This isn’t for depressing things like “pee without excruciating pain” or “kiss my dead grandma” but more mundane things that due to “time moving onward” you’ll likely never have the need or opportunity to do again. Examples:
THINGS I’VE DONE BUT PROBABLY WILL NEVER DO AGAIN
-Rewind a VHS tape
-Transport a grown goat in a hatchback car
-Change a record player needle
-Adjust a TV antenna (or inserted a coathanger when there was no antenna)
We had a couple of horses on the farm I used to work at and I could ride. And later I rode a horse a few times when I was working my regular job. But I haven’t ridden a horse in over twenty-five years and I don’t even know anyone who owns a horse. So like the OP said, I don’t expect I’ll ever be in a position where I’ll have the need or opportunity to ride again.

-Ride in the back of a pickup on the freeway

Listen to music on those–what are they even called?–little discs, about 2 inches across, that go into a special player, not much bigger? Whatever they are. The band I used to be in put all their songs on them. I got kicked out of the band and what a pleasure it was to throw those fuckers out.
Turn on my old Dell desktop. I got Mr. MacBook Pro a year ago, and kept telling myself I’d someday figure out how to download stuff (whatever’s on there after 7 years) onto Mr. Mac. Now I can’t even remember what’s on there, so I’m tossing it.
Use one of those stupid tokens that IT gives out to get on-line somewhere. The ones where a secret passcode changes every 30 seconds, and you have to plug in whatever one’s showing at that moment to hop on-line. Buh?
