The two big items on my bucket list that I completed were taking a day trip on the county's oldest running wood fired steam locomotive in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Here is a video of the trip (recorded by someone else)

Second item: Earlier this year I took a flight in one of the two flyable WW2 B-29 bombers. Sat up front where all the action was. Here are 3 phone videos I took (sorry about my lack of video skills). This is by far the neatest thing I have ever done! Fifi is the bomber's name if you wish to look her up. The Commemorative Air Force takes the plane on tour periodically.

My remaining big ticket item is to get a sport pilot's license. I am trying to convince DW this is a sane thing to do to keep me busy in retirement.
