After finally riding a Jet Ski in 2009, it occurred to me that this was just another thing I have done in my life to add to my total experience of the last six decades.
So, I sat down and listed all the things I've done. This is much more personal than those surveys that go around forum boards and it might be fun for others to do an "I Have" list. Some may have done more in 20 years than I have in 60.
Anyhow,
