Meet an adult Whale Shark.
Highly recommend it, stunning creatures and a fabulous experience.




Last three were on Sunday, very late in the season and both were younger fish.

I do have an addendum that I had completely forgot / suppressed until I started Youtubing 'EverQuest Project 1999": I would like to build my own Pc again with the intention of starting an Enchanter on EverQuest Project 1999 to achieve:
1. Level 50
2. Enchanter Epic
3. Nagafen and Vox raids
4 All Planar raids and content inc. Plane of Sky

When I played back in the day my Enchanter was level 24 due to a couple of alts. I have always missed classic (pre-SoL EQ) and still have an itch that I would like to scratch.

If I did succumb to this itch, I would kiss goodbye to all of my other bucket list items. I think my fiancée would also kiss me goodbye. The odd xBox 360 RPG she tolerates - EverQuest? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

13 years later and I still miss EverQuest.

Ok. That was possibly the most nerdiest bucket item posted.

Nerdy doesn't even come close to describing that. A bit of me died reading that.

Here's mine, though most of the stuff seem pretty much unobtainable at this point in life:

1. Drive an Alfa Romeo 8C.
2. Own a 996 GT3.
3. Visit Japan.
4. Live and work in the US for a few years.
5. Do a road trip going through Florence, Lake Como, Monaco, San Trope, Le Mans, Nurburgring and maybe Stelvio Pass (haven't done the logistics exactly in this one!).
6. Start my own business.

1. Own a fully functioning Series 2 Lotus 7.

(My horizons have shrunk as I've got older.)
It turned out there were more than I thought:

2. Sail from Southampton to New York in a liner.
3. Visit New York.
4. See the Indy 500.
5. Drive Route 66.

One or two Non-US entries to follow when I remember them.

Having never seen a Space Shuttle launch, I would love to witness the first launch of the even more spectacular SLS in 2018 (if it goes ahead).

I've been to see the shuttle get launched and an Atlas rocket too, it was brilliant!

Don't really have a bucket list as such, but I would love to complete a full-course in Stonemasonry - I'm 30 now and don't think I can let it wait much longer.

Lots of stuff, but as an old(er) Dad I'd trade them all to survive long enough to become a Grandfather. Sentimental old sod, eh?

The shock wave was surreal smile

Mine are probably rather tame but whatever!

This year I hope to do 200mph in the car I built (which was another).
Drive across America and down the West Coast.
Australia would be good too. Actually, travel a bit more.
I have produced 3 great children and it would be nice to see them do similar.
One thing on my bucket list is - not to live too long.... I don't want to end it laying in a bed all day, just alive. What life is that.

I've never had a bucket list as such but i've managed to visit Davis Monthan AFB which I would say is one of the wonders of the modern age.
