Yoop, I'm laughing, one of the things I left off my list, which you reminded me of, is to stand on a corner in Winslow Arizona. Next to that statue. I take it you're a big Eagles fan, as I am. I've seen them twice in the last three years, at Madison Square Garden, they are always uplifting to me, for some reason.

I also have to add to my list, Branson, Missouri , after getting educated by Miki, AKA ARangel.

Frank and I did the biggest thing that was on our bucket list...23 days in New Zealand this past February!
He completed two cycles of docetaxel, then we jumped on a plane and landed in Tahiti and worked our way south until we got to Melbourne, Australia. Spectacular is an understatement! Two days after we got back, he started back on the docetaxel and now completed all 6 cycles. Next up is the Eagles in May, our son's PhD hooding ceremony in June and Alaska for 12 days in July. We're trying to take big bites out of life right now and doing a pretty good job. We'll celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary end of July at a little lodge outside Whistler, BC for the fishing. I only wish I could shrink both our 100 pound Akitas and take them with us in my purse.
On a more mundane level, I'd like to get a load of laundry started and out of the dryer on the same day...wishful thinking lately though.

This is a great thread...

A few quick ones:

Visit as many of the US National Parks as possible, especially Rainier and Acadia.

See the Stones and Elton John in concert.

Visit Australia, New Zealand and see the tulip festival in Holland.

Retire and move to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and sail our sailboat all over the Chesapeake Bay.

Sue: Acadia is amazing. Make sure you eat at The Jordan Pond House (popovers).

Thinking of music related things to do....

Stand on a corner in Winslow Arizona.
Kick down the cobblestones on the E 59th Street Bridge
Take a crosstown bus to the Central Park Zoo
Ride a Greyhound bus on Highway 41
Ride a gypsy cab in NY

BTW: NYNY is not as difficult a place to visit as you might think. Take plenty of money, and be prepared to do a LOT of walking.

Elk hunt anywhere.
Have that girl in the flat bed Ford, pick me up.
Climb Mt Howell in WY to visit where my uncles died a year ago.
Meet at least once, all my cousins.
Hunt javelina in AZ.
Go free diving in warm, crystal clear waters(no not the pool) tongue

But number one is: spend a lot of time with my 5 grandsons. turn

My bucket list:
1 gallon bucket for the shop
A new mop bucket - the kind on wheels with the really good squeezy thing.
5 gallon bucket with lid for the shower to collect the water while the water heats up ('cause 'o the drought here in CA)
5 gallon bucket from the big box store with that tool pouch you can hang around the edge. The contractor who worked on my house had one and I thought it was so cool.
30 gallon to be part of the grey water recycling system I am building ('cause 'o the drought here in CA)

Well, I guess at 30 gallons that would be a tank or maybe 6, 5 gallon buckets.

I am sure there are some other exciting buckets I could get - I'll do some web searches and let you know,
Andrew

Funny. Roger Ebert was going through chemo when he reviewed that movie and he hated it. He said a good day for him was a good bowel movement. He was taking it too seriously. Just entertainment. Not real life. As for me:
Travel to Europe especially the Autobahn and Nurburgring in Germany
Drive across the USA

In the shop,

Andrew,
You cracked me up! Thanks for the humor this morning!

Just back from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore for a month. Trying to justify spending big $ for south/central Africa.

Andrew, the 5 gallon bucket tool bag is great. Make sure you get the cushion that fits the 5 gallon bucket...turns the bucket into a dandy stool without turning it over.

You can probably get it from Grainger.com They have pretty much everything for the professional shop.

You can also buy a toilet seat for your "Homer Bucket"!

Gary and I have been so fortunate to have been able to experience many of the adventures on our list. When he was firstd dx'ed the medonc told us he would worry about the CA and we should worry about living. So we did the AK cruise with 13 family members and then the Caribbean. When we got home we all created a top 10 list of best and worst, then e-mailed them to one another!
We live in NO cal and used to live in CO. Great trout fishing. I highly recommend. We also did a trip to Costa Rica years back...
If you are planning any of these and want some recommendations where to go or stay, email me, it's open in my profile. Have fun and celebrate life!
