July - What to put in the bucket list

July will be a tough month to achieve any really big bucket list events - the reason being is that I am working 12 hour days for nearly every day of the month, including weekends on a remote mine site. Also, when I have got weekends off, one of them will be spent running 96k as part of an ultra marathon event (Kokoda Challenge - next weekend) and my wife turns 40 the weekend after, so that will be a big night (I have not drunk much alcohol this year, as I have been training for these crazy events (see my other blog, if exercise and exhilaration is of interest). It will be all guns blazing when Julie turns 40 - look out, we will be painting the town all shades of colours, I would expect.

Anyway, onto July, and what can be done at night time, for example, and maybe in front of a computer. One thing I heard about recently was on line museums. Apparently, you can visit them,like you visit other museums. It is not a tough one, and should not take too long, but that will be the July challenge.

Actually, seeing it is so small, there needs to be another challenge for July. Got it! The one thing that I am getting into lately is Bear Grylls and Man vs Wild - how great is that show. Bring it on. I love Bear in some sort of very platonic man crush way, but there must be thousands of Bear Grylls out there that have that special forces background, and are just bad arses. I am going to find one, and interview them about their experiences. What an idea. I will post the interview here, or on my site (might even video record it). Can't wait. Yee Hah.

Stay tuned. It will be a great interview. Check out www.antonguinea.com.au for more motivational stuff.

Anyway, until next time, keep ticking things off your bucket list.

June Done

Well, the June challenge - to sell something on EBay, has been completed. Yee Hah. That is the first time that I have done that, and it is so easy to do. It is really quite painless, and something that I will do more of in the future. Again, what a great outcome of doing these 101 things each month, and of course, over the course of this year.

We got $16.50 for my wife's bike helmet, which she doesn't use anymore. Amazing, How many more of these things could we sell. Who knows.

I highly recommend it to everyone - look around your home for stuff that you can sell, it is all money sitting there ready to be auctioned. It really is only a 5 minute job, once you have an EBay log in, a PayPal account and the photos of the product. Go you good thing.

So, what will July be, I wonder. What should this month's challenge be? Not sure, as yet.
