Not a chance. I get nervous going down a slide. 😳
WYE learn to fly a plane?
Having been an aircraft engineer, I have a rough idea, but I have never had the desire to pilot one. It is said that if flying was difficult, they would have the ground crew do it! 🤣
WYE crowd surf at a concert?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
I see people doing it in concert livestreams and videos and find it absolutely terrifying, so no.
WYE get a picture with an artist you admire if you just met them casually on the street or something? (I know people who have done this)
Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.
Probably not. I generally wouldn't want to intrude on their privacy. I may acknowledge that I recognise them and say 'Hi', but that would be about it.
WYE complain that the Ice Cream float that you ordered didn't have any ice cream in it? (It happened to me yesterday)

Well, I imagine they put some kind of trackers in those now (probably something more sophisticated than an Airtag) so I would hand it in assuming they would probably be able to find it anyhow. Would rather not inadvertently SWAT myself.
WYE join a "secret society" (Masons, Rosicrucians, etc.)?
Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.
No. My thoughts on "Secret" Societies are that if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide and should be open and transparent.
If you won the lottery and if you could (many states in the U.S. require you reveal your identity), would you keep your winning secret from everyone outside your immediate family (I'm assuming you would want to help fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. Not so sure about the extend family, you'd probably here from cousins, nephews, nieces, etc., etc. you had never heard of!)
It would be mine, all mine. Mwahahaha! I would keep the knowledge as limited as possible until I had plans in place. After that, people would get their gifts (probably immediate and some extended family, depending on amount maybe some organizations I support) and then anyone can know because the money will already be spoken for.
WYE try living "off-grid" (ie. generate own electricity, water from a well or lake, etc.)?
Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.
Hard to live off the grid in a major metropolitan area. But my brother lives on a farm near Winchester, VA and gets his water from a well, has a septic, grows his own vegetables, eggs from chickens, milk from goats, etc., electricity from solar and wind. Fortunately, he has a job that allows him to work remotely from home.
Would you ever try skydiving?
Nope, I see no reason to. As an ex-aircraft engineer, I would rather wait until the perfectly serviceable aeroplane landed before stepping through the door. On the other hand, if said aeroplane became unserviceable and was going to hit the ground somewhat harder than intended...
WYE go white water rafting?
