The Quest Continues

The never ending bucket list is truly never ending. The more things I tick off the more I add on. I was in Lowe's recently and noticed 4 motorized shopping carts at the front entrance and thought - now's my chance, I've always wanted to test drive one of those, there are 4 there so I won't deprive any other shoppers that might need one so I hopped on and zoomed (well you can't really zoom) around the store. You know who your true friends are when they actually acknowledge that you're with them instead of pretending you're not when you're doing donuts around the store. Thanks Marg, Jim and Lois!!!

This Ain't No Bull

One evening we wandered down to Old Town, Kissimmee. A quaint area of shops and carnival rides as well as live entertainment. We strolled by a mechanical bull booth which was practically deserted. I overheard the man in charge giving a young lady a discount ($7 instead of $10) so I asked jokingly if he'd give me a discount too - $5! Well, for that price how could I say no? This is a photo clipped from the video. In case you're wondering - I did not fall off.

Universal Craziness

I have avoided roller coasters for over 30 years, ever since my terrifying ride on Space Mountain at Disney. May be hard to believe but I rode these things - not once but twice each. The first one is Dueling Dragons, there are 2 different coasters in one so we had to ride each one - twice!!! Three times you come to within 18 inches of the other coaster. I lost a bet and payment was riding one coaster, don't quite know how I ended up riding all of them twice. The Simpsons ride is also a roller coaster in virtual reality and was just as scary as the real ones!! (rode it twice too). I seem to have become an adrenaline junky.

The Beach - Florida

Finally made it to a beach, but the water is much too cold for swimming.
