Bucket list Checked off a couple...video link added

I checked one off two weeks ago. Rented a 440hp twin- turbo BMW M3 and ran it on the German autobahn. It was as much fun as I had always hoped it would be!

I might have to add Nurburgring to the list now.

My wife and I want to do the Alcan highway. We’ve been very fortunate to have done and seen a bunch over the years.

This winter we’ll hit Key West and take a Western Caribbean cruise to see Belize.

Had to get more than an hour out of Munich, they have construction and heavy traffic just like the US. Finally got out past the speed limit part to the 80 mph 'suggested" zone and immediately several Audi station wagons move into the left lane and I ran with them for a while at 120. Found a couple of good spots, sun out, dry pavement, very light traffic, come over a hill at 100, no one in the left lane with 2 mile visibility and ran up to 158 mph.

Fly fishing for taiman in Mongolia.

Fish the Gaspe Peninsula.

Scuba dive Truk Lagoon.

See Jane Monheit in a small venue.

Work on an archeological dig.

Go to a Bruins Stanley Cup game.

Truk Lagoon -- now, there's one worthy of a bucket list!!! I wish I could go with yoy if you ever make it!

I dated a girl about 35 years ago who was an accountant for a university that did archeological digs, and she was assigned to accompany one for a whole summer. Only CONUS, if I remember the story, but still, pretty interesting. I think both Indians and dinosaurs were involved. Different eras, of course!

I would like to get more than 100 miles from home.... Never been outta the state. Always a cash or time constraint.

Learn to fly.

Own a fast car, produced domestically.

Learn to ride a motorcycle.
