For me - other than not being a pussy, it's definitely working on cars and/or how to manage money.

One that I use all the time now, put stuff back where you got it. You never lose it if you do that.

Three things you can’t trust. Politicians, weathermen, and farts.


If you’re gonna swing the hammer, you better not miss.

How to do my taxes myself has been pretty helpful. Also, buy the top of the line tool you need for the job, don't buy the cheap shite.

Also, he has drilled into my head to marry rich. Probably why I'm not married yet. That is high in the priorities on what I'm looking for in a woman, rich parents

How to fix things around the house. Anything from a complete remodel of an entire home down to replacing a toilet. It's amazing how many people cant even replace a light fixture or ceiling fan. The only thing I cant fix/do related to construction is float drywall. That shite is an art.

When situations get stressful, pause for a minute. Most situations fix themselves.

Tbh my Father is the only person in my life who has never let me down.

He also might be able to fckking do anything. I've never seen him not be able to do a task/project/draw something/build something. He also is a closer, gets the job done. I'm none of that, I begin projects but never finish.
