Bucket list

[burnt]

Pan for gold (farming didn't give many nuggets)

Build a log house

Add a stone room to the log house

See at least one grandchild get married

See at least one great-grandchild born

Return to my roots in Switzerland

Part II may come later. Didn't want to turn this political.

Living the dream now.

Farm when no snow.

Ride sleds almost every day in winter.

Having the girls and their men take part in farming which results in mega fun..
Trying to be positive even in the worst situations.

Life is a blast..enjoy the ride..

This covid shit is just a bump in the road of life.
Don't let it stress you into death..

Enjoy my time on earth.

Every day is a adventure.

Drive 100 plus miles out of your way if something interests you.

Get to see where my grandfathers came from.

Meet more interesting people.

we did that when driving the service vehicles we had in the arctic , driving 12 hrs south to coleville lake when we were drilling a couple holes there
i had a couple guys that worked for me with me
told them i wanted to swing into coleville lake on the way by and see Bern Will Brown's museum . it was 70 miles out of the way and they all freaked out , just wanted to see city lights , anyway we did it and they were amazed ! what an opportunity , they thanked me for years after. we sat and had coffee with this amazing man and his wife who autographed the book and painting i bought. he died a few years later at 94
anyone who has not heard of this priest/trapper/pilot/adventurer/artist/etc. should read his book (one is "arctic journal") . an absolutely amazing young man from new york who became a priest to help him see the canadian arctic
the old saying "you might never be here again" is certainly true, thats what i told my travelling companions

Google caf SoCal P51

They had one at Camarillo that they gave rides in but may have missed the flyte on that one.
I think it was $1500 if I remember right.
Great little place to visit.
They also have a Bearcat and a few other great old planes.
