I love reading this thread. We certainly have run the gamut of daring/crazy.
And have been very lucky.
Life is good.
Definately luck

Lets see, 1970, Airborne and Ranger School and then an all expense paid vacation to the republic of Viet Nam and playing grunt in the 1st Cav...
Jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
While I did go to sea on boats that were designed to sink, the boldest thing I probably ever did was the first weekend of my senior year at USNA. I drove alone to a women's college 75 miles away on a Saturday night. I didn't know anyone there or even know exactly where it was. And I had no particular plan as to what I would do when I got there, but I was fairly certain that there would be young women, which was motivation enough. When I finally arrived after my long drive, it appeared deserted, but I saw some signs for a "mixer" and followed them. I found myself in a very large room with hundreds of young women. I coolly looked around the room for the best looking one, and when I found her, I walked right up and asked her to dance. She said "no, thank you". But I pleaded my case. Eventually, her friends gave her a look and a shrug, and she relented. And that was how I met the young wife 39 years ago.
Some would say this. That's me and the Mrs. at Preikestolen Rock in Norway.

Funny how looking at that picture makes me extremely squeamish, but I worked hundreds of feet underground in a mine and never thought twice about it.

Never understood why people watch men in dresses running.
