I'm working on getting every transportation license available. I'm starting with motorcycles. I'll do the Motorcycle Safety Foundation test this weekend (after 20 hours of training, my first ever time on a motorcycle) and, if I pass, I'll take that to the state in exchange for an updated license.

Next up is Boat Captain, then helicopter and pilot's licenses, which will take significantly more time. Boating licenses are something like 10 days, 30 hours, I suppose it varies but I want to get the highest level license I can.

I was also made aware last night of a marksmanship class you can achieve in double-barreled shotgunning. Sounds interesting. Would definitely like to do the Civilian Marksmanship Program and achieve whatever certificates are associated with that.

There's a lot to do out there. Find something practical that may apply to your life or something you never thought you'd end up doing (which is more what I'm after).
