“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Get the fuck out of Texfornia. Nothing else really matters at this point. Within 4 years I hope.

I have been trying to check these boxes as I am able but here are a few off the top of my head.

1. Visit/fly fish Alaska (my only state left to visit)
2. See the northern lights
3. Travel the Grand Canyon via Colorado River and camp my way through.
4. Hike the Sierra Nevadas to catch a Californian Golden Trout

A couple of us have similar goals, lol. Mine, in no particular order:

1. Camping overnight in the Dry Tortugas (been wanting to do this for years).

2. I need to get to Hawaii...it's the only one of the 50 states I haven't been to, and I want to go aboard the USS Missouri, see the USS Arizona, and look into a live volcano.

3. Climb Cloud Peak in the Wyoming Bighorns (I've been close to doing this 4 or 5 times in the past but never made it up due to weather, snow cover, lack of time, etc. We have plans to try again this summer)

4. Back seat ride in Blue Angels #7. Probably never happen, but I can dream.

5. Visit all 7 Continents (still missing Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica).

6. Hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim.

There's probably a few others, but those are the big ones. I gotten to accomplish some good ones in the last few years as well, like going to Alaska with my son. It's fun to have a list, but it's even more fun to actually do them.

Sky Dive
Take both long motorcycle and car trips. (staying in US, maybe eastern Canadian coast.)
Get back to visit Italy and Greece again.
Sail from the Caribbean to Newfoundland in a small to medium size sailboat.
See my best friend from my youth that I haven't spoken to in 25 years.

1) Fly on a private jet round trip and have a blast for several days wherever it takes me.

2) Learn the truth about all the big mysteries that bug the hell out of me not knowing.

Everything else I've either done, at least to some degree, or don't really care about.

Didn't think I had anything to add, largely because I'm SO over traveling, but...

I sure would like to take a ride in an open cockpit biplane. They used to have one doing lighthouse tours out of Bar Harbor but haven't seen it in a couple of years. Tour comes right over my house as there's a lighthouse I can just see out the kitchen window when the leaves are off. Daughter treated me to a ride in a Cessna-type airplane a couple of years ago.

Attend mass or at least receive the Eucharist at La Chiesa della Madonna del Lago (Little Church of Miracles) in Scanno, Italy.

https://enchantingitaly.blogsp...lake-scanno.html?m=1

Take a Pilgrimage to The Shrine of our Lady of Medjugorje, in Bosnia.

I have been to both of these places when I was just a young fella gallivanting around Europe with his buddies. Now that I have become a Catholic I’d like to return to the places that were possibly the beginning of my journey to become Catholic before I even knew I was on that journey.

Finish my 92 Mustang so our friend ScreamingCockatoo can paint it!

Buy a 1993, 03/04, or 96-98 Cobra. The 96-98s are likely the most attainable for me and will likely slap a ProCharger on it.

When you get to Hawaii, that technically counts as the continent known as Australia or more properly Oceania.

I still need Africa, South America and Antarctica. Thinking of combining SA and Ant together in a cruise. Probably in about 5 years from now when I have more time in a December, which is the optimal month.
