BTDT.  Too busy, hard to concentrate.  Overrated 

Highly recommended, would attempt again.

 Not sure why, but this thread made me think of this dude. 

EDIT: Doh. Just read page two and see I am behind the times. 

In reply to T.J. :

Go back to page one.

Visit Ireland. I'm still young so there's not alot I want to say I can't do at this point but the fact that I refuse to get on airplane ends this one.

What beef ya got with airplanes?

There are cruises to Ireland. 

Fear of heights and control issues. After my last flight never again, I don't even like riding in a car I'm not driving.

Build a boat

Built and airplane

Build a bridge (I might actually do this one.  I've got a drainage issue in my yard and when I'm done playing with a mini-ex to fix it there will be some bridgeable terrain back there)

I want to win the lottery. 

Winning the lottery means I’d have to spend a dollar to buy a ticket. Since the odds of winning the lottery are something like 319 million to 1 I’m convinced my odds are just as good of winning weather  I buy the ticket or not, I’ll choose not to buy it.

Don't worry, we've never left anyone up there yet.

I used to get frustrated when waiting in line at the Quickie Mart while someone bought lottery tickets…now I just think, look at that poor fella getting charged a fine for being bad at math.

If we made speeding tickets all sparkly and glittery, would people go out of their way to get those too?

Ride something like this to orbit.

(not a manned launch, but...)

• Be the first man to walk on Mars
• Build a locost from scratch
• Drive a Lamborghini Countach

Race a Dakar truck. I have no delusions that I have a chance to win, I would be content with a second hand Hino carrying spare parts.

Learn aerobatics.

Those that can't  fly want to fly. Those of us who fly, want to do it upside-down.

You two must be fun at parties. 

Visit Scotland play golf drink scotch and learn the language.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Um. That guy just recently in the PNW? 

Walk on the surface of another planet.

Nerdy i know but still.....

The crazy hot 25 year-old at work that always wears yoga pants (and wiggles her taut tush) when we are teamed up together at work.

Hike the AT. 

Rt 20 coast to coast.

That's not flying, that's crashing. Anyone can do that.

Fire a gatling gun.

Fly in a P-51.

I always wanted to be "successful" in a career way. Not necessarily making the big bucks, but making my way in a job that I could be proud of. I haven't worked for 16 years now and I'm unlikely to in the future. Unless something goes hugely pear shaped, the money/time balance doesn't make sense compared to me continuing to take care of kids/house/wife. 

I feel like I have significant success in non-conventional ways, but I'm never going achieve a lot of the things that I thought were important in my teens and early 20's.

That's not hard to do.

I thought of one that is probably more realistic than retirement, sex in space.

In reply to EastCoastMojo :

That would be terribly confusing. How do you know who is on top?
