Couple years back watched the movie 'Bucket List' starring Nicholson and Freeman. Thought I may as well do one. I have around 100 on my list but have only crossed off about 6.
If you haven't got one have you thought about it? List of 100 things to do before you die? And if you do, how are you progressing through yours?
Knocked out 2 over the weekend. I have alot of simple ones I should get around to but sorta loose track with other stuff going on.
Have never been to a Drive-In movie until weekend gone. Amazing experience for me as a first time goer. Felt like I was in the movie Grease or what-not. Middle store, atmosphere and rockin' 60s rock'n roll classics over the speakers was pretty cool. Warm clear night with a falling star to add followed my a good movie.
Another one on my list was to fire a real gun. Have never but always wanted to try. I've shot slug air rifles, air/gas pistols which was the closest I got but never the real thing til' weekend gone. Went to the firing range and the dude behind the counter askes what weapon did I want to use.... Straight away I said "whatevers the cheapest" as I just wanted to fire "A" gun but not a specific type. It was a 9mm glock 10round $60. Went to the booth and had a couple test trigger clicks before popping in the clip. Pulled back on the top sliding mechanism, aimed at the target and slowly squeezed the trigger until BANG! Second shot hit the same as the first makin the initial hole slightly bigger. I got all 10 shots in the optimal region but was scared from the first shot til the last shot. Holding a weapon that can actually kill someone with a slight pull of a trigger is a no-no for me. Heart was still pumpin' 20mins after leaving the range. I collect Nerf guns and I quite like my toy guns but the real thing? Nah.... not anytime soon. Maybe a sniper rifle on my next list if I'm still alive completing this one.

NFL Hall of Fame. Not so much to see the modern stuff or the busts, but to go downstairs and see the really old equipment and whatever old archival video footage that might be there.
Perhaps the MLB Hall, for the same reasons, as well.

Def. wouldn't matter to me if its 1 min or 1 hour. The dolphin thing is awesome I was in the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago swimming on a private beach in FL. When I seen a fin pop out of the water my first reaction was shit a shark, but then I seen 2 more and a dolphin head pop up. All 3 dolphins actually swam right up to us and rubbed up against us and let us pet them. It was an amazing time and they stayed around for about 10-15 min before swimming off.

^^Awesome. A friend of mine and his brother a while back went fishing in a dingy off the coast of one of the Cook Islands (maybe around the 1980s) and got lost as currents took them somewhere no land could be seen. They were worried and confused which way to go, a dolphin popped his head out of the water and my mate said follow the dolphin. Surely enough they followed the dolphin and lead them to land. Soon as they saw the land on the horizon the dophin dissapeared. Maybe they can sense on another level past our own 5 senses :eerie music here: .... ....
Anyhoo on my list I have "Touch a dolphin" so swimming with them would be great.

I try not to think of the bucket list as I am 40 now and feel better physically than when i was 25 but I am fulfilling things monthly with my new wife of 18 months as frequently as I can. she is very fun and outgoing, wishing I had known her in the way I did now back when we first met 18 years ago.
