40 in 4 - Thanks Corona

I know my 40 in 4 won't end completely successfully, especially since coronavirus has shut down so much of what I wanted to do (goodbye most travel and group activities) but I realized I did TWO things that I wanted to do but hadn't written down so how fun to add those!

41. I shot a rifle! Shooting a gun has always been one of those things I needed to do "just once". I was lucky enough to be invited to a shooting range and was taught how to shoot. It was so enjoyable and while I still don't need to own my own, it was fun to be able to say I've done it.

42. I rode on a motorcycle! Ever since I was little and my "uncle" brought his down to our house, I've thought about getting on one but never really had anyone I trusted enough to take me out. That changed and I got to take a ride on a bike through town! I learned I like speeds but hate turns so...
