My daily life as a small business owner is a risk. One rich dude who decides not to pay his bills and I’m in trouble.

When I was in Hawaii for my engagement snorkeling I followed a sea turtLE WAY To far from shore but I took my time and made it back. Also had a very scary snorkel where I got trapped by the waves in a shallow area of sharp volcanic rock. Have to learn one’s limits. The sea is unforgiving!

What i always worried about on my senior customers was what if they die while i am doing there project. When it comes to money the left behind kids want it all.

That sure is the truth about knowing the limits J. It's odd that way how we forget where we are when engrossed in something that takes our minds away with it.

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

Sad but true Troy. Many times I've said family will burn you faster than friends n I've had plenty of them do it. Guess that wasn't friends in the first place. 👍

Whether it was fishing or everyday life, have you Ever taken a risk that you weren't sure of?

Ever ventured past your go to spot only to get lost?

Ever had the compass or GPS mislead you?

Ever swam a little to far?

Ever said anything knowing it was a risk?

Ever tried something knowing it most likely wont work?

Plum I've said plenty in my lifetime I knew was going to get me in trouble. People have a hard time believing some of us will give their honest opinion when you ask for it. Took a risk when I pulled out of my driveway on the morning of June 6. That risk paid untold dividends. Next trip won't be a risk. It will be a pleasure 🙂🙂.

And I'm betting that it was NOT a barbless hook, either!

Went back bandaged and bleeding harvested 17 more cat's, the big flathead like to got me overboard with an out of commission hand!

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.

Yeah Barn, I know where you're coming from with that. If that barb can't be advanced thru, and chopped off, it puts ya in a world of $#/T, I yanked a few out but they where like # 6 or 4 skinny freshwater hooks, except for one 3/0 Kahle shaped hook that hurt like crazy, but not too much damage. Most important thing is to clean and disinfect that wound channel.
Do not ask me how I know this..........
