Smile Whats On Your Bucket List?

Did a search and did not see where this had been done on hear yet - here is mine;

1 Get in the best shape of my life
2 Perform live with some kick *** musicians and a Van Halen style sound system
3 Go to a drag racing school and drive the fastest car possible
4 Go for a ride in any jet that starts with "F" (let me know if anyone knows how you can do this)
5 Sponsor a car show (might happen with #2)
6 Go to Alaska (hopefully run into Sarah)
7 Go to Hawaii
8 Be a Grandfather
9 Forgive every person that has ever wronged me
10 Help as many people I can accomplish their dreams in life

Okay, who's next?

My dream is to go on a pilgrimage to the Bigfoot trap in Oregon that 2blu442 posted.
Are you going to help me accomplish it.

"F" designated military jet ride???
That's easy.
Either join the Air Force, Navy or Marines and become a fighter pilot or second seat guy, become a politician, or get a job as a fluff reporter for any newspaper or local TV or radio station in a city with the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds appearing in the airshow.
Basically a press-pass from any media outlet that promotes the show in their reports.
I see idiots I went to school with getting rides in fighter jets on TV.
I want to puke in the funny bag!!!

I was thinking of starting a local events newsletter or something that would give me the credentials for a press-pass then naming myself special events field reporter and submitting a request for a ride next time they're here.
I bet if you did it right it would work, no kidding.

My bucket list

My list calls for at least two with 5 gallon capacities, lids, and preferably handles...
The last one I had was so old, it broke in half when I filled it with water.
