Lorn,
The corollory to your don't fly rule is "never break two laws at once." If you are going to drive drunk (please don't) don't drive with a broken tail light. If you are going to run dope (please don't), don't speed. If you are going to do insider trading (I don't care), don't lie about it. A person gets stopped for the little things and get you wacked for the big things.

Rod,
I would not put anything extra in the airplane that had nothing to do
with flying and just to do with regulations.
If your regulation required instruments start to go on a stormy
night, it is just not your day. Land. Get a room. Relax. Have a
drink. Watch a movie. Live to fly again another day.
My policy is to count the things that go wrong before a flight. Once
the count hits 3, I don't fly. Some days are just not your day.
e.g. 1) I forgot my coffee cup, 2) weather looks bad, 3) tires are
low. Thats it. No flying today.
