I suppose the real value in a bucket list is to get one's head up from the mundane tasks at hand and recognize that we won't live forever. I've been thinking about this a little bit, since Hobie brought it up. I wonder about one thing....
Is having the dream worth as much as the actual doing?

Bucket list.......... hmmm......
Only two things come to mind right now. One is to go to Scandinavia and see the birth place of my family. The other, go to Australia and take Aussielass some baccy. lol. Ok, not just to take her some baccy. I want to see the Outback. Go to the center of the continent just to say I did it. Australia just has a certain appeal to me that I eventually will make it down.

Scratched #1 off my list on Saturday, as I did the Mario Andretti Experience at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. I only got 5 minutes of track time (yes, this must be a very profitable business for them), so that is enough for 4 laps. Then all the cars have a rev limiter which is set at 5K RPM, when it kicks in, the engine stumbles and you have to let off the gas a little to reset it. But I did manage to get up to 152.83 MPH.

I must say that looking at the various bucket lists on this thread makes me really feel blessed.

I have been able to do most of the things that have been listed. traveled all 50 states and a good portion of the globe and hunted and fished in most of them...working on my third wonderful wife. (first 2 passed away.)

live in a small town where I can smoke almost anyplace. I have never driven the Alcan to Alaska and I am A bit long in the tooth to do it now but that is a minor thing. Going to ride the train from here to L.A. in two weeks time with new wife. (Yup, newly wed)

Only other impossibile thing would be to return to age 20, knowing what I know now and say, "NO THANK YOU I DO NOT WANT TO LEARN HOW TO JUMP OUT OF AIRPLANES!!!"
