Stomping the pedal to the metal in a 500 horsepower Corvette at a dead stop.
Scares the shit out of ya when it lights off sideways but you love every second of it.

Getting caught in the South Pacific Convergence zone with 45 to 65 knot wind coming from every fucking direction every 20 minutes! Not even going to mention the lightning that goes along with it. Solo delivery from Raiatea to Oahu. Stopped in Rangriora for more beer and toilet paper

Despite the nasty headache the first time a substantial chunk of shrap dinged off my helmet - and substantially increased the angle of my learning curve:)

Seeing my daughters faces for the first time, holding my son's hand for the first time. Kissing my wife. Believing in my heart that this jug-eared jackass is fulfilling his assigned place in furthering the end times, and awaiting them with glee. Just so I can start shooting all these MUTHERFUCKERS in the face!

First love and first sex. Same woman. Whew.
First time handed helicopter controls was a close second. Either one done wrong could have killed me!

I find feelings of awe, attraction, and power, tend to force fear right out of my mind, so... I can't really remember an instance of this.

Learning to drive.

Buying my Glock.

SHOOTING my Glock.

Receiving my BS from UF.

Watching a bright green plasma discharge from a high-voltage power line - that had been struck by lightning during a HUGE thunderstorm in South Florida - as I drove 20 feet under it.
