Over decades, I have done things that others thought poor.
Then again, I have seen others do things that even I consider poor.

Don't do stupid things.
Doing stupid things at least once does NOT mean you can do it again.
Pride be damned.....listen to others.....reflect...maybe change choices....be aware you will likely be judged harshly on RAS and other sites if things don't work out.
Think about others, mostly family....then friends, local peeps......insurance companies.....etc......
You have no say then, but others will have to deal with YOUR decision.....think about it......
