General / Off-Topic 50 Before 50

Alien

So ... I've had an idea. It's not a small idea. It's one of those life challenging ideas. I am 43 now, and rapidly approaching the big five oh. I have decided to try to complete 50 challenges before I am 50. I am going to refer to this as "50 Before 50"

I am asking you, my friends, to suggest challenges for me to complete before my 50th birthday on 26th October 2022.

There are some rules for your suggestions ...
1. Don't suggest anything too easy, no "get out of bed"
2. Don't suggest anything too hard, no "world domination"
3. Keep suggestions realistic and do-able
4. Don't be sarcastic or silly or mickey-taking, I am serious about this.
5. I reserve the right to pick and choose which challenges to attempt.
6. I may record this in some form on social media, either as posts on Facebook, a blog, or even Youtube videos.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Climb the highest mountain in your country/state. (or the highest possible without a professional equipment)
Learn to play an instrument of your choice.
Carve/paint something you'd be really proud of
Visit the museums of four biggest cities in your country in four days. On a bike.

If you don't travel much, go see another country. If you don't have a passport getting one could also be an accomplishment but may be a little small to count.
Repeat, with each country being an achievement.
Open a small business.
Save up for a (new?) vehicle.
Renovate a part of your house. (Build a deck, build a fence, landscape your yard)
Give up a vice, if you have any.
Get buff. If you're fit get fitter.
Learn a musical instrument.
Join an amateur sport group.
Have a wine and cheese party with beer and pretzels.
...
Hope these are along the ideas of what you're talking about.

Unless they've changed the rules, you don't need a motorbike licence to ride a 50cc Moped. The easiest way to check would be to get our your licence and see what you're licensed to ride.

I could do it myself I guess, but my keyboard is closer to me than my driving licence.

Well there are 50cc mopeds, 50cc scooters, and 50cc bikes ;)

I kind of fancy picking up one of those Yamaha TZR50's - think it would make an excellent 2 mile commuter.

Of course, my 750 Suzuki would fall over laughing at it, but for people who only need to travel short distances and have no real need for "my bike is better than yours" nonsense - they seem pretty awesome :D

1. Hire two private investigators and get them to follow each other.
2. When in a crowded elevator say "I bet you are all wondering why I gathered you here today."
3. Do this during winter:

Not my ideas but they are amusing.
