Things To Do Before You DIE...

[Dienekes]

Have done most, with the common exception of the stripper.

See your children born;
Raise them to adulthood and know they are doing better than you did;
To 'stand in the breach' for what is right, at personal risk;
To be able to say 'no' when everyone else is saying 'yes';
To help a kid or an older person when they think no one cares anymore;
To grow in faith and practice it. (The work of a lifetime.)

As pointed out, gun are fascinating tools and diversions--but only a minor part of life.

Short list....

I had a 240Z and hit 125 a couple times. I've been as far east as East Berlin and as far west as Singapore. But there are some things to do still.
This list is not all inclusive.
* See my kids in an independent, happy life. (Half-way there.)
* Shoot in the Olympics. Probably Rapid-Fire.
* Retire from this spirit sucking job, and live long enough to get my revenge on the "company".
* Live out our lives together with the wonderful bride I have.
* Write a decent mystery novel.
* Become as loved as Elmer Keith, among those who share my passion.
* Get my church's attendence over 100 adults on a Sunday morning. Then preach good enough that none of them drift off to sleep.
* Die on my feet.
* Live my life so that when I stand attention in front of my Lord, He says, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." (I'll settle for "Okay, Arch, you too.)

"Die on my feet." ... I should be so lucky. SteyrAUG, I've completed that neat list with the following exception: I convinced my boss to see things my way. I'd known him for many years. He knew I'd tell him off in a second. So, I didn't have too.

Tam, I have a thought ... nah, you already thought of that one.

Of the original list, done 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13. As to the rest:

3. Working on it. Just not actively.
4. Do Canada & Mexico count?
7. Lucliky, my bosses haven't been too bad. Current one doesn't meddle too much.
8. Have a 2-year old nephew to work on. I've already given him a crash course in the AR-15 manual of arms (he was more interested in an allen wrench).
12. Not yet.

Been in several earthquakes. Almost fun, but mostly humbling when you think about what's really happening.

My list:

First, win the lotto. Then,

1. See the great pyramids
2. See the Dead Sea
3. See the pyramids of Mexico and Central America
4. See the battlefields of Europe/Normandy
5. See a concentration camp
6. See the Australian outback - Ayers Rock and Coober Pedy
7. African safari(s)
8. Build an airplane - a Van's Aircraft RV-8 to be specific
9. See Bigfoot, a ghost, a UFO, and/or the Loch Ness Monster

Skunkabilly:

Be the first Chinaperson to pray at the Grand Ole Opry.

If I were a Chinaperson at the Grande Ole Opry, I'd be praying, too.

You were going great until the stripper thing. Other than that I've done all of them already.

You should read 3 great books.

You should learn an art form. You don't have to be a master, but you should do it well enough to give yourself and others pleasure.

You should make the someone's last days easier.

You should spend 3 days in the woods/at the shore/on the water/etc. by yourself, without any modern conveniences.

You should make sure that you tell everyone that you love that you love them.
