    Everyone has something they are naturally good at. What thing just seems to come easy to you?

    Mine is creating Microsoft Excell workbooks, forms, writing formulas, etc.... Second is CAD. Third is figuring how to operate electronic devices without reading any books or anything by simply playing with it.

    Pretty geeky hey?

    So go ahead and brag a little.

    Holy smokes, I could generate such a list. I will do my best to meter myself.

    Mechanical design Engineering

    CAD

    Custom Knife making

    Killing deer with a bow

    Custom Sausage making

    Tipi Making

    Making stuff from scratch

    Bow building

    Displaying modesty

    Critical thinking

    The written word

    Debate

    Deer processing

    Spotting posers and jokers

    Problem solving

    Defending all that is right and good

    That’s the short list. I’ll add more later.

    I think Ricky Bobby summed it up for me pretty well.

    I've been told I'm good w. the wood.

    I have no formal training in construction, but it does seem to come natural to me. I pretty much built my house only using contractors for drywall, heating and cooling, and concrete. I did all the framing, electrical, plumbing and finish work. I also designed the house from the ground up, drew out the plans and executed the construction. It is an accomplishment that I am very proud of.

    I think you mistyped two extra letters and a space by accident. Try and be more careful okay?

    I can learn any Programming Language in about a week. It takes me about a week or less to master and learn any knew ERP, CRM or inventory system.

    I am great at grammar and spelling:)

    I am a great Dad and Husband, which what really matters to me.

    Germy, if you know or can learn PHP, HTML, Javascript, MySQL, CSS, etc, you can come work for me. We have an opening. Think of how fun it would be if I were your boss?

    I'll even throw in one 5 minute spooning session a day. I call back spoon.
