My parents have told me that when my brother and I were young, we did some stupid things. I still do stupid things on a regular basis, but now try to limit those occurances. They say that Gary was great at coming up with ideas of things to try and I was pretty much fearless (or stupid depending on how you think about it). As I understand it now, Gary would come up with the plan, I would try to execute it. If the plan worked, it looked like fun, I didn't get hurt, or get into trouble, then Gary would take part as well. I don't know how many times this actually happened and how many adventures led to me being hurt or in trouble, but I would assume there were at least a couple. As I have gotten older, I have lost much of the fearlessness that I possessed as a youth (maybe I got smarter too). However, Gary can still come up with intriguing ideas. And now, I don't really have to worry about getting in trouble (at least by my parents). On the way down the mountain from fishing at Corona, Gary got an idea! I was eager to give it a try and see what happened, so hopped on without hesitation. I came out with only a couple minor scratches, so Gary gave it a try too. Caleb was willing to document the adventure, but was uninterested in participating. Mary wouldn't have anything to do with it (remaining in the pick-up), almost like she thought it was dangerous.
