If the option were available to me, I'd have been spending these last years of BAU having a wild and crazy time and doing the things I always wanted. But I am hindered by this and that and all that's left is depression and regret.

...made me wonder if any of you have a real (ok, it doesn't have to be written on yellow paper) bucket list, a la same Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman fillum.

In the meantime, I'm off for a week's jollies playing music and consuming serious fun on the western coast, all of twenty-five miles away, so I'll read your lists with (hopefully) interest next weekend.

Go on, what do you want to do before you become 404ever?

No takers, eh? You've - all of you - done all you want to do already?

My list:

Go off-grid, electricity-wise or develop a community-owned windfarm.
Become over 50% self-sufficient in food.
Get into a rowing team.
Buy a few acres of land and plant trees on it.
Sail to Iceland and back.
Help start a community garden.
Edit: get fluent in Irish (thanks for reminding me, postie!)

Move to a village by the sea where I rent occasionally
Get better at playing bongos
Become even less reliant on the grid
Learn to forage seashore effectively

Being off-grid means you have to keep on eye on the sun and battery level when on PowerSwitch!

Sail on the sea. Never done it.. ever. Long term aim.. own a small sail boat, big enough to live on if needed.

Learn to ride a horse. Never done that either... ever.

Learn to speak German fluently, have been learning on and off for over 10 years now.

Get better at basic woodworking. At the moment I'm at advanced bodger level.

Dance on Thatcher's grave. ( once I get to the front of the queue)

Learn to carve stone.

Nice lists, postie and paul1963

1. Finish my house down to the last trim nail including weatherization enough to cut it's heat loss in half.
2, Make 100 plus gallons of maple syrup in a season.
3, Buy a good 45 HP 4WD tractor.
4, Build a barn to store the tractor and other equipment.
5, Rebuild my hunting camp
6, Shoot a ten point buck
7, Grow four million calories worth of food on my own land in a year.
8, Build a trout pond in the lower field.
9, Take some children fishing for the first time in their lives. (Grand kids preferred but any wide eyed six year old will do.)

I let this sit all day hoping someone braver then myself would venture into the mine field ahead of me but as no one has stepped up to the challenge???!!
KFP with two hot women as you describe what use or need will they have of you??
Perhaps some over chaperoned school girls let off the leash or a couple of divorcees demonstrating that it wasn't their fault but HLLs? how dose that work??

That is the only logical conclusion isn't it?

Most of the things on my fucket list are too personal or too kooky to post here, but the more practical ones are:
- Learn to play tunes on the violin at more than half-speed.
- Publish a book of poems.
- Get the hang of self-hypnosis.
- Overcome my fear of heights.
These are minor things, though, compared to the ones I haven't mentioned...

I nearly put that on my list but I don't think it will ever happen.

I can manage - with extreme difficulty - a ladder up to our gable. I tried some scaffolding to the same height but absolutely no way. Very little to cling on to.

As for your other, unlisted, aims Ludwig, we're all intrigued now.

Ah! You need to speak to Heinberg then. It's perhaps the only time that RGR recommends him highly.
