TommyT-Bone | Bucket List | ||
Chair-man of the bored
|
My bucket list is mainly comprised of going to and seeing places. I've climbed mountains, scaled cliffs, skydove, snorkled and fished. I've played in the snow. sledded and tobogganned. Autocrossed, drag raced in the 1/8th, steet raced and more. Lounged in strip bars, played pool, drank a lifetimes worth over 40 years. Been to Europe the Carribbean and parts of the Mid East. I've camped out, shot bows and guns, served in the USAF. Worked almost 30 years the same job. Picked fruits and vegetables, lived in cities, lived in the country, done volunteer work and survived a natural disaster. Been through hell and had glimpses of heaven. Nearly died more than once. Gambled on horses, dogs, table games, the lottery and put impressions in the seats at the one armed bandits. As you grow older I hope you gain experience. I've been to hundreds of concerts. Even sat near the stage at the 25th Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert. I'm always looking for the next thing to do. I should go on that Rock and Roll cruise with my wife. It just hurts to think of spending 8 grand for just 4 days. 4 for the cruise and 4 for gambling (2K each) So ..... What's on your bucket list? Maybe I can steal a few good ideas. Fire away ............

If I ever empty my wife's bucket list,(never happen), I think I'm gonna be a hippie like Peter Sellers in the movie "I love you Alice B. Toklas".

Most important. Find a job that doesn't suck. I worked a lifetime in a job I wasn't too crazy about. The only good thing about it is now I get a monthly check for the rest of my life or until the pension fund runs out. Save for your retirement NOW. It comes sooner than you think. |

I have to admit, I have been lucky to do a lot of neat things... my adult life has made up for my rather protected and sheltered childhood. My mom was always one of those people with the mind set of "don't you dare" versus "why not, it won't hurt you!"
I have been to Italy, France, England, Germany and Holland. I want to see Australia and Japan. I have been to Hawai'i, but would love to tour some of the other South Pacific islands, Midway, Wake, Guam, Samoa, Saipan, Fiji, Tahiti. I want to go to Monaco for the GP and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. See NASCAR on a road course. Own a Ferrari. There are others... but that's enough for now. |

Ya know, thinking about it, I don't have a bucket list, guess I'm screwed up that way.
When I was 12, I wanted to drive racecars. And now..... I want to drive racecars. And that's messed up cause I'm going to put the C2 together, slowly. There's nothing else on my list. |

My bucket list is too long to mention but for a couple of things... get my old body back, find someone to share my life with and maybe have a child before it's too late, the simple things in life, I love the ocean and boating and would like to live where I could enjoy that. I like exotic foods and wouldn't mind living on a remote island or place in the caribbean or mexico where they make due with what's there, my house would be beachfront with no need for screens on the windows or locks on the doors...
I'll take this one for starters: http://www.privateislandsonline.com/sea-shell-key-florida.htm |

One of the things that I have always wanted to do is to take a coast to coast road trip with my dad in one of our Vettes.
I also want to see both my son and step-son grow up and have a family of their own. |
