Not lately Plumb, I’ve somewhat learned after 4 shoulder surgeries, 3 knees and 2 hip replacements that some risks just weren’t work it. Still however do some stupid things I shouldn’t but certainly much less.

4 shoulder surgeries? Wife will be getting # 2 and then a redo on the left. Hope she stops at 3.

Stupid vs risk taking. Could be considered the same i guess. I have a habit of stupidity now and then as well.

Good one. I took a risk of loaning money to a so-called family member who I felt was a true friend. Turns out I should have listen to my heart. Family is most times the worst

I had a huge 100lbs catfish trying to bring it in the boat with a big J hook sunk into my left hand knuckle and 10 more jugs bobbing with large channel catfish on them..I cut off the line off the hooks eye, finished getting my fish, baited my line's out, trailered the boat and went to have a pretty doctor do surgery to remove the hook.. Went back bandaged and bleeding harvested 17 more cat's, the big flathead like to got me overboard with an out of commission hand!

I would say that qualifies as taking a risk. Must have a rather big hook the doc had to remove.
