LWW's list of things every man, and many women, should own at least once in a lifetime
Aug 2, 2020 10:38:20 #
All but convertible, motorcycle, western boots, pickup, 4-wheeler, target pistol, scope (rifle - yes, scope - no).
I would add a high end digital camera system, laptop and desktop computers, high end mixer like a KitchenAid,
large screen high end TV -- above 55" and at least HD or even better QLED, good wine collection (this I don't have but have from time to time had some good wines).

Your reference to hitting groupings "the size of baseballs."

I can't have done too bad, the only things I'm missing is the pool cue and the seat at a pro sporting event. AND I've got almost all of what is on Architect1776's list. I would add:
a quality cigar cutter
a premium pair of binoculars
a good fishing boat
a sailboat
a canoe
a kayak

I've owned everything on your list except a fedora. Cowboy, Baseball, Tyrolean, boonie yes, but no fedora.
"A target pistol capable of putting 6 shots inside a circle the size of a baseball at 25 yards."
Most any pistol should do that. The B16 25 yard Slow Fire target has a 1.51 inch 10 ring. A modest Ruger 22 can hold the 10 ring if you do your part. I shot Bullseye with both High Standard Victor and S&W Model 41 both beautiful to shoot. Wish I had been as good as the gun :)

I don't have most of that stuff. Don't care. Not important.
I do have a wonderful wife, three loving children, three grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Nothing else matters.

Interesting title to this post..’every man and many women.’ Not much on your list of interest or importance to me. Don’t see many/any women chiming in. Wonder if the post reflects UHH membership fairly well—gender, age, affluence, culture. Just some reflections, not criticism. I won’t be suggesting a list. Have a full day ahead. Have a good day all!
I'm a female but I don't always conform to society's expectations of one.
I'm a 67 year old female who cuts wood every winter with my trusty Echo chain saw if I don't want to freeze my hind end off.
Sometimes I find myself having more in common with males than females. I have also noticed that most who respond on here are males.

Great list. Had a lot of the items but not all. How about a good stetson to go along with those western boots, a good baseball mitt, a good quality set of sharp knives for the kitchen, a family heirloom (antique) that spans many generations. As far as the larger items, the sports car is a rite of passage for youth or a solution to mid-life crisis. Mine was an Austin Healey 3000, downshifting going into turns and 4-wheel drifts are all part of the experience (and not something done with cars today. As far as hobbies are concerned, there's no upper limit to what you can spend if you're serious. Ours was horses, with the saddles, tack, trucks and trailers, some on your list. I see nobody has added a good set of golf clubs.

I had the convertible (automatic shift) but had an engine that all the mechanics would wonder about. Don't know why I didn't keep it but decided I needed a car that held five instead of one young fellow in uniform.
