    Good judgement comes from experience. A lot of that comes from bad judgement.

    My response to a customer who wanted me to hurry: "Well ma'am, I've got two speeds, accurate and sloppy. Which would you like me to use?"

    When working on stuff in the garage with my dad I would ask,

    Can I do that, and he replied YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.

    I have lived by this and I cant believe some of the stuff I have done. I have a really cool project that I am building next, and I know very little on how to do it, but I know I can.

    I was helping my dad with something when I was 12 or 13, and he was upset with my progress. He told me "Boy, when you work as slow as you work, what you do better be good. If its good enough, always get paid by the hour."
    Another quote from dad, "Never let the little head get the best of the big head."
    Another quote from dad, "You will always have fights to fight, but there are only so many you will win. Choose which fights you fight carefully, and only fight the ones that are important, let the rest go. It improves the odds of winning the important fights."

    "When you do all you can do, all you can do is enough." Art Williams
    "All that is needed for evil to win is for good men to do nothing." Winston Churchill
    Can't never did anything.
    If you don't think you can, you are probably right.
    Greatness may be just past the next big mistake, never give up.

    My friends dad used to tell us teenage boys just as we were going out the door on a Saturday night "remember boys, a stiff cock has no conscience".

    When the gang would be sitting around drinking and everyone seemed to be picking on just one person, it was "their turn in the barrel" that night.

    Saxman,

    I was sitting on the couch tonight watching TV with my wife and at the same time checking the HAMB on my phone when I came across your post. I just about busted a gut laughing and my wife was looking at me like I had lost my mind. It has been a long time since I have laughed that hard...I am laughing as I am typing this. Thank you for that! Seriously!

    Steve

    A very dear departed friend made up a very special sign for my shop. It hangs and a prominent place that I can see as I am working away on projects."

    "There is no cure for stupidity"

    When dealing with the public on a regular basis I often look up at that sign and smile as I remember my friends smile and shaking his head up and down.

    Rest in peace, Greg Tocket

    just sayin'
