Subsim Bucket List

[Red October1984]

So...let's hear it. :salute:

What are the things you want to do before you " :dead: "?

I've got a few. This isn't the full list. There are many more that I can't remember off the top of my head. I haven't ever put this to writing. Obviously, some of these things have better chances of happening than others. I doubt I'll actually get those autographs...but hey...it might happen.

Here's what I've assembled of mine. I'd like to see what you guys want to do before you die. :)


Skydive
Visit Chernobyl
Get my Pilot's License
Teach my future kids baseball
Get an autograph from Eric Church
Get an autograph from Liam Neeson
Visit Europe
Visit other Russian cities
Become successful at whatever career I choose
Visit at least 5 museum ships/submarines

[Cybermat47]

Ok I'll bite :hmmm:


Go out on a date
Undertake at least one patrol on a submarine
Visit U-995
Develop a video game
Get cast as the Doctor

[HundertzehnGustav]

nothing.
i have seen all the upsides of life, and having fun will not advance my knowledge.
and even if it did, and i would become a wise man, i would still die and humanity would still be stupid.

so... nothing.
what my experience lacks iws sickness and pain, being poor and fear of death.

guess i am ready to.. "kick it".

[Wolferz]

Already done everything. Bucket list is in the bucket.

[Platapus]

I am either very content or very shallow, but in my 50s, I don't really have a bucket list.

I have had a great life, full of strife and joy. I have done wonderful things and experienced terrible things. I fully expect to do more wonderful things and will probably experience more terrible things.

But I don't have any specific items in a bucket list. Maybe I should. I just plan on living and trying to do goodly things in my small way.

I do know that there were some things that I wanted to do when I was younger that just don't seem as important any more.

[Jimbuna]

Done pretty much everything I've wanted as I've gone through life.

I can only think of two:

1) Hopefully be visiting Alaska this year.
2) Meet Neal and some other great friends again at some future SubSim Meet.

[mookiemookie]

See Norway
See Germany
See Italy
See Bora Bora
Make $100,000 a year
Plant a garden
Learn to golf

That's it for now. Some are easy, some are near-term, and some are longer term goals.

[GT182]

Win a Lottery and help keep SubSim going even longer.

Repaint the GTO back to it's original color.

Visit Australia and New Zealand.

Find a metorite from Mars.

All of which will probably never happen. But it's nice to dream. ;)

[Red October1984]

One of the main points of this thread...

Everyone has dreams... :yeah: I'd sure as heck love to be the Captain of a WW2 American Fleet Boat...

That won't happen though... :oops: :D

[Oberon]

Not likely to happen...but...

Do a paradrop from a C-47
Travel the world - visiting, Egypt, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, America, Japan, Australia and Kenya.
Walk on the surface of Mars or at the very least witness someone do it
Fly, not as a pilot or if I do then make it the last item on the list... :O:

[nikimcbee]

@Mookie
I mis-read yours, I thought it said "visit Tora Bora.":o


My list would be:
See a White shark in the wild.
Ride on a submarine
Have a pint with Jim and others:D

Come see the PT boat.:cool:

[Red October1984]

Come see the PT boat.:cool:

Aren't you in Oregon or something? :hmmm: That's a bit of a distance for me.

Maybe sometime...If i'm ever up that way.... :woot:

[mookiemookie]

@Mookie

:rotfl2: Note to any government agents reading this: I am NOT looking to visit Tora Bora or the Taliban. Thank you!

[Cybermat47]

See a White shark in the wild.


:shifty:



Tiger sharks are better.

Your chances of achieving several on your list is adversely affected by achieving one on your list. :D

[Red October1984]

I think I know an Akula when I see one.... :-?

That is not an Akula that you posted. :hmmm: I don't know what that is. Looks like a messed up Typhoon

[Tchocky]

What we call the Typhoon was developed as Project 941, codenamed "Akula" by the Soviet Navy.

What we call the Akula was developed as Project 971, codenamed "Pike" by the Soviet Navy.


Simples :O:

So we're both right! :D

I'm a NATO man myself... :O:


Either way...these are cooler than biologic sharks. I'd rather see a Project 971 Akula "Pike" in it's natural habitat. :O:

[Jimbuna]

Have a pint with Jim and others:D

We will get to do that again Jason...you can be sure of that :cool:

[eddie]

I want to meet Dale Earnhardt Jr (always a big fan of his Dad)
I want to meet an Apollo astronaut who walked on the moon
Want to visit the UK when it isn't snowing or raining
Would love to meet Macca in the UK when it isn't raining
I want to drive a Ford Mk IV or GT40 Mk II

[Jimbuna]

That may not be possible :hmm2:

[eddie]

LOL

[nikimcbee]

So what's this rumo(u)r you're going to Alaska?:hmm2:

[Jimbuna]

So what's this rumo(u)r you're going to Alaska?:hmm2:

Young buna came home this morning (Aruba > Miami > Heathrow > Newcastle) he put the info he received from the Seattle office on a memory stick because it is in pdf format and of considerable size (he reckons).

His baggage went awol in transit at Miami but is being flown over as I type this and is expected some time tomorrow.

As far as he can remember the ship leaves Vancouver on 1st June which is the first day of the wife and my vacation/holiday (1st - 16th) so it may not be possible to join the ship in time.

He informs us he has got other ships schedules for the Caribbean and Asia areas on the pdf as well so we might get this so far elusive freebie yet.

Failing that we will go to Oludeniz in Turkey because that is one country we've yet to visit and the Blue Lagoon is one of the most beautiful sites we reckon.

[nikimcbee]

Whoa, if you somehow make it to Seattle?:hmmm: I'd drive up for that!:Kaleun_Cheers:

[The Enigma]

I've a small list:

Take part at a Sea Shepherd operation
Be at a private concert from my fav. band
Visit Canada one more time

[Jimbuna]

Whoa, if you somehow make it to Seattle?:hmmm: I'd drive up for that!:Kaleun_Cheers:
That is where his company head office is (Holland America Lines) but honestly Jason, it's beginning to look like his mam and I will be going on a cruise not so far away...it is physically impossible to get to Vancouver in one day I'm beginning to reckon.

[Red October1984]

I wish I was able to go to a Subsim Meet.

With my age, I probably wouldn't fit in though. Meeting you guys would be cool. I've read all about the other meets and it sounds like a lot of fun. :)

It just isn't possible for me to go to one.... :wah:

Not sure what age has got to do with it...how old are you?

[Red October1984]

American High School student. So between 15 and 19.

I won't give my specific age out online...but there's you a range. :up:

Well we had one youngish chap (19 year old iirc) attend Houston in 2008 but his father accompanied him admittedly.

Yeah I would have a parent along if I came...and all the meets are a bit of a distance away from me. :hmmm:

[Herr-Berbunch]

I'm sure there'll be a meet when you're older, until then you'll have to enjoy our company online instead.

A bucket list from me?

Visit New Zealand. Travel on the Rocky Mountaineer (so visit Canada then!). Get back into skydiving, and travel the world's dropzones, do a HALO jump. Go trekking in Oman's Dhofar region. Cycle LEJOGLE. Learn to fly. Attend a SS meet. Visit some great geographical features throughout the world.

There are many others, I think the first one needs to be with the lottery to facilitate the others. :-?

[Jimbuna]

You never know...one day.

[nikimcbee]

do a HALO jump

:hmmm:

If only profanity allowed. :hmph:

You can use s #$#@#$% series of #$#@%#^# symbols if you feel the need to just %#@4#@ swear! :up:

[Cybermat47]

Oh no, I %^£$*^£ hate swearers, the %£¥€%#@ little ^%>#¥.

[Red October1984]

Oh no, I %^£$*^£ hate swearers, the %£¥€%#@ little ^%>#¥.

Ah...well...life's a #@$#@*&^

Anyway, I've got another thing I want to do before I die. I want to participate in a weekend long paintball scenario game. Night time fighting and all! I want to do it! :woot:

[Tchocky]

Of all the Large Life Goals posted here, right now meeting a bunch of you fine people seems like the best way to spend a day.

Still sad I couldn't make the Onkel's trip to Duesseldorf. Ah well.

Where do you live?

And I read that at one point that there was even a Subsim Paintball War. THAT would be fun. I'd have loved to be a part of that. :arrgh!:

Hopefully there'll be one this year or next year but I think it will be stateside...much depends on Neal and his free time.
