"Bucket" List...

Steve · 12-28-2009, 03:37 PM

With the new year creeping up on us, does anyone have a "list" of things they would like to do?

Mine, of course, centers around fishing more this year.

Anywhere with my daughter!
Another Keys trip (in the works)
Possibly a quick trip to the Bahamas
Trout in the mountains with my dad in the spring.
Rooster Fish off Baja's Beaches (not likley this year, but there is a possiblity)

shilala · 12-28-2009, 04:00 PM

I'm hoping not to die, and I'm going to the Keys on the 6th.
After that, I'm just gonna resume trying not to die.
I think I have like 45 more doctor appointments. I'm pretty sure they said I was suppose to go see Dr. Moamar Qadaffi the Motion Specialist. I swear. I have no idea what the lady said. That doesn't sound good though.

Spend more time in cooler weather

Prospector · 12-28-2009, 04:24 PM

We've never been to Sturgis (and probably won't this year either).

(that's Sturgis the event, not just the location

)

My goal is to keep Scott (Shilala) alive. Everything else is candy corn.

Good luck with that.
It may require a transplant or two. Try to start saving some extra body parts, will ya?

Not dying is an important goal! I'm with you on that one. My wife said last year was my limit on near death experiances. Where are you going in the Keys Scott? Ill be in the Lower Middle Keys (Big Pine/Cudjoe area) the end of the month.

Lisa and I are going to Tavernier from the 6th to the 14th.
We're staying at Ocean Pointe Suites.
I'm gonna go diving, spend most of the time in the water. If Lisa wants, I'm going to get her certified, but I think she'll be just as happy, if not happier, to sit on the boat and work on umbrella drinks.

I'd like to see the Grand Canyon and Glacier National before my departure. A trip to the Amazon would work, too.

Aside from traveling, I'd like to meet and enjoy all my grandchildren one day (I have a 5 and 6 year-old presently, so I have quite a few years). Include my wife in that. That would complete the circle for me.

African safari before the eternal dirt nap please.

Mine is more of a prayer for the upcoming year, hoping the government changes their mind and sends my class to San Diego for 10 months like we were supposed to be after the academy instead of going to Del Rio which is where they want to put us now to save money.

Cleveland to Miami. Driving down from Miami.
I'm not an Orlando fan, but I do like Sarasota up to Tampa.
I'm gonna have to take the kids to Disney World again one of these days. I'd rather get a poopy stick in the eye, but it's gonna have to happen, I suppose.

I'll keep everything I got from the neck up, but I'm kinda worried about borrowing anything you've been using.

I got radar equipment installed in my back last year, and now they wanna stick some kind of pump in my gut that squirts stuff in my spinal cord through a tube.
I'm thinking it'd be just easier to kill a hooker and have my brain transplanted, but that's all socially frowned upon and stuff.

Absolutely. I gotta get to Sarasota first so I can go see Eff and go fishing and see the Pirates at spring camp. I love that stuff.

My kids love Siesta Key. I can abandon them there for days and they'll never know I'm gone.
