Bucket List?

Saw STS-95 a while back. If you go, watch the launch and don't try and record it. It doesn't last long.

I've heard that they regularly replace the people who shoo the alligators off of the landing strip.

Some of these are whimsical pie in the sky.

Live to see my kids have kids, and be reasonably successful.

Ride the vomit comet.

Take a winter driving course.

Get back to Galapagos and Hawaii.

Easter Island which I've never been to.

Maybe Antarctica

Australia, my wife won't, but maybe somewhere close to there.

Hit 150 with no dementia or debilitating diseases?

Edit: Ride back down to the Barber Museum, which is supposed to happen this year.

My ex-girlfriend died of cancer last month. She was the same age as me and leaves behind a young teenage son. My landlord just told us he's been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, prognosis is not so good. He's only a couple of years older than me.

I'm getting to the age where I'm attending more funerals than weddings.

My bucket list used to be a list of Big Things which either needed a lot of planning, time or resources. As a result, these items were slow to get checked off.

Right now I've amended my list to only two items:

- Do things that make me happy
- Avoid things that make me sad or angry

Time is too precious to try to swing for the fences. I try to check these two items off daily no matter how big or small they are, and will continue to do so every single day for the remaining time I have left on this Earth.
 
If it's going to hurt the next morning it's not going to be on my list.

It has to be for myself, not for bragging rights but if I can't tell anyone what's the point.

The ultimate item would be to have the entire planet to myself for a day. Everyone else go to another planet but please leave the keys to your toys. I will treat them with respect.

If you want me, I'll be hopping across the moon then, claiming land for the Baggsy Empire.
 
Sit in the stands overlooking Raidillon.

Always wanted to see The Rolling Stones in a small venue.Didn’t quite happen but in 2005 (I think) the Rogers Centre‘s electrician had quit/was fired ,not sure.Any way they needed a standby electrician to be present for all the Blue Jay games that summer and for the Stones concert towards the end of the summer. When the Stones equipment started showing up I had to be there around the clock working with their crew to get everything powered up.As well as all their sound equipment there were two generators on tractor trailers parked on the street, we had to run cables out to, the had their own laundry,kitchen equipment and I even had to hang a light over the pool table that was set up for them.Got to set up their dressing rooms as well as see both the sound check and concert. Best part is I got paid very well for all this, I would have done it for free.

Nice!

I was working at the Ex one summer and there was a concert at the stadium one evening. I had asked my co-worker out on a date after work. We both knew the guy operating the cable car ride over the CNE (I think it used to be called Alpine Way), so he let us stay on for a few trips up and down without having to get off. We had a view of the concert every time the car passed by the stadium. Great date night!

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what band was playing, I thought it was U2, but the dates don't line up. Based on the Interwebs, it might actually have been Van Halen (~1986?), but I guess we were too busy up there to remember... :D
 
Jump out of a plane - done
Repel down a rock face - done
Drag race a bike - done
Scrape a peg at Deals Gap - done
Hang off a sidecar on a track - done**
** wanted to do the P1 where your face is inches off the ground but only managed to ride the P2 - maybe next time

See Tom Waits play his old stuff in a small venue - not likely

Actually participate in this with photo realistic graphics in virtual reality. VR graphics look horrible for now.

With regards to bucketlist stuff, from most soon to furthest:
  1. Beat Elden Ring
  2. Break all powerlift PRs one more time before age prevents this
  3. Break 5km, 10km, 25km, then 40km records for running
  4. Get iRacing skill rating back to 2000
  5. Get iRacing skill rating to 3000 (the professionals like Max Verstappen and Lando Norris are 5000+)
  6. Get back into riding
    1. Hit mid yellow (again)
    2. Hit red group
    3. Go racing
  7. Get a motorcycle in Europe, tour Europe, and hit as many race tracks as possible that I've spent dozens of hours on virtually but never in real life
    1. Special focus on Nürburgring, Spa, Monza
  8. If I'm not dead, figure it out after lol
