I'd agree with that. But, I'm much more patient in my work. Idiots and morons I don't have the time for!!

What I learned from my father:

"That which you do, do with all your might.
Things done by halves, are never done right!"

That still reverberates within me.

Though born a dirt-land farmer, and with only a formal eighth-grade rural education, his inspection stamps landed with the men on the moon.

The highschool I went to (Puyallup Highschool) Had the finest auto shop in the state, and was supported by the big three (Ford, Dodge, and Gm) and we had a chassis dino and an engine dino! Every time the big three came out with a new engine we got them for free! I went to that course for three years and credit them a ton for all I learned. All that is gone now, and they don't even offer any shop classes anymore. What a crime.......
