Bucket Lists

The thread about getting a helicopter pilot certificate as a "bucket list" item got me thinking that we ought to have a thread for people to share their own bucket list items and to mention any completions. I got one knocked off of mine today - I'm now a PADI-certified SCUBA diver and am completely stoked about it! I should've done this 20+ years ago (one of my roommates was a dive master and I should've gone for the cert. since we spent a lot of time playing around with his gear and such but I just got too busy with school, work, etc. - I know, silly excuses...) Looking forward to lots of good time in the water when I'm unable to be on a surfboard, diving with rays and turtles in Hawaii next month, etc.! A new world awaits!

So who else has completed a bucket list item recently or just wants to share a few still "to do"?

I kicked the bucket before I finished my list so I've rewritten my to do list

Build an expedition overland 4x4 rig and continue travelling until I've seen 100 countries
Learn to laminate carbon fibre and TIG weld titanium
Keep designing until I've worked on at least 50 different cars and collect all of them in 1/43 scale
Learn to sail and island hop around the Croatian islands
Build my dream garage and do a restoration on my 930 and build the worlds lightest road legal 964
Learn to cross country ski and do a heli-drop on a mountain and snowboard back down

Reckon I'll need to live until a 125 years old to finish mine
