Update number 5

So, I've managed to cross a few more things off my list and put a few more into progress.

Complete:

30 Plan a random weekend road trip
- Plans are in place for me and my partner to roadtrip to Jasper on July 23rd. Hotel is booked and I think we're good to go. I've never been to Jasper so it should be fun.

54 Use a film camera
- This is done and I have photos to prove it. My partner and I wandered our neighbourhood a couple weekends ago and I took the film camera along. Here's a few of the photos that were taken:



76 Have a try something new date
99 Fire a handgun
- These were completed together. As neither my partner nor I had ever shot a handgun before I suggested we go to the gun range and try it. He was game, hence our try something new date. We fired a 9mm and a 44 revolver (aka the Dirty Harry gun). Fantastic fun. Here's photos of the targets we shot at:

9mm

44 revolver


95 Buy a funky hat and find a reason to wear it
- Done. The reason was nothing major but I wore my bowler style hat to my last staff meeting at work as I was not organized enough to get my hair done before leaving the house. Not a great reason but it is a reason. Ha ha. Got lots of compliments on the hat so it all worked out.

In Progress:

28 Donate my time once a month for at least 6 months
- I am currently volunteering at the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival and will be volunteering at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in August.

31 Take the random weekend road trip
- Marked this as in progress as there are plans to go July 23rd. Looking forward to it.

62 Spend a night in an unfamiliar place
- This is marked as in progress in connection with the road trip. As I've never been to Jasper it'll be an unfamiliar place.

82 Save enough money for a down payment on a house
- Slowly building savings. Going to take some time to get to the down payment but got to start somewhere, right?
