About the only things I’d really like to do would be a long steady road trip from Vancouver down the Pacific Coast Highway, exploring along the way, then back across the US, roughly following Route 66, in time t catch the best Fall colours up the east coast.
The other is to visit Japan.
Sadly, lack of funds and my age mean I’m unlikely to achieve either. 😕
Ooh yes, that's one for my "not yet done" list .... ski some powder in Japan
And do the puffer.

Kayak down a big scenic but easy river. Central Europe all mod cons

Climb a mountain
See a rocket take off
Complete a panini football sticker album

Fly to Nice with a bike and come back the long way across as many mountains as possible.

Done a fantastic month in campervan in NZ and a road trip of BC including a great canoe trip and biking etc.
Step off the hamster wheel,
Concentrate on looking after the love of my life (GF, not bikes).
Take time doing what I want, when I want.
Visit friends, family, places for as long as I want.
Remind myself of the person I once was before I "grew up" and started worrying about "life".
Take my nephew and friend's kids to a bike park.
Spend time using my skills/time to help others (I'm very fortunate, many others are not).
Eat vegetables that I've grown.
Smoke my own home grown.
Be content.
Very fortunate compared to many of my friends in as much as I don't have any obligations to speak of, I've got some cash saved, I don't *need* to work my arse off (despite doing so, but more because I don't want to leave my mates hanging), I have everything I need and most things I want. Both the GF and I are likely to inherit enough that we'll never be able to spend it on ourselves unless we either develop major drug habits or decide to become some egoistic ****s.
See the green flash
Ooooh! I saw it! In Lanzarote and no other bugger was looking. It was awesome!
Be with the woman I truly want to be with – and it’s not my wife (long story that involves me being shat on from a great height).
You do you.
Oh, and get a dog.... Jack russel, I think. I'll call it Jack, or Jackie, just for kicks.
A solid poo 💩💩
I had a whole load of plans that got a bit buggered up!
However there are still things I want to do and some of this is being actively planned right now
Cycle on the frozen Yukon river
Climb a 20 000ft mountain
Ride my bike to the med and back via as many STWers I can find
Scatter a few odd sized bolts on Molgrips drive under his car 🙂
Funny you should say that.
Removed fuel pump and filter assembly on the mighty V70 trying to locate a WOT misfire
On dropping the car off the jack there was a bolt lying on the floor. Had been there for a while, but looked suspiciuosly like a brake caliper mounting bolt , flanged 10mm .
small panic then ensued with grabbing variuos car parts that should be solidly mounted checking for play.- none found, so did a gallic shrug and put the jack away
