"Bucket List" is the challenge for Our Daily Challenge today. Its my birthday and honestly, having personally survived Covid since my last birthday, I feel my Bucket List is gratifyingly full. Of course I can always wish for more foreign travel. Oh India! My life has been blessed with riches of many kinds and I have long known it. The task now is to be mindfully thankful and kind. And when restless review memories and photos.
On our getaway to the sierra foothills, Angels Camp area, I had no idea where to look for birds. I did a google search and the one area that looked promising was the Calaveras Big Tree National Park that boasted many woodpeckers, one being the Pileated Woodpecker!...although uncommon.
The Pileated Woodpecker was at the top of my 'bucket list' for this year! As we were getting shots of the White-headed Woodpecker my best friend Marty said she saw something large land in the shade very near to us..boy were we both excited to see this amazing bird. It kept it's distance, flying around in the forest always landing in the shade and drumming from the top of a very high sequoia tree.
Not the best quality but I' so glad I finally got this one under my belt...that means there are more to come!!!...:)

These old kitty litter containers come in handy for gardening projects. Yeah, right...as if you were wondering about the bucket. 😉
..and a mind full of adventure.
Couldnt resist snapping this little cutie, her family were behind her watching from their towels.
I really like the idea of a bucket list. I say things like, "I want to do that before I die." but I don't have anything in writing. I want to ride around Greece on a scooter with my man. I want to kiss in the rain in France. I want to have unyielding patience with others and myself. I want to dance in the moonlight in a white nightgown with fireflies all about me. I want to be as gracful with myself as I am with others. I want to watch my girls get married. I want to love with no regrets. I want to write a cook book. I don't want to be afraid to dream about my tomorrows.
I think I will start on that one today.
I built something!
I wanted to build a 1990ies toy style Tweedy Pie to go with the Deuce and the Kookie Car I built last year, so Anton can play with it, but I ended up with Marty Hollmann’s T-Bucket instead.
I started with the windscreen bit, choosing the most obvious brick, the window, glass 1x4x3x, and as I tried different ways to attach it to something, I thought why not try to attach it to the element it actually connects to? So I snapped it into a 2x4x3 window frame, Built the backrest just like it’s built on the Kookie, and I had an instant 10 bricks T-roadster body.
Funny enough this window frame bit is the main reason for me not having built Tweedy Pie yet, as it was avaliable in purple only in two sets ten years ago, and I have yet to hunt it down. Until then my Tweedy Pie will remain blue. And yes, I could paint it, but I don’t have a purple paint that matches the LEGO purple good enough.
The rest of the build is very similar to the Kookie, that is similar to the 90ies LEGO Hot Rods. Obviously.
Again I put together a whole bunch of these bandits, just to try out different colors (mostly dictated by the colors that window comes in which is not many), or different solutions for this or that, including two versions of Marty Hollmann’s car, because it can either be built with pearl gold bits for the brass stuff, or cheat like I did and just spray paint it Wheelspray gold, almost perfectly mimicking LEGO’s original metallic finish. Throw in the short hair, a head with a smirk, and the body of that Bavarian dude from Collectible Minifigs series 8(?), and you have Hollman as he appeared with his car on March 1962 issue of Hot Rod magazine, Lederhosen and all.
Sadly, these are not as tough as I’d like them to be. I insisted on using the little LEGO steering wheel, and this would hit the glass, so it needed to be mounted as low as possible, and that required a kickup in the frame, and that means that the front and rear of these cars are connected by two studs only right under the cowl. If not for the steering wheel, the chassis could be much stronger… And thinner.
A champagne bucket that was a wedding present that has never had champagne cooled in it. I thought it was time to do something with it.

By the time I arrived in east London after a journey thwarted by a problem on the Central line, Roxy had brought the peg bucket indoors and was busy playing. After throwing all the pegs around, I suggested she might like to pick them up and put them in the bucket again. . .
My wife and I hiked to the top of this bad boy today...with our three kids!
Here are the stats:
- 2.5 miles up, 2.5 miles down
- ~2,000ft up, 2,000ft down
- 1 hr 50 min up
- 1 hr 6 min down
- Pushed a double wide jogging stroller up the entire way up
- Restrained a double wide jogging stroller from rolling off a cliff the entire way down!
- 3 kids 6 and under
- 50 mph winds on top
- I think that it!
Did I mention that hiking to the top of this has been on my bucket list? Haha : )
While cleaning out one of my parent's ponds last weekend, we had to catch and keep the wildlife in buckets while we got all the water out. A few of the four legged animals we found kept making bids for freedom from their bucket (the fish had their own) back to the pond. I caught this little guy plotting his escape route from the bucket rim!
