101 Things in 1001 Days (revised)

I don't think it's in the rule books, but I am revising my 101 things in 1001 days list. Yea, I know - cheater cheater pumpkin eater. After moving to Portland I've realized that a lot of the things I had on my list were location based. So I am revising it as not to become a complete and utter failure all because I moved away. I also visited the Day Zero Project website and discovered that they now have account capabilities available, to keep a running track of lists (super cool, but I will still post my list here and blog about completed tasks). 
And yes, because I am a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater I am starting my time-line over. I'll have you know I also have 51 new tasks to complete. So, a year (and 16 completed tasks) after the first one was created...here goes my new list:
