bucket list
 
I'm just watching the Bucket List again on HBO.. got me to thinking
Do any of you have a list? What's on it ??
I've always wanted to fly a Super Cub from the lower 48 to AK..

I watched it last night on DVD (for the first time). I don't have a list, but I'm at the age where it sounds like a good idea! I will give it some thought and report back.

Best,

Tom

See the 24 hours of Le Mans

Most of mine have to do with Thailand and are not 'family oriented' :D

1. See a tornado live. Seems exciting. Whenever a large storm comes through I go outside to watch.

2. Find a dead body. Just once I want to be the passing motorist or jogger that finds someone, that is mentioned in the news. Again, seems like a great adrenaline rush, plus what a great story.

I'm gungho about natural disasters. A few years ago we had a small 4.0 earthquake the rattled the house and put several cracks in our foundation. Whatever. I was just thrilled to have finally experienced one!

Lots of people say to me, "Why?" I say, "It's on the bucket list, that's why" ;)

Bought a plane this year; don't know why other than I've always wanted one.

Next is a Ferrari Spider.

Lots of stuff on my bucket list!

"Bucket Lists" only work if you've got some terminal disease. I've been done for a while. I'm disgustingly healthy, so now I'm helping my kids work on theirs...

We're all terminal dude... only the timing changes

Lately I've been thinking about sailing to Bermuda and attending the F1 weekend at Monaco.

KevinP73 12-20-2008 08:26 PM

For me.....I want to visit the graves of my two ex-wives and relieve myself on them.

That's interesting....

How is finding someone dead a "great story?" And "adrenaline rush?" I hope you don't mean in a positive way.

The killer may still be around! You may be next.

I guarantee that if you were walking down the street and found a dead guy, you would tell everybody you met later that day what happened. Adrenaline is a product of fear or surprise. I have no idea what you mean by 'positive'.

campbellcj 12-21-2008 06:31 PM

I would love to get a backseat right in an F/A-18 or similar one day. There is a (very) slim chance I could make it happen as my company does a lot of work for Boeing and NGC but I figure it takes some major VIP connections and string-pulling at levels where I presently do not play.

See LeMans and the Nurburgring
Compete in the targa New Foundland or something similar in a car that I built and paid for.
Own a TT Porsche
Live to be like 80 and then die in a fiery car crash in my 944. Just bury me right there still in the car please.

HardDrive 12-25-2008 02:25 AM

I would like to see my daughter be happy in her life.

I could give a sh%t less about the rest.

+1 Same for my daughter, everything else is just "stuff"

Zeke 12-25-2008 12:54 PM

Really? Wanna share some of your stuff with me? OK, not talking about your SO, but I'll drive your race car! I promise I won't consider it just stuff. :D

WolfeMacleod 12-26-2008 01:28 AM

Have a family

widgeon13 12-26-2008 03:38 AM

The happy life, family health, long life, successful future blah blah stuff is a given.

The "rest" is just for fun and the point of having a list

There is an outfit in S. Florida that has P-51 trainers. Go thru half day of groundschool, they take off and land, you fly in between...

3.2 CAB 12-26-2008 01:22 PM

I think that they even have some of them set up to do the laser dog-fights.
