What's on your bucket list?

A new bucket!

Well working for Lamborghini for almost 20 years, I have had plenty of share of driving fast on both track and street in excess of 200mph. My go fast days are over and like the simpler things. I applaud you sky divers and military but for me I still don't see the need to jump out of a perfectly good running aircraft....

The problem is I have never seen a perfectly good running aircraft…

I'm with you on not jumping out of an aircraft that's still flying. When I was in the USAF I was on flight status. I always figured I'd strap the parachute to my chest and just before the plane crashed I'd jump out the door and use the chute as either a skid pad or a cushion to break the fall.

October 2019. Before the covid, before the cancer when i had weight. Daughter and wife first jump. Good times.

As some of you know a few years ago I had cancer pretty bad, and but for an organ transplant I wouldn’t be here now. I’ve already celebrated my “last” Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, that now in hindsight was a little premature. Prior to the cancer I had a list; it evaporated. Funny, I don’t have one now.

That's awesome news!

Cancer is a helluva weight loss program for sure. Lost 35lbs through surgery and radiation and cannot gain it back. Been five years and I consider myself one of the fortunate ones although still affected for life.

I think that's why I have the one open item, more family time and watching the kids grow up.

We are talking about buying a marina somewhere, who knows?

God Bless all of the survivors here.

Jim, I'm another who lost weight during the chemo treatments and the months following. I was diagnosed January, 2020, went through chemo, lost about 35 pounds and all my hair, most of my finger nails and toe nails. And strength and stamina.

It's been 18 months or so and I have my hair, fingernails and toe nails back and am getting my stamina back. I also gained about 20-25 pounds back and am at a weight that is good for me...~220.

New item on my bucket list is to make it to age 90. That's 15 more years and right now I feel like that's doable.

To find wingless' real identity.
Done.

It would just be a let down when you see what a looser he is living in his mother’s basement.

Great Loop....my wife and I are going to Houston in March for the Great Loop weekend seminar.

 

[The Bill Collector]

Two things that are now checked off and I didn't even realize they were on my list...

1) My wife is from Germany and she used to fly for British Airways. We were in Munich for Oktoberfest and flying to Berlin in a B.A. 737 one-class seating. We got on board and the wife was in the forward galley as she knew several of the flight attendants, I went back to row 23. After several minutes she came back, told me to grab my coat we were moving forward, she introduced to her friends and directed me into the cockpit where I was introduced to our pilots, she slammed the jump seat down and buckled me in. I flew from jetway to jetway in the cockpit jumpseat. (2005)

2) We were in Australia for our honeymoon, were out the Great Barrier Reef, I was scuba diving (on my list) and my wife was snorkeling. I had my Coast Guard Captain's license with me, the helm was secured so I knocked, flashed my credentials, and was let in. Captain Sharkey was running the boat @ 35mph with 50+ passengers on board I asked to take his picture he said of course and asked me if I wanted my picture taken while running the boat ? Absolutely !!! The only warning was don't hit a whale, I get in trouble if we hit a whale... (2009)View attachment 112270 View attachment 112271

Years ago, I really wanted to go to the Frank Hawley Drag Racing School in Florida. It was only an hour and a half away from me. That's not in the cards anymore. Maybe after our caregiving is done (that wasn't on the list but it happened) I'd like to take a month and head to Australia.

That and your hamburger taste test post were the best!

I'm pretty sure Yogi Bear tried that.

How did it work for Yogi?

A new bucket!

No joke….. I bought a new bucket last season…. It changed my life… do it

the old one was big and barely fit in the trunk. The new one is smaller with flat sides round ends …. A world of difference storing and retrieving. I can’t believe I lived with the old one for 4 years
