    Bucket list

    What's on yours?

    This is definitely on mine:

    Gold please. Thank you.

    Other things on my bucket list:

    1. Finish writing a full-length adult book and get it published.
    2. Travel all of Europe.
    3. Visit Thailand again.
    4. Build a completely self-sufficient, solar and wind powered, wood-heated cob house and live my final days out in it.

    I have writing a book as one of my bucket list items, a techno-thriller is my plan :)
    My wife and I want to go to Australia then our traveling days will be over.
    Finally, I want to move to North Carolina (Albemarle Sound waterfront home) to spend my days fishing.

    1. Visit Italy and drive a classic Ferrari around il Autodromo Nazionale Monza
    2. Put a decent antenna with some actual gain up on a tower and work the Indian subcontinent
    3. Get the heck outta southern California before I die
    4. F*ck the hell outta Zooey Deschanel. Yeah, I know, she's younger than my stepdaughter but what the hell--this is just a bucket list.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    1) Drive the entire length of Interstate 90 out to Seattle, then "take a right" onto the Alcan highway and go clear into Anchorage. I did the entire length of I-10 (L.A. to Jacksonville) in 52 1/2 hrs, driving a '68 Ford Torino GT. This trip, I'll take my time...

    2) Build another airplane, and fly on every nice summer weekend...

    3) Obtain enough country property, with a Victorian style farm house, to accomodate a 1/4 wave Blaw-Knox diamond tower replica for 160 meters (painted and lit, of course)... Also big enough for a 1000' grass runway for the plane.

    4) Do a frame off, ground up restoration on my '66 Pontiac LeMans converdible and my '80 Olds Tornado ( my Grandfathers Oldsmibile )... See #1

    5) Live out my last days in peace, with peace of mind, enjoying my Grand children.

    6) Work Western Australia, and to ice the cake... Antarctica...

    7) ...And if all that happens, why, I think I'd look quite good cruising the Autobahn in Germany... In the "Baby Goat"!!

    A year or three without having to go to work.

    Yeah, I'm easy.

    Unless the economy improves, you may get your wish, but I hope not. It happened to me, and was not pleasant...
