Bucket List Items

[Griff]

Has anyone fulfilled any "bucket list" items, even if at the time, you didn't consider them as such? My son & I were talking last nite about accomplishments and/or regrets.

I have a few. But, probably the best one is that I got to ride in the Goodyear blimp out of San Pedro, CA on one of their training flights. Took my wife and 8 year old son. Who got to fly in the co-pilot's seat, and received a "captain's" cap.

I flew to visit a friend in California last year. I had previously said I'd never fly, but after having done it, I am so glad I did. It was a heck of a lot of fun and I want to travel now just to fly!

Had a few of them checked off

To accurately list would take more pondering than my sleepy brain has time for right now

But in photos -- my humble version of a life well lived -- with the biggest regret being the fact that the lady in the last pic is not with me anymore -- making me ponder -- what good is spending a lifetime doing "cool stuff" if you cant settle down and have great relationships?

Im 54 now -- i still have time, but don't have time to waste

Being a fan of Westerns since a kid I learned to ride western when in my thirties, later on a trip to Arizona I got to see Tombstone and fly down the Grand Canyon in a helicopter and I actually watched one of my favourite westerns Stagecoach while in Monument Valley.

To quote a line from Jerry Seinfeld...

"My bucket list was causing me too much stress.

So I just changed the first letter...

And now it's my F***it list"

If I get to an item -- great! If I do something else instead -- OK. And if I don't get to it -- oh well...

Go to your local airport, find a flight instructor and take a 30-45 minute introductory lesson just for the fun of it. Wont cost as much as a ride in the cattle cars they call airliners.

So far so good...

Grew up poor, but became at least 'comfortable' (able to work ethically now because 'living below my means' came naturally).
Looked out my bedroom window as a kid and thought I'd like to build a house in the valley there where I grew up - did that.
Wanted to make the little pond bigger and make a separate bigger pond - did that.
Wanted to meet and marry either a hot teenage girl, a ballet dancer, a farm girl, or a nurse - got all those in one woman.
Wanted to raise kids with good values who were smart - my wife saw to that.
Wanted to see the kids all find good life-mates, and the last one did so this past year.
Wanted to have a chance to corrupt and educate some grandkids, and that seems to be materializing (five of 'em so far...).
Wanted to hold together and perhaps even add on to the family homestead (since my great grandfather hunted here in the 1880's) - so far so good there.

Nothing too major on my bucket list now other than to re-do some of the farm projects that need repair, while I'm still able, and hopefully to spend a summer going through my gun collection with my son, shooting them all, deciding which to sell, which to upgrade, which to keep, and so on. He's less sentimental than I am, so will be better at such things.

I would like at some point to go to Alaska...

LEngthy --- but to add some humor and levity --- thought i would add the humorous bucket list compiled by Adam Carolla, the comedian , a few years back

I am jealous about the blimp ride.

[Tycer]

Yeah. I always searched for a true love, life mate. Found her in Nancy. 22 amazing years.
Bucket list filled.
Then she passed.
Now I have Ashley. Our love is the equal.
Bucket list filled.
I want for nothing.
Well, more range time….

[piller]

I have thought about it. I don't really have much I want to do. Maybe shooting at the buffalo target at the FOBD gun range.

[Safestuffer]

Too much unpredictability today to hold to any kind of a "must do" list. I expect to face a lot of hardship in the future so my philosophy has changed somewhat to be more appreciative of things as they come.
