When is the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time?

Doc4216 · Nov 15, 2012

Today I volunteered at an elementary school all day for the Great American Teach In. It was an awesome experience!

I recently had an interesting evening of firsts

1) I tried to kill a Rabbit for the first time
2) Saw my wife attempting to kill a rabbit with a shovel for the first time
3) Police came to my door for trying to kill a rabbit for the first time
4) Experienced a rabbit being shot with a beebee gun, hit over the head with a shove, wrapped up in a bag and thrown in the trash, survived the brutal attach, got out of the trash can and lastly get mutilated by a pack of coyotes for the very first time.

Stupid rabbits, felt really bad for this little guy though after all said and done.

learning to become "closer" to my food.

Sunday was the last time I did something for the first time.
I drove a side by side ATV.

http://youtu.be/7_b8VSeazak

We had a blast at Sand Mountain. The Can-Am Maverick is 101HP of pure fun.
Chris decided she didn't want to drive & didn't want to ride with me (she thought I might get a little crazy with it). She was going to go with the lady of the quad rider couple we met while waiting for our turn. Since the lady didn't hop in one in time she lost the driver seat to someone else. So the lady ended up riding with me & Chris rode with her husband. The tires were over inflated & I made the mistake of getting one of the two with accessories (this one had a soft top, stereo, GPS, mirror, extra lights on top & in front as well as skidplates). When I did the test fit of the tripod (on a base model) I had it setup to look over the roll cage. After I strapped it to the one I drove I realized it had lights on top so I lowered it and the rear view mirror was in the way.
I got it over 55MPH and would have gone faster if there wasn't someone in the way. Got it airborne a couple of times.
This thing is fast with plenty of power, handles great & is very comfortable.
Maybe when we are done remodeling the house we"ll get one.

How is Sand mtn ??? Is it kinda like Amargosa Dunes( Aka Big dune)???

Joe D · Nov 15, 2012

Cool thread but, somewhat of a disappointment for me because I can't remember the last time I did something for the first time. Of course, everyday is pretty much like my first day on a lot of things.

wildjerseyfirefighter · Nov 15, 2012

This thread is inspiring..Life has gotten so dull and boring lately..

My68ur8trd · Nov 15, 2012

1. Rode a snowmobile
2. Rode a snowmobile on asphalt
3. Went over 100 mph on a snowmobile

I don't know Amargosa Dunes.
The dune is two miles long and 600 feet (180 m) high. It lies on the edge of the ancient Lake Lahontan, that for the most part dried up 9,000 years ago.
Off road vehicle of every size and description race up and down this hill at up to 90 miles an hour. On holiday weekends some of the fastest hill climbers in the country come to compete in unofficial races up and down the mountain. They (Can-Am) didn't let us climb Sand Mountain we only got to ride the trails & smaller dunes around it.

The Traveler · Nov 19, 2012

Cool stuff guys!

On Friday night, I blew up my trucks battery for the first time I hope that never happens again.

Two days ago I visited Lake Superior and the UP of Michigan for the first time. Beautiful place, checked out Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and went wading in 40 degree water!! I fell in love. Already talked a friend into going with me next summer And I saw my first moose! LOL

Redfox1 · Nov 19, 2012

No matter how awesome she is, if she's not interested she did you a favor. Be glad.

Learning how to cook real meals has been it for me lately. Not living with my parents any more has made me learn a lot.

went on a zip line for the 1st time this last summer. the first jump was the hardest and scariest (not a big fan of heights ) but it turned out to be pretty fun!

My "firsts" usually revolve around trips and places that I visit. Like Yellowstone for example. I'm down there so often that it can get a little routine so I try to find hikes or side roads to explore along the way and make each trip unique. This last summer I went over Chief Joseph pass and entered Yellowstone through the East entrance for the 1st time ever...and I've been to Yelly dozens of times. I also took another trip to Yelly & Grand Teton parks and stayed on dirt roads almost the entire way. The trip took almost twice as long as if I had stayed on the highways but the scenery made it worthwhile. And I went to a TW meet in Idaho this summer and traveled over 150 miles on dirt in 3 days and saw areas of MT and ID that I never knew existed!
