I don't go to many movies, but this one...I like Jack.

What is on your Bucket list?

One of mine: Boost only 10 on the stock block this year.

Hmm, most of mine sound like retirement goals. Things to do places to see. I am going to try and work on my bucket list this year. I have been so buried in work and drama these last 6 years I have strayed from the real meaning of life. My last two trips through the Colorado mountains on ATV's have been the best adventures I can remember. Nothing like being stuck in snow at 12 thousand feet in July and riding down the side of a mountain to make you feel alive.

Ive actually been thinking about a similar list

I have the time and resources to start doing some of them

One I intend to do this year is fly a towed glider - I think there is a place near here

another I hope to do one day is one of those freefall wind turbine things
I did the Nascar Experience a few years ago - would like to do that again
Ive done a couple driving schools - want to find another cool one or 2 and do it
I want to go on a guided Big Bass fishing trip
There are more Ill have to think about them
More
GO to another NHRA Qualifying and sit real close
As Dana Mentioned a Pro Drag Racing School
Im Going to Hawaii in April so that will get checked off
GO b ack to Paris to check out the historical stuff and make fun of the french
Go Scuba Diving again

I am going to have to think about this one for a while.. but its worth coming back to..

Dana

but driving school is one of them.. I would like to do a road course and a drag racing school both..

I would like to go to Tahiti.. maybe a few other places.. was more willing to travel outside the US until after 9/11

Would like to drive a few supercars or own one, hence the old posts of owning a Z06, that is the closest thing to an affordable supercar there is.

I would like to build a car or rebuild one, Terry would laugh at me on this one.. but given enough time, I could do it. Those "Overhaulin'" type of shows have always appealed to me.

Drag racing school would be great.

I have flown in jets before. F-4, F-15, F-111 but I'd like to fly with the Thunderbirds.

The one thing I'd really like to do but never will, is ride the space shuttle.

I’ve already been able to cross several off the list:
See my son graduate from Texas A&M.
See my son get married.
Vacation in Alaska. Did 3 weeks there and loved it.
Went to drag racing school. Seems kinda stupid since I don’t race the truck.
Own my own house.
Get a college degree.

The one’s I still need to do:
Hold my grandchild and be a Grandma (only have a few more months to complete this one).
Live in Alaska every summer after I retire. I plan on living in the Dallas area during the winter.
Get married (applications being accepted!) P.S. must like Chihuahua’s
Visit Wyoming and Montana.
Buy a new Corvette, not a used one.
Buy another Ford Dually. God, I miss my old one.
Actually live long enough to get my pension.
Become a member to the TAPS ghost hunting team.

Charlie, there was a time when I would do that, but I think that time has passed me by... I just dont have the physical ability to react quick enough if I got into trouble.. that is why I have changed my hobbies and picked up some that I can do for a while to go in the future.. I would have loved to do that and bungee jump too..

That actually looks tame to some of the jumps I've done.....then again it's hard to compare to someone else strapping to a line and moving your ass out the door.

I must say I have a lot of things that would be considered bucket list items that I've already done, but I'm sure as I age and mature I will add a lot that I wouldn't even be able to think of right now.

BTW- Looking forward to that movie, I like both Jack and Morgan.

I thought that too. But I just had a life changing event. And really don't give a crap, so why not do something stooped, right? Just to get the adrenalin going again.:tu:

I have been fortunate enough to see and do a lot of awesome things

I want to spend a few months on the ocean. You know the warm calm postcard kind, not the deadliest catch kind.

I would also like to get my pilots license I have started twice and not finished:hammer:
