Stuff you'll probably never do again ?

Getting a little long in the tooth I got to pondering on things I've done and used to enjoy that I'll more than likely never get to do again, like;

1. Go back overseas......it would take ten Green Bay Packer linebackers carrying ball bats to get me on a plane again.

2. Jump out of a perfectly good plane......just for giggles I drove to Tulsa and made one jump a few years back, it was fun but it's one of them 'been there done that' things.

3. Get in another barroom brawl or be a bouncer again.....I don't frequent the honky-tonks and pool halls anymore and at my age I doubt I'd be all that much of a threat to anyone. Now that I think about it I never was all that fond of getting my butt kicked anyway.

4. Go skinny dipping with a couple of Thai gals in the rooftop pool of a hotel in Bangkok again.....no matter how much I whined and begged I very seriously doubt that my current wife of 41 years would understand my desire to do it again just one more time.

5. Put enough miles in a day on a motorcycle that it made my butt numb.....I sold my second Honda Gold Wing a few years ago and I've already been told by mama....."forget it big boy, you ain't gonna get another motorcycle".
 

On the definitely never again list

Jump out of an airplane

Hitchhiking across country
Feeling the pinch of handcuffs and the warm vibration of a police cruisers hood on my cheek
Drinking my self into a stupor
Having wild uninhibited sex with a hot girl I hardly know
Standing on the infamous yellow footprints at Parris Island
 

My days of ice skating and roller skating are over. I LOVED doing them ,but now I can't risk a fall. I'm also a craft a holic ...I'm constantly making things , but I just don't have the ambition or stamina to do craft fairs anymore . :( Those days are long gone ,sadly.
 
The roof of my house has a very steep side and a flatter side.

I'd *like* to say I'll never get up on the flat side again, but I'm itching to do it just one more time to fix something it would take weeks of waiting on someone I hired to come and fix. I can confidently say I'll never get up on the steep side again. Tried it once. That was enough.

Other than that I can't think of anything, because I never did do much exciting or dangerous to begin with. :p
 
Like Toomuchstuff, I loved roller skating and ice skating. My knees won't cooperate. Horseback riding as well. Can't get on the horse without a ladder. Staying out to the wee hours of the morning. I'm in bed by 10pm. Eating pizza and any other junk food late at night and sleeping like a baby afterwards.
 
Never belly dance in a club to help pay for university. No more swimming the mile from my home beach. No sailing in rough weather, not strong enough to crew under such circumstances. No dancing all night.
 
Shovel snow in a 700 foot driveway,fill 2-face cord firewood racks in 2 hours,sit out in the August sun running the splitter,live in NYC,drive straight from Binghamton NY to Charleston SC without stopping except for gas,have a baby,have gallbladder surgery:) bury a spouse,put a dog to sleep.snowboarding,drinking sangria on a beach at 8 a.m. and last but not !east,golf!
 
Never, ever get married again but I would like a companion to do things with. No more babies or roller coasters or cooking huge meals at holidays with me doing everything.
 
I don't get the 'get on a plane' replies.
Commercial flying is a bit of walking and then sitting in an easy chair that reclines. There's new friends to make all around you and even someone to bring you a drink and a snack. And you're only on the plane a few hours.
I'm one of the very few people that has 5,000 hours flying on Air Force electronics support plane. The average flight was 13 hrs, and some were over 20 hrs. And that doesn't include the time doing briefings and equipment checks before and after.
Commercial flights are a luxury. Even when you're stuck in an airport, you got heat or AC, TV, WiFi, food, booze and bathrooms with running water.

My stuff;
backpack camping, white water rafting or canoeing, re-roofing my house and wine, dine, dance n romance the socks off a lady.
 
Camping (would love to, don't think we'd be able to get up after a night of sleeping on the ground)
Anything with heights (have developed an extreme fear of heights)
See my parents
Have sex out in the open (yep, you read that one right!)
Get drunk
Smoke pot
Staying out late
Sitting in some old dive bar
 
Disco dancing till the wee hours

Sitting in some old dive bar like Debbie in Seattle and singing along with "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille" and drinking beer until the wee hours

Falling in love and getting that initial rush
 
Sew an entire wardrobe, Chase that mysterious looking guy, paint the interior of my house, change a tire, push mow the lawn, stand on my feet 8 hours, put out a brush fire, have babies, lose 40 lbs. LOL!
