What's on Your Bucket List?

Hello. Now I am curious.

What do you want to do before you die?

Mine are:
-swimming with dolphins
-motorsports
-having 2 cats
-having 2 guinea pigs
-visit other countries

 

I want to buy and restore an antique pick-up truck, which I will paint yellow.

 

Drive across (to/from) the U.S. I learned to drive a couple of years ago so this is a big deal for me. Unfortunately I have not rented a car and driven since I got tinnitus due to inconsistent sleep patterns.

Tread water. I learned to swim about 5 years ago and can swim laps but still can't tread water and have a fear of deep water. Learn new swim strokes.

Sleep well naturally without meds.

Own another big furry dog.

Have my own child/or adopt.

Read the entire Bible and visit the Holy Land.

 

I have a dream to go on some sort of spiritual pilgrimage to an exotic location ala Doctor Strange in Nepal.

 

This just may be the second thing to do on my bucket list.

 

Great minds think alike.

Not to appear political, but I've become sort of disgusted with western culture, the selfish materialism, the lack of spirituality, the cynicism, the lack of or debasement of real love. It doesn't help me with my T, that's for sure.

 

Have healthy ears and floater-free vision back.

I have other things I want to do, but they are dependent on aforementioned getting solved.

 

This is the best bucket list, yet.

 

1: 8 hours sleep
2: Cure mental fatigue
3: Be one strong mother fucker
4: Peace
5:To give something back

Very interesting, @hoper! Love it!

But, I had something more like this in mind. What do you think?

 

Jump in the car and start driving with no destination in mind. Perhaps some places in mind but not time table for getting there. I live in the northeastern us and I'd love to visit the south, the Cumberland Gap and Blue Ridge Mountains. I'd then head west. Most stops would be natural wonders.

I've always thought there was some magic to working on cars but as I've been tinkering I've learned there isn't. It takes time, patience and persistance. I'd like to work on my truck, and wife's car, more. I enjoy solving mechanical problems and figuring things like that out. Of course I'd read the manual but there's a difference between reading the manual and actually doing it. While doing this work I'd like to simply enjoy it, not get stressed when things don't go right or worry about finishing by a certain time.

Build a garage or barn in my yard to follow through with working on cars and use to work on all kinds of stuff. I feel like I've missed the deadline for that one, I chose a profession I love but money is always tight. Perhaps I'll find a path that allows that to happen.

Visit Europe and tour ww2 battlefields. I don't celebrate war but I'd like to visit the places I've read about and try to understand what the soldiers went through. I'd start at the D day landing beaches, see the Hurtgun forest, the bridge at Remagen and Bastogne.

Chickens, that's another one. Very attainable but a big commitment to me. I'd hate to lose them to predators or the weather. It would be a hoot to work in the garden with a flock or 5-8 chickens following me around.

 

This is another one for my bucket list, if I ever get the pick-up.

 

@emmalee I don't think you'll want to take that pickup cross country. You might want a new fangled one for that trip.

 

Ha, Ha! Nope, taking the pick-up, I won't be in a hurry...no timetable...

 

I wish to visit some standing stones in the UK/Ireland (not Stonehenge!), stand on Hergest Ridge & visit the BTA.
It's a long way to the top if you live in lil ole Aotearoa NZ

 

I'd love to move to Tokyo, but I can only speak about three sentences of Japanese so I would settle for a long visit.

I'd like to find the boyfriend who has eluded me since 2009. (Coincidentally the year hyperacusis kicked in.)

 

Ah, a woman in an old pickup truck. Where have I seen that happy ending before?

 

Visit Japan
Hear silence hahaha

 

Live on a private island for a 2 months

 

Visiting Scotland, the north of Norway, and northern and central Australia. One more trip to Iceland, Japan, and Tasmania.

 

Does this mean that you would be interested in hiking in Morocco?

 

I can cross this off of my list, Bill. I backpacked through Europe and Morocco when I completed high school. I am sure there have been plenty of changes since then, though.

There are plenty of places here, in North America, that I would love to visit....in the pick-up, of course.

 

I love this clip, thank-you. Great movie, I have watched it so many times. The pick-up is perfect! Just what I want, in yellow, though.

 

Bucket list:

* read Moby Dick

* teach my child the basic and advanced survival skills that will maximize their odds of surviving in a world where basic infrastructure collapses on a global level as huge swaths of the planet become uninhabitable and people (especially people in vulnerable developing countries) die in numbers that have never been seen before, as a result of rising temperatures & sea level and the ecosystem and food chain disruption that will follow

* own a set of extremely decadent silk pajamas with real fur cuffs.

 

Was he talking about "Thelma and Louise"?

 

No, the clip is from the end of the Tom Hanks film Castaway. Unfortunately the actress in that scene has since died. Carpe Diem!

 

Looks pretty cool. Don't wait to make your dreams come true.

 

I'd like to see the Northern Lights.
