I hear ya, Nick. The list is long and, some would think, bizarre. In February, if all goes well, I'll watch actual lava flowing up close. Check. Still have a bunch of fish to catch like Goldens, grayling, some Char, an Esocid, more cuttie subspecies (the Paiute and Greenback for sure), a bison, nice buck deer, and the like.

I have plans but the devil gets in the details. The trout, for example, would be taken in streams where they naturally reproduce. Perhaps it is my upbringing or warpedness but real trout (Macs being a big exception) don't live in lakes.... Guess I set sideboards but the planning is fun.

Yeah, the sand is draining out of the glass but my wife and I have been making a bunch of trips in our retirement that keep opening new options. And, our daughter, who we have followed to Costa Rica, Queensland, Tasmania ha been looking for work in Scotland, Finland, etc. Life is good!
