He talked about being ready with self protection, guns, security, taking care of your family, etc. “You may only need security one time in your life, but which once?”

Not really; he'd tell it to me when I was trying to cut corners and do things sloppy. You end up making dumb mistakes that take a while to fix. It's really - just do it the right way the first time.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

If you dont stand for something you will fall for anything

God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth, so listen twice as much as you talk.

The difference between a bad haircut and good haircut is a couple of days.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right.

Do that again and you'll have a 10 and a half hanging out your arse.

If you are doing it with someone else’s money, there are two ways to do things. Perfect, or again.

I was giving the old man hell one day and he simply raised his open hand and said, “you know what this is? I said, “No.”. And he gave me the middle finger and said, “that’s five of this.”
I fell out laughing so hard!
Sadly, I found him laying in the living room floor in Jan. 2020. RIP, Dad!

My dad said he was going to go grab a bag of milk and never returned. I blame Trudeau.
