    #83...haha! Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on this list so far BB. And those squirrels are little pests. They chewed wires in my truck so that it wouldn't start. The little buggers. I think it was in protest because I hadn't filled their feeder in a while.

      We are also feeding a chipmunk, which is pretty darn cute. This is getting rather expensive though.

    If you come visit me you could knock off #11 and I promise I could make you a tofu dish you'd say delish to, knocking off #27 as well. While here, you could easily do #65 (ours is world famous) and get #69 done. Ha, we just did #77 at the tailgate!

      I have not done a shot in close to 30 years. Was going to do in vegas but I couldn't think of anything but Sex on the Beach or Panty Dropper. Funny, I thought I should do an "adult" shot but got scared of just whiskey or tequila.

      Lordy, I did a Pickleback at home last week, a shot of pickle juice out the jar followed by a shot of bourbon, eek, they cost a small fortune in London just now, my quote was " so glad I never paid for that"

    On the catch up, ok I am a cynical bugger, I just think, if I wanted to be doing it, I'd be doing it.

    They let just about everyone in. I will not do the pickle shot...quite impressed that you did. I guess the list helps with any procrastination and a bit of dreaming.
