his first horseback ride with his little brother, who's only 99. Look at him go. Not slowing down anytime soon, and I love to see it.
